  3. Glad to hear it, women are the biggest threat to the GOP at the ballot box and will be the ones to save democracy in this country if it’s salvageable at this point. Men also need to wake the fuck up, this isn’t a game, lives are being lost every day because of these anti-abortion laws which prevent women from getting the healthcare they need.

  5. Some people assume that super-wealthy people will all vote for Trump, but that’s not necessarily the case. Even though many wealthy people often support politicians who push for lower taxes, I think many wealthy people also understand that: 1) Any substantial changes to tax code have to pass the House and Senate, and it’s certainly not assured that 2024 will bring in a Republican majority, and 2) Although lower taxes are nice, Trump represents chaos. The shitty non-tax-related policies Trump has proposed could upend order in this country, and negatively impact businesses and foreign relations.

    Wealthy people are usually quite greedy, but they’re also usually skilled at spotting risks. Trump represents a risk to their assets. People who know at least a little about oligarchies knows that not every rich person gets to have power. And when there is no consistent system of law and order, wealthy people could have their wealth confiscated without recourse.

  6. She probably stayed at a holiday inn 🏨 last night

  7. Not sure if that is the endorsement Biden needs, but good on her.

  11. Finish this sentence, “I should care because…”

  14. She probably gives away her money too instead of hoarding it….. nasty liberal……../s

  16. How else is she gon’ get them microchips ins ya blood?

  17. So obviously the convicted felon Trump will now launch attacks against her. What childish nickname will this alleged statesman—and convicted felon—call her by way of his opening salvo of gibberish?

  18. Melissa French Gates reveals that she is a normal person.

  20. It should go without saying. But if it helps swing any votes to Joe, good for her.

  21. Phew. 😮‍💨Now I’m certain who I will vote for.

  23. I’ll now expect Trump to label Bill Gates “a terrible businessman “

  25. Does this mean the dullards are going to gather around a bonfire and burn their computers? Because I’d be happy to build the bonfire…

  29. Me too, but I’m going to guess most people also don’t care about it.
