The convention’s final night aired across 15 television networks and drew about 820,000 more viewers than the estimated 25.4 million people who watched the final night of the Republican event, Nielsen reported.

    Her speech was 100% Nuremberg rally and they cheered her on. They cheered for more cops, harsher immigration, defiant imperialism.

      Well, you have two options. The scenario you made up about Harris, or the scramble-butt roundabout happening in trumps head.

      Trump won’t do anything to alleviate suffering in Gaza. He loves it. Also fuck AIPAC.

        You have two options I’m not voting for either one of them. By the time the next inauguration comes around, there’s not likely to be many left in Gaza.

              So why are you bitching about it on the internet? Either it is your private business, or you want a discussion about it, both can’t be true at the same time.

          I’m guessing Trump’s policies wouldn’t affect you directly. People with that kind of privilege can choose not to vote because nothing about their daily lives will change much regardless of which candidate gets elected. But for many of us, whose lives and well being are at stake, we’re forced to go with the lesser of two evils because a Trump presidency really would have a major impact on my life.

      Spot on. All the excitement of Biden dropping and Harris making some savvy choices (like Walz) got me timidly peeking out from the cocoon of cynicism I’ve build up from decades of incompetent and evil leadership. Then Harris welt full tilt Palpatine/DNC pandering campaign cop and all that good will and energy just evaporated. In addition to shying away from all this vaunted joy-infused leadership-ness I heard Democrats crow about for four days, she’s hurting her electability with yet another Democratic shift to the right. And, if we’re lucky enough to get her in, and finally boot the orange shitgibbon to the curb, we have every reason to believe she will run yet another, timid, milquetoast administration that continues to Overton window us further toward Republican-style fascism.

      I desperately hate the Democratic Party for being such a comprehensively ineffective opposition to creeping fascism. She had a chance to demonstrate real leadership here, but chose DC campaign consultant maneuvering instead. Such a deep let down.

        It wasn’t just a mild shift to the right. It was a jolt.
