A memo circulating in Donald Trump’s orbit says that if elected he should use private firms to check appointees’ backgrounds and give them immediate access to classified secrets after taking office.
This is exactly what you’d do if your circle was filled with Russian agents.
American and want to stop this? Vote for Harris & volunteer for her campaign
It is really scary how close the race is and how far he is in the lead with a lot of polls.
People out here talking about sitting this one out or throwing a protest vote out for a third party. I’m just shaking my head.
These people seem to think if they don’t vote, the Democrats will face some kind of reckoning because the voters are not “endorsing” them. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work or what anyone is then supposed to do about it under a fascist dictatorship. In fact, it’s so obviously nonsense that you have to wonder whether these people have other motives that they’re not stating.
It’s be the end all be all “leopards ate my face” moment.
What if I told you it benefits the media companies (mostly run by Republican supporters) if it always looks like it’s neck and neck. It doesn’t actually get the right voters out.
Fuck what the media says the count is, just vote ppl
It really depends which state they vote from, and which side they vote for.
If you’re a democrat in idaho…why even bother? The electoral college at that point insures that if you vote for a democrat, your vote doesn’t matter.
However, if you vote 3rd party it sends the message that you KNOW your vote doesn’t matter, and the system is broken.
Now, if you’re in a swing state, or even a state that could be a swing state, then you’re just an asshole if you vote 3rd party.
As we’ve recently found out in the last few years, conservative bastions are not as solidly red as we believe. If you’re a Democrat in Idaho, fucking vote Democratic. It matters.
Absolutely, I’m in Texas, which is considered a slam dunk for the GOP. I still voted for Allred and for Harris. If there’s a chance to get rid of Ted Cruz, I’m not going to risk it.
And of course, flipping Texas Blue in the presidential election would be a major coup. It’s unlikely, but not impossible, if the voter turnout is high enough.
Honestly, if you guys could manage to kick Ted Cruz out, that alone would be a major win.
I honestly don’t understand how he’s so popular even among Republicans. He’s a coward and the worst kind of political opportunist who is more concerned with his own image than helping Texans.
I’m doing everything that I can to get out the vote in Texas and encouraging people to vote early. With the gerrymandered districts here it’s tough to make a real change, but when it comes to the Senate every vote counts.
I have relatives. They don’t believe Jan 6 was an insurrection. They’re saying Kamala is only there because she sucked her way to the top. They’re constantly talking about trans. And that litter boxes in schools thing. They think any defense if Hamas or anyone associated with them is deranged, that Israel wants to be left alone and no one will leave them alone and that’s why they’re doing what they’re doing. That we should spend the Ukraine money domestically, stop finding them. That gas prices and food prices and house prices and health care prices are Biden’s fault. And that liberals talk down to them and should thus get punched. Replacement theory. Oh, and guns.
That prices will somehow go down to pre-2020 if trump is back. No, really. Return of trump means return to pricing in the 2016-2020 zone. I’m not joking, these guys really believe that. I can define inflation all day and it doesn’t matter, no sway on that one. So that, in part, is what they’re voting for, a return of pre 2020 pricing.
Local matters right now, big time. Getting in those reps in the legislature and possibly the senate.
Florida was damn close in 2016. So don’t count yourself out for both, there. I think part of the problem there might be snowbirds, but will they even be going this year?
None of us know. So just vote.
