    The very first thing I learned about Kamala was that she’s a prosecutor, and I immediately told my wife I’m not voting for a ticket with a prosecutor on it. I guess I’m a little different than these nerds.

            Honestly thinking this was believable, let alone likely, shows a lot about Harris.

          where did you hear this? that doesn’t match the details of any of the 13 victims of the state of california since it resumed murdering people by death penalty in 1992, and prior to that harris wasn’t a prosecutor, yet.

          she’s a ghoul, to be sure, and defended the constitutionality of the death penalty in california on the grounds that it takes too long to deliver “justice” to victims by murdering people, rather than for any reason that would betray a shred of humanity. but i don’t think this particular story of yours is true.

              There’s also Ricky Ray Rector

              For his last meal, Rector requested and received a steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, and pecan pie. As noted above, Rector left the pie on the side of the tray, telling the corrections officers who came to take him to the execution chamber that he was “saving it for later.”

              …

              Despite Rector’s mental state, then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton made a point of returning to Arkansas to oversee Rector’s January 24, 1992, execution during the 1992 U.S. presidential election campaign.

            Might even mixed up separate incidents, since I can’t find a hint of such an event. There’s a bunch of articles talking about her position of the death penalty, and they all mention the same things two: she promised not to pursue the death penalty as a DA and held to her promise even against a cop killer, but then as attorney general she appealed and won a case that initially ruled California’s death penalty unconstitutional.

          Mod deleted my post to prevent me from living in shame. I’m now confused about it, too. I swear it was a talking point during the 2019 primaries going into the 2020 election. Now whenever I search, I can’t find anything that isn’t from 2024.

          Maybe I’ve been bamboozled (again).

      As a convicted drug felon whose local DA went on to become a corrupt governor, I reel at the “felon” pejorative that libs now seem to relish in. You can have a discussion with them about the PIC, the doubling of the prison population over a 2 decade period, and all sort of other stuff and they will nod along and even agree and then turn around and still assume all felons are bad and we need to support our cops. It’s the same shit with “terrorist” for those who lived through the Bush era and saw the term cynically deployed as cover for wars which saw a million people murdered and an entire region sent into disarray reflexively respond credulously whenever the term is used to justify a new genocidal campaign.

      *Ha! I used the word “corrupt”, another loaded term that is often weaponized in the same manner. Really said governor was just doing standard governor stuff that most all politicians do in bourgeois democracy.

      Someone dug up an old tweet from around the 2020 primaries where she was bragging about prosecuting sex criminals like Donald Trump.

      No way she can use that now considering it could be directed at Democrats too, including one former and one current president.

        I was actually thinking about this with like the terminally online reddit dorks that act like it’s “the most important election of our lives”. It only seems to be like that online but no one seems to care that the grass touchers are still gonna vote regardless. I could vote as hard as possible for Harris but I’m in motherfucking Texas. It’s going to Trump. I should be allowed to throw away my vote as a treat. Sorry the nerds that wanna call our system a “democracy” wanna make themselves mad about it.

      perpetual infantilisation by boomers coupled with early exposure to unregulated internet damaged us.

      Leave us alone, bagging out generational groups for silly and harmless quirks is cringe. Making fun of millenial slang is just as dorky as millenials mocking gen z haircuts as if we didn’t do skinny jeans.

      Early voting, majority white Republican county in Georgia (most gerrymandered, most corrupt election committee in the country). Try that in inner city Atlanta though kiryu-pain

    How can you spend 20 minutes on early voting? Do you have to wait for them to layout and print your ballot first?

      There’s three hour lines in some places to early vote.

      Imagine waiting in line for HOURS to endorse… genocide

      When I hear “adulting” I translate it to “providing unpaid reproductive labor” and I start Marxisting at them
