Your shoulders must be getting huge from all the water carrying you've done for Kamala Tony.

I think you're actually starting to believe this tripe.

Is she better than Trump, yes. Is that the bar we are going to measure against before we go completely gaga for a candidate now?

They both suck. Criticizing her isn't automatically racist, sexist, or any other -ist. Are there -ists out there critiquing her, of course. But the lengths you are cheerleading her is just beyond belief based on your past pretty balanced views of both parties.

today's entry into the chronically offended

Pretty obvious typo. I meant DNC

The projection is strong here...

"What is it that makes her a terrible candidate in your eyes?
Is it that she is a woman? Or is it that she is a minority?"

You realize these are probably the only reason you DO support her.

"is it that she has actual policies and not just meandering non-sensical stories"
You're kidding right? She can't describe her plans in any way when asked, and certainly not when pressed for details.

#11 and Tony...

I didn't know this was a win loss, make it into the playoffs type thing.

This isn't about winning elections, it's about being a leader with clear goals.

And let's really be clear here did she win the elections or did the D running in those elections win? Because let's be honest most people these days are just voting for the party and not the person.

So I really don't give two s**** about what her record is in winning elections in deep D states.

It's sort of telling that is your fallback defense of her recently. Not the great answers she's given, not the solid well laid out direction for the country she is able to articulate and go into great detail on. Nope, She's 7-0, that's what you got. Pathetic.

There should be protests everywhere against the RNC and DNC for trotting out these two candidates... Instead we are Rah rah'ing whatever "team" we have chosen to root for.

What a surprise, both sides of the media are complicit in propping up 'their sides' candidate.

The DNC chose to run a buffoon against a clown and don't like the blow back is another way stating this bluntly

we've had a decade of hearing how evil Trump is, He's a known entity. Kamala got anointed by the RNC at the last minute, and voters are trying to learn who she truly is as a leader.

Keep crying the poor Kamala tears though... boo hoo, the more she's exposed the worse she looks, it's sooo unfair... don't care.

"planned to endorse the better candidate"

It's beyond time to start sending messages to the parties that we don't like the tripe they're rolling out.

Good lets see more large entities call out the two flavors of tripe we have to choose from and maybe some changes might happen.

it's amazing that people here equate all votes the same way. We don't have one election we have 50. My 3rd party vote in MA which will go overwhelmingly to Harris, is in no way going to help Trump. If I chose to vote for Trump in MA, it isn't going to weigh in and determine some swing states tight vote count.

Stop being so disingenuous and dramatic "oh dear a non vote for a major party is a vote for Trump"... Get over yourself.

"If you don't vote for either candidate then you are voting Trumpy."

Not really true since we really have 50 elections and not one. I'm in MA, it's a foregone conclusion that Harris is going to carry this state regardless of how I vote.

So I will be voting for a third party as it will be the closest thing to a No to both of them. If more people were willing to send a message to the major parties perhaps we could get it through to them that we aren't going to stand for the crap they've been offering.

But both sides are too worried they might lose, and each party has convinced their bases that each candidate is an existential threat to our very ways of being that there is not real threat of an actual protest "lack of voting" to occur.

So it will be another year of singularly protesting against the parties.

#11 Thread isn't about Trump...

I am however in a social club that has elections for officers. The process is that an election committee brings forth a ballot with the officers they are nominating... Pres/VP/Sec/Treas. The club votes yes or no on the ballot as is. If it's a no the committee produces a new ballot completely or partially edited.

I wish this election were the same and we could vote no to both candidates, and the DNC and RNC had to start over with new choices.

I'm not under estimating her. I'm fully expecting her to continue to fail upwards and win this election. She's not dumb, she's quite crafty at manipulating the game to put her into these positions to fail up. She was probably a pretty skilled prosecutor as well. When it comes to governing and policy though that is a skillset that she doesn't seem to think well on on her feet, and it's that inability that causes me to have my negative view of her.

Any Debian variant is better than Win/Mac...

For the corporate culture where you need interopability though, Mac is a nice Linux cousin on the command line

The willingness to accept the tripe the two parties is feeding us is just astounding

#16 Can you really not parse those words properly.

I didn't say that it's clear that one is better than the other.

Now, choose... I'm going to crush your skull with an anvil slowly... or I'm going to shoot you in the forehead with a large caliber gun.

How do you feel about those choices?

"I would like to point out that, the "below room temp IQ" that your alias cites, whooped fmr Pres Trump's derriere during the debate.

So, what does that say about fmr Pres Trump?"

Ever see a Bum Fights video? You don't take the winner of the fight and put them in charge of anything.

How the hell are these two our only choices?

Apply #9 to both parties and we might actually get somewhere.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone either didn't vote, or wrote in themselves or random candidates.

What would the news cycle sound like the next day? Would the RNC and DNC get a wake up call?

But instead we'll get Trump or Kamala... and four years from now they'll trot out more choices that are just as unappealing as what we have now.

Kamala doesn't have one ounce the capacity to communicate ideas of any form

Is probably more accurate.

I've just written him off... nothing surprises me with negatives, and I don't buy the positives. There is also plenty of meat on that bone already posted here too.

#36 and you're not excusing those things... you're trying to keep the bar high there.... Why just hand waive away hers?

#28 Censored and the moron who thinks that's newsworthy... does it hurt being so dense? I have never voted for or will vote for Trump.

It's possible to recognize them both has awful candidates.

can we get past Trump sucks, and just admit that you're choosing to vote for Kamala reluctantly?

It's okay to say... wow, I'm really disappointed that she plagiarized and that I feel I still have to vote for her.

But to downplay plagiarism as if it is no big deal, does the future no favors as we continually lower the bar.
