    What an ignorant, self-aggrandizing, deadweight statement.

    We don’t have a system where candidates “earn” votes. We have a system where we simply choose between destruction and status quo.

    You’re not voting for Kamala because she memorised all the names of the middle east leaders. You voting for her because she’s the only path open to a possible future where candidates can earn their vote.

      And here’s the thing: it’s not Kamala’s fault, she is running a functional campaign and she and Tim Walz speak functionally.

      The problem is the ignorant, warped, hateful rhetoric coming from one side and one side only, plus the hollow, mediocre full-blast noise machine pretending to be “journalism”, like the article linked in the title. Too many people equate this noise to the candidate herself, seem to be mentally/emotionally unable to separate the two. And that’s a problem.

      Whoever says “I need more information” at this late stage is either a dishonest narcissist or sociopath, or an easily-contaminated imbecile, the exact bullseye target of said narcissists and sociopaths.

      Here’s the way to go, for better mental health:

      SPEAK SOFTLY, TUNE OUT
      VOTE DEMOCRAT IN NOVEMBER
      (or before via early voting or mail-in ballot)

    “But votes need to be earned.”

    So what has Trump done to earn your vote?

    You’re OK with detention camps on US soil?

    Invading Mexico?

    Imprisoning political enemies?

    No sane person would be in favor of any of this, and, assuming you’re a sane person, then yes, Harris has, in fact, earned your vote… by simply not being her opponent. Full stop.
