These are just polls, so vote!

Hopefully these trends will inspire people in states that have been consistently red that a flip this election is possible!

      It kind of does yea. Hey, be hopeful, help your neighbor, and the future is bright is a much better message than “we hate everyone”

        People have real concerns that the party refuses to address. No amount of yelling at them will generate enthusiasm if their concerns are being ignored. “Shut up and be happy” is not a compelling message. It’s just the laziest, bluntest form of toxic positivity.

          I don’t know if you were paying attention this week, probably not by sounds of it, but Kamala did indeed go through the platform in her acceptance speech.

          She addressed said concerns for better or worse depending on your world view…and wrapped it in a bow of hope.

          I’ll take toxic positivity over regular toxicity every day of the week.

            So, the speech she gave after my comment. She certainly reaffirmed her support for Netanyahu.

              Well…vote for Trump then and see how it turns out for Palestine I guess.

                I wonder if centrists will ever understand that it’s possible to be upset about genocide while still voting for Democrats.

                Can you even imagine opposing genocide at all?

                  Kamala said exactly what she needed to say. We will support Isreal’s right to defend it’s self. We will absolutely not condone Isreal’s treatment of Palestine, and we will do everything in our power to stop the war.

                  It’s what I wanted her to say, and she said it.

                  Great…let’s get it done and move on.

                    Except withhold weapons.

                    Of course she said what you wanted her to say, nothing she said indicates that she will do anything to stop the genocide that you downplay by calling it a war.
