Its more like knocked out and twitching, hopefully it’s not just those movements the body makes when it doesn’t realise it’s dead yet.

There’s no rush, it wouldn’t hit for 8 years I think. I mean, there are more pressing problems lol

You again. There have been 2 women on the ballot and both failed, this latest with drastic consequences. So I’d say my read was 100% correct, unfortunately. I wish I was wrong.

Let’s not live in the real world and run a black woman as candidate, which has never been done before… Why not?
Oh, that’s just coincidence.
As is the fact that even without racism, a woman lost to trump last time.
Nothing to do with the fact that racism and sexism exist and are actually very important to some people. /s

Come on. Run a black woman at a time when the consequences of racism and sexism being expressed in the voting booth aren’t AS bad. Not when a dictator from day 1 is going to get elected in possibly the last ever election for the US. Then you run your most boring, conservative candidate who as few people have a problem with as possible until whatever passes for normality in the US returns.

What do you think that trump getting elected has done for women’s rights, or POC? Yeah, better to be pragmatic because getting a woman on the ballot paper was not worth it and probably set us women back by decades, at a minimum.

I didn’t say communist, I said socialist. Socialism isn’t a monolith, there are different variants, but in general we have universal healthcare and good public services, support people with a financial safety net for those who need it, high taxes so wealth is shared more equally. I mean all this is relative and could be better but compared to America? Homeless shanty towns & workers living in cars for years? Was it Finland eliminated homlessness? Socialist paradise.

Not sure why I’m being down voted - I would have noted for kamala and I wish she was president. I’m saying that if there’s an option to take a risk now when failure means death then it’s best to not take the risk and wait for a time when the alternative is only pain. Trump was death, we all knew. Not a good time to take a risk. It would have been better to wait to take a risk in trying to elect a woman for the first time in a country of people who think its okay for a person held to the highest standards in the land to say ‘grab em by the pussy’, pay women for sex and be a rapist of women. Even aside from the racism. If you don’t see that then I’m shocked.

The fact is that many Americans wouldn’t vote for a woman, and combining that with the ones who wouldn’t vote for a person of colour is a bad idea, especially when the alternative for president is so dire.

I do think that the fact she wouldn’t support Palestine/condemn Israel was a factor too, but if she had, that would have set Israel against her and lost more votes, especially due to all the media Zionists control and their lobbying power.

True. People need to learn what socialist actually means. Much of Europe is socialist.

In an ideal world, but haven’t we learned that she’s too female and probably not white enough for America? *I don’t agree, but I’m being pragmatic

We already know they can’t run a charity or even a casino

For me as an outsider he represents the worst of america- fake, plastic, bloated ego, stupid but unaware, white man complex… He’s a poisonous human with no substance. Maybe it would be fitting if he were the last president.

When everything is destroyed how will you stop Russia or China invading?

I’ve thought the same but this is all dependant on someone sane being able to take power back at some point soon. Where will all the crazies be when this better society is being created?

The climate catastrophe is also a ticking time bomb with very little time left to avert total disaster. The other problem is that Putin caused this situation for a reason and honestly I’m thinking he destabilised the world because there’s a plan involved. Call me crazy but Russia, China and whoever could be aiming to invade. What else are they playing at? They’re all megalomaniacs and they’re going to control all these countries where the US was giving aid (and I’m sure spying).

And then there’s an asteroid, currently a 3% chance of hitting. Have you seen ‘don’t look up’?

Imagine if a MacDonald’s worker on minimum wage slipped something in his slimeburger.

You mean another coup? Another in addition to the first coup, in which several people were killed and sh*t smeared on the walls of the capitol, when people had to hide for their lives and in which some of the protectors were complicit?

The one after which the ringleader went completely unpunished and then got back into power and released the people who’d actually done it on his behalf?

I know this is crazytown now, but we don’t want to forget about that first coup.

People who know how to code are in agreement that he has no clue.

In the MAGAsphere anything other than trumps delusions is fake news.

Shocker

Any black person disabled person or woman promotes diversity by the fact that they are diverse. This is the start or removing any diverse person from employment in a position of prestige or power.

Here, ‘just stop oil’ has been throwing beans at famous artworks for publicity. The art works are all behind glass so aren’t harmed. They then put it on social media. They also climb tall stuff and put up banners.

How about sponsoring people who have the time to go protest, hiring buses and setting up camps like occupy did? People who can’t go can chip in to fund it.
