Vance is the strangest political candidate we have ever seen. Women are having less babies because child car seats were invented. Families should get extra votes for each baby they have. Universities should be shut down and sold to developers.

JD Vance deliberately started the “neighbors are eating the pets” chaos. He says it is OK to lie to get people riled up.

You can’t make this stuff up. Watch this video before the debate tonight.

Rachel Maddow shows JD Vance explaining his lack of faith that democracy can deliver on his conservative ideals, and shows the influences behind Vance’s preference that the United States government be gutted and instead run by a dictator.

Jill Stein’s platform

FREE SPEECH
TikTok. 170 million Americans are on TikTok, including Biden’s campaign. The attempt to ban TikTok is nothing more than the latest assault on free speech by government and big tech through censoring and controlling the internet and social media.

TikTok is the leading platform for young people to communicate about their reality of being unable to afford rent, groceries, education and other essentials, while the worsening climate crisis looms over our future and both parties in Washington squander our money on endless war and genocide. Trying to ban TikTok is a transparent attempt to shut down this channel for us to communicate instead of solving the real problems we face.
We won’t let the elites take away one of the last remaining vehicles for free speech. We will not vote for any candidate who supports banning TikTok, and we will only support candidates who protect our free speech.

PREMISE:
The actions perpetrated against the non-military Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank constitute a crime, a crime against humanity, a war crime or Genocide. Call it what you will.

FACT
The Biden Administration and the candidates for President of the United States chosen by each of the two major political parties openly support Israel’s actions in both Gaza and the West Bank and thus are complicit in them. So say a majority of the UN General Assembly and a significant number of the Countries of the world, the UN International Court of Justice, UN Court of International Law, Scholars of International Law and many well-known scholars, such as Norman Finkelstein and Prof. John Mearsheimer and other reputable and knowledgeable individuals such as Max Blumenthal, Scott Ritter, Jeffery Sachs, Ray McGovern and Alastair Crooke to name a few.

And what can be said of those who vote for one or the other of the aforementioned candidates and their party? Will they have denied that which has been seen ad nauseam on mainstream media since October 8th, 2023, reason that such actions are justified by the right of Israel to exist or find some other rationale to justify their vote and thus become complicit themselves? Since a vote is tantamount to support, one could reasonably conclude the chain of complicity has not been broken so, indeed, the hypothetical voter would surely be complicit.

A prudent voter would, when determining whether to vote for a candidate, determine that candidate held the voter’s basic principles.

Further, if a liberal Democrat or other Democrat holding some liberal views, they would decry racism in any form. Since genocide is racism in its most vile and virulent form, how could said voter cast a vote, say, for the present democratic presidential candidate without violating a basic principle of liberalism and thus becoming complicit in genocide?

Since the Republican Party’s candidate also supports Israel’s actions against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, this same question could be posed to a conservative Republican voter, providing they decry racism in its varying forms.

This scenario provides both major parties with a conundrum … one which calls for the voter to remain true to their basic principles or allow the policies of their Party or Party’s candidate to supersede them. It is times like these that try one’s faith and resolution.

Why I’m voting Harris, with reluctance I’m down with Chuck in that Jill Stein is the morally correct choice in the fast-approaching election. And I agree with Chappell Roan that “both sides” have problems. So I will vote for Harris this time, because, unlike her opponent, she has not proclaimed LOUDLY that she will be a dictator and she is not an out mobster/rapist/fabulist/insurrectionist.
Harris will likely restore women’s rights to the degree they can be restored, for those courageous enough to dodge the bullets. She will preserve professionalism in federal agencies, which her opponent has vowed to destroy. The endless, expanding wars will continue, with full US taxpayer support and an approaching military draft, irrespective of who “wins”. Harris continues to be an ardent supporter of Israeli state fascism. Greenwashing will continue as the earth burns. Any sort of resistance to oppression and state violence is being squelched, and it appears Harris is OK with that. Her opponent openly threatens earth protectors and peace advocates with imprisonment and death.
So yeah, I’m voting for Harris, but not because I have any notion that the Democratic Party is benign or altruistic. It’s because her opponent is so obviously seriously impaired and very dangerous.
