Breonna’s case is just unfathomable... this is not just racism, but blatant corruption!
This tweet is everything about this forth coming election and the people who are hesitant to vote for Joe.

If we could step away from America and look at it from a distance... it is kind funny that while the liberals are afraid of the fascists taking over... the conservatives are actually scared of the socialists taking over! Why are fellow americans so afraid of each other because of ideology?
Because they're white supremacists and racists! "No we're not!"
Because They're socialists/communists! "No we're not!"
Each side just continue to smear the other side without any attempt to try to understand the other side... and I really do believe these smear campaigns were all sponsored by the establishment.
Anyway, I will vote Joe, not hesitantly, just not very enthusiastically. My wife is more apathetic... she hates Trump of course, but she likes Trump because he's more friendly to Taiwan... typically democratic presidents were all more friendly and willing to bend over backwards to China... Anyway, she's the type who just doesn't believe either party will make any real difference.
I can't say that I disagree with her that much... pretty sure CA will go to Biden regardless of how I voted. Whether if Biden will actually win? It'll be up to those swing states.
Biden needs to run a campaign not based on fear or hatred of Trump, but one of hope like the one Obama ran. Nothing will win over more votes than hope.
Someone I considered to be a friend has gone conspiracy theorist on me. He's been posting stuff on social media defending the young guy who shot three people in Wisconsin a couple of days ago and implied that protesters were communists, among other things. A little while back, he showed support for an anti-vax politician. He even told people to "Wake up." which is the rallying cry for conspiracy theorists. Another friendship over thanks to the right-wing crazies.
We should try to hold on to our friends... now if they unfriend us, then of course we'll have to just let it go...
Anyway, I just don't believe in "social distancing" when a friend is infected by another ideology.
I am practicing social distancing with a buddy who'd regularly go cycling with other people without masks..., but I don't plan on throwing away the friendship. When the virus thing is taken care of, I shall face him again and tell him to his face that he's an idiot!
I don’t know if this has been discussed yet...I was flipping channels and made a quick stop at Fox News yesterday. I saw Geraldo talking about Kenosha, and specifically about black people’s general fear of the police, and how it’s justified. It was really odd hearing something refreshing like that on Fox News. Then an old conservative black guy came on to debate him and was just talking out of his ass nonstop. It was bizarre. The black guy talked about a specific black congressman (or senator or something) who had been pulled over 18 times, and how it was totally okay. Geraldo was shocked to say the least, as was I. Didn’t stick around for the rest.
Don’t you just hate it when friends do that?
I too have a close friend who has gone all conspiracy nut. He served in the Canadian army and has started talking, annoyingly, recently about the “deep state”. A bunch of us are in a WhatsApp group together and this is mostly what he talks about now. It’s exhausting.
