Here is a typical comment to that opinion piece:
WAPO's editorial board has way too much time on its hands. Anyone with a brain and a set of eyes and ears knows the difference between Harris and Trump. It's real simple: Do you want to retain our democracy or not?

(126,147 posts)while Donald is an old guy with a history of cheating other people and looking out only for himself; Kamala used to prosecute sexual crimes but Donald sexually assaulted women and yukked around with his infamous friend who procured children for wealthy pedophiles; Donald has a string of felony convictions for fraud, steals public records, and incites violence, whereas Kamala doesn't --- but how can we tell them apart? I mean Donald used to spray-paint his face day-glo orange but I've been confusing the two of them every since he's been applying less

(12,412 posts)"Though specifics are light, Ms. Harris is plotting a wiser course. She is right to emphasize boosting housing supply, the key to lowering housing costs, and to propose enhancing effective anti-poverty programs such as the child tax credit and the earned-income tax credit. Unlike Mr. Trump, she acknowledges the fact of climate change, does not threaten Justice Department independence and seeks robust protections for reproductive rights. Mr. Trump, meanwhile, is offering a far less appealing domestic plan, focusing on illegal immigration, tariffs and ending the green energy transition, and rightly lamenting illegal immigration without offering solutions to the problem.
"On foreign policy, Ms. Harris has drawn perhaps her clearest differences with Mr. Trump. She has applauded Mr. Bidens work to strengthen U.S. alliances such as NATO, promised to stand with Ukraine and defended emphatically Americas traditional leadership role in the world. Mr. Trumps vice-presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), shares the former presidents neo-isolationist worldview. Trumps choice of Mr. Vance suggests he would continue to challenge traditional alliances while going easy on rivals such as Russian President Vladimir Putin."

(58 posts)the pathetic attempt at a hot job on Walz by Kathleen Parker (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/30/tim-walz-half-truths-record/). There might be a paywall.
I've subscribed to the Post for more decades than I like to count out loud, and I've steadily watched it deteriorate. It has yet to reach the depths of the NYT, but I think that is only because of the journalists there fighting against the downhill spiral.
