Not sure if they’re aware, but the Balmer Peak occurs at a fairly specific BAC/intoxication level, and output quality drops off significantly after that point.

A Trump victory would likely lead to the US departing NATO, stepping back from a LOT of agreements with a LOT of allies, and essentially put the US into an isolationist mode, which would be idiotic in a lot of ways, for a lot of reasons.

I, too, disagree (quite strongly, I should add) with her stance on the Gaza Genocide. And I will still vote for her, because as bad as her stance is, it’s also not “let’s send a few squadrons of B-52s to pound it into grade #7 gravel and then we can break ground on Trump Tower Gaza that Bibi is gonna give me a sweet tax break on”.
Genuinely, the only conclusion I can draw from people who are pushing the “don’t vote for Kamala because of Gaza” narrative is that they are some combination of bad faith actors, or complete idiots who do not understand how our government works, nor how completely fucked and corrupted by money our electoral system is (and the chilling effect that that has on otherwise-reasonable and good policies).
