Ah ty, I thought they meant that the republicans said it, which - even when considering how surreal some of their takes are - would have surprised me.

Btw while I'm at it: I never got how half of the USA can ignore all these things and vote for Trump, but this article captured it very well (got recommended to me on Lemmy)

To all US-americans out there: please remember that the only realistic way to stop Trump is by voting for Harris.

The parallels with Weimar Germany are stark. It Happened Here.

I should be getting my mail-in ballot pretty soon.

Unfortunately, since I'm in California my presidential vote won't matter, but I'll vote for whoever the most progressive candidate is for every position, as always. It's often two Democrats, so I can't just go by the letter by their name to know who that is.

but, like, also make sure you're not spoiling a more popular Dem if they're at any risk of losing to a GOP

Usually the top two people from the primaries are the ones on the ballot, so it's just one Democrat or the other.
