Not to say that everyone that votes for Trump is a Nazi, but we do know who the Nazis are voting for.

I would volunteer for a campaign (or even just donate) in a heartbeat... but it's unethical... I'm one of our nation's poor, underpaid and overworked local news media staffers. To be clear, I'm not a journalist, but the rules preventing any appearance of impropriety apply to me as well. I can't give up my job to work pro bono on campaigns (and it's dubious for me to donate). I can't have the journalists I work with appear to have any kind of hand on this (or any) election.

I beg you, please vote for Harris/Walz... that's my personal opinion which does not reflect the stance or opinions of my employer or any of our clients/sponsors... which include the Donald Trump for President 2024 campaign and it's affiliated PAC's (honestly it's wild having the fucking Trump campaign being both the reason I cannot but barely afford my bills and the thing getting me close to paying them). Seriously, the years 2016 to 2020 were a living hell for us working in local news. Fear of constant threats if we depicted "dear leader" in any light other than brilliant magnificence. How dare we report on the things Trump said and did if it looked bad in any way. Seriously... it was the most stressed I've been in my entire life and I'm a queer atheist living in the deep south. Also, no, I'm not moving... all my stuff and most of my friends are here.
