Unless they’re a cop. Then it’s the defense they go to and can never be convicted under unless we have them on video calmly shooting the handcuffed guy in the back of the head.
She has a really checkered record wrt trans stuff altogether. I’m concerned.
She’s better than Trump but a significant step down from Biden in terms of most of the things I care about which makes her a concerning pick, combined with the fact that she performs worse in polling (if that was the main concern). I hope I’m wrong but I’m concerned that this basically sealed the Dems’ loss.
Here is the internal polling that was released, this was before Biden resigned
Through 7/21, Biden trailed Trump 46-44 nationally; Harris was ahead 48-46. Trump is stuck at a ceiling of 46. Harris gains from 3rd party/undecided voters.
Young voters (18-34) go from Biden 44-36 (+8) to Harris 57-37 (+20)
Independents go from Trump 48-32 (+16) to Trump 49-41 (+8)
Harris picks up 7pp among Black voters and 8pp among Hispanic voters, almost all from 3rd party/undecideds

She’s one of the reasons if someone were to kill you they wouldn’t be able to use ‘i panicked’ as a defense.

And even then, bootlickers will be like “he was clearly reaching for the cop’s gun!”

It’s pretty logical and common for US to support Israel no matter what
Yes and that’s high key horrifying. However it’s not a majority opinion https://news.gallup.com/poll/642695/majority-disapprove-israeli-action-gaza.aspx
That doesn’t really matter that it’s a majority opinion. Cause average people don’t really care about US’s strategic interests in the middle east.
