Gov. Tim Walz doesn't own a single stock
Okay yeah I'm super happy that Harris replaced Biden on the ticket and everything, but the more I learn about this guy the more I want him to be actual president. VP's certainly a good compromise for the circunstances though!

GOP pollster on Trump-Harris: ‘I haven’t seen anything like this’
The issues and the conditions favor Donald Trump.
I'm sorry, what issues are those? Abortion? Livable wages? Climate change? Corporate greed? Social safety nets? Or is the assumption still "R= good economy"

Former Trump voter: Trump is ‘lying about pretty much everything’
Guys, I know how easy it is to say "lol what a dumbass" about people like this, but as someone who grew up rural it's really hard to express the effect of being completely surrounded by a culture that is still suffering from a generational grief of having industry take their resources and destroy their land, only to then take the jobs away and completely abandon everyone to poverty. Years and years of politicians making promises that never came to pass, or never actually helped those people. Republican talking heads like Fox news took advantage of that and pretended to sympathise with their angst, while riling them up by drip feeding other bits of moral outrage, and just magnified the distrust of "city liberals" and "costal elites" over the course of generations. And we all know about the poor education in rural areas!
No matter how much democrats could tell them what votes are in their best interest, it's really no wonder they wouldn't believe them. Imagine if War of the Worlds actually happened, then 50 years later a martian showed up and told you that you earthings really need to implement this financial system called gronsnockle and it would make your lives so much better (and also that you're just a stupid earthling dumbass who doesn't know what's best for you).
If Donald Trump's bullshit is making cracks in the armor that Murdoch and the Nixon legacy has spent so long shoring up, we should be encouraging that. Does anyone really think that insulting people who are trying to change, is a good way to make more people change??

Toyota Mirai Turned Into Hydrogen Bomb By Ukrainian Forces Explodes With The Force Of 400 Pounds Of TNT
Toyota should add "can become a mini-nuke" to their sales pitch. I'm sure they'll get at least half of NCD with that alone.

How do they still have money
I know the sanctions weren't as effective as hoped, and they're still selling gas to China, but like seriously how do they still have money

In a Trump win, economists see revived inflation and a more wary Fed
Took me a moment to realize the title meant "if trump wins" as opposed to "wow this is great for trump"

Honestly I wasn't going to either (because I prefer to directly donate) but when I saw that amrican/union-made label I instantly went for it. I am a sucker for American manufactured goods.

The Cabbage Continues to Haunt Liz Truss
If you have the audacity to write a book with such a grand title as "Ten Years to Save the West" then you shouldn't have been in a position that a cabbage banner sporting a single factual statement can undermine you like that in the first place

I like how the one lady tried to flip the "weird" label onto it and failed so spectacularly she had to delete it because it turns out normal people don't think it's weird for guys to cry or to love your parents.

I also remember when Obama was about to leave office and McConnel blocked his SCOTUS nomination because of it, then when Trump was about to leave office with less time left bent over backwards to get his SCOTUS nomination passed.

GOP Senate candidate loses it & posts explicit videos after being called "weird"
Reply in thread
I think it's because instead of being a "taboo" category, which is inherently a powerful word that a certain kind of person just thrives on, it's just really dismissive which completely takes the wind out of their sails lmao.
Like, if it's taboo, they can at least convince themselves that there's a silent majority out there who agree with them but are too afraid to say it, and they're "strong and couragous" for fighting against these "oppressive social cages" or whatever, but nah man they're just fuckin weird and nobidy likes them.

‘Haley Voters for Harris’ PAC Ramps Up Kamala Support After Cease and Desist
Reply in thread
She completely doesn't understand that her entire appeal was that she wasn't a geriatric man and/or dictator-wanabee, not because people really agreed with her stances as a whole. Now we have another candidate who also fits that bill, but way more popular with the population at large, as evidenced by her insane donations rate.
