TRUE STORY:
My conservative brother-in-law: "Want some milk?"
Me: "No thanks, I don't drink cow milk anymore."
Him: "Oh, right. You probably drink SOY milk, don't ya?"
Me: "I drink almond milk sometimes, but I don't like cow milk."
Him: "What do you have against cow milk?"
Me: "Too much estrogen in it. It gives you man titties."
Him: (grabs his phone to do his own research)
Me: (waiting patiently)
Him: "Is almond milk any good?"
Me: "Yeah, it's great on cereal."

I don't ask for much...

Get rid of the Electoral College (one citizen, one vote)

Fix the Primary process (give us ranked choice voting)

Term limits all around (no more lifers)

Universal voting registration (in every state)

Mail in voting for no reason (in every state)

Count the votes as they come in (not on Election day)

Get the $$$ out of politics (end Citizens United)

Look to other countries for solutions (guns and healthcare)

...for a start. 🇺🇸

"I supported Trump in 2016 and 2020, but I won't do it today."

Really, Sharon? What was the straw that broke you? The racism wasn't enough? The 'locker room' talk wasn't enough? The mishandling of COVID wasn't a deal-breaker? Exactly when did you pull your head out of your ass? 🤔

TRUMP MADNESS
'The Bracket of Shame'

#USpol #Trump #OctoberSurprise

I don't think it can be overstated how much SNL can influence public opinion when it comes to politics. I was waiting to see how they handled the political climate and they did not disappoint. The stark differences between rallies were a hilarious way to show the people how ridiculous it is that this race is still close. 🤔

#USpol #SNL #Trump #HarrisWalz2024

If you believe Elon Musk should be in charge of the government's 'efficiency,' then vote for #Trump. If you think the man who destroyed #Twitter by cutting 'extra' costs and firing all but the most loyal employees should be allowed to do the same to the American government, the vote for Trump. There's never been more at stake this time. 🇺🇸

#USpol #ElonMusk #Election2024 #HarrisWalz2024

All is right in the world. 😅

Jesus Christ, #HurricaneHelene is no joke, fueled heavily by 'abnormally hot Gulf waters.' Thank you #ClimateChange. We need a president who will fund FEMA, because it's going to become a VERY important department over the next several years. 🌪️ #USpol

'Recent Polls Suggest a Harris/Walz Landslide.' 🌊

I cannot allow myself this kind of peace of mind right now. Between the basket of deplorables, the weirdos who were gonna vote for #RFK, the far left who think another #Trump term is what we deserve (hoping it will guarantee a progressive will win next time), and the anarchists and disenfranchised who are just annoyed that they have to keep hearing about all this 'election stuff' ... I just can't breathe easy yet. 🇺🇸

#USpol #HarrisWalz2024

So, I ask the #Mastodonians: Does this kind of attention work better than sitting down with CNN? Does this kind of viral video work better than answering stupid questions about #Trump? Does this kind of normal moment do anything to continue the narrative that the other side is just 'weird' and her side is the most relatable? I would argue that it does. 🤔

#USpol #HarrisWalz2024

So, I'm following all of the legit news sources over here, but I still can't seem to break my habit of getting 'BREAKING' news from #Xitter. I don't bother posting over there, but I check it constantly.

Who can I follow here to make my #Mastodon feed just as up-to-date on what's happening in the world as other social media sites? Is it even there yet? Is it possible to turn your feed here into the only feed you'll ever need? 🤔

Translation:
We are going to arbitrarily and artificially suppress large accounts and boost selective smaller accounts that fit the narratives we want, to push curated propaganda ahead of an election.

Anyway, remember that time the roast of Rob Lowe turned into the roast of Ann Coulter? 😅

And there lies the problem...

You see the release of hostages as ONLY helping Israel. HAMAS releasing the hostages means a ceasefire. They aren't going to stop until the last 72 (I think) people are released.

Having people speak at the love fest isn't going to change that. Biden is on the phone every day trying to get a cease fire before the election. Trust in that.

@guyjantic @jacklaridian
No, I think we agree that Joe should stop sending them bombs. He's not going to do that because he wants to stay in the good graces with Netanyahu. I thoroughly disagree with how he's handling this mess, but be clear that he's not doing NOTHING.

More importantly, I'm sick of people blaming Kamala for Joe's failed policies. The VP has no power, outside of being the deciding vote in Congress. This is HER moment and if she doesn't win, Gaza is toast.

@guyjantic @jacklaridian
Think about it like this...

Americans vote on vibes. The DNC is a 'good vibe' place where Joe Biden gets a 10 min ovation for 'having the courage' to step down. Whatever.

It's good for the election that the DNC stays a love fest, which excludes voices that are going to hold his feet to the fire.

So let Biden continue his half-assed fight to get a cease fire before the election. The next administration can go after Bibi for war crimes.. and Biden, for that matter.

@altruios
Who are you talking to? Didn't you just hear what she said about Gaza?

@altruios
So, you're mad at Joe. Don't take it out on her. She isn't in charge yet.

@altruios
You mean when she said, 'I'm speaking' or when she addressed the matter directly?

"President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity. Security. Freedom. And self-determination."

@guyjantic
No one is ignoring Palestine. They are literally fighting to get the hostages released every day.
