Sorry Amber G, quoting bits and pieces of your post to make a broad point about “choice” in any US election.Amber G. wrote: ↑04 Nov 2024 05:19 I wholeheartedly endorse Kamala Harris for President.
As Michelle Obama so eloquently stated,…. At this point there is simply no other choice.So I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn. I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known … a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this, while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all.
The perception of “not having any other choice” is the very much the outcome of “manufactured consent”. In US elections, people are often provided choices, which leads them to “it is not who you vote for, but who you vote against”. By carefully selecting the two candidates with certain profiles, people are then asked to vote as if they really had any choice and that is “manufacturing consent”. KH’s careful, last moment
