"Both sides are just as bad" is why half the women in the country don't have access to reproductive health. Harris and the Dems, while not perfect, are at least sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians. Blinken is working to get a cease fire as best he can. But I am sure your moral high ground in being uncompromising with your support of Gaza will comfort you when Trump opens concentration camps in our own country for the undocumented. The "dictator on day one" won't give a shit at best and it could be the last election your vote is even counted. You think the police are bad at protests now? Wait till he declares martial law and you are staring down the barrel of millitary M4s. We can't help anyone outside this country if we lose what little democracy we have left.

Doesn't he hold controlling shares? I mean, yeah him getting out of tXitters' way would make huge sense, but he would either have to sell at a huge loss or drop his overinflated ego.

The less visibility the DNC has with anyone associated with Epstein, the better.

Don't give the fucking orange-cheeto nazi bastard any ideas. Unless he wants to play Electioneering, and then less than 1% of attendees would understand he's admitting to his grift, stay the fuck away from Radiohead.

Dems would have to win every competitive race to keep the senate, and that would just be 50-50 so we need Walz as VP too.

He can understand, but still be pissed the work he put in during this administration wasn't able to carry him to a second term after being undermined by his age and debate performance. Especially considering the alternative

From a Ukrainian perspective, it is totally and completely a war.

Correct. It's ok for him to have a thing for couches. It's not ok for him to disenfranchise women of their agency to make a choice for their own lives and bodies.

No, Mr. Green, Communism is just a Red Herring.

11 aircraft carriers, the dollar being the fiat currency of the world, and our cultural dominance pretty much seals the hegemony win for the US since the '90s, but ok, sure dude. We're no different than other countries...

I guess this is one of the few times American Exceptionalism actually proves right. We've always been a melting pot of cultures. That includes many different "white" cultures for a good few centuries, but go ahead and ask the Irish and Italian immigrants if they didn't feel like minorities as they were coming off the boats to Ellis Island. Even next to the oppression and brutality both Native and Black Americans faced, their contributions to our society are innumerable and invaluable. The new immigrants coming from Latin America are just being played for political gain while we appreciate and depend on their willingness to work our farms and construction sites. Their kids are just as adapted to American culture as mine are, just as every second generation of immigrants turns out to be. We stress a huge amount about racism (and yes we still have a long way to go, as Trump shows) but when you really compare us to other countries, we seem to be doing alright. The melting pot will keep going, even once us white people are under 50% of the population.

Hey, I wish "They go low, we go high" worked but 2016 proved that isn't the world we live in. Even then, joking that Vance fucked a couch, which is a super fantastical claim which most people will at worse laugh at, is in a different league than claiming the VPotUS got there on her knees, especially when misogynistic magats will instantly believe it is true.
