Yeah, I know a few Swifties that have been mad she hadn't endorsed yet, but she was clearly timing this for maximum impact. Well played.

For those of who grew up with the Cold War, it was such an optimistic moment when the Russian people rose up against their government. (My girldfirend at the time was scheduled to visit Russia on high school trip, the next week.) Such a wasted opportunity.

I have no idea, but I imagine that they might likely have been extracting commitments behind the scenes. It's all well and good the the GOP will be worse, but unions are not obligated to give away their endorsements without getting commitments from the Democrats. You and I may see this as an existential vote against fascism, but not everyone sees it that way.

No, I don't think I wrote my post clearly. I see how you might have misread it or at least found it vague.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that you asking the question is problematic.. I was referencing a small number of people that have emphatically posted that anyone who calls her Kamala is innately engage in racist/sexist behavior. It was not my intention to lump you in with them for asking the question.

It's a dumb argument. Trying to tell her supporters how to refer to her is divisive unnecessary virtue signaling. I tend to say say Harris these days, for most of the last four years, I have refereed to her as Kamala or Kamala Harris, so that people would know who I was talking about. (And all of the campaign text that were supposedly from her began with "This is Kamala".

Mastodon for Harris is now at $330,000 with a new goal of $500,000! Keep it rolling!

Never mind, I guess Harris secured the nomination while I was on my bike ride. Go Harris!

I'm all for Harris in substance, we just have three months to build her brand, Michelle Obama's comes out of the package. That said, the odds of it happening are very low, non-zero until Barrack endorses Harris, but very, very low. I'm prepping to boost Harris.

Unless Michelle Obama descends on a cloud from heaven, surrounded by a choir of angels, it will be Harris.

I think there was reason to believe after Trump's appointments that they had every reason to do it it before 2022. But you might be right that they still wouldn't have had the votes.
The problem is that they really are doing a poor job defending our rights. They are losing.
Obviously, or it should be, voting against the Nazi's is the basic thing we all need to do. The Dems are not making it easy.

Dude, maybe passing this when they held both houses? This is going nowhere in the House.

I want to say Tywin or Baelish based on the way they pull Joffrey's strings.

Sure, sure, but we all agree that Trump is Joffrey, yeah?

It's almost like it was intentional allegory or something.

Clearly, the point of the product is to collect information about you. "Help you" is just the hook.
I think I am switching my PC over to Linux and my phone over to Graphene this summer.

They are protesting over fishing. Except, they aren't protesting. They are direct action anarchist types.

I think sometime around the 32 millionth a conservative referred to to someone on the left as a libtard, the left just broke and got tired of not firing back. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying I understand.

Kind of curious. I have a test account on Bluesky. I have it bridged and I am following it from my Mastodon account and vice versa. (Masto account is also bridged.) That had delays, but works. But none of my new posts on either end are showing after 25 minutes. Is this similar for other folks? (I am asking other people testing this out. Please ignore me Ryan. I know you are busy.)

$75000 is more like middle class than wealthy these days, but I hear you. I talk a lot of shit about the Democrats, but the alternative right now is fascism. So I'll hold my nose and vote for Biden, but I didn't like it.

It's okay for protests to be disruptive. Sometimes things need to be disrupted. Movements should prepare protesters who are planning being disruptive by breaking the law to be arrested. Sometimes that's the point, to make people with power abuse it, to show everybody who they are. Worked for MLK.

Old people voted Trump into office, not young people. I find most people to be suspectable to being manipulated, but young people don't seem to be more susceptible than old people.
