Hoping this can be a way to make people think more critically about their choice for US President, maybe even bring opposing sides together to fix the problems we ALL face.

So if you support Trump try to list 3 things you dislike about him and 3 things you like about Harris. Please keep answers serious. Plenty of other places on Lemmy for you to post snappy putdowns.

Yeah exactly, this is why "fair and balanced" is horseshit. If the candidates were respectable people then sure. When one is openly racist, misogynistic, and constantly lies they lost the privilege of deserving fair and balanced journalism. they don't deserve our attention because they've shown (tens of thousands of times now) that they can't be trusted.

So no, 3 positives and 3 negatives isn't fair when for one candidate it'd be picking for a good mix of each and the other 3 negatives would be hiding thousands of other (I'll say it) atrocities.

Harris has a weird laugh. Trump has been racist towards Hispanics/latin americans since day one, blaming them for everything from inflation to saying they they are taking over neighborhoods

Doesn't come off as even does it
