I just decided to wait because on Election Day there is a poll 2 blocks from my house that is never that crowded, so it’s just more convenient than going to an early voting location. Another factor in that decision is to have my vote be counted on Election night because I think Indiana is going blue. We’ve already…

Okay, but let’s examine why you thought it wasn’t a good look before Election Day. Is it because she looks nice, therefore she’s selling out or whatever, or because you thought that people were going to hate on her for looking nice? Because it’s always a lose-lose situation when you’re a woman.

The democratic engine in NY has been VERY active about trying to undermine her. Incredibly and overtly so, tbh.

It seems fairly on the mark. She is just as much a threat to the established Pseudo-left machine as she is the Right, just in a different way. The Democratic party is happy to have a young, attractive woman of color out there, but not as happy when she starts pointing out the need to make much harder choices that…

So judging from the comments on here, there’s just not really a way to offer criticism of a Democratic ticket (which I’m voting for.)

This is perfect. I think the idea that voter suppression is openly talked about and there has been no meaningful legislation passed to stop it is as big of an issue as the electoral college nonsense. In 2000, Gore lost Florida because over 200,000 POC were illegally purged from the voter rolls. That an the fact that…

The comments on these articles are always completely bizarre from a non-US perspective, but I want to reassure you: you are making perfect sense. In other countries, or at least ones with functioning democracies, it is not verboten to criticise the leader of your preferred party.

I like how we commit to the only action that matters—voting Democrat—but it’s still not good enough in some people eyes. It’s almost as if those people who irrationally complain about purity tests ironically demand others to do the same towards established Democrats, without knowing if the policies I personally think…

I’m always baffled about this concept of people getting upset about wanting more from candidates during a time when they are directly trying to appeal to voters. “Hold them accountable in January.” How? They got what they wanted, thus voters have no leverage. That’s not how any of it works. There’s a reason politicians…

Wow sorry the united states doesnt have the capacity to represent the actual left. We will bitch at your milktoast centrism. Canadas conservatives are the US democrats platform wise. 

So judging from the comments on here, there’s just not really a way to offer criticism of a Democratic ticket (which I’m voting for.) You just can’t do it or you personally want Trump to reign forever. Even if it’s not so much criticism as it is personal feelings surrounding something you are told is supposed to mean…

Yes. I wouldn’t begrudge anyone their excitement over Harris’s selection. I think representation genuinely matters and is important. Also, from a purely political standpoint, she’s a great pick.

Your attitude is correct.

The Democrats had control of the House and Senate for two years. People forget that. Obama blew a historic opportunity. 

I believe her. I’m getting tired of a choice between lesser of two evils. Why don’t we elect good candidates from our primaries instead of not-as-bad as the incumbent.

I believe the woman. I don’t believe the guy with a history of being creepy towards women in public.

Liberals are throwing the “why now” attack at Tara. Which is the EXACT thing slung at Dr. Ford.

It took a lot of guts for her to come forward after the way Dr. Blasey Ford was treated and continues to get threats on her life.

I think a thing a lot of Sanders supporters, even the non-Bernie Bro types, should have figured out by now, is that shaming and guilting and harsh rhetoric at people who end up being pretty close to you ideologically is frequently counterproductive. I wish I remember who it was, but there was a thread on Twitter…

Even after the endless hand-wringing, it’s nobody learned anything from 2016. People still keep bringing up polling numbers, even though we know those don’t mean much any more. People still keep insisting that an anti-establishment candidate can’t possibly win.
