I completely agree with your last two paragraphs. Regarding the rest, the other person that replied stated my thoughts in much more eloquent terms than I'm able at present.

Edit: regarding the electoral and electorate math: I noticed you didn't touch the "Trump working the Netenyahu to block a ceasefire" (which would obliviate the need for bombs), "you can't govern if you can't win", and "AIPAC" topics, but also seem to think that all of this is Harris' fault or she has control of this.

That'll teach her! Way to go - you really stuck it to that horrible excuse of a candidate.

It's not like she had better labor policies (or practices) than that other guy (or did she?)

It's not like that other guy was (allegedly) working with an (alleged) war criminal to rebuff US efforts to make a ceasefire deal (or was he?)

And finally, it's not like AIPAC can literally thumbs up or down damn near any politician in the US like Julius H. Fucking, Ceasar and an almost universal bloc of voters will carry out their direction. Oh, wait, they will.

The thing that pisses me off is that yeah, maybe she's fine in Cali or Hawaii or wherever. But there's gonna be a fuck of a lot more death and misery in the world if fascists get control of the United States in the form of Donald Trump, and in those few states that matter (because of the fucked up electoral college) that attitude , which I perceive as smug self-righteousness, could be the deciding factor.

That simple worldview, unburdened with the whole idea of "you can't make change if you're not elected" must really be comfortable.

But you sure showed Harris.

I'd love to expound on this thought, but I have a fussy infant daughter that needs attending. BTW, it would be really cool if she FUCKING DIDN'T have to grow up in some goddamned Handmaid's Tale dystopia.

Yeah, but then we get Vance, who is worse.

This will be my third time as an election official. I'm "just" in my early 50s and am the kid in the room that's good with computers. A younger generation of poll workers is desperately needed. I have to use a vacation day to do it, but am glad I have that ability.

My dad, after a discussion in my young adult years turned political: "if you're not a liberal when you're young, you don't have a heart. If you're not conservative when you're an adult, you don't have a brain."

Well, dad, I have made it to adulthood with brilliant children and great relationships with them to boot. I'm still a screaming liberal and you're still a racist that is gargling the balls of a wannabe dictator.

I will die on the hill that Bluetooth always has and always will suck ass. Pairing sucks. Latency sucks. Random-ass disconnects suck. Fuck Bluetooth in the neck sideways with a rusty screwdriver.

And that's not being snide - they actually had that on the giant scroller at the rnc convention!

The absolute worst, most annoying thing about every Apple advert and the day-long adverts - the launch day events, is the freaking hyperbole.

(breathlessly exclaim:) The fastest ever. The thinnest ever. More cameras than ever! The most ever ever!

My coworker is fully bought in to the ecosystem, so I get the full experience every launch day. Listen critically sometime. Turn on your bullshit filter. It's a fun game.

That's the most depressing thing I've seen all day, and I've been doomscrolling since I woke up.

Yeah, those damn liberals and their... Summer school lunch programs... And not wanting kids to get cut to ribbons in the Rio Grande... And wanting to assure access to healthcare, no matter who you are or your gender expression, or if you want safe access to an abortion... And want to end systemic racism...

Yeah, you're right - both sides are the same. /S

HEY MEDIA!

Stop. Giving. These. Fuckwits. Attention!
