Lil Mistee Posted October 5 Posted October 5 (edited) You guys really need to stop getting wrapped up in headline BS. They use these fake ass headlines to make you believe **** and y'all just run with it. Maybe 1.) Read your own sources 2.) Believe things that are factual 3.) Stop going on twitter.com Didn't most of you go to college? Didn't they teach you this **** in comp 1? Like, c'mon now, some random ass website saying some bullshittery with actual source other than "someone said this!" is not a good source for FACTUAL INFORMATION. Edited October 5 by Lil Mistee 2

Like, read your own ******* sources. Y'all are brainwashed. 3

Sister, I know you PM'd me and said you joined ATRL cause "you were friends with some of the mods and wanted to discuss politics" when ensuring you were not a dupe (giving Kassi vibes but different), but referring to reporting by the Financial Times as "a random website" is... what? If Kamala Harris was committed to keeping Lina Khan as the head of the FTC, why hasn't she publicly made this a commitment to encourage people to vote for her?

It honestly went… fairly well? I only had a couple of doors slammed in my face and only one person yelled at me. Everyone else was either already planning to vote for Kamala, didn't know they didn't have to mail in their ballot but could just drop it off at a polling location or vote early, or they had heard good things about Kamala's policies but didn't believe they were real (down payment assistance, child tax credit, etc.) Surprisingly… most people were actually most concerned with Trump himself. They didn't know too much about Kamala, but leaned towards her because they felt Trump wasn't worth the risk of voting for. I heard a lot of "Even if Kamala is bad at least she isn't preaching hate, I'm tired of the hateful comments more than anything" and "There used to not be a big difference between two candidates but now the Republicans are too crazy for me to feel safe, I never thought it could get this bad". Not a lot of concern about immigration, which isn't that surprising. It was South Phoenix, so a lot of Latino families who probably don't notice a difference at all because there isn't any. People were more concerned about people flooding in from California and making things more expensive because of that, which I got to bring up Kamala's plan to build more housing so that the housing supply can go up and bring down costs. Overall, it made me more hopeful for Kamala's campaign here. I expected a lot more vitriol, and we WERE canvassing in a fairly blue area with low-propensity voters, but I expected way more "I hate politics bye!" instead it was just a lot of people lacking info and being too busy or out of the loop to try and figure out what was going on or how they'd vote. Also worth noting I was talking to mostly women, so that might be a factor too. This is great thank you for doing the hard work. I hope to hear more stories 4

But what I HATE is this weird framing of her as some Putin like or even George Bush like figure. GET OVER YOURSELVES. 2

ClashAndBurn Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Kamala's been signaling for a long time now that she's open to firing Lina Khan and replacing her with someone friendlier to big business interests. One of her campaign's biggest goals has been to try and end the stigma that Democrats are hostile to corporations. Like… we've known this since before Walz was even brought in as her running mate 1 1
Bears01 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 WHO IS ADVISING THIS CAMPAIGN. MAKE IT STOP. Might as well throw a big rally with Hillary in Michigan and Wisconsin while she's at it at this point 1 8

Like, it's amazing when people actually engage in our democratic system as opposed to just whining online and getting mad when things don't change. You are doing the Lord's work. 5
Communion Posted October 5 Posted October 5 (edited) It's just.. parasocial (!) deragenment. *report by reputable industry publication that Harris has continuously reaffirmed her support to lean away from regulating Big Biz and Big Tech, including replacing Khan* A: "Wow, that's disappointing, Lina Khan's work is one of the greatest legacies of the Biden admin." B: "I CANT BELIEVE YOU IDIOTS JUST TRUST EVERYTHING YOU READ. YOU WANT HARRIS TO FAIL. YOU'RE AWFUL. YOU'RE STUPID. I ******* HATE YOU!!!" A: "...well, has Harris publicly committed to continuing Lina Khan's good work holding corporations accountable by keeping her as head of the FTC?" B: "...no???" At one point is just becomes deeply concerning anti-social behavior. Leftists are always framed as angry but some of you in your liberalism are just so deeply resentful and full of hatred. You hate conservatives, but you also hate progressives. You hate non-voters. You hate leftists. You resent normal everyday people and idolize the powerful. It's like this discussion here: Where there's a clear divide between politics that suspiciously view non-voters as insidious secret saboteurs intentionally undermining one's political project vs viewing them as people failed by politicians to address their suffering. When did liberalism get so MAGA-coded weird and angry? Edited October 5 by Communion 2 5
Blankspace2010 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 (edited) ATRL is great for the casual voter. If you want a true reflection of Harris' positioning - you'll find it directly in the centre between @GhostBox perception of Harris and @Communion. and honestly - that's very helpful. I think the middle of these long endless and polarising arguments here - is reality. Edited October 5 by Blankspace2010

Maybe keep her behind the scenes for money fundraising help and that's it 😂 they should have the Obama's and Shapiro barn storming every inch of PA. Edited October 6 by GhostBox

I think the middle of these long endless and polarising arguments here - is reality. Fallacy. The people on twitter calling her Holocaust Harris are the kind of radical equivalent you're looking for (I don't resent them for their anger). As a proud M4A, free college, Green New Deal, etc supporter and a deep blue queer suburbanite historical Dem voter, I'm actually the true median of the Democratic base. Most of my critics are red state moderate "Dems" (the amount of Floridians posting... dddd!) and while I'm more than willing to open the door to the party for them and let them into the coalition, the recent treatment of Chappell Roan makes putting the "oh?? you just got into politics and thought Romney was okay and decent cause your Republican dad was voting for him in 2012???" shoe on the other foot a bit fun. Can't out-VBNMW a Deep Blue *****. Edited October 6 by Communion 1 4

No one called Kamala a rapist. All I said was that Kamala is spreading Zionist lies about mass rapes happening last year but she refused to even acknowledge the sexual assault and rape that Palestinians have been facing. Man, **** yall. Seriously. What a ******* cult. Edited October 5 by State of Grace. 4 1
Bears01 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 26 minutes ago, GhostBox said: Bernie doing that Harris promo 👏🏼 Then she should keep Lina Khan as FTC Chair. I've put a lot of my issues with Kamala aside for my desire to see republicans and Trump lose…. But her choices have been rather frustrating. Neocon warmongers to campaign with? "Yes!!! Bipartisanship! Dick Cheney served this country well!" Full support of Israel's genocide? "Yes! We Stan Israel"! Telling business associates she'll fire Lina Khan, even though democrats have an 80% chance of losing the senate and won't be able to confirm a replacement? "Yes! We love big tech!" And now, brining the least popular Democratic governor in the country, who is almost single handily responsible for why Biden's agenda was stalled the last 2 years, outside of confirming judges? "Yes! We love Kathy!!" 3 5
