Voter registration up over 35% in Virginia with VP Harris now leading Democratic ticket
  • Other than Bernie running, Dems haven't had a reason to be excited. Hillary, while skilled, makes a lot of folks unhappy for all sorts of reasons. Biden could have done so much worse, but he wasn't the bastion of progress many people wanted, and we didn't know before the election how well he would actually do. For this election, Biden just didn't seem like he would last 4 more years, and he didn't seem like he had the fight left to take on Trump. Harris represents a real chance at some progress, and certainly staving off the return to the good ol' times that the Right is hellbent on achieving.

  • Aniston criticises 'childless cat ladies' comment
  • To add to this, a lot of people don't see individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) as people. To them, they're something else.

    A person with IDD has all the same rights, including voting, as any other person. To reinforce that, many (or maybe all) states have their rights specifically codified (e.g., Florida Statute 393.13). To remove those rights, it requires a court order, just like it does for you and me.

    In Florida, the supports for individuals with IDD promotes and assists them with the voting process, especially with getting to the polls to cast their votes!

  • Harris, endorsed by Biden, could become first woman, second Black person to be president
  • Michelle is a thoughtful and intelligent woman with some great experience, but I think she feels like she served her eight years, and has earned retirement (mostly) from politics. I tend to agree. That said, I'd be happy to vote for her in an election.

  • RFK Jr. to receive Secret Service protection after Trump assassination attempt
  • Some crazies and some of the sheep support him (I know someone who thinks he has some good ideas and would potentially vote for him in an election that didn't include Trump). It's hard to say how much support might swing his worm-laden way if Trump were no longer in the picture. He has no chance against Trump, though.
