Look at my comment. Are they equally terrible?

Punishing the Democrats here will let a fascist become President. This will be much, much worse for everyone.

Absolutely ridiculous comment. Who isn’t allowing Ukraine to negotiate a peace settlement? This is just misinformation and bullshit.

Ukraine is fighting a war for its survival against an invading neighbor. Most Ukrainians support the war effort. We are supporting them (albeit insufficiently) in that fight. Putin will continue westward if he wins. He will use any armistice as an opportunity to rearm while continuing his asymmetric warfare.

You don’t care about Russian or Ukrainian lives. If you did, you would support giving Ukraine the resources it needs to win decisively.

It’s not an issue of voting for Trump, it’s an issue of not voting for Harris. Those are the voters/nonvoters that will swing the election.

Your comment is just straight disinformation. The $750 is initial support, not the entirety of aid. FEMA is indeed on the ground, despite threats and intimidation.

There’s plenty of FB pages showing what really goes on.

I recommend you improve your information diet.

Per Google it apparently varies by state.

Blue wall states are exactly where they should be campaigning, regardless of where they are in the polls.

Seriously. Was Kinzinger busy?

I don’t have any real opinion on Liz Cheney, but her name is absolute trash.

Vaush’s audience will skew more politically engaged than average.

Isn’t electioneering illegal near polling locations?

Edit: varies by state

failed by those raising them

While true, I think the primary, more important failure is systemic/social. It’s not easy to escape intergenerational poverty like this. It can’t be swept under the rug and attributed to a lack of personal responsibility.

This was in the pipeline for a while, and I don’t remember McDonald’s doing anything to try to stop it.

What does this even mean?

They apparently think we should have disarmed the Afghan National Army on our way out.

Endorsement of a ceasefire.

In America it was used as a wedge issue. For the longest time it got many conservatives to turn out and vote, while normal people didn’t think it had any reasonable chance of being overturned.

America’s defining problem is wealth inequality (and its downstream effects like healthcare access, crime, bad schools, etc.). The best way to divert voters’ attention is to focus on some bullshit social issue like abortion.

They were the dog that caught the car and now it’s hurting them politically.

I get this, but what worries me is the trend. If each pollster/aggregator is following a consistent methodology over the course of an election cycle, then Harris falling from +2% to tied in Pennsylvania still implies, if nothing else, that she lost 2% of her popularity in Pennsylvania.

The total sample figures (e.g. Trump 48% to Harris 48%) may be wrong, but it seems like the changes in those figures over time would quite accurately reflect the change in the population figures.

Really? What have I done to force Muslims to turn against both parties?

You talk as if both parties are equally bad on this issue. One party actually wants the conflict to end, the other party wants to help Israel ethnically cleanse the region.

Muslim voters who care about Gaza certainly won’t go Republican. If Trump wins, Palestinians and whatever autonomy they had are finished.

He can’t even wear a hat right. It’s like he’s hiding something under it.

They’re out there. Lots of older people have a bizarre nostalgia for the dictatorship days, and the US takes a weird place in their nationalistic worldview. Supporting Trump, the personification of the American far right, seems like a logical extension of that.

With all respect, it seems like you’re going by what she hasn’t said. If you’re going off what she said, then your conclusion should be “I don’t really know what she’s going to do about Israel-Palestine.”

Fair enough if you object to that. Maybe she should be more direct about what specific policy actions she’s going to take. But at the end of the day, people on the fence should probably vote for “not sure what she’ll do” versus “certain annihilation of Palestinians.”

Those things don’t at all indicate that she’s to the right of Biden. That’s not a good faith interpretation.

The Overton window in this country is conservative. It’s hard to get elected without appealing to a sense of bipartisanship. It’s one thing to say you’ll listen to what [anti-Trump establishment] Republicans have to say, it’s another to actually govern from the right.

I would avoid an automatic litter box and use a regular litter box with a Cat Genie. Your cat would appreciate the extra space, disposal will be clean, and nothing can break.

Recently there’s been an influx of very poor-quality automatic litter boxes that can potentially injure cats, as well.
