I can understand, I would feel better watching a black screen than an ad trying to psychologically manipulate you in a personalized way.

Using "weird" is so absurd, the GQP would claim the same headline of their opposition. It does nothing but dumb down the argument, but maybe it does need to be dumbed down for people susceptible to bigotry and stereotypes.

That number is way too high, it should be 8 years, the maximum amount even a president is allowed to serve.

Sounds like something octopi would say.

If only. They are more like rolling SmartTVs. Once they stop getting updates, only the offline features will work.

I got one of these emails. It isn't even MFA, nothing to reply with the code to. It doesn't even say which Microsoft account, it sent it to my GMail recovery account. It's so utterly bad not being able to trace the attempt to its source. It's sus that I'm not the only one to have recently experienced this out of nowhere. Maybe it's an attempt to farm valid Microsoft emails from the way this service behaves?

Just wait until Orcas get opposable flippers.

"She's just my trophy wife, y'know" - What Vance is hinting at.

If it's not him, it will be some other clown. The GQP got to the position it is in even when it wasn't brainwashing personality cult members and it wast that bad, now it is and all it takes is a non-ideal candidate on the democratic side to let them win. Democracy in the US can no longer be retained through the popular vote.

The fifth column of generational oligarchs is just trying to find its next figurehead Hitler to take leadership and if it fails, to take the fall while they sink back into obscurity to prepare for the next round.

Ancient Greece also fell, cults and ideologies outperformed their bickering through sheer dumb single-mindedness.

It's not cryptic at all, it's rather straightforward.

He's literally prepping for a dictatorship, he has all but admitted it.

Based ... if it weren't that the fact that accounts getting banned for simply alluding to it is very real. The whole drama may be bullshit, but accounts getting banned for this isn't. It is partisan censorship inside a major social network just using the drama as an excuse.

No, in fact they would consider the doctor too "woke" for them.

Sadly, the Supreme Court has been ruling a lot of ridiculous things lately.

Sometimes I think writers just try to find things to be edgy about. The straws this grasps at it are incredible. Might as well complain from the billions of unpaid man hours people provide by providing common courtesy for free.

They've slowly grown empowered into full-on racism, so it's no wonder they also generally have no problem supporting apartheid and genocide in the Middle East.

The trick is not to kill them yourself, but have factories and animal farms do it while deluding yourself into believing that there is a humane way to killing a living being when the reality is there are only less painful ways. Also, from the other side of the aisle, the trick is to delude yourself into thinking that animals would have any problems eating and preying on you. If cattle had no place in human society, their numbers would significantly decrease. What does that say about human societies with large socioeconomic disparity who are treated by cattle by the rich as they get increasingly automated?

There's no point to this comment, it has been released into the wild so that it may be free.

If the voters that mattered bothered to look at records, there would be no Trumpers. Sadly, I feel it has to be shoved into their face in the most traditionally stereotypical matter. Harris might seem to be doing good, but here is how good Hillary was doing before she lost to Trump: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/23/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-polls/index.html

The problem isn't on the left, it's on a weighted and loaded electoral system that favors those most likely to be susceptible to misinformation.

Anyway, since it's beside the point as Harris seems pretty set, I just hope it does not play out like Hillary versus Clinton and hope that she gets elected. This times are different, but so is the degree to which people have bubbled themselves within their social networks and the most able to discern it are those who own them, who are basically in the same league as Trump and quite capable of shoving money and influence into them.

That's one thing to remember, troll factories don't just shove out the same piece of propaganda. They try disenfranchise, disinterest, and even guide the people they don't want to win towards candidates and policies they know will play into their hands. Kamala Harris is certainly a good candidate - for democrats. She's not likely to influence Trumpers, and a more traditional candidate might have been more popular with anyone who really was undecided. A better option might have been to appeal to times when politics wasn't as divided, and I have even joked that someone like John Kerry with Mitt Romney as VP would have been a sure win.
