Kamala's campaign

[basilosaurus]

I know most Americans don't care about world politics, but the world cares about American stuff. Every brown person (3rd largest ethnicity here, so it's a lot) has asked if I voted for the brown one or the orange one. Lolsob. They call him the orange one.

I made friends with an Indian-Malaysian friend's mom who doesn't speak English, and I don't speak Tamil, just by saying Kamala. Got a high five. My Indian-heritage driver today also had strong opinions about brown vs orange.

I have met a few American orange supporters but thankfully they don't bother to vote. It's always strange to me when people express support for someone pretty globally hated. I had zero problems traveling in W years because people just assumed, hey, you're a nice person who likes to travel so obviously you don't like that guy. Same has been true with orange-man. There have been exceptions, but, note, exceptions. Most assume I'm not an asshole which is what they think of every orange voter.

No, I won't stop calling him the orange one since that's what people call him here. It's fitting!

basilosaurus, it's very similar over here in London, though there are some on our right wing side who talk about being woke and Trump being fabulous. We have our own right wing idiocy over here but luckily it's not as strong (yet).

Oh, you definitely have your crazies there, too. Probably every country does.

I won't praise Malaysian politics because they're pretty racists and just barely shy of being an Islamist theocracy, but I will praise people for being so wonderful.

Exception is this American couple I gave a ride to, after having some food and drink together (we were sat next to each other. This wasn't planned), and they praised fucking Trey Goudy right outside their hotel. How did they give no indication before that?!

My YouTube guilty pleasure is watching clips of Stephen Colbert's opening monologue. I'm always so surprised how so many people from not in the US post comments on those videos of why they encourage US voters to vote one way or the other. I know almost nothing about politics in other countries and can barely follow along in what goes on in my own country. 

Unless these are the "bots" that apparently are influencing elections online.

Eminiem introduced O'Bama in Michiagn last night at a rally and then O'bama started quoting Lose yourself.

The clips of Tim Walz calling Elon Musk a “dipshit” at a rally today have made me smile multiple times. That is all 😄

DH and I watched it last night and we cackled. CACKLED.

Fired up Obama was also a treat.

ICP endorsed Harris, lol! If all the Juggalos vote for her, we've got this in the bag.

OMG I have no clue why I typed it like that.

Can we blame lack of sleep? I really do know his name. LOL!

OMG I have to tell this to my granddaughter. If she wasn't voting for Kamala before, she sure would now! I'll have to make sure she gets the word out to her friends and they're registered. We can still register here in WA.

PDQ because y'all know how I am about location sharing. ***

OMG cville that is AMAZING! I'm about as jealous of you as I am of my friend who went to Chicago for the DNC rally.

[bookqueen15]

Harris is going to speak in DC on the Ellipse next Tuesday, a week before the election. I work pretty close to there, going to try and go if I can get tickets!

Well, there is a song and a gas station in Ireland!

Not sure if this link will work and you can probably only see it if you have Instagram but you can search for the song There’s No One As Irish As Barack Obama and the Barack Obama Plaza in Ireland.

H and I went to Ireland in 2017. We saw Barack Obama Plaza which until that point had no idea it existed. A bit later, walking down the street we passed a store called ‘The Joke Store’ and the window was just absolutely stuffed with Trump items - masks and merch with his face on it. I found it a hilarious juxtaposition.

I wish I was available- I saw her in 2020 when she was campaigning for POTUS still.

we went to this rest area/plaza and found it so funny.

Have they announced where Kamala will be the night before the election and on election night?

[cville]

The rally was incredible. I feel hopeful. I am now going to close all browsers and just ride this vibe.

I know she won't be, but I wish it were Oakland. That's where I'm headed if the results come in the way I want.

I saw something that she might be at Howard election night, but I don’t remember where I saw it.

I also saw this. It hasn’t been confirmed yet, though.

I wasn’t quite sure where to post this but I found it interesting. A polling group has been doing ‘Citizen Forecasting’ which asks people not who they are voting for but who they think will win. They polled in April 2023, April 2024 and then much more frequently since then. The last two rounds being since Harris became the nominee.

www.yahoo.com/news/series-polls-asked-voters-not-152455598.html

Results were Trump every time up until August. After August every round has had Harris winning.

[lust2hart]

I got an email from Joe Biden with the subject line, "I'm asking for the very last time, lust2hart."

If only that were true. LOL.

[fryjack2]

I wonder how Kamala or Dumbass's response to Israel bombing Iran will impact votes. Guess we are about to find out.

it won’t touch trump. We already know he’s doctor Strangelove level ‘bombs away!’

[underwaterrhymes]

Beyoncé is obviously an incredible performer, but she’s also a phenomenal and moving public speaker. Her intro for Harris last night was great.
