But there are conservative-leaning never trumpers who have an ounce of moral standards that doesn’t let them vote for Trump who is unquestionably worse than Liz Cheney in every way (namely, she didn’t try to overthrow democracy on January 6th and continue to peddle the Big Lie).

It is these voters Liz Cheney seeks for Harris and it’s clearly scaring the fuck out of Trump lol

Fair point. I feel Immediately following elections Democrats need to pivot into this one-part educational teacher mindset to dispel common myths on us history and civics (eg, “The Dems were the slavers!”), and one-part activism. Every election cycle we fall for the trap of letting the blind lead the blind. To carve out the winning electorate by whatever means necessary as you say. But when do we actually try to nudge Americans in the right direction? This is what I commended Warren or Sanders for because they built a movement around where the country needed to go through facts and conviction and persuaded people.

Democrats rarely persuade and equally fall for whatever bullshit narrative Republicans design.

I wish Dems would start spitting fire and come out with an ad going through the list of prejudices throughout our history.

"Native Americans / Aborigines? Italians? Jews? Asians? Blacks? Latinos? Women voting? Muslims? Gay? And now trans?

Isn’t it always something? When will we all see the pattern here that these witch hunts always fall on the wrong side of history. And they’re always perpetrated by the same sort of people - not grouped by the color of their skin race or religion, but of profound ignorance rooted in fear of the unknown. Cutting across every other adjective used to divide us, we are ALL human."

Side note but my god I still think of that Bernie Sanders ad from his 2016 campaign, Vote Together.

Anyone remember Umbrella Man from the 2020 Minneapolis riots? He was smashing windows and trying to frame BLM protesters when in fact he was a right wing nut job.

Wasn’t the only case if I recall of that year.

Boogaloo boys tried to do something similar in framing nearby protesters over George Floyd when they shot up a Federal courthouse, killing a security guard.

Investigations into the 2020 protests found that the vast majority of protests were peaceful and a majority of the violence was instigated by counter-protesters.

C’mon, didn’t you wanna see Oppenheimer reach criticality?

I’m sure this will do wonders for reducing radicalization in the region… /s

Car dealer has been begging me for my Tacoma since I bought it just pre-pandemic and with how low mileage it is.

I enjoy the calls, lol.

Lmfao golden considering the amount of imports and exploitation of 3rd world nations as you drain their resources dry and exploit their cheap labor. Have some humility, buddy.

I’m hoping 2022 is an indicator of what is to come.

It’s more, “they know not what they do.”

Many are too shortsighted to grasp that their own beliefs fuel their own pain.

Still, I don’t blame the grifted as much as I do the grifters.

This is how democracy dies in darkness… Behind paywalls.

Wasn’t that really the days of Digg? I can’t even remember such eons ago…

I sadly was one of those duped, hot off of reading Atlas Shrugged no less at a more impressionable time in my life. Thank fuck I crawled my way out.

Best way to get the young male vote to be honest. Isn’t this part of what made Ron Paul popular?

For sure, though I could use 14 States as examples that are larger. Not even counting all the foreign aid we give to Israel in the first place — it’s just absurd we have to kiss their ass so much partly because of AIPAC.

It’s insane that a country whose economy is 1/8th that of California alone and whose population is 35x smaller has the US by the balls in this way.

Well first you gotta hawk tuah.

Their word choice could be a little better but if you understand the various degrees of Nazism 1930s Germany, this kind of rings true. Most nazi party members weren’t these dyed-in-the-wool SS types with full knowledge of the gas chambers; but they certainly conveniently looked the other way and enabled and benefited from it just the same. Naturally, many of these would continue to radicalize. Ignorance, greed, apathy, psychopathy, sure… Varying amounts at the individual level — yet all volunteer to reside under the same unifying banner.

Both of you are kind of right. It’s still an insane feat of endurance but averaging an 18 minute mile is pretty damn slow and likely zone 2-3 even in rugged terrain for an athlete like her.

High intensity isn’t just a generalized term but specific to heart rate, lactate buildup, and anaerobic states.

I can’t get over what a star-studded cast the Harry Potter films had… Smith, Harris, Rickman, Oldman, Thewlis, Coltrane… I could go on. The child actors were so fortunate to have that experience and to meet and learn from such legends.
