Is there a person alive on this planet now with a so called “spotless” record? OP, are you of all the major decisions Kamala has made and you agree with them?
hmm. why am I voting for Harris. let me count the ways:
-
she’s got30 felonies less that what’s his face.
-
no bribery
-
no fraud
-
no racketeering,
-
no sexual assault
-
isnt Putin’s bitch
-
she trusts science
-
doesn’t mock disabled reporters on live TV
-
isn’t planning on appointing her unqualified family to the government
-
she isn’t running only to stay out of prison
-
she isn’t married to a Slovenian escort
-
she isn’t copying Hitler
-
her running mate never said she’s hitler
• Never got accused of running any scam businesses.
-
Already voted for Harris. Your argument is invalid.
Go cry about it.
In fact, I might just go vote again!
I might not leave the country, but I’ll have to leave my state. I wonder if next Friday after work I’ll need to load up everything I can fit in my car and drive as far north as possible. It’s terrifying that my rights as a transgender human vanish will vanish overnight where I live. I’ve heard of bounties in Odessa.
Knowing that most of the people I live and work around are happily voting for a child rapist has broken my brain. The folks protesting at the Planned Parenthood (abortion is already illegal here) are going to vote for a man that’s probably paid for multiple abortions. It’s a sickness I can’t fathom.
It’s optimistic of you to assume we’ll know the outcome by next Friday. Republicans are going to turn the whole election into a circus if they possibly can.
fully agree. hope you don’t have to move… but for some miraculous incomprehensible reason the race is a statistical tie
It’s so bizarre that it’s a warzone but just for the category you’re in. For now, anyway. Ugh.
❤️
Its sickening what is happening to this country, that you even feel the need to flee in such a way, but it is a realistic concern. There are people who very much want carte blanche to harm trans people, and if Trump is elected they may get that cover, its vile.
replace undecided voters with antisemites, and you’ll have this meme dialed in
Say it with me now!
CRITICIZING 👏 THE 👏 ISRAELI 👏 GOVERNMENT 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 CRITICIZING 👏THE 👏 JEWISH 👏 PEOPLE. THEY 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 A 👏 BORG 👏 HIVEMIND.
Yeah, well, I’ll stop calling out antisemitism when people stop being antisemitic. There are a lot of antisemitic tropes floating around right now where “Jew” is just subbed out for “Zionist”, and people seem oblivious to the nuances between Judaism and Zionism.
Actual criticism of Zionism as a political philosophy is obviously more than welcome, but there are way too many “Zionists control the world and are subhuman” folks out there seemingly immune to criticism in left-leaning spaces because as long as they proxy their antisemitism through the lens of anti-Zionism, the left will reflexively defend them.
The fact that, here on Lemmy, every non-Arab man, woman, and child living in Israel are regularly spoken of as if they are foreign invaders that need to be mass-deported or worse should be enough of a warning sign that at least some anti-Zionists don’t actually have their sites set on Zionism, but rather the destruction of Israel and the displacement/destruction of it’s people, representing 50% of the Jews on Earth.
BORG HIVEMIND.
Missed opportunity to say BERG HIVEMIND.
Just saving it for you.
Found the ‘but genocide’ guy…
You guys are so deep in blue Maga that you can’t even tell the person you’re replying to is pro genocide.
Um… Maybe reread that. Their stance is literally the opposite
No, it isn’t, go read their comment history.
They are just reactionary at this point and basically foaming at the mouth with the rabid thoughts of all the people that are wrong and easy to point at for being so, even if they are completely wrong and missing the point. Basically the same level of fear mongering but theirs is acceptable.
Perhaps, but they’ve been accusing everyone who fights again the genocide of being antisemitic for month on end now. Their position on the issue couldn’t be clearer, and it is the opposite of what y’all are claiming.
You mean the Russian asset
An ode to the increasingly large gap in education within the US. You reap what you sow, and that lack of worker rights and education along with the promotion and celebration of extreme competition is showing. Not that it isn’t costly, a good education doesn’t even seem to last a generation nowadays.
Ignoring everything else here prosecutor is a net negative and “Felon” isn’t a bad thing necessarily. If you want to you can criticize Trump without propping up law enforcement.
Okay but in this case, felon is a bad thing because the crimes trump has been convicted of are serious offenses that should make him ineligible to even be president.
trump wasn’t convicted on 1 or 2 charges that were pushed on him by racist fascist pigs. He is the racist fascist pig. Who was convicted of scores of felonies.
It is a bad thing. Necessarily.
Yes trumps crimes were bad no argument from me. It’s just so many of these felon vs prosecutor memes and similar things really play into demonization of “felons” as a whole.
To be faiiiiiir
Left out rapist under Trump’s “accomplishments”
I didn’t follow as closely. was he convicted of rape? I know he was accused. given his track record im 100% sure he’s guilty of everything. but I thought he managed to settle and weasel his way out so he’s not officially convicted as a rapist…
He was found guilty of sexual assault.
that’s what I thought. he dodged the rape charge. if he was convicted of rape he would certainly have been sentenced, served time in prison, and be on the sex offender registry.
regardless, hopefully in a week we never have to think about him again
Whether or not he was convicted, it’s a fact that he is a rapist.
It won’t end after the polls close. The MAGA cult has been setting the stage to fight any results they don’t like which will certainly create a large amount of time until the results are fully certified.
