The same people (media, politicians) who pushed the narrative, gaslit, and lied that Joe Biden was well, and cognitively sharp are the exact same people pushing the narrative, gaslighting, and lying about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The same people who lied about Donald Trump for eight years. You made your bed. Please can you say something that doesn’t sound like a Maga catchphrase

Kamala was right to be annoyed when she was disrupted by the protesters. But she should have taken a minute or two of her time to hear them out and respond. Protesting a genocide, whether you believe it's a genocide or not is irrelevant. If people believe it is happening and want to raise awareness, then those efforts shouldn't be so easily dismissed. Genocide is more important than a campaign speech, as aggravating as it may be to be interrupted in the moment. But the point of protesting is to inconvenience and aggravate. So people see the message and can't look away so easily. This was her opportunity to shine a light on the horrors going on in Gaza. An issue the majority of Americans are concerned with. This was her chance to assure the majority of Americans that she, as president would fight to make sure American tax dollars aren't funding Israeli war crimes at the very least. She could have promised to seek out real solutions toward ending the bloodshed. Instead, she chose to dismiss them and their cause. This was Harris first campaign blunder. I agree. Apparently she even said "You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that, otherwise I'm speaking." Not the best look.

Almost 3 weeks in and Harris still hasn't fielded questions from the media ("might" be ready to do so by end August, apparently). I don't think we have any actual policy announcements either.
Quite incredible.
This election will essentially be a referendum on Donald Trump. The Democrats could field a corpse and the result would be unchanged.

Education in the U.S is seriously wanting. I just had an argument with someone whose position was basically "Civil disobedience is rude and annoying, therefore it's a bad way to protest." (Referencing Kamala Harris's disrupted speech)
Some obvious examples where civil disobedience was massively effective at achieving change? ... Civil Rights and ending Vietnam ... Expecting a thoughtful reply from them ... receive *crickets* instead.

It's pointless talking to Beady about politics. It's tribalism, nothing else, and it will never be anything other than that to him.

CNN recently released an article on how to win an election in 8 steps:
Step 1: Secure the keys Step 2: Ascend from darkness Step 3: Rain fire Step 4: Unleash the horde Step 5: Skewer the winged beast Step 6: Wield a fist of iron Step 7: Raise hell Step 8: Freedom

I get confused and angry watching the socialist candidates. I like simple. All of my problems in life are because of people who look different to me. It's easy to comprehend and I have a visible target for my frustration. Trump tells it like it is, the US is going to hell and it's all because of millions of illegals crossing the border and raping and corrupting our women and children. In 2016 Trump made America great again but the election in 2020 was stolen because the child's blood drinking alien lizard people from the new world order shadow government put out fake news stories to support crooked Joe because Trump cut off their supply of adrenachrome and kept our children safe so they stole the election to feed their childs blood addiction but Trump really won because god sent him to make America great again.
..... Seriously though. Remember when the right wing used to basically be libertarians with some slightly dodgy religious views? I never agreed with them but at least you could have a rational debate. Nowdays they're like a brainwashed, angry fucking cult. I really wish people could see the media orchestrated culture war for what it is, a way to get ordinary people to fight over inconsequential nonsense. Nowdays it's not democratic right v democratic left anymore, it's authoritarian right v slightly left of center but still democratic left in the political space which is more important than the online discourse thats fueled by the culture war. Yeah Marvel and Star Wars are pushing female leads and the rights of LGBTQ+ people are in mainstream conversation. So fucking what. Even if you don't agree it doesn't affect you in the slightest. That's no reason to vote for a wannabe dictator with authoritarian leanings just because he gives you easy answers and a section of your societal peers to blame. As has been said before that's what Hitler did. Trump isn't Hitler but he's reading from the exact same playbook.
