Ultimately I believe you can't claim to be an activist if you are promoting inaction.

If voting doesn't matter then vote and do more. Doing less to change things is functionally conservative no matter how you spin it.

This would he concerning if I wasn't convince that Walz would sit him down and correct him like a disappointed father.

If anyone could make a politician seem like a child to their face it'd be him, and especially if that politician is Vance.

Humans have advanced far but hardly changed.

Hopefully the loopholes of executive power that enabled that crackpot plan will be closed up by then...

Yeah I know, a lot to ask for.

It was, infact, not all good there.

From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.

So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.

I have the hope that she'll end up being more progressive after votes are counted.

Partially because she has Walz which is a good sign, but mostly I'm hoping for hopes sake. 🤞

This is dumb, I deeply love it.

Good lord the discourse here is about as well as the man or bear discussions.

Something I notice is how everytime someone makes these kinds of criticisms, the counterarguments turn into a pit of semantics and extropolations. As if the original post was a massive research thesis rather than just women venting frustration over the entitlement and danger they're subjected to daily.

You gotta look past the specific wording to see the overarching societal themes, emotions, and issues. It's like those magic eye pictures.

When you want to be like Putin so badly you adopt his leadership style:

While watching the debate it was funny watching Trump say she'll end fracking like that's a bad thing (though even with green energy, I do admit we'd still need it for plastic).

I joked "next he'll attack her by saying she'll drive up green energy" then he literally did. Said she'd return to windmills and dare to use desert land for solar panels, oh the humanity xD.

I wonder if it's because, regardless of being rich and famous, he can't coerce a pop star like Taylor, he's not that rich or famous.

She's unattainable, and for a narcissist that's irresistible.
