Hmm idk Biden's terrible I/P handling really did a number on that. I don't think a VP should suffer for their President's mistakes but what I think doesn't matter. It's what the average voter thinks. 1

For the record I still don't buy it. 1

BOTH RFK and Jill Stein made me nervous.

GhostBox Posted October 1 Posted October 1 6 minutes ago, Jackson said: Those tweets that were like "I wonder if anyone is President right now" while the floods were literally STILL HAPPENING Do they blame Biden for causing the hurricane or something? And then people were complaining "I'm not seeing any coverage of this" like get out of your twitter echo chamber and turn on the tv Yea it's insane. legit question for those in here trying to make the hurricane recovery efforts a bad things for Biden/Harris is what do you want them to do? 💀 they administration has did everything it can to send resources to the states. Even before the storm happened. spreading the rights fake outrage and trumps lies around isn't helping anything or anyone 1

Honestly feels like some of yall are reading to many right wing Twitter pages that are like "WHERES JOE AND KAMALA WHERES FEMA!!!!" 💀 Public perception of the efforts matters almost as much as the actual efforts themselves. There's still an unfortunate amount of people who think nothing is being done which is worrisome 1

Honestly feels like some of yall are reading to many right wing Twitter pages that are like "WHERES JOE AND KAMALA WHERES FEMA!!!!" 💀 The problem is that if people perceive that the administration isn't doing enough, that could still hurt Kamala in the election even if that perception isn't based in truth. False narratives that start on Twitter can spin out of control (look at the Haitians eating cats thing). JD Vance will probably bring it up in the VP debate tonight, and there isn't going to be any fact-checking from the moderators.
Prisoner Posted October 1 Posted October 1 We all know israel wants a trump win. The same goes with russia. It's time to campain. Send postcards, convince a friend, go blue blue blue. This is a very essential election 2
woohoo Posted October 1 Posted October 1 So my question is, since Americans are too stupid to not elect trump, if they start throwing migrants and gay people in camps can nato or the UN step in and do anything to help us? Like trump is a vengeful bastard and evil, we're so ****** if he wins.

I was talking with a friend earlier about podcasts and how almost all of the top 10 podcasts are right-wing pushed podcasts who spew conspiracy theories daily. Comparing that to years ago when it used to be mostly pop culture, true crime, some news in the top 10. Disinformation really needs to be looked into. 3
Prisoner Posted October 1 Posted October 1 (edited) I was not even this invested in my own country's election earlier this year. This is way too crucial an election. Vote blue you atrl gays, especially you white undecided ones, the poc are already voting blue Edited October 1 by Prisoner 1

Yup the right wing disinformation campaign has picked up alot of steam. I mean I can't tell you how many people I saw on Facebook post that Harris had "microphone ear rings in her ear" during the debate 💀😂

Like i know from my own experience of living in disaster prone central Oklahoma (and basically down the road from both the 1999 and 2013 E/F5 Moore tornadoes) how relief efforts can't always be an instantaneous thing for safety reasons, but a lot of people aren't familiar with weather situations and responses and want immediate results. Thats not to say the response to Helene has been perfect or anything, but people misunderstanding how these things are handled and funded is yet another hurdle on the path to defeating Trump. 6
GhostBox Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Some of the polls released today where done during the hurricane and after💀 wondering that affects the outcomes any?
