  • Georgia Dems Sue Kemp To Compel Him To Hold Hearing On Rogue Election Board

  • Yeah, I'll never know their hearts and minds, so it doesn't really matter compared to their actions.

    I don't mind giving them an out, personally, if they need a way to pretend they're not shitty, amoral people (i was tricked! gosh! I would never parrot obvious lies for my own advantage! I was naive!) to resolve cognitive dissonance and stop being shitty in this way. I don't blame anyone else for not giving that to them.

    They don't deserve it.

  • I'm glad they're trying to do something about that bs. The sorts of people worming into election boards scare me even more than the election itself. They believe conspiracy theories so easily.

  • Misogyny isn't just a man thing! Women participate it in (against the "bad" ones) all the time.

  • Janet Jackson tells interviewer she's heard Kamala Harris is not Black, echoing election disinformation

  • It's so easy to just look up a picture of harris' dad.

    I thought the bullshit right wing argument was that she only brought up that part of her background for political points, not the even more ludicrous argument that a black man from jamaica is actually white.

  • I get it! A friend adopted an overweight dog once, whose previous owners let free feed on cat food. Getting her to a healthy weight took a while, and everyone wants to share pet pics.

  • How do you propose we go about changing this? How do we effectively encourage it?

    I think that purely logical thought is impossible, and believing we are a logical person can lead us to assume all our opinions are logical, inherently. Which leads to using after the fact logic to justify initial gut reactions. Is that what you mean by wisdom? The ability to understand your own emotional reaction and decide if it's based on anything useful? Or is it something else?

    I think, at this point in time, celebrity culture is important to be aware of. Trump was a reality tv star, after all. I think a better world could be made if society didn't care about celebrities, but that is not where we live, and observing reality seems an important step to understanding it. And understanding it can help us determine if there is a way to alter this. If that's the goal. Is that the purpose to your questions?

  • Thanks for linking to that! Interesting. I refreshed their page and they have more to say now that it's happened.

  • People should do what they think is best, based on their own situation (region, district, needs, etc) and beliefs(what they think should happen, what they can ethically stand, etc). In this election, I think Trump is a dangerous (personally and politically) and incompetent enough figure that conservative people should deliberately throw the election to force their party in a different direction.

    My personal belief is that government is a tool, and my vote will go to the person who seems most likely to enact policy that aligns with my values.

  • I think everyone who was going to vote for trump but is feeling doubt should pick a third party candidate to vote for instead.
