    Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris went into America’s Den of Misinformation – Fox News – for a Wednesday night interview that demonstrated two things:

    1. She has far more guts than her opponent, Donald Trump.
    2. Fox News remains an arm of the Republican Party.

      Let’s give her a little more credit and also say

      1. She was able to give about as good of a solid answer as one can in that den of snakes.

      Literally no soft ball questions, unlike the interviews Trump is willing to sit for. I was surprised she even had a good answer regarding the stupid transgender surgeries bit those 'phobes have been pushing, pointing out federal law that even the Trump administration followed.

      Not sure if it’ll sway any of the brainwashed, but it might be some people’s first exposure to her and first impressions matter, especially if she wins and needs to combat misinformation.

    It was a lot of Rs first real exposure to her and let her take back a bit of the Trump narrative about her. “She’s dumb” “she can’t speak” she showed she wasn’t, that she can, and that she’s better at it than Trump. And that she’ll sit for an interview with anyone, unlike Trump who keeps cancelling interviews.

      I will poop in my pants if any of the Fox news loyalists think anything other than she made a complete ass of herself. You and I both know she could say absolutely anything and it wouldn’t matter. It will get spun to make her look like a complete moron and the viewers will just gobble it up. Their site right now is 100% negative about the interview and there’s no doubt in my mind there’s a lot more where that came from.

        For the core fox watchers, yes.

        But here’s the real audience: every single restaurant and diner and bowling alley and gas station and mom and pop whatever in the south is blaring fox 24/7 and I’m sure she caught the attention and the ear of more than a few people who know almost nothing about politics.

    sadly genocide is still in her list of allowable behaviors. its too bad really. hopefully she comes to her senses by the end of next week when I send my ballot in. its just sitting here waiting for her to sort her shit out. but its clear shes starting to get the message if she felt the need to go on fox and with the biden admin attempting to gaslight their voter base with the 30 day threat to israel that conveniently puts them after the election. which no one is fooled by.

    remember everyone: email your congress critters and let them know you don’t support arms to israel whiles its committing a genocide. lets get harris on track so this nonsense stops and we can vote for her.

      I care more about the future of my country than war crimes committed in another. Full stop.

      One candidate is a legitimate fascist, the other doesn’t care if our allies kill people. When I’m voting between these two folks as my only options, only one of those two things matter.

        guess you don’t care that much if all it takes for our country to implode is you won’t even inform your congress critters you support an embargo on arms to israel. all you need to do is send 3 easy emails to your congress critters. go on I know you can do it. remember you can still vote for her, myself and 40k people minimum in a swing state might not until she commits to not supporting a genocide. you can help push her over the line she’s almost there.

        remember you don’t care what happens in gaza, this should be easy for you. you can get what you want (my vote for kamala) and I can get what I want, less murdering in my countries name. seems like a win win and what politics is all about friend.

        after all a country that supports genocide isn’t a country worth having. 🤷

        edit:

        edit 2: I’ll make it easy for everyone -

        Hello congress critter,

        I’m writing today to inform you that I’d like to see harris put out a press statement that she’ll follow the law as outline in leahy and will enforce an arms embargo in israel for war crimes and genocide before the end of october. if she doesn’t I can’t ensure I will vote for her. I want to but her inability to pass a basic human decency bar of ‘won’t support a genocide’ is kind of a bare minimum pre-req for the office which the biden admin has failed at. No one is saying we won’t protect israel, we just won’t let them commit a genocide’
