Yes, I also know they held rallies and self identified as nazis

I don't think anyone doubted this. Harris/Walz is a pro-politician anti-fascist ticket. I think we're just looking for a sense of normalcy.

Never. I hold no views anywhere close to that, I just want words to be accurately applied.

Awe did I get downvoted? Boohoo.

The word is over used. This man is a racist piece of trash, but not a Nazi. Actual Nazis and White Supremacists exist.

When did he call for violence? It sounded like he just wanted them to shelter illegals.

It would help if you didn't exaggerate. He has invaded no country and installed no gas chambers. He is a racist fascist at best. That word shouldn't be thrown around so easily.

Oh, I thought this thread was about a poll between Harris and Trump

Only if people are allowed to vote when they show up

It only matters in the swing states. The ones where they're trying to purge the voter registrations, sometimes successfully. The system is broken.

I'm always impressed that they stayed still long enough to get their picture taken.

No doubt answered with "we're a family here" nonsense, all while the company makes record profits and the executives get compensated with a giant bag of cash. Yuck.

An elephant toothpaste volcano, of porn.

Vance is like a Dollar Store version of Trump. He looks like the same product, he tells the same lies, but the parts aren't all there. He's a grifter but he's not in the same league as The Donald, he even looks like he's in pain when he lies.

It looks real to me. Either that or someone put in an enormous amount of effort into creating 271 pages of FUD, only to leak it in a way that the media will suppress the content.

I think it would be hilarious if someone bought it, kept the same design, and told the truth.

Oh thanks, NPR is really good at dumbing down pop music for me.

Good... but also I have no idea who that is 👴

I struggle with the idea that "real money", even as crypto, needs to be centralized and easily tracked. It's not just about crime, it's about privacy. The federal reserve doesn't need to know the movements of every single individual. If I lend you $10, and you don't pay me back, it's both embarrassing for me and embarrassing for you, but we're good friends and this is just between us. Maybe you could provide that sort of anonymity on a relational database, but it doesn't have to be centralized. The blockchain tech gets faster and faster and not everyone has to be a full node, they could just run it at banks, maybe even with a bridge to other systems.

Anyway, I understand where people are coming from, blockchain was ruined by cryptobros and scammers. It's not an inherently evil idea, it may be inadequate in speed as compared to Visa, but the idea that I could take the middleman out of any business while still having common listings, and make it a conversation between a supplier and consumer is fundamentally good. We do not need Sabre or Expedia taking 15% of every hotel or airline booking. We do need Uber's secret pricing on rideshares. Very little value is added by middlemen in those transactions, where, in the end, the reputation of the provider is paramount- and yes, things can be set up so that provider can be vetted by third parties. The promise of blockchain is not NFTs, it's freedom to do business in a different way, and some of the limiting factors holding it back are the lack of clear regulations for the industry, and a trusted stablecoin network.
