I call it "defensive" voting. Not voting for actual progress, just voting to prevent further deterioration.

I put practicality over ideology, and in accordance with this have already voted for Harris. But I can still express my disappointment.

So...what really happened? Israel says it did a "crippling" attack on all of Iran's air defenses and ability to make drones and missiles. Iran says it intercepted most of the attack, limiting the extent of the damage, though with some fatalities (as definitively noted in the article). I've heard conflicting accounts of whether Israel fired from outside Iranian airspace or whether they were doing laps around Tehran. I've seen multiple videos of Iran's air defense in action, but these can be cherry-picked.

Obviously there is going to be an enormous amount of censorship, propaganda, and straight up misinformation. Good luck getting actual good info.

This is quite dystopian. Actually showing up it people's homes, yikes.

I'll mention 2: Station Nightclub fire footage and a video of pigs being buried alive in response to a disease outbreak.

Lathes are no joke. There's one that really stuck with me, I think at a Russian factory. "Dismemberment" does not accurately reflect what happened.

One can look at art as either being about "the end result" or about the process of human expression. AI can produce the former (of varying quality), but not the latter.

Because to them, no lives matter. Except their own of course.

Victors may get to write history, but younger generations get to have the last word on it.

Donors think of voters/voting as "the fifth column."

Yes. Fwiw, my first comment here preceded that one.

Edit: also, that comment addresses something different than what we're discussing here. The responses here seem to be fixated on Harris being VP rather than president. The comment you are pointing out discusses Biden's limitations in managing this situation. Different issues, different discussions.
