Tea time.@GottaLaff If Harris does even a fraction of what Hillary did as far as organizing in California to make calls and bus trips to other states - which she easily should, as she has a power base there - then Nevada is going to go blue by several points.
Nevada was actually far more blue in 2016 than other states, largely because of Californian volunteers helping GOTV.
@KraftTea Yes! But if she can do that in more of the swing states, it will be even better.
zemsgram@GottaLaff I don’t think this is a “honeymoon” or a blip, regardless of what the MSM is trying to convince us. I think “Harris and Walz” is just the team we needed to make things fun again. It’s been a long 8 years! Great ideas and happy people. More of this please!
@zemsgram She’ll have dips, but so far so good
👁Pooka🫣Boo🫵@GottaLaff For once, maybe conservative women are getting some sense and looking to vote in their interests as women.

The world Thiel & Vance want to create should terrify 167 million women & LGBTQ into turning out to vote like never before.

I notice sometimes you have a lot of links with one preview, and here you have links with no preview. Is there somewhere to turn previews on or off for each link as you post?

Some links don't have a preview. I'm not sure why.
Michael Gemar@Npars01 @mastodonmigration @andytiedye @lednaBM @GottaLaff It will never cease to boggle me that Thiel himself is gay, yet supports these people.
Mastodon Migration@michaelgemar @Npars01 @mastodonmigration @lednaBM @GottaLaff You figure that people like him wouldn't want to live under a theocracy, but of course they would live ABOVE it, immune to its many, many strictures, like the sheikhs of Saudi Arabia.
They choose theocracy because theocracies are immune to popular uprisings, no matter how repressive they become. When has a theocracy EVER falllen to a popular revolution? I cannot think of a single example in recorded history.
@andytiedye @michaelgemar @mastodonmigration @lednaBM @GottaLaff
Theocracy falls when people stop believing in it.
Silk Road Buddhism ended when ocean trade routes superceded it.

Catholic theocracies fell to Protestant economics.

Rory@Npars01 I'm terrified at the thought of these two pieces of sh*t coming anywhere near the Whitehouse... Jeez... At least now we know what the republican party is now...
@lednaBM Maybe. I just saw a lengthy discussion of that on... Chris Hayes show maybe? And they're not there yet, but Dems are targeting them.
Barbara Monaco@GottaLaff I have earmarked a certain sum to donate to several critical Senate candidates and one running for the House. I am far from wealthy, but can spare a small amount
for these important races. Hoping that others will help if they can.

@Barbramon1 YOu rock, Barb.
FallsMom 🌻#Ohio resident here, thanks for your consideration of our #SherrodBrown! He is essential, running against a TFG anointed luxury car salesman.
Last go round I donated to a few out of state races. Not this time. We got so little out of state support for our Tim Ryan we ended up with #JDVance in the Senate. My dollars are few but they're all for Sherrod and/or Kamala.
