Even former GOP officials want you to vote. Vote.gov if you're not registered yet, today is a great day to do it!

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

And if you are registered, a great day to verify.

Someone from my family was just purged due to unverifiable address. Of course, they mailed her a notification of this, and she hasn't moved since the last presidential election, and has voted since. Oh, and she's registered as a Democrat in a Republican -led state.

Can’t wait for every dumbass that calls themselves “aN aGiTaToR uwu” comes to tell us all how this is the worst thing ever and the Democratic Party is just blue fascism and we should all organize a write in campaign for whatever zero name recognition candidate they’ve decided they like this week. Anyway, when’s morning time in Russia?

Anyway, when’s morning time in Russia?

Depending on who you ask, around 6:00am

Right now it's 8:06 PM in Moscow. So when this comment gets 10-12 hours old, that's the time.

It's funny that only the ones who left the party are willing to put their names to this. What does Cheetus have on them?

Scratch that. What does Russia have on them?

Like Upton Sinclair said, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." Once they're out of the party, they can't be fired or voted out for saying it.

Also, they're spineless.

The truly scary part of all this. Is that this endorsement is a black mark in the eyes of leftist, progressives Etc. And in the eyes of the monster the GOP created. It's vindication. And confirmation of their beliefs. As these people who lied to them and use them now jump ship. It doesn't matter that Trump is also lying to them and using them. He hasn't abandoned them yet in terms of his rhetoric.

I’m waiting for 4 out of 5 dentists to agree that Harris should be the he next president.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, the news will report it as 1 out of 5 dentists disagree with Harris being president.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

10% of dentists prefer a third party! (10% of dentists want you to eat rocks your call on if they are the same 10%)
