Yeah Walz is the kind of person I really want up there. It’s not just that he’s liberal(as far as our country’s standards go) but also the fact that he has a great track record on delivery.
I’d still vote anyways to keep DT out but you know how it is. It’s hard to be excited given how it feels that the Dems have a habit of wiggling their way out of delivering on important issues.
While you’re probably right, there really isn’t a better choice here. It is what it is.
Thank you. This really is just asking to pour gasoline on the fire.
I don’t think this is something that will benefit us in the long term, regardless of how funny it is right now.
Meanwhile next door Iraq is attempting to lower the marriage age to 9.
Yeah fuck religion.
Yeah I feel the same. There’s just a lot of ways this could turn out.
The polls could be inaccurate or we could have issues with turnout. It’s great to see the Dems being as popular as they are on socials right now but it makes me anxious that this could just be a trend that doesn’t lead into voter participation.

What do you want them to do besides increasing security?
No one wants to vindicate the guy by preemptively taking action against him for the uprisings that haven’t yet occurred even if we’re absolutely certain that they will in fact happen.
Biden is retiring after this term. Even though he has the power and can offer valid reason for enacting an official act against Trump I don’t think he wants to be responsible for sparking any sort of conflict or be known for it after he retires. The man has done a lot already, this isn’t a burden that falls squarely on his shoulders. It’s our burden as a country.

We need an entire legal reform but right now we really need to focus on the SC since that’s where the most damning issues lie with the nation as a whole.
I hate how true this is.
What’s worse is that many of the people who didn’t fall into that trap have been waiting to responsibly have children later, which I also don’t want. Finding anyone down here that is interested in being child free down here is a challenge and finding someone who doesn’t expect to have a busy life to make up for it is even more difficult.
I’m shocked at how incompetent a public speaker he is.
Such is the way of authoritarian regimes.
Being a part of the GOP when Trump took over really came down to just agreeing with the man blindly and letting him treat you how he pleased. Trump can’t stand to share the spotlight with anyone else meaning people in the GOP most likely aren’t getting any experience as most of them share their big moments with the orange man who takes over immediately.
Most of these people have no personality outside of supporting Trump and they aren’t capable of much either because they would make Trump nervous.
Biden already made an admission that he knows these issues are going to occur.
Acknowledgement and action are different though. I assume that we’re going to fuck around and find out because no one wants to get confrontational with the Republicans over it.
Can people give it a rest already? I don’t know why Lemmy users feel this need to get upset at people for doing what they want/need them to do.
Yeah, perhaps people should show more interest in being informed in current politics but at this point just take the W. The last thing we need right now is for blue voters to start pushing other people away from voting blue due to their attitudes.
For those of you who already understood the stakes surely you also understand that now is not the time to be dividing Kamala’s supporters over petty feelings like this.
It’s a shitposting meme. The poster has this pinned on their twitter:
That said… I have heard horror stories about poor theater staff finding cucumbers after the 50 shades premiere. Some of it was just people memeing and trying to prank but I’m not entirely sure about all of it.
I’m not complaining but I’m genuinely wondering if the dnc has been holding this woman back. I feel like I haven’t seen this fire coming from her before and I’m loving it.
Couldn’t agree more and his words on the matter were really touching.
I just hope the party as a whole can keep this up. I have never felt like the party cared more about being in touch with the people than it does now.
There are merits for it and against it. My biggest concerns would be privacy regarding data scrapers .
Regarding poor behavior, I really think that ultimately comes down to moderation on the platform. I’ve only had a few poor experiences but I am also someone who sometimes sees certain threads as dumpster fires and refrains from joining in or refrains from responding when I feel there isn’t any form of discussion or chatter to be had. I can understand that it likely happens more often than not but I also believe that moderation is the only reasonable way of curbing it. Moderation teams have to make it clear that the behavior is not welcome and that it will be dealt with.
