I clicked on the tweet and I think that's St. Michelle. Boobs
and nipples poppin' and quite pretty in the face...

But good golly, Trump summoning the saints with prayer. If
anyone buys that they deserve what's coming to them.

The Verizon pic reminds me of when Eddie Albert used to

It's the 'imperfect vessel' theory of Christianity. Essentially, 'Yeah he cheats on his third wife with a porn star, but he's against abortion'. He tells them what they want to hear and laughs at them behind their backs.

What a bunch of suckers. The deranged lunatic believes in God as much as I do. I'll give him that much credit.

It’s crazy right. It’s the most obvious con job in the world, yet 40% of the voting population gobbles it up.

I cannot fathom, however, how the independent voter could possibly remain undecided.

Like, gosh, on the one hand the cost of eggs might go up 35 cents a dozen, and good gravy there might be a “boy” on some college girls volleyball team somewhere that does well and wins some games. On the other hand, I could be voting for a person who has yet to say one true thing and is also lining his fucking pockets at the expense of my country. How do I even choose?

I don't get it either, and many decent people I know in real life fall for it, I am hopeful that not enough independent voters fall for it this time

THERE ARE NO UNDECIDED VOTERS!

There are only people who are still deciding whether they're going to vote at all. Nobody is undecided about Donald Trump at this point- you either love him or hate him. Anyone who says they're undecided is lying. There are, however, about 100 million people in this country who won't vote.

That "boy on a girls' college volleyball team" thing can get folks agitated enough to get prioritized pretty highly, and based on my social media feed, it's a big lever in fake news posted from offshore troll farms.

When you're old and alienated (a direction we are all headed in and/or having reached), distrusting the world being changed by the generations behind you and threatening purity of the little girls in your tribe is a real ingrained instinct. It's the same thing that makes our nation ever less rational when it comes to immigration. And bathrooms, for that matter. An utterly ancient part of our brain is like, "Oh, FUCK no."

This is correct. It's likely they are closeted supporters of one or the other.

Excellent. Make sure all your friends and relatives do the same!

I ordered mail-in ballots for both KB and I yesterday online. I'm
sure no one needs this but in case they want to send it to someone
or whatever it's here: https://elections.ny.gov/request-ballot

KC: Not enrolled in a party
KB: Other (Women's Equality)

If that make us weird or offensive to anyone just block me here and
unfriend me on every other platform where our paths may cross.

People unenthused about voting for status quo, hard to say why. hmm...

campaigning with republicans...

both-sides this stuff while students, new voters, are continually punished for 'speaking' up.

I think Harris is pretty clear-eyed about Liz Cheney's beliefs and history. She's also willing to accept her endorsement knowing that Cheney's only doing it because she hates Trump. You take the help as it's given.

There's a pretty clear choice here. If 100 million people choose to sit it out, they don't get to complain. But complain they will, regardless of who wins. As for the status quo, well, there are no unicorns in a two-party system. Maybe if the Republican party crashes and burns for a couple of cycles, maybe a new party can rise from the ashes, one more sensible and not a cult of personality.

It's not a two-party system. We just pretend it is, by tradition, for no good reason, to our detriment.

I don't need a unicorn, and I don't ask for one.

Election Day is 30 days away and every single reputable poll sez that the deranged madman can win it.

I guess that everybody in America owns a corporation that's big enough to be listed on NASDAQ. This country has lost its mind. If Hitler was a Republican, they'd vote for Hitler, just the same.
