I absolutely do not agree with Vance, but he did get Walz on that abortion bill clarification. Walz couldn’t clarify because it’s a very specific detail, but I don’t think the average voter is going to see it that way. You can claim that it was unfair for Vance to do so, but for a political debate it was a solid jab. I really think productive rights voters are gonna lead this election.
I fear nutters might run away with this out of context.
Dick Cheney: The Optimist. I get his point but following it with: …they’re some of the most optimistic people, just made me lol.
Yeah, it was a very respectable debate, which is a nice change of pace. It gives me hope of eventual political “normalization” or Vance is very good at being an absolute snake.
You’re absolutely right. He pulled off quite the balancing act though, just in case.
I think escaping the shadow of Trump might be tricky though, but 4+ years is a long time.
Honestly, that was a solid debate from both candidates. They both did a good job dancing around direct answers. They both could throw and take jabs. The humbleness and relatability of both candidates was a breath of fresh air. I think they both did a good job trying to sway anyone on the fence, and overall, I think this benefits the Republican Party most. Vance is just a much more personable person than Trump. Democrats are really going to need to turn up if they want to win this election. I really think productive right-specific voters are going to show up from both sides and determine it.
Here’s to hoping personal autonomy wins out. Govement rules over ones personal body is a slippery slope. Allowing one to choose, that’s freedom.
Ah Safari, the IE8.5 of modern browsers…
Like criticizing cavemen for not properly washing their hands. Our ancestors were fucking stupid and what’s obvious to us now was not obvious to them then. That’s why it’s a product of it’s time, a window to a past society, and a reminder of how far we’ve come. I’m not seeing anybody here celebrating racism or sexism and ignoring that it existed at all is a braindead thought-pattern. You’re arguing for the sake of arguing and it’s entirely unnecessary.
Sexism in a movie set in the early 1900s!? Say it ain’t so!
A John Stewart VP pick could be cool though. I could see him siting on the Senate floor calling out people BS all day.
No good will come of this “Weekend at Bernie’s” farce of an election.
Hard disagree.
Anybody who has actually followed what Trump has done / is doing vs what Biden has done / is doing knows there’s a clear distinction between the two. One is clearly a worse choice. It reads like you’re just intoxicated by the smelling of your own farts.
The Dems are going to win. It’s painfully clear that Trump (and his cabinet members) are unfit to lead and do not have the best interest of our nation’s people. We’ll have to wait til November to what degree that is.
A better approach I think is voting more progressive thinkers into congress and other places of power and authority.
It feels like a long con. The years of eroding the educational budget have finally paid off. It’s going to be an upward battle to bring back logical thinking and media literacy.
Tyrannical governments rise from apathy. The final governmental check is its people.
A lot of news outlets have turned into just churning drama. I’ve noticed it this election cycle with NYT and CNN.
How is this going to “shift votes”? How exactly? From who? Who’s really on the fence between the “Old man” and the convicted felon suspected to be a pedophile attempting to become king? No sane person is shifting vote over this and the insane are already vehemently R.
Probably not every single solitary person, but the majority. I think politics have been too divisive to the point where the middle is too slim to make a difference. These aren’t new political candidates. Nothing has changed.
From the NYTs - what a bunch of lame-ass ragebait.
Yeah, I really think productive rights voters are going to turn out and likely be deciders.