According to judge Kaplan, he did, in fact, rape her: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045.212.0.pdf
He raped his exwife, it was in their divorce filings. He did it as revenge for his hair plug surgery going badly.
Is that not included in felon?
Not all felons are rapists not has he ever been actually criminally convicted of the crime of rape, so no.
…and then, all of a sudden, Democrats started loving overzealous DAs who would do anything to put black men in prison.
Are these “Democrats” in the room with you right now?
Are these the same “Democrats” that faked Obama’s birth certificate?
Are these “Democrats” turning the frogs gay?
Spotless record? Could you simp any harder?
Kamala has a crimal record?
If we lived in a just country she would.
Four more days. And then another year? Maybe ten?
It’s exhausting.
Virginian here. It’s every year for us. State positions are in the odd years.
Apparently you’re a nazi if you vote for either, so you should just not vote
- totally not an astroturfer
They still need more information, probably about her emails because they are so far behind on political news.
Virtual tie 😩
So frustrating
My Mexican immigrant coworker believes that if Kamala gets elected that immigrants will be deported but also immigrants are getting too much free money and food stamps and things like that. He really has bought into some kind of weird belief that Donald Trump is a better candidate. He can’t vote because he’s not a citizen. I think he’s just pissed off because he works two jobs and sees people who get free stuff and don’t come here legally as lazy.
The electoral college picks the president. Not you. You’re a “migrant” labeled “citizen”. You can influence the election if you happen to walk by an actual elector and get a chance to talk to him… Tell him about your student loans, your fear of putin, the homeless, you two jobs just to pay the mortgage, etc. they’ll understand and vote the way you would vote if you were an actual elector… don’t you worry migrant!
Yey! Democracy!
Trying to combine immigrants in your first sentence is so disingenuous. Here’s what makes it clear:
Legal Immigrants are different than illegal immigrants. Of course your coworker is pissed off that he’s come here legally and is not getting rewarded for it. Whether the ones who come illegally are lazy or not doesn’t make a difference. They shouldn’t be given anything we currently give them. We have veterans dying in the streets getting nothing. Everyone should be mad about it.
Out of the only two options on the ballot that have any chance of winning, which side shits on the veterans dying in the streets and which side tries to help them?
What you’re saying is not precisely true. To register for food stamps, well, you need to be registered. Likewise for other forms of welfare.
Illegal immigrants are not coming to this country and living off of welfare. That is not happening.
But even if it was, are you seriously going to tell me that the solution to that is to kick those immigrants out? To round them up in camps? That’s not going to help homeless veterans.
People like you will either believe in stupid arguments or talk in bad faith, and then not actually support welfare or UBI at all.
Illegal immigrants aren’t getting money and services through our usual welfare program, but nice try implying that’s what we’re claiming.
And yes, kick out the ones here illegally. Not sure where you’re getting camps from, just move them out. Then we need to redirect sources to Americans that need it and we need to make sure those are being spent properly and not disappearing into bureaucratic pockets.
You do realize how just morally corrupt and insane that logic is right? We spend trillions as a country, you’re upset that immigrants might get something when our veterans program is still lacking. You are fighting over crumbs and upset at other crumb eaters instead of the elite being the ones only giving out crumbs. There are valid arguments and suggested tactics to help BOOST the economy with programs that can help veterans, immigrants, and includes social safety nets for all people. The distraction that “They’re Stealing Your Crumbs!tm” helps stop any progress and keeps the boogeyman so voters can be scared into submission.
We need immigrants to help a flailing economy thanks to the baby boomer population (immigrants help us economically!, it’s a statistical fact!). Immigrants also have lower crime rates than typical groups of people born here. Housing the homeless is cheaper than arresting them, ER visits (because no preemptive healthcare) are most expensive, ETC ETC. All the fear mongering is just lies, don’t believe the hatred and look into it yourself so you’re not spreading misinformation.

I just love how the political discourse went from “should we have healthcare for all? (circa 2016)”, to “they took our jobs! (circa southpark 2004)”.
Very well put
It takes resources to “round them up and kick them out.” Resources that could instead be spent on the Americans that need it.
not to be in support of trumb, but if someones records are spotless that is inherently suspicious to me. is she even allowed to run for president if she hasn’t visited a sex trafficker?
I can recognize a joke when I see one. Take my upvote.
Her record isn’t spotless, but when you compare someone to trump it might as well look spotless because the context of trump makes it look so clean
I’m not fully knowledgeable about her record since I have more pressing things to worry about rather than researching harris, but as a queer person, I am aware of some of her shortcomings regarding queer rights.
She has explicitly tried to prevent trans people from receiving gender affirming care when in prison and challenged a ruling in favor of a transwoman to do so.
She also supported trans women in men’s prisons which is an extra horrific experience for a trans person, since queer people are generally more likely to be assaulted, raped, and sexually assaulted in prison. Trans women in men’s prisons have it the worst.
This happened in the past, but with her not explicitly making trans rights a campaign issue in the face of how much discrimination they are currently facing, it is concerning.
thank you for pointing out some of her flaws, I find it appalling that she would not want people to continue medical treatment for a condition that is corelated with suicide while in prison. Where trans people should be located in prison is a difficult question, I think making gender neutral prisons that don’t have convenient places for rape to occur (make all bathrooms be unisex, increase surveillance of employees, eliminate for profit prisons) would probably be the best method, but idk. On the bright side she isn’t trump.
