Harris wasn't progressive enough for me so I'm okay with this.
Harris is a woman, so I’m okay with this.
edit:
Oh, and because she turned black.
I personally liked her better as an Indian.
Yeah, it must be a challenge to you to realize that someone can be bicultural.
I experimented with biculturalism but that was during my college days.
She represented the status quo every single person is so fucking sick of. To the point Donald Trump seemed like the better option to enough people. That's an abysmal fucking failure of, well, the status quo.
I don't think most people understood what the "status quo" was until Trump started destroying it.
Yes, "status quo" is billionaires, and monopolies, and low-level corruption, and so-on.
But, "status quo" is also civil liberties, a somewhat functional department of education, not having the national guard chasing down brown people in the street, a bureau of labour statistics that didn't invent numbers to please the dear leader, cabinet secretaries that weren't actively working to destroy the thing they were assigned to lead, low-level crony and nepo corruption and not over-the-top obvious bribery, and so-on.
I CANT believe you DIDNT vote Blue No Matter Who!
-People voting for INDEPENDENT CUOMO over Democrat MAMDANI!
Status Cuomo
-People voting for INDEPENDENT CUOMO over Democrat MAMDANI!
Who are you even talking to? Do you know what website you're on?

I love having an Alzheimer's patient as president. We have a minimum age for president and there should be a maximum age too.
Age is a bad criterium. Some people become degenerates at 50. Others are degenerates during all their lives.
But I know a secret question to detect geniuses: What is bigger, bela or covfefe?
There should be a qualifying process like with literally every other fucking job in the planet.
Troomp: I'm a qualified genius! A can bela covfefe even more than Putin!
I think whatever the average life expectancy is at the time of elections, the maximum age you can be president would be 10 years less. That way they have a decade to sit in the garbage world they created
I think the maximum age for any federal office should be tied to the average national life expectancy in some way, so that if these fucks want to keep their office they have a vested interest in passing policy that makes life expectancy go up.
This is the first time I've seen a comment about upper limits on age I could see making some amount of sense. Most of the other stuff boils down to bUt tEh gErOnTaCrAcY which is just so tiresome.
This is something that this futurist can get behind, for sure. I am watching these current asshats working directly against increasing the average life expectancy right when I think we are right on the cusp of making massive breakthroughs.
Zelensky should pretend to be Putin during his meet
Just tell Trump he’s Valdimir instead of Volodymyr and watch Trump short circuit
He tries to scowl and just ends up looking like such a dork.
Crazy that this is the new normal now...
Once these harmful patterns get popular through the use of media, they never go away
Trump, 79, Veers From Left to Right in Walk Across Red Carpet
Trump, 79, veered from left to right as he walked on the carpet, unable to stay in its center, before reaching a set meeting point. Trump then stood and clapped as his Russian counterpart, 72, approached him at Joint Base Elmendorf in Anchorage.
My god this is embarassing.
Okay then NVM lol sorry. To be fair you are still coming off as if you didn't, and as if people SHOULDN'T vote with harm reduction in mind
Further proof he can't see anything past his own nose
