So in 2020 there were ~155 million votes, as of now we have counted 135ish millions.
This after weeks of telling everyone that this is the most consequential election of our lifetime, we have 20 million fewer votes - really?
Harris received 16 million fewer votes than Biden did in 2020, while having more money than anyone ever had before and her opponent went #FullNazi and an unprecedented number of Republicans went public with their support for #harriswalz2024. Does that not sound weird?
Anyone knows where to download or view voter turnout by state and county and compare with 2020 ... #SoHardToBelieve #WTFUSA #WhereWereTheDemocrats

Just brilliant 👌
"On November 5th, we will find out just how strong we are.
We will each choose on which side of the historical ledger to record our names. On the one hand, we can stand with those throughout our history who maintained that some people were better than others and had the right to rule. On the other,
we can list our names on the side of those from our past who defended democracy, and by doing so, guarantee that American democracy reaches into the future." #HeatherCoxRichardson

... it is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi.
Would you?

Let's try to learn from the past rather than to believe in demagogues today.

Another spot-on article from Letters from an America by Heather Cox Richardson:
" Biden said, it's time for us to stop treating politics like entertainment and reality TV. "
"He reminded the audience that he was the first president to walk a picket line because when labor does well, everybody does well. .... Since I became president, we created nearly 16 million new jobs nationwide, 390,000 of those jobs right here in Michigan. We've created 800,000 manufacturing jobs nationwide, including 24,000 in Michigan. Biden hammered Trump, saying no more free passes."
That's why #TheBillionaireClass and #CorporateUSA want him out and #DonnyBoy in! But they don't have the numbers and they never will! That's why they need to invent #CultureWar, litigate the presidency, and eventually end #Democracy or pay their fair share and be subject to laws, rules, and regulations!

Thank you @rbreich adding your voice and pushing back on the gaslighting currently done by what I thought was more or less 'objective media'. I guess owners and CEOs are all pushing for the billionaire class and so are, obviously, some 'concered' mega donors of the #BidenHarris campaign.

So much to considering a subscription at the #WashingtonPost #GuardianSubscriptionInstead
"The Post decided not to report on the episode at the time because the flag-raising appeared to be the work of Martha-Ann Alito, rather than the justice, and connected to a dispute with her neighbors, a Post spokeswoman said. It was not clear then that the argument was rooted in politics, the spokeswoman said." #Really? #Why?

The workers who died in the bridge collapse on Tuesday “were not ‘poisoning the blood of our country,’” Will Bunch wrote, quoting Trump; “they were replenishing it…. They may have been born all over the continent, but when these men plunged into our waters on Tuesday, they died as Americans.”
