It’s like there isn’t enough understanding how fucking stupid of a move this was. It was the worst possible scenario.

Think about yelling at a couple of white chess pieces left in the board “GET ANGRY! Fight!” when the full black set is there minus a couple of pawns.

I’m not saying don’t but you don’t have much to actually do anything with. Protesting and civil disobedience I would think a lot the best options and it doesn’t seem like people have an appetite for those at scale.

Thanks for posting. Would like to use this for multiple reasons.

She said she had no problem following it, even if she disagrees with it. Hopefully she can hold her head up high and deal with wimpy bully tactics until this shit storm passes.

I can “say” anything I want. I have pictures of Trump and Schiff making out in the backseat of a Honda Odyssey. Ask me to release them. ASK ME!

Democrats faces when they realize there’s nothing they will come of it.

Fuck federal politics for a while, spend your energy on your local community. At least it won’t be wasted energy

Uproot it. It will be more interesting and fulfilling if you do.

It’s a lot harder than you think though.

Pretty interesting takes. Read the whole thing.

Media hyped bullshit.

This headline and article is bullshit. Yeah being that old is a negative. But look at Bernie, he would have been just fine when he ran.

The real and glaring issue is Trump himself. Full stop.

I think she’ll take Michigan.

It’s obvious that there is a double standard but it’s too late to point it out.

Time is up.

If people are “undecided” they aren’t going to even consider media fairness or maybe even logic at this point.

It’s Donald Fuckin Trump. Rapist. Fascist. Liar. Cheat. Insert hundreds of other negatives and reasons why he should not have power and be in jail.

It’s voting time. That’s all that’s left. He won the media and the narrative enough to make it a race at all. Pointing it out now is fruitless - he got away with that shit for his purposes.

No you don’t. You just really ought to vote.

I hope you vote for Harris because Fuck Trump and I think she’ll be a good president, but you don’t HAVE TO vote for one of them. But really, please vote.

I didn’t feel the need to check.

You didn’t actually address the contradiction, you danced around it. Try to truly reconcile it.

Honestly I feel it’s even more likely he’s elected this time. The “Hillary hands down” polls were so much wider than any I’m seeing. Unless polling has gotten considerably more accurate, there are going to be a lot of sad and shocked people out there days after the election.

I truly hope my feelings are unjustified but the nation is in big fuckin trouble.

I see this in my purple state amongst my teenage kids peers, and it’s terrifying.

Fingers Clarence Thomas?

I agree with you here in premise, pal.

The “who” they’re attacking is my mother in law. She believes all modern cancer treatments are bad because she’s done her research. She would likely cut off anyone who has had a chemo treatment she feels so strongly about this.

She goes to “children’s health alliance” type seminars and fundraisers and gives them money. She spreads anti vaccination propaganda to her friends, family and any stranger that will listen to her.

She went to nursing school (didn’t graduate) 55 years ago, so she has “knowledge and experiences in these matters”.

She prints out articles and tapes them around the house for when she has company. She email blasts and pastes articles or videos in group messaging feeds. She is right and nothing will change her mind. Evidence and logical rebuttals are met with “deep state” and “big pharmaceutical companies” retorts.

The crazy thing is, it’s a mix of truth and lies which blurs the lines of what you can call out and can’t, and she loves to change the subject as soon as one brings up a point she can’t refute. Raising her voice makes her arguments that much more true.

Now dear reader you must be thinking “How exhausting. What a waste of time to even engage this!” That would be correct, and I don’t. But the point is to bait and draw people into these conversations and although that isn’t me, it’s successful here and there for her to win and feel validated with all of this energy.

The worst part? Her family loves her and seeks her approval so many of them buy into it all. Including those with kids now going unvaccinated.

So I hear your initial point, but this type of questioning could lead to someone being shut down properly if enough were to hit a “I did my research” perpetrator like my MIL. This isn’t about “top 5 ways to fix your AC condenser unit when it stops” type research.
