I feel like a lot of this is Russian bots stirring shit up, Israel is the perfect thing to get people not to vote at all, which is exactly what they want, that's basically a vote for trump but people are either too privileged or stupid to realize it

Hey I'm voting for Harris, I just think its important to call out bad takes from anyone, including those who I vote for. I do it for my local and my federal offices. I email my republican congress members (they don't respond beyond the default robot reply) and I complain to my democratic senators.

Oh god; how many fucking times this has been explained.

  1. publically disparage imperfect non-conservative leadership candidate
  2. fewer people vote for that person because of the sea of over-advertised issues - which exist on every candidate but are associated with just the one
  3. fewer people voting - low voter turnout - has been shown many times to inordinately favour conservative candidates because of their strong loyalty uber-alles schtick
  4. conservative candidate wins
  5. 90% of people are worse off, and are sad, and all from 'calling out bad takes from anyone'.

Preserve the ability to protest. Then protest afterward if we still have the right.

Anything I don't like is foreign interference, I'm okay with voting for a candidate that endorses genocide, anyone that doesn't share my views is stupid

Hell yeah brother. I'm also proud to be a part of the freest country in the universe. 👏More👏trans👏drone👏pilots👏

Genocide or fascism+genocide, pick one, because those are your two choices at the moment, and not picking counts as a vote for fascism+genocide

Grow up

Aaron Sorkin wrote it best:

Will McAvoy : [Turns to Lewis] And with a straight face, you're gonna tell students that America is so star-spangled awesome that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom. Japan has freedom. The UK. France. Italy. Germany. Spain. Australia... Belgium! has freedom... 207 sovereign states in the world, like 180 of 'em have freedom.

Also Jeff Daniels in arguably his best scene and/or best role. What a great show.
