"Donald Trump was fired by 81 Million People." - K. H.

We dreaded tuning in and watching the debate last night. We feel sorry for anyone having to get on a stage with Trump. He is the kind of person you would normally go out of your way to avoid. If you see someone like him in your neighborhood, you would just split, high-tail it out of there as fast your legs could take you. Having to listen to the man speak is like taking your brain out of your head, putting it on the ground, and stomping on it with big boots. Listening to his never-ending torrent of B.S. is like driving a nail deeply into your forehead and twisting it. He opens his mouth, and endless bullshit flows. He is a firehose of lies, stupidities, toxic shite. He is relentless in his toxic idiocy. One has difficulty keeping up with the crazy-ass lies, disinformation and outright insanity. Let's just say the man is completely untethered from reality.

We did tune in. We felt it was our duty. Post-debate: Josh Marshall has a bit of blow by blow here.

My take: it was a fabulous take-down of the Bully. Kamala Harris was magnificent; tough, on point, sharp, tuned into the issues, connecting with the voters, she showed she is ready to be President. She also exposed Trump as an old, tired, toxic Bullshit Artist. He blathered, he babbled, it was a torrent of total toxic shite. Oh he's dangerous too. A threat to our Democracy, and our collective mental health.

My favorite line, amongst many great lines from Kamala: "Donald Trump was fired by 81 million People." Amen!

Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope,
