  • Former KKK leader David Duke endorses Jill Stein

    Jump

  • you assume too much.

    she is not a member of an ongoing genocide. that would be the government of israel, specifically benjamin netanyahu and his war cabinet. they are using the weapons we gave them to defend against iran in a conflict disproportionate to the way they were attacked and they are disinterested in paying us the united states any attention with requests and demands unless trump gets in who will allow netanyahu to act in gaza without restraint.

    so tell me, which one do you want, someone who will use all the soft power we have to influence israel's actions, or do you want someone who will allow israel to make what's going on in gaza look like a water gun fight and then target the west bank next?because don't you dare believe that gaza will be the end of this.

    i am also black. I early voted. I didn't vote for her because she's black. I voted for her because she's not a wannabe dictator, a 34 time felon, a credibly accused insurrecionist, a credibly accused thief of government documents, a racist, a bigot, a narcissist, an adjudicated rapist and sexual abuser, an adjudicated con artist, an adjudicated tax fraud, showing severe and obvious signs of mental decline, and is the only person who has the ability to be president since literally every third party candidate is not on enough state ballots to constitute the necessary 270 electoral college votes needed to become the president.

  • genocide jill is perfectly fine with genocides except for the one that's hot in the news right now.

    by the way, those people are who are being genocided in the genocide hot in the news right now? they support kamala harris.

    you don't care about genocide. especially that one. because if you did you would be voting for her. it's either you hate israel or you just refuse to vote for a black woman or you want to vote for trump or some combination of the 3.

    Trump Pulls Ahead in Battleground States.

  • nate silver created a brand new thing in 2008, and it only took the ratfuck industry 14 years to figure out how to manipulate polls to promote an image that does not exist. and the corporate media, the corporate political media specifically, has gotten so lazy with it's predictably and highly inaccurate "both side"-erism coverage of politics that they will take any poll, report it as highly credible (because polling drives everything, even ones where specific people are selected "randomly" to drive narratives).

    these are the same polling outfits who will find the evangelical black gay trans person who is also maga and use that obvious statistical outlier to promote a surge in multiple demographics towards trump.

  • 'Dead heat': Trump pulls even with Harris in NBC News poll

  • nbc had the race tied at this point in 2012. how'd that election turn out?

    all gas, no brakes.

  • Domino's or Pizza Hut?

    Jump

  • EVERYONE out pizzas the hut.

    pizza hut is bad chain pizza.

    this has been my opinion since the early 90s and nothing during that time has changed my opinion.

    meanwhile domino's has gotten markedly better since 2000. if I'm traveling and don't want to think about what to eat, I'm getting domino's because I know they're everywhere. them or papa johns depending on what deal is going on at the time.

  • Georgia court rejects counting presidential votes for Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz

    Jump

  • part of me shitting on third parties is the fact they enable the bad stuff they want to happen, see the elections of 2000 and 2016. but it also needs to be pointed out, repeatedly, loudly, this other point you just nade:

    IT IS STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE TO WIN ENOUGH ELECTORAL VOTES TO BECOME PRESIDENT.

    they don't have an answer for that. if they do respond they never address that specific point only saying well enough people just have to vote third party.

    none of these people have any clue how our government or elections or voting works. I'll bet some of them are convinced that because the cheneys endorsed harris it means she's an even bigger genocider even though they both have said they don't agree with her politics except for the politics that preserve the constitution. they're dead enders man.

  • it's all about party purity for them.

    I'll be honest here. I'm not a registered democrat. never have been. I find myself aligning mostly with the greens on a lot of issues. but I'm never voting for a green. because I know that if I want stuff that I favor to happen, voting for a party that never campaigns, never organizes, and never puts up credible people who have done the public service work isn't just a fool's errand it's political idiocy. that's why I vote for democrats.

    I know they aren't perfect. but I also know they know how to organize and get shit done politically, even if they water down their own legislation to appeal to their conservative wing and water it down even more to appeal to republican who will never vote for it but I digress.

    the point of elections is to set the government at whatever level to go in the direction you want. and voting for the option that will only win in a microscopic probability but is more likely to make it easier for the party and candidate I vehemently disagree with to win is beyond stupid, it's purposefully destructive. to what end? it makes no sense.

  • The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 shows why long-term software support matters

    Jump

  • I still have my note 9. i have 2 other devices that are my dailies so it's in semi retirement as a nightstand clock. I haven't had a need to do stuff with it since for all intent and purposes it's a clock now but I may give lineage a try since I probably won't do anything else with it.

    the only reason I haven't rooted it is because I had heard rooting breaks nfc payments. I'm trying not to pull my physical wallet out if I can help it and payment is important to me otherwise it would have been done long before now.

