  • Well that’s a shit way to put it.

    Biden was an ok choice and he was still polling strong. Him deciding to abstain from the final run doesn’t mean he was a bad choice, not does it make any of your analysis correct.

    Also: You’re still a doomsaying asshole. Not once did you make a reasonable argument supported by data other than your feelings but you continued to push out “If we keep behind a president who has arguably been extremely effective at doing shit, we’re handing the election to the guys who eat horse paste and spent double Bidens addition to the deficit for tax breaks while screaming about fiscal responsibility… because he’s a couple years older than the other guy and seems like he’s old instead of spouting gibberish and easily proven lies”.


  • With Kamala now the democratic nominee?

    I’m not a big fan of former law enforcement (prosecutor at least) being in charge but everything else she’s done seems to at least suggest that she takes her jobs seriously along with the responsibility they entail.

    I’m waiting to see who the VP is before I get too gung ho, but so far I’m pretty on board.

    I don’t know exactly why Biden waited so long to decide not to run again but I am happy he provided a good bit of shielding and wasted a ton of the GOP’s money on attack ads that can almost be mirrored for free against their nominee.

    I think we’re gonna see some really ugly rhetoric from the right over her being the nominee and that doesn’t make me jazzed. I worry that it will spark another rise in anti immigrant/minority rhetoric and violence like the BS about COVID did, and I work in and among minority groups so I worry what it will do to their outlooks on their future and how they feel about the country they are a part of.

    Any specific aspect you want to ask me about or is that just a generic response request?








  • Did you read that article? It states that her opponents said she was at fault, however neither the police who ran the lab nor the levels of associates in between her and the police lab informed her of the problem. When she did get the news, she took time to figure out if it was true and then dismissed 1000 cases that could have been tainted by that action, and took responsibility for not putting a written document in place about how to do something that was legally required and which the crime lab or the associates in between could also be legally required to do.

    It doesn’t point to being a corrupt attorney, it points to a failure in several rungs of responsibility below her which it made clear she wasn’t informed of (she wasn’t cc’d on any email discussing the unreliability of the crime lab worker). She dealt with the problem when it was clear it was the crime lab/prosecution at fault and took overall responsibility for not having a specific memo saying how they prosecutors we’re supposed to uphold their legally binding duty to inform.

    That’s the system fucking up and the person at the top doing damage control and their job. Again, not evidence of corruption unless you only read the title and first paragraph where surprisingly the prosecutors in charge of those cases didn’t get named or shamed, because it was politically expedient to hit the person at the top.



  • It’s not “immigrants should stay out because they bring disease”, it’s “we have a pandemic and our immigration centers are packed which makes it more likely that people immigrating catch something that’s already here or that someone brings with them, causing a further strain on already strained medical staff and resources that would lead to further deaths”

    It’s not pretty but it had nothing to do with “immigrants are bringing disease” unless you were watching exclusively conservative media.

    In light of the first one, where is evidence that the people she kept in prison were innocent of all charges and that they were being kept due to her wishes as prosecutor and not the slow nature of our judicial system considering judge appointments were being choked until conservatives held positions to ensure a massive wave of conservative judges filled those roles?
    Where is the evidence that those jailed were exclusively black to support your claim that she hates all black people?

    And where is the evidence that you need a full year and a half of campaigning for someone who has current governing experience as part of the current party and is literally the second in line for president should anything bad happen to the current president? Why is four months too short when it has deprived the main opposition with a ton of financial resources in now-ineffective campaigning against someone no longer running and a short time to pivot to something about the new candidate?

    Any evidence at all or still just your beliefs leading to your assumptions?
