"“There’s problems on both sides.”"

ok
i haven't liked her from the beginning and every new bit of news doesn't change that

[evilgerbil]

Both parties absolutely have problems, but the scope of them is in orders of magnitude.

[fromyourashes]

i definitely don't disagree. personally, i don't think we should ever trust any politician. but this not picking a side bullshit right now? ehhh

[asnindie]

I mean Dems are literally helping Israel obliterate Palestinians so she ain't wrong. Both side are messed. It's just one side is truly more evil.

[formisscaulker]

she publicly supports palestine so this makes sense, sorry.

[formisscaulker]

+ KH's team is all about how many republicans support her so i fail to see what's wrong here lol you guys.. let's be adults. i understand what trump means but why believe in fairy tales.

[astrofisica]

the fact that Dick Chaney supports Kamala shows you everything about how far right the democrats moved these past two election cycles.

[automaticpeople]

Not liked her since she ditched her fans for the vma awards.

She doesn’t seem that smart.

[ladychips]

did she cancel a show? this is disappointing to hear

[automaticpeople]

She cancelled them last minute to do the vmas, although I don’t think she admitted that was why.

iirc she did on the red carpet interviews

[benihime99]

I do agree on the vote small, vote in your city
Cause these are important for your everyday life, it has direct impact

And I get that as someone who is pro-palestine she doesn't want to openly support Kamala

BUT

saying both side have issue is often interpreted as "both side are EQUALLY bad", which they are not

[chll51]

Pretty much and I feel flashback to the whole trump v. Hilary shit again. Like they're both not equal in any way shape or form.

[aleksie]

I agree with this take. This is reminding me of when people try to say "both people are at fault" for a conflict when one person is clearly wrong and maybe the other person sort of raised their voice.

[chll51]

I'm surprised she didn't say Palestine and instead said Trans right (not that the latter isn't important but that would be a good criticism against Harris/Waltz campaign since I don't think Trans right is something Harris/Wall are against).

Either way, she's not required to endorse anyone publicly.

[lolzerz]

if she truly cares about trans rights, she would endorse kamala and not be bragging about how she gets along her with trumper family.
trump is literally running a fearful and hateful campaign against trans people right now, spreading conspiracies that they are getting transitional surgeries AT SCHOOL. kamala is not doing that shit.
this woman is an idiot, im sorry.

[chll51]

Don't be sorry. I'm not a fan. I don't think she's bright but her heart is semi in the right place.

[godrevypoint]

Yeah this is pretty much what I said in my comment too. The fact that her sticking point for not choosing a side is trans rights doesn’t make much sense when the opposition is Trump. Kamala makes it a point to talk about her support for the LGBTQ community, and you’d have to be bonkers to think Trump would be a better choice for that. If Chappell’s sticking point were Palestine (which is mine) I’d understand her “look at both sides” argument better because Harris has openly again and again supported Israel and the genocide so it’s hard to fully support her.
