Odd that a true black woman would have a white guy as an avatar and name her account "Joey Mannarino", isn't it?

Would you mind sharing this post so I can federate and regain connections? Thanks!

I object! Changing Trump's mind would mean he has a mind. Assumes facts not in evidence.

Whatever your political goals are, who's more likely to be able to be swayed in your direction, Trump or Harris? What are the odds?
For anything I care about, the odds of me doing anything to change Trump's mind is zero. For Harris, it's a small, but non-zero value. Mystery third option is unknown, but unlikely to be meaningfully greater than with Harris.
So I've got either:
1) 50% chance of having no influence
2) 50% chance of having a marginal influence
3) ?????
If I'm nervous I interweave my fingers together - that pretty effectively stops them from twitching.
@ScottSoCal @therobburgessshow And our new word for them is "Didn't hire."
I'm realizing a communication accommodation can be the ability to edit your posts
Verbiage flies out of my mouth or from my fingers half-formed a lot of the time and I will edit stuff several times after to adequately convey my thought
In real life this just results in folks dismissing what I'm saying or endlessly debating or correcting me because I can't go back and edit what I verbally told them, because I was either missing critical details or misconveyed a point
(Case in point, I've edited this post 3 times so far)
Another step in my journey of eliminating sexism in my speech, and something I've done since she became VP.
But I'll happily call her MADAM President.
I'm hoping the timing was all on purpose.
I mean, it works, either way, but I'd love to believe it was deliberate.
This Atlantic piece actually highlights how Biden dropping out when he did is perfect timing. By doing so almost immediately after the RNC, in the middle of a long weekend (a move designed to screw over the pundit class), he murdered the GOPβs momentum overnight and left them stuck with a VP candidate who wonβt do anything outside of Trumpβs base. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/trump-campaign-biden-dropping-out/679183/
Their new n-word is "DEI hire". They apply it to everyone who isn't a cis white straight male.

See? Trump is unifying. We all hate him and are joining together to stop him.
@DrSuzanne I'm not putting my beliefs aside one bit. Not even a little. Trump is worse on literally issue that matters to me. It's not hard.
