Trump and his followers believe that they represent the silent majority
So does Harris and her Democrats. That’s the whole “But we won the popular vote!” defense, every time a Democrat gets ratfvcked out of a few hundred votes in a swing state on election day.
The bitter truth is that, with over half of the population unwilling or unable to vote, these candidates are at best representing a plurality.
Calling them out as weird and cowards attacks exactly these values.
As elections go, the common denominator between the two candidates appears to be their refusal to endorse their own party’s policies. Trump keeps backing away from Project 2025 and insisting it has nothing to do with his campaign. Harris is falling over herself to get away from the Genocide Joe name tag and to distance herself from the litany of undelivered platform of promises - from gun control to M4A to higher education relief to a Green New Deal - that they can never rally enough votes in their own caucus to pass.
The battlefront is entirely what the other person is going to do if they get into office. Kamala promises not to sign a bill banning abortion. Trump promises not to sign a bill that legalizes immigration. Both promise not to sign a bill that will increase your taxes or cut your benefits. But that’s it. It’s all defense, no offense.
The best either candidate seems willing to promise is that nothing will get done.
