    I think I got my hopes up too high when it was Beto vs Cruz, and I don't feel like Allred has nearly as much support as Beto did. I'd love to be wrong

    Eh that's kinda hard to compare. I'd tell you in rat's condescending tone mind you, that I'm stupid and you could find evidence disproving your own statement if you search. I think there's enough evidence with his first term, who he's surrounded himself with and their policies vs a Kamala that while she was part of joes genocidal administration and unfortunately catered to the center right more than the progressives, that HER AS PRESIDENT is still an unknown. Sure, people want to say how she's going to be based on her actions and inactions, which is totally fine and their right but we don't have an actual Kamala presidency to compare to.
    I appreciate your willingness to always have good insightful convos, but the only person I've trolled is rat and that's mainly because EVERYONE HERE knows how they talk down in a condescending way to plenty of people and frankly it's uncalled for all because people don't share their specific world view. There's white w difference between someone like yourself that actually has conversations and then being talked to from their high horse. And I'm not even talking about myself, I seen them so it to other people lol. I'd you think me posting Kamala gifs to rat is fawning, sorry that's far from it. If you think as someone else said that posting retweets from KamalaHQ is fawning then lol. It could be BernieHQ or OtherHQ and I'd still be reposting. As I told you before, I'm simply pro Whoever the Dem Nom Is. The same exact content in those retweets, if I can find the content from a different source I make an effort to repost from THOSE before. I repost whoever has the actual content. Hell I've even retweeted some Fox News posts....does that mean I'm pro Fox now? I seriously wonder about y'all when the issue of grievance is the source of the content rather than the actual content. Literally everyone here reposts stuff they find either interesting/funny/insightful. Not to harm or hurt. As I said above to Dave and you already i feel there's a difference between her and Biden, at least now somewhat. Her presidency can change that. I'm not going GENOCIDE IS BAD and then reposting Kamala tweets as some kind of gotcha and I'd that's your you or others personally feel then I apologize if that's what you thought, I was coming from a bad place. With that said, if I find a post retweeting something and the only source is KamalaHQ then too oh fucking well, avert your eyes because it's not that serious. And for the record, I don't believe Kamala has any power or say to convince Joe to stop. He's gonna do what he's always believed in. As I said before Joe/Kamala is not the same as Obama/Biden. When was the last time a VP came out and publicly distanced themselves from their boss while still being their VP? NOW that she has power it's on her to change or not. If she does, that's fantastic. If not, well we know where she truly stands. You know while I really do admire your insight I wonder how much is emotion based and how much is factual. Yes the morally correct thing to do is come out right from the start and condem. the genocide, distance yourself from current admin, but imo she wants to win the presidency and feels that that path would lead to her losing. Also like I said yesterday, I saw some polls already saying she can win MI even without the Muslim base. If so, what would the reverse look like? Can she win the state if she comes out for them and risk losing the center right and maybe pissing off AIPAC in the process? Hell, not even MI but country wise...can she afford that? Imo it's step 1, get the win and then step 2. Do the right thing. And in order to get to step 2 she's gotta win first. Her team knows the numbers and obviously they don't think her supporting Palestine was the smart move. It sucks. But if it gets her the office then there's always the chance to do something meaningful. And if it's all just a foolish wish to believe this, then I can admit it. But we're not there yet.
