The only one who shook my hand and said, "thank you for being an informed voter" was from the Republican tent. He had no clue who I was voting for but he was thankful anyway.
The other two looked surprised (the school board and other non partisan positions tent) to downright shocked (the Democrats).
I don't think any of them had ever heard anyone say something like that. Hopefully it made them all think about it.
The Democrats don't encourage or want informed voters. They want mindless sheep who regurgitate the party rhetoric without question and believe what they're told to believe.

They are going to try.
Tweets today from RFK talking about how Trump is doing things differently this time have them scared. Trump is paying for his own transition team, so they can't insert spies. Trump isn't taking security briefings so they can't say he is leaking info. Trump admitted on JRE that he listened to the lobbyists and appointed bad people. No more of that, his transition team has no lobbyists oit.

This is exactly why they have tried to off him twice and will continue to do so until January 20th.
The dems are in such despair that they've taken to calling full political rallies pure Nazism just because they can't fill a high school gymnasium to see Kackala/Timpax live on stage.

US election cycles are usually crazy and dramatic and I think these last 2 weeks are going to be off the charts insane. I mean seeing Trump in a McDonald's apron talking out the drive thru window to reporters is a unique image.
I think Trumps going to win still, I know plenty of people don't like him but not sure that means votes for Harris.
The one thing I fear you guys, whatever way this election result goes, I can see there's going to be a lot of arguments.
That's an understatement.
Depending on who wins, there could be a full scale meltdown. If Trump wins that meltdown will be unlike anything this country has experienced since the Civil War. The far left will lose their collective minds and make everyone pay for it.
If Harris wins the country will die a slow and painful death. The far right might respond somehow but who knows how that plays out.
I'm not even watching that. I may not be a kid person but they're pretty innocent in most situations. It's the adults around them I want to beat half to death.

That woman makes $3k every time she goes to a Harris rally. Good work if you can get it.

I posted my experience on the local group on Nextdoor and went on to say how important it is to be an informed voter and not go by what is said by campaign ads, celebrities, family, MSM, social media, etc., and I can tell the party of those making comments by what they're saying.

He's only giving it a shot because he has to. If Elon didn't buy X, this doesn't happen. He sees the writing on the wall in the direction of legacy media.
Bezos isn't some high moral guy, but he also isn't an idiot.

No newspaper or media organization that produces news should ever endorse a candidate for anything.
Either remove your credentials and licenses, call your channel a talk show opinion, or stop the bias coverage.

Imagine the liberal "journalists" with zero redeemable real world job skills up and quitting because of their lack of endorsement of Kamala. That job market has to be drying up.

It's because of Elon but not because of X or Twitter. It's because Bezos wants Blue Origin to be able to compete with SpaceX in the (likely) event that Trump is in office again. Don't piss off your main customer.
I agree with what Bezos wrote, mostly. We need media that is objective and endorses no one and we also need media with a point of view that is open about that point of view. The two need to be separate. But what we have is a bunch of organizations that try to have both all the time. I don't know if we will ever get true dichotomy between objective and opinionated in media (we've never had it before), but I do applaud Bezos for at least trying even if his motives are questionable.

BREAKING: Trump announces that his administration will seize the assets of criminal gangs and drug cartels and use them to set up a compensation fund for the victims of migrant crime.
There are a lot of NGOs that should have all their assets taken and all those criminals running them arrested. All the trafficking happens with their help.

We have enough critical distance to know now that religion was used to justify very secular hatreds and competitions, when you look back at the 30 years war or the Crusades. It was about who gets to overrule kings and who gets to tax trade and if there could be any predictability or regularity on either issue. There were religious differences, but the religious differences weren't the main reason for the war.
