    Holy shit, right? I genuinely have not been this optimistic about a presidential election since 2008. Don’t get me wrong - shit could still go sideways. But Harris at this point is absolutely SLAYING, and is mostly saying the right things on the right topics, and furthermore is CLEARLY on top of her game, and fully understands the stakes.

      It’s a fait accompli.

      Time to start planning for another business-friendly Democrat administration. It probably won’t have majorities in both houses, but it wouldn’t matter much even if they did manage to pull that off. Bipartisanship is the name of the Democrat game, and the next question is whether the Republican remnant will play ball or fall into infighting after whatever bloody nonsense their nutjobs get up to this time.

        Doomers and bothsides-ers can fuck off. While you people keep bitching and moaning, the adults in the room are trying to make the world a better place.

            Not great, so people should continue to apply pressure. And not just over Palestine, but over all MIC capture of our government. Otoh, this administration and hopefully Harris’ will continue it is one of the most union friendly in living memory and the FTC has been insanely active. If we’re lucky, we might even see the return of the CFPB as a legitimate and effective entity. So your characterization is beyond brain dead.

              Cool. Tell all your Democrat friends that they can have my vote when they start doing the bare minimum and embargo arms sales to Israel.

                i’ll be sure to tell them that once i’m convinced you aren’t a tankie trying to subvert the election.

                  I’m a single-issue anti-genocide voter. My political ideal is a mashup of Library Socialism and Anarchism. The election can’t be subverted, it’s already been decided that Harris is winning.

                    I’m a single-issue anti-genocide voter.

                    you are going to be deeply disappointed when any number of things happens. Notably when you discover that israel probably isn’t just flagrantly committing genocide. When you discover other issues like climate change, and human rights abuse. Or like, nestle.

                    I can think of a few things that would spook you more than like 40,000 people dying. Notably the roughly 300,000 causalities in the russo-ukraine war that’s still ongoing.

                    The election can’t be subverted, it’s already been decided that Harris is winning.

                    it most definitely can be, see: 2020 election and the jan 6 plot (a video covering the excessive extents of jan 6th, it’s 3 hours long, and straight information)

                    there is already work being done to potentially subvert the will of the voters: see Georgia, i don’t have to explain this one, the board committee thing overseeing elections is trying to usurp total control over the certification of the votes.

                    yes, harris is already winning that’s how polling works. Unfortunately for you, polling is never perfectly accurate.

                    I like your root instance though. Real recognize real if you know what i mean.
