"A compilation of a politician taking care of people while also taking accountability for any issues during his leadership? Oh, the horror..." is how one person reacted.

    Keep saying stuff your hardcore republicans love while Kamala gets the votes from people on the fence who has no stomach for your extremism

    People find DEI scary because they’re worried that someone who’s incompetent or unqualified will get preference for something just based on skin color. But have you seen who anti-DEI people are picking as representatives or prefer as talking heads? People like Boebert or Greene, and any number of Trump admin officials. These people seem like they’re picked based on DEI for uneducated or unqualified conservatives. So far people of color being accused of being DEI hires have more tangible qualifications and accomplishments than the people criticizing them

    For gender affirming care wrt minors, people find it scary because they worry it’s going to ruin their child’s life because maybe their child is doing it under peer pressure etc. Well all the peer pressure in the world didn’t make gay people go away or be less gay, and it’s not going to change anything for trans people either. If you can give some kind of treatment to cis minors then it’s not bad or scary or unhealthy to give it to trans minors

    For “socialism” as a criticism. What a bunch of red scare nonsense. The Nordic countries are consistently rated as the best places to live and have high happiness scores. These countries are “socialist” by US standards. People need to educate themselves or they’ll keep creating a world where their children are constantly victimized by greed based profit incentives, and blame everything but their own choices for those outcomes.

      maybe their child is doing it under peer pressure

      It’s really hard for me to imagine somebody surgically transitioning to the opposite gender because of peer pressure. Peer pressure must be an insanely powerful force in conservatives’ lives if they think something like that is even remotely possible.

      The DEI stuff is just projection. They know that currently the system is set up where there is an automatic bias towards white people. They like that. They are afraid that if we give any minority group the opportunity, they would do the same.

      They simply can’t imagine a world with equity. If they cheat, everyone else must be cheating harder.

        I’d bet good money they hate DEI because somewhere somewhen a minority or [gasp] female was hired/promoted over them despite the other person likely being more qualified…and they’ve been blaming it ever since

        Most truly believe that it’s a quota and they’ll have to hire whoever applies that’s not white regardless. BUT many also don’t see how they could be more qualified… So a bit more racist than just bias.

    Tim Walz might be the kind of guy my dad will listen to. Here’s hoping some families are restored from this insanity.

    Harris did well to choose him. This ticket has me hopeful for a November win. And the subsequent humiliation of the traitor and felon.

      Yeah, I watched his speech at the PA rally tonight and it was excellent. The dude’s just a refreshing voice in national politics. I think he stands a great chance of delivering a lot of independents who are just looking for some common sense out of a politician.

    A politician who can admit when he’s done something wrong? No wonder fox hates him.

    I can’t wait for the next hit piece about him finding a motherless bear cub around Goshen, NY, and responsibly contacting the local wildlife rescue organization to intervene.

    Liz Skalka’s glasses are the most distracting thing I’ve seen on someone’s face, and I’ve interacted with people with penises drawn on their face while they slept.

    Of course they are pissed. He said he fucked up, acknowledging mistakes is the antithesis of being part of the GOP.

    I’m surprised she didn’t point out the bill for free school lunches he signed into law.

    I mean, how dare he feed these freeloaders.

      Is this what you want your tax money going to? Since billionaires and corporations have had their taxes all but eliminated by our party you’re the one paying for guaranteed lunches to children of parents laid off so a company has a better bottom line on their earnings and stock reports lazy freeloading libruls whose jobs were taken away by illegal immigrants hired by red-voting business owners

        And these imbeciles are always surprised when someone says “Yes, this is exactly what I want my tax money to go to.”

        Meals for children, schools, infrastructure, public transport, community centers and outreach. Not bailouts and subsidies for rich companies. That’s what I want.
