    “I think it would be really really silly just to vote for somebody just because they have my name without doing any research, or knowing what they stand for,” laughs Kamala Harris, a mother of three from Seabrook, New Hampshire.

    I try to be polite and understanding, but… not today, Satan:

    What in the ever-loving head-in-the-sand bullshit stupid-ass mother-fucking dumbass thing to say. Who the fuck, old enough to vote, does not know what either candidate stands for by now?

        Oh man, I just heard that my conversation with my coworker apparently convinced him to vote. It clearly wasn’t enough to stem the tide, but it feels like a small glimmer of hope that I was able to get someone engaged

    I cannot understand why 43% of the country is as stupid as her. Like, bitch, one of the candidates took away your body autonomy and is a convicted rapist and fraud.

      Yeah, but Fox news says people are mean to him and something about immigrants raping me! I don’t remember it happening, but Sean Hannity says it did so it must have.

That other shit is bad, but I would think that attacking American democracy itself transcends it!

      Seabrook NH has a lot of the same last name. Not the worst case in the state, but the worst on the coast at least.
