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.

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.

I keep half my life in my car, I can’t imagine switching it to another car everyday…unless I just keep an equal amount of stuff in the other car…
> 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.

Miller is not a sharp mind, he couldn’t flexibly come up with a response to a changing situation and resorted to bullying, which didn’t work either
The reporter wasn’t even that sharp or clever either, which again tells you what you need to know about Miller, he would be mid-level manager somewhere if not for his luck

So they fixed the electoral college, and they know victory is all but certain. That’s why they came up with the most cruel and despicable lie so that when Trump wins, despite losing the debate, progressives and leftists and sane people will be heartbroken and soul shattered.

meanwhile evangelicals made the pragmatic decision to vote for Trump, the least christian man in the whole GOP, because he furthers their anti-abortion agenda. I
Conservatives get abortions as soon as their own daughters get pregnant. They’re consummate hypocrites. Voting republican has always been about keeping workers deprived of rights and wage increases. No conservative gives a shit about the culture war stuff. The culture war is and has always been a distraction from creating welfare states like in EU.

The problem is that no one fact checks him in his personal life, so he thinks it’s just a thing his political opponents do. But the reality is that no one thinks it’s worth the time to correct his wrong way of thinking, esp. when he can be a useful idiot and use his wrong ideas to distract from the issues at hand

These winners are humanitarian and anti-genocide. If Israel gets a sane, non-racist government, then I think most reasonable people wouldn’t criticize Israel, and certainly would support any actions it needs to defend itself. 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.

> 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
> If depression is the emotional expression of the immobilization response, then the solution is to move out of that state of defense. Porges believes it is not enough to simply remove the threat. Rather, the nervous system has to detect robust signals of safety to bring the social state back online. The best way to do that? Social connection.

Anyone else feel bad after criticizing religion or conservatives? I think I am just feeling empathetic towards religious people and conservatives. Sometimes people just don’t know any better, or they have too much to unlearn to reconcile their differences with other people. I genuinely want to understand someone else’s perspective, but I don’t think anyone else has the right to impinge on someone else’s rights, especially not based on their cultures world origin mythology. It can be very frustrating. Sorry for unloading, been reading too much news and pol 😭 Pic unrelated

YouGov is an online pollster, but rated relatively okay in reliability. Some of the opinions on Harris are unreasonable, it’s like the people being polled don’t know her strengths at all and are judging her as any random Dem. I wonder how this type of opinion changes over time Edit I guess it’s old news so the polls are probably unreliable now
