did you read the article?
came from snopes.com not foxnews.com
do fact checkers not matter to Democrats either?
what matters is Harris said it to show solidarity to the workers in the US to garner their votes
no matter what party the candidate is from if they are willing to lie to the voters what else would they lie about
Walz overfunding police so they would manhandle protesters that are against an oil pipeline but coming out as an environmentalist is the same thing too
matters who we put in office, and they should be held to a high standard
this is supposedly the webstore and it looks to be selling the MIG now with fast shipping for anyone who wants to verify
Rinderle bought My Shadow Is Purple – a picture book “featuring a student who does not conform to gender stereotypes” – at a Scholastic book fair, according to plaintiffs’ response to the motion to dismiss. Scholastic recommends the book for five-to-eight-year-olds. The teacher of more than a decade chose the title “because of its anti-bullying message”, according to the amended complaint, reported on by the Guardian in July. Her class voted on books for a morning “read-aloud” session and nine of 15 students chose the 32-page book.
Two days after the reading session, one parent and then another emailed complaints to the school’s principal. The second called “anything in the genre of ‘LGBTQ’ and ‘queer’ … divisive”. The principal forwarded the emails to the school district’s central office. Within five days, on 13 March of last year, the county suspended Rinderle. By August, the school district fired the teacher of more than 10 years.
this is why the US will never be progressive or have any modern policies and laws
we bully any dissidents into irrelevance and submission going as far as throwing the victim into poverty
Either vote Democrat or Republican because you are not allowed in the US to speak out against the two ruling parties or there are consequences
voting just Democrat and promoting that party's agenda alone will not produce the results the citizens need
either we revolt against the two-party sham, or we stay trapped in the mire
because Democrats and Republicans are bedmates out to enrich their own coffers
neither of the "two" parties is for the people
been an issue all over the US and is not being addressed
my local town does a magazine with just mugshots, and it is sold at gas stations
until the US removes the far right, police loving government officials and leaders this practice is likely to continue

Kamala Harris does not support Medicare For All
Jump
Democrats acting Republican is fact no matter what the headlines are
Harris does not support Medicare for all and neither did Biden
he said it to get votes not because he meant it during the last campaign
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris_2024_presidential_campaign
Healthcare
Harris has supported efforts to strengthen coverage under the Affordable Care Act,[106] including setting caps on seniors' out-of-pocket prescription drug prices at $2,000 and limiting the cost of insulin for those on Medicare to $35 enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.[117] Harris has been a proponent of White House efforts to ban medical debt from credit reports.[125] Harris has stated she no longer supports a single-payer healthcare system.[106]
right wing border policies, no raising the minimum wage, no women's rights, more police funding, nothing done about the environment, no universal healthcare here we come
would have motivated a lot of non and undecided voters if Obama and Biden both would have followed through when he campaigned on his progressive platforms but instead the Democrats are redder every election cycle
just like raising the minimum wage was talked about a decade ago too
both parties are paid too much by the MegaCorps to pass anything that would help
just like the factories that get tax breaks because they hire people does not translate to people making living wages
Flint needed help a decade ago and still does
https://www.britannica.com/event/Flint-water-crisis
Flint water crisis, human-made public health crisis (April 2014–June 2016) involving the municipal water supply system of Flint, Michigan. Tens of thousands of Flint residents were exposed to dangerous levels of lead, and outbreaks of Legionnaire disease killed at least 12 people and sickened dozens more.
https://truthout.org/articles/the-2024-presidential-election-may-slow-plans-to-replace-lead-pipes/
The proposal from the Biden administration builds on different rules put out in the waning days of the Trump term that allowed up to 30 years for service line replacement, triggered only when lead levels test higher than 15 parts per billion. The new proposal, which would largely supplant the Trump rules, calls for stricter monitoring, enhanced public education, and the 10-year pipe replacement mandate regardless of lead levels.
An October deadline looms for the new rules to be adopted; otherwise, enforcement of the less-stringent Trump administration rules will begin. And complicating matters more: November’s election results could shake up whose rules the nation must follow.
While many cities and states have begun to replace their lead pipes, some utilities and officials say the 10-year time frame is unfeasible and too expensive. They say it would be difficult for water utilities to follow the rules while dealing with new EPA limits on five PFAS contaminants, known as “forever chemicals,” and failing pipes, among other issues.
increasing stock does not mean prices will magically go down and cool the inflation
living wages, pushing for fixed mortgage rates, pushing for nondiscriminatory banking policies nationwide, increasing the education budget are things that do that
increasing the number of overpriced houses instead of fighting for the people to have living wages is not helping
and all these homes would require the roads to be torn up and repiped
where is that budget? is places like Flint going to finally get the nonlead pipes?
logistics were not expanded on in the article
what about the already over stressed water table here in the US?
impact studies seem to be a thing of the past when it comes to new construction
even the article linked in the article mentions nothing about anything that would actually go towards solving the issues at hand
and in this statement
In her speech, Harris offered stark contrasts with Trump’s economic proposals, including his call for steep tariffs on foreign goods. She said that her opponent “wants to impose what is, in effect, a national sales tax on everyday products and basic necessities that we import from other countries.”
Biden and Harris has been doing steep tariffs that amount to more the citizens have to pay for goods
every election cycle makes it more obvious that neither party have our interests at heart
being under threat your life will be tossed like a jail cell is a typical viable threat for anyone in the US and no matter who wins the election this year police are sure to win as always with funding aplenty
Fauci recovering at home after being hospitalized with West Nile virus, spokesperson says | PBS News
Jump
CBS News’ chief medical correspondent, Dr. Jonathan LaPook, wrote in a social media post that he spoke Saturday with Fauci, who said he was likely infected from a mosquito bite that he got in his backyard.
There are no vaccines to prevent West Nile, or medicines to treat it. As of Aug. 20, the CDC had recorded 216 cases in 33 states this year. It’s best prevented by avoiding mosquito bites.
would be challenging to avoid all mosquito bites

