Something makes me sad that it takes someone like Taylor Swift to get people to register and vote. A fucking pop star has to encourage people to get out and vote?
Pope Francis on Friday described the choice US voters must make in the presidential election as one between the “lesser of two evils,” deeming former President Donald Trump’s anti-migrant policies and Vice President Kamala Harris’ support of abortion rights as both being “against life.”
“One must choose the lesser of two evils. Who is the lesser of two evils? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know,” Francis said during a press conference on the papal plane, referring to Harris and Trump. “Everyone with a conscience should think on this and do it.”
Francis, who has been more vocal about politics than his predecessors and has moved to make the Catholic Church more open, has stressed over the years that the issue of abortion cannot be isolated from other human rights concerns, such as immigration.
While Francis maintains the official stance of the church that abortion is a grave sin and slammed Harris on Friday for backing reproductive rights, he also criticized Trump’s immigration policies as “evil.”
“To send migrants away, to leave them wherever you want, to leave them … it’s something terrible, there is evil there. To send away a child from the womb of the mother is an assassination, because there is life. We must speak about these things clearly,” he said.
The Pope is asking American voters to consider what is the "lesser of two evils". Anti-immigrant Trump or Reproductive Rights Kamala.
Those Russians really want Trump to be president again. No surprise. -their misinformation strategies are pretty sophisticated thanks to X, and A.I.
Microsoft said Tuesday that Russian operatives have in recent weeks intensified their online attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign by producing and disseminating videos promoting “outlandish conspiracy theories” aimed at stoking US racial and political divisions.
One of the inauthentic videos, which Microsoft said had been viewed millions of times, claimed to show Harris supporters attacking an attendee of a Donald Trump rally. Another video falsely claimed that Harris paralyzed a young girl in a 2011 hit-and-run accident. Russian operatives promoted the latter story through a website pretending to be a local San Francisco media outlet, Microsoft researchers said.
Both videos were still accessible on X as of Tuesday afternoon, with one post of the video garnering 1.5 million views on its own. CNN has requested comment from the social media platform.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he wants Vice President Kamala Harris to win the U.S. presidential election in November — not former President Trump.
Thoughts on the CNN Town Hall Q and A with Kamala?
VP Harris answered a question about fighting companies who are price gouging Americans.
Kamala went on the attack on Trump.
“If Trump were elected president, he would put in a national sales tax of 20 percent on essential goods. Independent economists say that would mean each American would pay an extra 4000 dollars per year on essential items like groceries”.
Didn't see the TH but I think there isn't any more convincing. Everyone who will vote has already decided and nothing will change their minds. Harris seems to be losing poise and her calmness and getting baited. Glad this shitshow will end in about 2 weeks ... or should I stay, will just start in 2 weeks?
I hope to God that the Dems are quietly and efficiently working the ground game to get their supporters out to vote.
She's lost a lot of steam, should stop making promises on policies and being specific about stuff, it just opens up to arguments and analysis and rebuttals and construing of facts.
Take a page out of Trump's book, he never says anything specific about what he's going to do, just broad meandering strokes that nobody knows where to start with to argue against.
All she needs to be is not be the crazy lunatic choice. All her homeruns are from labelling Trumpers as weirdos who never go outside and see the world isn't collapsing.
