    On behalf of the rest of the world, can I just say thank you to the democrats for getting themselves sorted out and getting into a state where they could beat the gibbering orange gibbon.

      I’m sure the DNC will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Let’s get Hilary, she’ll know what to do! And Debbie!

          I for one would welcome UN election oversight (is that the right term?), it’d be a great kick in the balls to Orange Julius if Biden brought them in

              They’re gonna find something to bitch about regardless, might as well give election rules some teeth to nip it in the bud.

          Hahaha, true. Really though, I am simultaneously energized to vote for Harris and wary of the DNC’s incompetence.

      The most urgent foreign policy issue right now is the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. I would say that walz did not display “big dad energy” when he refused to meet with Palestinian families from his state to discuss possible solutions (he was willing to meet, but only to listen and “bear witness” to their stories. That was the extent of his support)

        he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed colour. Became very red.

        Holy shit it’s worse than what I expected

          And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away.

          And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away…

          🤔

        All of that absolutely tracks for what I would expect of him. And honestly, I could imagine a number of people having similar reactions.

        I feel the disconnect here is I can’t imagine someone going out of their way to tell the story unasked. Like, I feel even amongst the people who would do it they wouldn’t talk about it? And of those they wouldn’t talk about it in an interview, unprompted. That’s the truly baffling part, to me.

          I think when you read that article it’s important to think critically about how it’s composed. I am as anti-trump as the next European “centrist dad”, but nothing I read there made me think he went out of his way to tell that story unprompted. I imagine he was interviewed, said a bunch of stuff, and then someone cherry-picked the quotes they needed to support the narrative of the article… You can’t just take it at face value!?

            But they are giving the context in which he says it.

            The story came about as he was discussing his uneasiness for looking at blood, which prompted him to recall the incident.

            And I wouldn’t call it cherry picking if an article that says: Here is a bad thing Trump said in an old interview is quoting, well, said bad thing. In Context.

            I mean, you are right about what they did. He said a lot of stuff and they represent the things that make him look bad. Doesn’t change that he said them tough.

    “and I have to say, this idea of caring for our neighbor and kindness and a hand up when somebody needs it, or just the sense that people go through things, and to be able to be there when they need it, that’s who we are,” said Walz.

    Warms my heart, America, that you might just elect a president and vice president who I’d gladly spend time with. Walz actually a decent guy. Well picked, Kamala.

    Giving out free water? That’s some socialist agenda right there if I ever seen one. Next thing you know he’s gonna give people free bread and invite them to have free dinner.

      He’d better not try that in Georgia, where giving water to people in line to vote is illegal.

        There are certain people on the internet who have been conditioned to impulsively post any recognizable reference even if only tangentially related to a topic in hopes of getting some sort of response. It’s the redditor syndrome
