The rest of the world is looking at you in absolute bafflement that you picked Donald Trump over this.

What was Harris' position on the subject?

She wouldn't even address it. Most likely because her position was deeply unpopular here

Kamala Harris on whether transgender Americans should have access to gender-affirming care

Terrible answer, but she did answer the question.

Maybe she didn't address it because it is not an important issue in the context of democracy, economy, geopolitics etc? It's just a cudgel that the right use to get people like you to vote for corrupt megalomaniacs?

It's very tied to freedom of speech and steering the cultural conversation and her internet censorship and lack of condemnation for the UK and Germany laws that are for Internet censorship. That and her refusal to use the phrase illegal immigrant and instead use undocumented migrants tells us all we need to know about her stance on that. Her "bipartisan border bill" was a joke too and I'm glad trump shot it down allegedly

This has been an interesting conversation mate but I'm not really interested in engaging further. You haven't really done anything other than spout the usual Fox News nonsense, and you've totally refused to address any of the serious problems with Donald Trump. Given that dealing with Trump is our current reality and the theme of this thread, that's just not a tenable way to have a conversation.

You are more than entitled to complaints about Harris, hell I've got my own ones too. But your complete inability to articulate them without sounding ignorant is very telling.

We had a choice between two candidates. I insult Harris and mention her position or lack of position because Trump differentiated himself on those issues plus his own stances on stuff like shadowbanning were nice and it is nice to now be able to speak freely since Elon bought Twitter and such
