  • I think it’s a trap. I think liberal institutions need to actually unify and resources. Money talks. Nothing about that has changed. Buying out board seats within corporate media, flooding the zone with lawsuits, staging organized major protests around the country, continuing to press back on right wing controlled social media (e.g. Facebook and Twitter). Think of it like laying a sort of political and legal siege to slow them down and starve them out rather than giving them what they want. Will that work? I have no idea, but I know walking into a trap surely won’t.









  • You can look at all my comments today to see my enthusiasm. I wish more folks were feeling hopeful. I told my partner I was stoked and she was so confused as to why this shouldn’t be perceived as a full scale collapse.

    I didn’t like Kamala in the past. I didn’t like Biden either. Politically speaking, they both align closely with one another and are also aligned quite close to my political leanings, ideally speaking. I didn’t like the baggage Kamala brought with her and I didn’t like how boring ole Biden was. Turns out boring won, and I’ve truly valued the work he’s done since 2020.

    I’ve also come around on Kamala since then, especially after reading her book, and listening to some of her speeches more recently. I don’t think she’s the same person she was 20+ years ago. Who among us would say that about ourselves? I think she’s evolved away from the drug criminalization prosecutor era, and she’s clearly gotten a lot stronger since 2020 as both a public speaker and debater.

    If her and Trump actually do have a debate (I doubt it) I fully expect her to completely embarrass him. She’s much younger, much sharper, and has all of the right tools through her career to completely pants him as the old withering corpse that he has become even since 2016. Bonus points if she drops a “lock him up!” because, well, she actually could.

    Yes, I am actually looking forward to voting for Harris. I would even more so if she taps Mark Kelly as her VP. That would be a dream.











  • I don’t understand you people in this thread.

    Goes to show how many of these people were disingenuous and never actually wanted the party to win regardless. Some of those people operate on the far right. Some of them were just Trumpers in disguise, foreign operators, bots, etc. It’s a lot of bullshit. I’m looking forward to supporting Kamala though.
