Because Dems have to be flawless while Trump can be lawless.

Yep. The media double standard is real. Trump and his minions have been threatening Democrats and minorities with death, forced deportation at gunpoint, the destruction of their careers and livelihoods, and lots else, and the national news media just shrugs. But Biden makes a verbal slip and appears to call all Trumpers garbage (he didn't) and suddenly the media acts like it's the most awful thing ever said, and Republicans puff themselves up and talk about how horrible Democrats are. The double standard is not only real, it has reached truly absurd levels.

Yeah, that's much more Elon's style. I doubt Trump is much of a c-word guy. He's much more into the dog flavor of misogyny.

If you'll remember, Trump is more of a juvenile c-word user. He told (I think it was) a female lawyer in the stolen the documents case - "C U Next Tuesday"

I read somewhere that Trump's social platform is worth quite a bit more than x is now.

I know it’s probably not the main problem with Guliani’s racism, but Haiti doesn’t have jungles. It has suffered massive deforestation as a result of bad government and bad weather.

I think it's intentional. Notice that Trump has started talking about all the people from Congo coming in to the country. And then he emphasizes that Congo is in Africa.

They are basically framing this election as white civilized people from America against black people from the jungles of Africa.

That's an apples to oranges comparison. The true value of Trump's social platform is very close to zero. Its value as a corruption vector might or might not be higher. But the X valuation is based on its actual financials, not on stock market sentiment of rubes.

Probably true but I look at my stocks value and consider it close to my net worth.

Yes, I am sure that is correct. Jungle is an especially racist term when used in that manner.

I do agree with you that the Harris campaign has not touted the record breaking stock market, low unemployment, and America's lower inflation than any other developed country. Trump is running on the lie that the economy is in the dump, when that is not reality. His supporters don't expect or seemingly want reality from him, though.

I am sure that was a calculated decision by the Harris campaign. I agree with all your points about the Economy.

But trying that approach could alienate more voters than it enlightens.

The slightly below average Americans (by wealth and income) do not care about any of that. The lower to lower middle class (which makes up a huge chunk of the population) owns no investments. All they know and care about is that they were already struggling financially (by American norms) and the spike in inflation made it much harder for them.

Instead of "it's the economy stipid," it is now "It's the ability to make your paycheck last, stupid."

I don't think it is a story with staying power. It barely qualifies as a story at all. Don't trust the Twitter echo chamber.

1. I think you're almost certainly correct.

2. If Kamala is looking for a way to credibly distance herself from Joe, it sure does seem the last couple of days have provided a nice contrast.
