I long ago stopped wondering how German citizens tolerated their Nazi government. Living in the United States answers that question.

Neither major party candidate will constrain Israel in its ongoing genocide. But both parties will limit your ability to protest that policy either in word or by organized group protest.

The Bill of RIghts is the only redeeming facet of our Constitution. Sadly, our polity disregards it.

I'm Canadian . But sadly Canada is no better. We have FOUR major parties and a parliamentary "democracy" -- it is a mockery of what I was taught was "democracy" when I was a kid.

In the Western World, we are all Nazis now, I guess.

How is it that after 3+ of years of "one of the best presidents in history" with his "remarkable foreign policy achievements" and "great economy," then why does Michelle Obama have to say hope is on the way! What a slap to ole-Joe, it seems to me. I have as much hope in a Harris administration that I have in Congress cutting off war funding and balancing the budget.

Not just "hope" - "joy".

They count on their supporters' fragmented or outright destroyed memory and attention span, betting that nobody will notice the glaring contradiction.

And, unfortunately, they're right

HOPE!!...sing it choir of the fooled. HOPE! no one mentions the war(s) we fobbed off on the world. If you thought a black or quasi black or female president might be less genocidal or less of a maniac well...guess again. It is very bad manners in the land of the nominally free to mention the war in Europe or the Gaza genocide or the over-the-top national debt. We educated, cultured Americans prefer denial and naval gazing and self improvement exercises. Minnesota "nice" is a thing here in the middle west. I bet Coach Tim, the pit bull veep, will be delivering even more niceness to the unfortunate recipients in Gaza and Europe. Now where did I put those iodine pills?

Every nation in the ‘collective west’ is now run by a Trot. Even if Trump is allowed to win he’ll be a lonely leader of the west trying to herd a flock of permanent state Bolsheviks in America. All led by guess who?

"What has been notable about this convention so far is its vacuity."

What's notable about Harris is the vacuum between her ears. It makes it easier for her not to get her owners' messages mixed up with anything remotely resembling a brain or a conscience.

The Romans had bread and circuses.

If they had Rock & Roll and Fireworks back in the day!

Canada is worse. There’s essentially no power in the legislative opposition, so the majority power(s) can do whatever they like, and Canada's judicial system is generally a rubber stamp for the liberal party. Not cool.

Refreshing humour is a rarity these days. The coming contrast with the collapse of Ukraine, the stock market losing hundreds of billions for reasons of vacuity will be spectacular.
