MODERATORS
On behalf of the rest of the world, can I just say thank you to the democrats for getting themselves sorted out and getting into a state where they could beat the gibbering orange gibbon.
I'm sure the DNC will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Let's get Hilary, she'll know what to do! And Debbie!
My new big fear is not that the democrats will fumble this, it’s that they will not anticipate that republicans are trying to make it so election officials (read: election deniers) can refuse to certify the election. If neither candidate gets to 270 votes, the Republican controlled house picks the president.
I for one would welcome UN election oversight (is that the right term?), it'd be a great kick in the balls to Orange Julius if Biden brought them in
“They brought in foreigners to steal the election!”
They're gonna find something to bitch about regardless, might as well give election rules some teeth to nip it in the bud.
I suppose if you assume the worst will always happen, you'll never be disappointed.
Hahaha, true. Really though, I am simultaneously energized to vote for Harris and wary of the DNC's incompetence.
You're either right or pleasantly surprised. Win win
I admit, I do generally take that attitude with movies. "This is going to suck" works pretty well.

The most urgent foreign policy issue right now is the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. I would say that walz did not display "big dad energy" when he refused to meet with Palestinian families from his state to discuss possible solutions (he was willing to meet, but only to listen and "bear witness" to their stories. That was the extent of his support)
Wow let me get my seatbelt on before you start swerving around.
