Debatable if this should be flagged? (politics) I'm personally pro-science but this does seem to be intended to sway voters.

It is definitely interesting that Scientific American takes a stance.

I don't know what point you tried to make. All discussions comparing candidates are intended to contribute to the decision-making processes followed by voters. What exactly do you think takes place in an election?

I mean,the article leads with this observation:

> Kamala Harris has plans to improve health, boost the economy and mitigate climate change. Donald Trump has threats and a dangerous record

If you're deciding who to vote for, you're still undecided and those values are important to you personally, don't you think this information is decisive?