wonder what tyrant will be propped up next so the Democrats will again have to be voted in to stop it
and what are the Democrats focusing on? just Trump/fascist tyrants?
and this is why our "democracy" is in shambles
nobody bothers to read articles because they automatically assume it will paint their candidate in the wrong light even when there is a fact checking bot to let you if it is worth the read

Governor Walz also appointed Republican John Tuma to the Public Utilities Commission, one of the primary agencies with regulatory oversight over the pipeline. While approving Line 3, the PUC required Enbridge to reimburse law enforcement agencies for all expenses incurred while policing protests against the pipeline. Tuma stated that the “whole idea came to me thanks to Enbridge.” During construction of Line 3 in 2020-2021, nearly 100 different law enforcement agencies from around Minnesota received a combined $8.6M from Enbridge. They made over 1000 arrests of protestors who were peacefully opposing the pipeline. While making these arrests, law enforcement deployed physical violence, chemical weapons, ‘pain compliance’ torture techniques, LRAD noise devices, K9 units, and had a border patrol helicopter descend on a protest of over one thousand, rotor washing everyone in potentially harmful drilling dust.
It should come as no surprise that two of the biggest recipients of this law enforcement funding were the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP), and the DNR. The subsequent approval of pipeline permits by DNR constituted a major conflict of interest.
This isn’t a single-issue critique though. Walz’s record on political issues beyond Line 3 deserves further scrutiny as well. The distressing lean into state-sponsored violence and oppression we witnessed around Line 3 was echoed during other pivotal moments during Walz’s tenure as Governor. For example, in 2020, the Minnesota State Patrol and DNR law enforcement officers invaded Minneapolis, along with the Minnesota National Guard, at the behest of Walz in order to crack down on the racial justice uprising following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police. Along with Minneapolis police, they exhibited violent behavior while specifically targeting journalists and medics. This violence was reflected in Walz’s disturbingly authoritarian rhetoric:
In 2021, Walz had the Minnesota State Patrol join Brooklyn Center police in aggressively deploying chemical weapons and munitions near the homes of families in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota to violently suppress protesters after the police murdered Daunte Wright. Walz once again looked to his former colleagues at the Minnesota National Guard and verbally retaliated against working class union members for not allowing the military members and humvees at their Union Hall in St. Paul:
This also wasn’t the only time Walz went against the labor movement. During the 2022 Minneapolis Teachers strike, he turned his back on them, not supporting the strike despite himself being a former teacher, and later coordinating with management. Then in 2023, he exempted the State’s largest hospital from union-backed nurse staffing and safety legislation. Finally, in 2024, Walz vetoed legislation that would have raised the minimum wage for rideshare drivers.
this is what people are protesting about the US arming Israel, police reform, and higher wages just to name a few
and it looks like Walz is actively against progress just like Harris disregarding the protesters at the convention
so only Republicans need to be held to a standard but not Democrats because of Trump?
not to mention Walz got the police extra funding to put the boot to protesters and under federal approval under then President Trump in a bipartisan effort
