@GottaLaff I live in . I don't think Trump is the risk some pundits are saying he is. We have our fair share of MAGA nut jobs, but they are still the minority. The candidate to campaign against is Sam Brown for Senate running against Jacky Rosen. Plus we have no less than 2 Moms for Liberty school board Trustee candidates who have advanced to the general with narrow margins. CCSD is the 5th largest school district in the nation. We don't want those women on board. and

I know it can feel like voting doesn't make a difference, but governments of all stripes don't care about people who don't vote.

For example:

Young people don't tend to vote. So student grants were dropped in favour of loans, and now students pay tuition fees.

Old people do tend to vote, so they got triple-locked pensions.

GRETA SCACCHI: “Why don’t you fire her?”

HARRISON FORD: “Civil servants. They’re here forever.”

Under Project 2025–Orange Felon34 will fire ALL civil servants in federal government. Black people are disproportionately represented in civil service.

As a YouTube comment read: “this is no longer about Trump’s character. It’s about ours.”

I’ve said this previously—specifically that these elections really come down to whether people who vote for someone have decency and morality in their hearts.

Eugene Robinson:

It is irresponsible to obsess over Pres ’s tendency to mangle a couple of words in a speech while is out there sounding detached from reality. Biden, who is old, at least makes sense. Trump, who also is old, rants like someone you’d cross the street to avoid.

Also during the speech, tried to deny the allegation by…ret Gen , that he refused in 2018 to visit an American cemetery in France, saying it was filled w/ “suckers & losers.” Trump told the crowd, “only a psycho or a crazy person or a very stupid person” [accurate] would say such a thing while “I’m standing there w/generals & military people in a cemetery.”
But he wasn’t “standing there” w/anybody. He never went to the cemetery.
Except in his mind, perhaps….

I don't like passion in . That gives us cults like . To me every should be a cold calculation. That's an ideal society, to me

If enough people vote tactically, they can move a party in the direction they want, until they get a candidate worthy of love

Trump's team is more focused so far on building a sprawling network of "" & than on rounding up organizers & door knockers to reach voters.

Today I will be voting in the EU parliament elections.

In a world where Putin threatens Europe, and too few countries take the climate challenge seriously, electing the most qualified people to lead our way through the hard challenges is important like never before.

Let us send the EU in the right direction — lookup your candidates and go vote!
