Afraid of they spelled it right someone would think they were insulting her by calling her a cow. Moo.

I've often assumed Harris didn't want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?

Out of sight, out of mind.

Until I have good reason to believe that my vote stands a good chance of actually mattering should I do such a thing, no. There's no way of knowing the result beforehand, so I'd rather play it safer and spend it on trying to prevent the worst possible outcome. Might not always work, but then again it might.

I wrote her off many years ago for reasons I don't remember, but know had nothing to do with that. Also, COVID proved being a licensed MD isn't a reliable yardstick.

You're ignoring the "prayer of winning" part. Until then, I'm voting against the bigger asshole.

I think it's useful to point out those afraid of voting for a woman are down on a level with those assholes.

A truly progressive third party that also actually has a prayer of winning. They would need a groundswell of individual small donors making up much of their campaign funding because mainstream ain't gonna fund them, so good luck with that.

I'm afraid of this backfiring due to newly re-entrenched & emboldened misogyny refusing to do anything against those raping women for refusing to have sex with them. The incels that have been stewing in their resentment for years are gonna explode, and many will get away with it.

That might explain why I'm going deaf.

I'm sure it's not many because as I understand it the legal limitations make it too difficult. I've read it's actually easier to go to Mexico.

I doubt Trump is going to care enough to keep his promises. He ran to avoid jail and for the ego trip from winning - he got both, so he's gonna coast and do whatever his handlers tell him just so long as they let him take full credit for anything positive.

They will tell him to do things that will benefit them by removing the guardrails on the economy so they can exploit the hell out of it in record time. As such, it'll initially look good before it burns itself out, by which time most of his term will be up anyway. By that time he'll have gotten his sycophants to ensure he is fully immune to prosecution, along with a more fully stacked Supreme Court to ensure it stays that way.

Need proof? How much has Mexico paid into the border wall, eh? Plenty of other unfulfilled promises from the first time around to point at, if you need more.

If you're in the US, you're already there - just give it some time for that truth to take its inevitable hold.

People are calling for violence against FEMA on TikTok and X, new reports say.

I seriously don't understand why these people aren't immediately tracked down and arrested for terroristic threats. This BS is way beyond any reasonable "free speech" limit.
