it has completely and utterly destroyed any trace of trust and respect I still had left for the American electorate.

It’s outstanding it lasted this long, or even existed.

People act like Nixon just didn’t exist for some reason.

Some of those lies would unironically help her tho…

Like, banning fracking alone would probably get her PA. But these are ok Twitter so only conservatives will see them. Everyone else with a rational mind left long ago

You’re not holding your nose, you’re making a stand for something you believe is vitaly important to your future.

It can be both…

Stopping fascism would be easier if we didn’t need people to hold their nose, but reality is reality

Denying it won’t change it.

We need people to hold their noses. And saying that what we need is a bar that Kamala can’t clear is what you should be complaining about. But youre not mad at the headline…

The people we need to hold their noses, are already aware of what my first comment said.

If you want their vote, then you need to convince them in a way that works.

That doesn’t include lying and getting mad at people for stating facts. It’s stating that Kamala needs to be better and we (as a party) will keep pulling her left instead of just accepting her flaws and never asking for more.

Harris’s position is bad but voting for anyone else is so much worse right now

No one is saying anything different…

But someone can hold their nose while still admitting a candidates shortcomings and pushing for them to follow US law is a pretty low fucking bar.

We literally can’t get one tho…

Harris has said she thinks Biden is handling Israel fine and she wouldn’t do anything different.

Biden is ignoring evidence Israel is using US weapons in war crimes which is in violation of the Leahy law.

So sure, we all need a US president who respects evidence, but we won’t get one for at least 4 years, and if Kamala wins I see no reason the DNC would let us have a primary.

and the charger often quite warm.

People hate on bricks, but they’re still around because of heat dissipation.

Charging a phone in an hour is a lot different than keeping a laptop going for 8 hrs.

The elections office in Montgomery County, just north of Houston, had sent Howard-Elley a letter in late January saying that she had been flagged after she indicated that she was not a U.S. citizen in response to a jury summons. She had 30 days to provide the county proof of citizenship or she would be removed from the voter rolls, according to the letter.

The retired Transportation Security Administration agent was confused by how the county could come to that conclusion. And she seethed at the idea that anyone would question the citizenship of a former federal employee with the “whitest name you could have.”

"Who is allowing people to do this to United States citizens? I understand we have a problem with immigration, but come on now,” Howard-Elley said in an interview.

She told the government she was a non citizen…

And now she’s upset the government thinks she’s a non citizen?

like literally every other president has done…

Name the last president before Biden that never ordered the DOJ.

Biden could, whenever he feels like it.

He can order any goverment agency to do pretty much anything.

If the agency head refuses, Biden can fire them.

If the next person in the chain of command refuses, Biden can fire them too. Ideally he’d be replacing them, but even if he couldn’t, he could just run down and see how many people would throw their careers away to slightly delay a rightful investigation.

I don’t think it would last long.

Hell, not a single one resigned when Biden ordered return to office. I guess this isn’t as important to Biden to put the same about of effort in here tho.

If only we had a president who could order the DOJ as part of his normal powers like literally every other president has done…

Are you telling me Jeff Bezos the billionaire didn’t buy print media to make money?!

She’s doing better than the old white man who’s been politically powerful for half a century…

The thing is we could have ran AOC and shed have pissed off exactly as many conservatives, but gotten a whole lot more moderate support and taken votes from Stein

The biggest problems with Kamala Harris are her policies

The only reason Bibi hasn’t been voted out of office is he’s refusing to let an election be held due to “attacks”.

So he has to keep Israel in a perpetual conflict or he loses power.

There’s nothing he can do to win over enough Israeli voters that he’d be comfortable enough to let an election be held.

Israel is a genociding rouge nation lead by right wing religious extremists that shows no signs of stopping their pursuit of border expansion…

It’s crazy more people don’t fear their expansion

It sounds like a cheesy plea for volunteers…

But this would actually help destress you if you’re worried.

The human brain is pretty shit at evaluating plans, but fucking hates doing nothing. It’s why superstition is a universal thing.

Doing literally anything about a problem will make your brain calm down, even if it’s counterproductive.

Nate Silver got fired from his own company and talks like a 4chan 12 year old these days…

But all too often when he agrees with someone they run around with his statement like his word still means anything

You misunderstood…

When they were too scared for their own safety it was in 2022 when he was stealing signs from people’s yards or cutting them up with a pocket knife.

The candidate had to hire a private investigator because cops wouldn’t investigate, and in the report it mentioned he showed signs of far right Christian extremism (his target was a Jewish Dem).

Cops said they were too scared to do anything, and the prosecutor refused to press charges.

Because cops were two afraid of a pocket knife, he kept going to the point of shooting up campaign offices and carrying a machine gun along with other weapons.

The cops allowed the situation to become more dangerous because they were afraid to step in.

That and it was over a decade ago.

Like, Kamala is by no means perfect. But she’s a hell of a lot better than Biden, obviously better than trump, and literally the only option at this point.

If you want to try and pull her to the left on prison reform, then that could be a good use of time and effort. But complaining about something from over a decade ago doesn’t help anything.

Back before Biden dropped out I got a spam text to do a survey about Biden, but it was from a legitimate group of Senate Dems.

So I figured I complain enough, might as well do it directly.

The survey was 3 questions like “do you agree trump is a danger? Yes or no.”

And you couldn’t submit it until it took you a donation page with a 5 minute timer and no chance to skip.

Feeling I might as well keep going at this point, I waited.

When the timer expired, it reset to five minutes.

There was no way to submit the survey except donating, and it was designed to make you think you had to rush, and obviously each time it reset, it would change the donation back to $200.

It’s some shit I’d expect only Republicans to pull.

They “warned him” with a letter…

Moderates aren’t enough to fight fascism, they won’t put the effort in because they’re more concerned with stopping progressives.

If we got rid of the fascists, there wouldn’t be a reason to hold our nose and vote for a moderate.
