    Let’s call this what it is, Dems are losing because of their neoliberalism.

    Dems don’t fully commit to EU like welfare states, and the half assed approach to progressive policies eats at people’s bottom lines and pocketbooks.

    The Republicans promise getting rid of competition which comes from immigrants, so naturally attract the vote of the hopeless and helpless low skill workers, who will get shafted by low wages and benefits which come from Republican policies, but the blame will always go towards racist or culture war distractions. I can’t achieve the American dream because of the gays, the poor, the immigrants, etc.

    The independents are truly the worst because they don’t have the sense to ask for what they want and believe someone else will magically make that appear.

    America’s only redemption is creating an EU like welfare state. Dems and their weakness is going to cost America the imperialism it has enjoyed since WWII because the Republicans are opportunistic and not patriotic or interested in American ideals.

    The Founding Fathers and Islam https://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/0205/tolerance.html

    There’s no such thing as Judeo-Christian vision for the founding of America. People need to take back their lives from fascists and their false narratives. I am specifically bringing up Islam because of loony loomers Islamophobia. > The Founders of this nation explicitly included Islam in their vision of the future of the republic. Freedom of religion, as they conceived it, encompassed it. Adherents of the faith were, with some exceptions, regarded as men and women who would make law-abiding, productive citizens. Far from fearing Islam, the Founders would have incorporated it into the fabric of American life. Ideally, America should be a secular nation with freedom to practice any faith in personal life.

    Kamala Crushes Trump in Key Metrics in Post-Debate Poll www.thedailybeast.com

    > There was some good news for Trump though—many of his campaign’s points of attack against Harris and the Biden administration appeared to connect with voters, with 47 percent saying he prioritizes a good climate for business (compared to 37 percent for Harris) and 43 percent saying he would prioritize lowering the cost of household goods (compared to only 36 percent for the Democratic nominee). Harris needs to speak at a fourth grade level without sounding condescending. Are people even listening, or are they dumb? It’s probably the latter, but it’s not their fault they’re dumb. There are well-oiled propaganda machines making fools of us all.

The reality is that there are people who are both anti-Semitic and want Israel to cease to exist for racist reasons. Most people who are anti-genocide are not such people.

    He/She rule www.nytimes.com

    > The Israelites took the transgender trope from their surrounding cultures and wove it into their own sacred scripture. The four-Hebrew-letter name of God, which scholars refer to as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, was probably not pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahweh,” as some have guessed. The Israelite priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi — in other words, the hidden name of God was Hebrew for “He/She.” Counter to everything we grew up believing, the God of Israel — the God of the three monotheistic, Abrahamic religions to which fully half the people on the planet today belong — was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered deity. https://archive.is/MsSEL
