Yes perfect, thank you for this. I literally majored in Linguistics but didn't even think of this because school was so long ago. The ability to code switch where someone could use the professional language while governing but colloquialisms and everyday language while giving public statements would be nice, to be better understood. We all understand basic informal American English but not everyone has a great education.
Yes, amen, thank you. Abortion beat Harris by 20 points in my state! Clearly there are a lot of Trump voters who are with us on some things and we need to find to common ground to build a bridge and connect us so we can fix this. That common ground is pretty freaking obvious since 99% of us have one thing in common. But Nancy Pelosi has already said no so you need to fall in line and do what she tells you.
If you're uneducated and someone is speaking more formally it can be, depending on the topic and the word choice.
He tax an was tweaked with a more pro corporation lean on the advice of her brother I law Tony West and probably others but all the articles on that are behind paywalls and I don't really care enough about convincing you to look for a way to bypass them.
As for Trump's abortion ban and things like that, I remember her saying it because she said it. https://www.instagram.com/kamalaharris/reel/DBz9j1zquQx/
She stoped supporting single payer, she backed off worker rights, she backed off on taxing corporations, and a huge part of the platform was against Trump's abortion ban and against Trump's authoritarism.
They have got to stop talking down to voters, gaslighting voters, and they need to give people something to vote FOR instead of against. I find Kamala to be a good speaker and easy to understand but people saying she's using word salad...at first I didn't get what that was all about, especially when Trump makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but I think I might get it now. She's talking to well educated people but a huge swath of this country is not well educated, uses social media extensively, and maybe it actually does sound like word salad to them when democrats start using words that normal people never use and probably don't understand. If you never went to college and only graduated high school because standards have been reduced, maybe she kind of sounds like an alien sometimes. They need an economic message that speaks to people who have been getting crushed more and more since the 80s and they need to say it in terms we can all understand. And when voters tell them "this is how I feel" for the love of God they need to stop saying "no you don't".
Joe Biden can do whatever he wants and it doesn't matter because then Trump will do whatever he wants. He can do away with pardons and then Trump can decree that they exist again. There's nothing left to stop him. Buckle up.
What you're missing here is that he has an openly corrupt supreme court behind him and everyone who was willing to tell him no is long gone. We'll see how it plays out but it's going to be hard to come back from this, and the Democrats are going to have to start paying attention and actually doing what voters want or there's no hope for them.
I didn't read that as OP saying they believed that will work, I read it as saying the majority of Americans (or at least the majority of Americans who bothered voting) believed that.
I was onboard with her but I honestly felt icky every time the Biden administration released a new statement about how good the economy is. How out of touch do you have to be to think the economy is good? Republicans have no intention of fixing that but at least they're smart enough to see that people feel crushed in this economy and pander to it. And apparently that was a much bigger issue than abortion, which shocked me at first but as it settles I see that my fear as a woman pales in comparison to America's fear of a woman and America's struggling financial situation.
Are most mail in ballots democrat this year? I thought republicans were pushing that more with their base. But I don't know if they actually did it or if they voted more in person.
A Nine-Bun-Bun spokesbun asked that all bunnies please remain calm and thump if you feel that you are in danger. Hoomans are asked to provide extra treats and pets during this scary time.
Please nanners if you have any to spare thank you.
However, Clover wants every hooman to know the signs of overheating so you can render aid to a hot bunny ASAP. Clover says she was shaking really hard and her ears were super hot during the incident. The hooman put an ice pack on her and turned on the AC. In a pinch, Clover says the hooman also could have sprayed her ears with a little water and then blown a fan over them.
The statement, written by Ben Fullahay and signed by his life partner Wally, was short and to the point. "Listen, we know everybun already supports nanners but we just want everybun to know we support them too, capish?"
I honestly don't understand why people waited so I don't use mastodon but I did cancel my Twitter account literally the first week he bought it. It wasn't hard to see this coming and I just don't get the delay.
