Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 07/02/2024 - 12:41pmAfter giving it some thought I've come to the conclusion that the presidential debate kind of does represent our political establishment. Sure, the American people deserve better than this, but this isn't about the American people. This is about our political system and our political system is hopelessly broken.
So watching a geriatric lifetime politician debate a professional conman felon is an accurate reflection of our political system.

Submitted by enhydra lutris on Tue, 07/02/2024 - 9:17amShould you fail to vote for joe Biden, the savior of democracy, the effects will be disastrous. Not the least repercussion will be 4 years of Russiagate 2.0. Imagine Rachael Maddow and Noted Expert on Russian Election Interference-HER alternating 24-7 on all mainstream media. Do you think you can handle that? Even if you could, would you want to? And what about the children? Think about the children.
That's all (folks).

Submitted by bondibox on Mon, 07/01/2024 - 11:33pmFriends, can we have a word? I think you know what this is about. All you Republican voters y'all go outside and play now, this doesn't concern you.
Former Democratic friends (in which 'former' refers to my voter registration and not our friendship), I wasn't going to say anything about this, but something Rep. James Clyburn said on Sunday has pushed me over the edge.
