On the one hand, given the political tendencies of the Fediverse, I constantly see people who are wrong and have to restrain myself from pointing out their errors; on the other hand, it's reassuring to learn that those I thought of as political opponents are actually on my side.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris rallied supporters on Monday with a debut campaign speech vowing to go after Republican nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump like the courtroom prosecutor she once was. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/23/world/politics/trump-harris-prosecutorial-skills/ #worldnews #politics #2024uspresidentialelection #republicans #donaldtrump #us #jdvance #democrats #joebiden #kamalaharris


I don’t want to bang on, but really think we’re glossing over the fact 78 Tory MP’s are standing down rather than face an election - that’s 78, I mean we should be giving this more attention-78, seventy fucking eight
