hotness :D

hahahaha i like her, she’ sharp and quick on her feet and well informed, although i thought her platform of “i was a prosecutor” was a bad one, and she could have gone farther on her own with a better campaign manager. and now i’d love to see her debate trumpy’s humble lapdog, pens.

prepare of course for the barrage of racism and mysogyny and the setting impossible standards by deplorable trumpfederates in 3, 2, 1...

I’m voting for Biden/Harris, obviously, but I’m not over the moon about it.

There’s this narrative among the kids on twitter that Biden is Trump’s equal in evil. It’s disheartening, mostly because Biden’s not … y’know … great

Personally, I believe Karmala is despised equally by the left and right!

in the best of all possible worlds he might not be enough, but compared to the current kakistocracy he’s a saint and a sage and a hero, plus he won the primary, so.... he’s the one.

someone should tell the twitter kids that if they wanted bernie to win they should have voted in the primaries.

If the Democrats had really looked at the optics of the current global situation, picking the cop probably isn't the smartest move.

Actually, in Finnish, kamala means "horrible". So to people in Upper Michigan and the Lake Superior shorelines of Wisconsin and Minnesota, Biden just nominated "Horrible Harris"!


And in plain English Trump means Fart

Also note that finnish is one of only 4 European languages that didn't evolve from Proto-Indo-European, and so has no relevance to the meaning of anything in any Asian language. In Sanskrit, which is Proto-Indo-European, and which evolved into Hindi, Urdu and other Indian languages, it meant "lotus".

Ayaan Hirsi Ali calls out Biden for quoting Muhammad pronouncing Sharia law in remarks to Muslim voters

'Joe Biden should come out and apologize profusely to the American people,' Ali tells Tucker Carlson
By Angelica Stabile | Fox News

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden quoted the Muslim prophet Muhammad pronouncing Sharia law during an address to Muslim voters last month, Hoover Institution research fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali told “Tucker Carlson Tonight" Tuesday.

Carlson played several clips from the July 20 remarks, in which Biden vowed to end Trump's "Muslim ban on day one" of his administration and stated, "I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith. I wish we talked about all the great confessional faiths."

According to Ali, elsewhere in his speech, Biden said, "'If you see something wrong' -- and he quotes the Prophet Muhammad -- 'use your hand. If you can't use your hand, use your tongue and if you can't use your tongue, use your heart.'" What he's basically doing from that point onwards is enforcing Sharia law and it is vigilantism on steroids.

“If you’re a Muslim, [if] you grew up within Islam trying to reform it, or [are] just a good American Muslim, you’re being confronted with ... a candidate for a major political party who’s basically saying 'Let’s enforce Sharia law,” Ali went on. “I’m with him on 'Let’s fight [anti-Muslim] discrimination, we should not be bullying Muslim children' ... but I don’t know who puts these words in his mouth and I’m alarmed.”

The Somali-born Ali, who has left the Muslim faith and is now an atheist, explained that Sharia law is based on the concept of “commanding right and forbidding wrong,” which she told Carlson she “cannot believe” Biden is promoting in the year 2020.

“I understand Joe Biden doesn’t know what he’s doing and I think most Americans don’t,” she said. “But he does have a campaign team… Joe Biden should come out and apologize profusely to the American people, especially to those American Muslims who have adopted and embraced the foundational principles of America.”

If he did so, she added, he would show a “great trait of leadership”.

However, she added, “this group of people ... who lured him into saying these things, I know that they are part of the Islamist groups -- we call them the Muslim Brotherhood, I do know that the people who look after him, the campaign team, were not on red alert and that they didn’t stop him from saying this type of thing.”

There’s this new trend of adopting extremely far-left positions and accusing anyone who’s not a socialist of being a “liberal” (which now means, basically, racist/capitalist/the enemy, all the things modern alt-right conservatives are) and it’s legitimately horrifying.

Some of the younger generation has gone so far “left” that they’ve started buying into actual, like, Russian propaganda, trading one extreme for another. I’m not sure if it’s just reactionary teen stuff, but holy hell. I certainly hope these people can’t vote.

they can vote, but they never do. they just tweet tweet tweet...

this is why biden won over bernie. older black women do show up at the polls.

i'm a liberal btw, not a bolshevik, so there's my bias.

tw2113 08.12.2020 12:14 PM

I'm still generally amused at how hard "register to vote" gets hammered on to people but not "show up to vote too!". I also find it interesting that it's both hammered on everyone by liberals, and republicans don't seem to need to beat that drum.

Bytor Peltor 08.12.2020 05:49 PM

Why would FaceBook need to block: KamalaHarris(dot)info

 













You can’t support BLM and the Biden/Harris ticket......can you?

low income people usually have a harder time showing up to vote.

vote by mail should fix that.

Indeed, but I mostly see this on social media, and while I'm sure there's plenty of low income people there too, I don't think they're ALL there.

i dont look much at social media (cesspool, lol) so ive got no idea. but some people just dont give a shit about voting, think voting wont make a difference in their lives, etc. there’s also learned helplessness.

Stick to policies if you want to be taken seriously. Not that you ever were, like.