  • I don't think that you need any more proof that all of these pop up third party efforts are simply republicans funding some of the most ostentatious left wingers out there in order to ratfuck democratic presidential efforts. none of these people can win 270 electoral votes because they aren't on enough ballots to get there. FACT.

    anyone who tells you that they can still win is a political idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about and should be ignored or someone with a vested interest in making sure that democrats get fewer votes than they should letting the only other viable party option win. left wingers included.

    if there were a real serious third party looking at real electoral victories they should start organizing at the local level with a real long term strategy of growth and do it for all years, not just the ones divisible by 4. by not doing anything except in a presidential election year they are only reinforcing and perpetuating the "corrupt duopoly" they hate so much.

  • NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules

    Jump

  • i had to login for some functions at work. i believe the minimums were 8 characters, 1 caapitol, 1 number. and we all hated it, because the passwords had to be changed every 90 days, and you couldn't reuse passwords. eventually you are going to run out of things you can reasonably use that you could remember and then would be forced to use some sort of password manager. but OOPSIE you couldn't install any software on the office computer so you would have to resort to writing them down somewhere. it was a mess.

    fortunately corporate decided to just change the entire system adopting most of these rules, min 15 characters, no special character, no hints, no forced changing passwords unless you think you have been compromised or just want to change it. we do have to use 2fa to access some things if you aren't sitting at the office computer but other than that people are much happier about passwords now.

  • Top Muslim-voter organization endorses Harris as Middle East conflict escalates

    Jump

  • my guess: they'll ignore it, just like they ignore what the gazan and west bank people say who they want as president.

    it's not about genocide or gaza for them.

    it was never about genocide or gaza for them. just look at them scramble when you point out how their champion said nothing about what happened in ukraine and syria and those genocides (relevant since their champion was a known supporter of putin and assad).

    it was only about disrupting the "corrupt duopoly" and having the ability to smugly declare their purity in not compromising their values on the ballot, the consequences of that vote which would affect all of us be damned.

  • Top Muslim-voter organization endorses Harris as Middle East conflict escalates

    Jump

  • really it only makes sense.

    the obvious glaring problem with all of these people who say they support the plight of the gazan people was that if they actually cared for and listened to what the gazan people were telling anyone who would actually listen to them, when it came to who the next american president should be they overwhelmingly said kamala harris.

    these online activists were in effect doing the exact same thing that trump was doing with the border. they didn't care or cared very little about gazans other than using them as a tool to try to affect the kind of political revolution they jerk off to every night destroying the "corrupt duopoly" as their only real political goal.

    it's good that a leading muslim organization a) listened to what gazans were saying b) considered all consequences of electing either candidate, not just the consequences regarfing gaza and c) knows that there is no such thing as a perfect political party or candidate and that demanding purity on an issue important to them is much likely to get them less influence.

    hopefully this news shuts these people up for the next few weeks.

    Jump

  • biden won by almost 8 million(?) votes lst time. is that not overwhelming enough? just because most of the votes were concentrated in heavily democratic states will not change the fact that it's still going to be and always was going to be a battle in swing states, and there is not a ronald reagan 49 state win candidate out there.

    how about you future senator schiff not contribute to the biden must step down media ushed bullshit story and do what the rest of the base of the party is doing and back your candidate?

  • Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race

    Jump

  • you know that for a fact, or are you just projecting?

    prosecutors are charged with proving the city or state or federal government's case against someone who has been charged with breaking the law. if congress doesn't provide extra police funding, doesn't pass more restrictive laws, doesn't backtrack on current policy, and doesn't lock more people up for non violent crimes guess what? she's not going to do that either. i don't see her going the unitary executive that a republican congress would allow a republican president to be because it sounds like she actually respects the rule of law and separation of powers.

  • Hawaii governor says Biden could decide within days whether to remain in the presidential race

    Jump

  • the trump legal team has a plan for that. they are going to sue (the swing) states that do not list biden as the democratic nominee. granted they probably won't win, but the real point of the suits is to tie all of this up in court past the point where states certify elections throwing the election to the house where the president is voted on by state delegation, not house members and there are more majority republican state delegations than there would be republicans in the house (i'm predicting that the dems win back the house if only by states having redrawn maps. remember: the house that would convene to actually count the ec votes is sworn in on january 2, meaning this house wouldn't vote on it) and trump gets elected again.

  • trump runs on a law and order message.

    frankly law and order is a bad authoritarian sounding phrase. law and justice is much more platable and less harsh.
