      Sure sounded like it. I just want to be clear: It’s not going to be a landslide. It’s going to be nail-bitingly close. People shouldn’t lie to themselves.

        It’s a call for votes as increasing distance between Harris and trump counts represent increasing the challenge of stealing the election.

        “A landslide” represents the Highwater mark of the point, wherein it is completely impossible for trump to steal, and is illustrative in that it identifies the goal.

          Does it look like we’re going to reach that goal? Is Harris running the kind of campaign that can actually obtain a landslide?

              Yes it is! They literally said that votes from “people like me” would make a landslide.

              That’s a joke. Most of the people like me are fringe and irrelevant. We can’t give her a landslide, even if all of .ml and lemmygrad and hexbear voted for Harris.

              She will not get a landslide because she is running a bad campaign. It has nothing to do with a few irrelevant leftists.

                Nobody with a vote is irrelevant. It is simply too big a risk to let Trump win again. We need every last vote. We need all the leftists, communists, anarchists, whoever. It isn’t about supporting the system or Harris. It’s about stopping an imminent catastrophe.

                  Every Palestinian father is my father. Every Palestinian mother is my mother. Every sibling is my sibling, cousin is my cousin.

                  I won’t vote for genocide. I won’t. I’d rather kill myself. Just listening to the daily horrors coming from the Strip make me want to die. There’s already catastrophe! So many children starving or getting limbs amputated or being sniped in the head by IOF.

                  I’ve listened to so many people beg for their lives. I’ve seen so many bodies.

                  I hate this country I hate this country I hate this country I HATE THIS COUNTRY

                  Fascism is here. Genocide is here. The catastrophe can not be stopped because THE UNITED STATES IS THE CATASTROPHE.

                    And it will be worse if Trump becomes president. You can help stop that by voting. If you don’t vote, you aren’t resisting this coming to pass.

                I checked the above chain, and don’t see landslide aside from the comment you.and I are discussing. Perhaps it’s elsewhere but not in the chain I’m referring to.
