  • Kamala Harris polls 20 points ahead of Trump in voters age 18-34

    Jump

  • She's a lot more borderline on the issue than Biden. Her speech in December-ish was fairly critical of Israel's behavior up to that point and she called for a ceasefire pretty early on in comparison to others in the admin. She also normally would have presided over the speech Netanyahu gave this week, but chose not to. Is it enough? No, not really, but she's the VP and effectively a figurehead. I think it bodes well for at least a small shift in stance if she makes it in though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

  • Agreed, I would like to have seen some statements on Netanyahu's many falsehoods in the speech. That's not generally going to be done via press release though and I doubt she would overstep the current president on criticizing foreign leaders.

  • The question was centered on politics, so that's what I addressed. Harris is running a campaign, so she is also centered around politics right now. It sucks but it's how our world works right now.

  • In his attacks on the ‘childless’ left, JD Vance once hyped a plan to give parents more votes

  • So genuinely, how do you expect this to work? Am I supposed to just go upvote every dumb as shit opinion I read on the internet so everyone feels better?

  • They will be lightly affected by her denouncing some of the protestors (which is separate from supporting Israel and its genocide), yes. Remember that the Jewish voting bloc is also primarily democratic. If your concern is politics in this situation, it's a very fine line that Dem politicians have to walk here.

    Edit: I'm just gonna back out of this thread. I'm not supportive of the genocide, but yall also don't want to have an actual conversation.

  • Why would his opinion not be subject to critique from the hundreds of people who use this site? Don't post if you don't want your opinions to be scrutinized by the forum you're posting in.

  • Harris releases 1st campaign video, spends a few seconds targeting Trump legal woes

    Jump

  • There is absolutely nothing wrong with this title. It's not clickbait and it accurately describes the content. You're just upset you got caught out saying reactive, incorrect things about a video you didn't watch.

    Jump

  • It's nobody's fault but your own that you did not actually watch a video or read an article. Don't watch/read, don't comment. Easy. The title isn't deceptive just because it isn't a perfect TL;DR for lazy internet forum users.

    Mastodon users donate a quarter million dollars in 2 days for VP Harris

  • Are you under the impression that people donate money to politicians as an investment? For some of us, our sights are on yknow... not letting our country slide into a fascist state. My personal wealth is not as important as that.

  • Nearly 40K new voters registered in 48 hours after Biden’s exit

    Jump

  • Hey, stop focusing so much on "I told ya so" to people who are definitely on your side. I was torn on it as well, but out of consideration for the potential impact being unknown. Hindsight is 20/20 and we're all better served by not gloating if we were right and instead focusing on the future path we are now on. Let's just keep it positive and build this victory through positivity instead of potential fractures with people who likely agree with you on the issues.

  • Security Firm Discovers Remote Worker Is Really a North Korean Hacker

  • They didn't do one in this case, but I have heard stories of these sorts of malicious actors paying people stateside or elsewhere to take the video interviews. I've had to do ID checks on video in recent-ish interviews.

  • Democrats Need to Wake Up From Their ‘West Wing’ Fantasy

    Jump

  • I really agree with both of you here. While there was an article or two posted with the opposite narrative, the NYT used their editorial discretion in a fairly flagrant way on this issue. It stood in stark contrast to other issues that they have gone out of their way to keep a neutral stance on as an overall paper (which I applaud). I'm not opposed to the newsroom, editorial team, or contributing writers having a stance unlike mine. I'm not the type to say "fuck all the media" all the time and think they're generally diverse groups of professionals trying their best and sometimes failing. The fact that the NYT op-ed page and front page were just plastered in a single perspective though, without an opposing narrative, was just really blatant on this issue.

    I was one of those canceled subs. I canceled WaPo after their disastrous leadership developments too. I'm basically running on cables and international outlets now, which is a real shame because I like to read other perspectives presented well, which the op-ed teams at those agencies are capable of doing.

  • Nah, they're a bit smarter than that. If they want a change to the system, they play the existing system until they can change and warp it into their desired state. Maybe a lesson we could learn from given how successful it has been?

    Now, if the concern is "why hasn't anything worked to fully dismantle this plan", the answer is that it's a well-crafted (albeit evil) plan made over decades. It's not going to have Death Star exhaust ports for the right Democrat Skywalker to shoot a pulse into. It's going to take a concerted, unified, lengthy effort from politicians and the voters to defeat it. All good things do.

    The poster above gave you a great infographic and there are others online. The route forward involves us sharing with others, collaborating on strategic voting, and forming plans to help the vulnerable around us in the event that it comes to pass. It is stressful, but know you're sharing that with a ton of people right now.
