"I never want to hear the words 'America is better than this' again. I never want to be told about America’s better angels.
I want honesty. I want an admission of exactly who we are as a country, and let’s be damn clear about that definition:"

I'm Russian living in Russia. I was 5 when Putin was 'elected'. I'm 30 now. I know that feeling of hopelessness very well. You should never surrender. Autocrats of the world are counting on you being down and depoliticized because all of this. Don't give them an easy win. Always fight, no matter how bad situation seems.

Whatever the post analysis of why a majority of Americans voted for #Trump, for example, was misinformation on social media owned by billionaires a factor? the fact is clear that for whatever personal reasons, & considering that Trump has clearly expressed his plan to "drill, drill, drill" for fossil fuels, a majority of Americans are not voting to mitigate #ClimateChange (quite the opposite)
Implicitly (ignorantly) or not, Americans have voted to make climate change worse. Addicted to #BigOil

>> ""The people who lost the election are the Democratic leaders who have steadfastly refused to invest in advocacy media," Sheffield charged. "The average American is surrounded by partisan brainwashing media. There are now 7 right wing infotainment channels and 1 MSNBC. This is why Harris lost.""
#Trump will shut down #VoiceOfAmerica #VOA too
The youth is showing up in force for Kamala
We have the momentum on our side
Regardless of what the billionaire-owned media wants us to believe

#Maddow looks at the role #Musk is playing in #Trump's campaign, as well as the important role he plays in US nat sec matters & his unnervingly close relationship w #Putin & other US adversaries. If #Harris wins the presidency, Musk's allegiances will be a tricky national security mess to clean up. But if #Trump wins, the entire global power balance could shift as Musk asserts his influence on Trump to partner more closely with #Russia, #China, and #NorthKorea.

“So yes of course before people go to sleep on election night, he's going to go out there and claim victory, we know it. Now, it's going to be... way less threatening than it was before... because you're watching this old ghost go through this same old stupid move again, and everybody knows it was a stupid false move the last time, it will look even stupider this time…”
