      Or it means that the opposite is on Russia payroll. Also both can be true at the same time.

    I was VERY critical of Biden, before the debate, before the backing of Palestinian genocide. So i was very happy he stepped down, and am content with Kamala Harris. Russia can try all they want. There is nothing they could do to dissuade me at this point.

      The Palestine thing unravelled my image of that man completely. I don’t have a vote or anything but he does claim to be “Irish” which grates on us no end over here, where most people are anti-genocide.

        I’m skeptical as fuck that you are a real live irish 😑 anyone who is a real Irish American knows the only people who can point to Ireland on the map died in the potato famine. Awfully shady a real live Irish Irishman doesn’t know THAT about being irish😑😑😑 /s

        But foreal I kid. Not even bashing Biden or anyone otherwise but I instantly assume someone’s dumb as fuck if they advertise where there their great great gramps used to fuck while they’re 3-4 generations deep in fuckin Jersey or something.

        The only reason I commented tho is to ask, what are your opinions whe you catch random Americans giving you a good ole’ nationality hickey?

        I mean everywhere you look you can get ancestry history test but I have yet to see a single one at st. Patties day parade, Dingus day, Cinco de mayo, boxing day. If I never have the proof of purchase of where I come from, can I just make shit up? or is that too anti-cultural mis-inappropriation nowadays?

          I can only speak for myself, but when I grew up we didn’t have much here (1980s). When people who were obviously extremely disconnected from our culture showed up claiming to be Irish it felt a bit condescending and like it was a cheap view of our culture that it could be adopted while on a flight over the Atlantic. It seemed quite an alien way of seeing one’s self as well as interacting with people. I thought it cheapened us a bit by implying it just took so little to identify as Irish.

          But I know that for others they appreciated the support that came with that and saw it as a positive. I’ve also learned that American’s often say “I’m Italian/Irish”/etc as short-hand for something else and that it’s not always meant to be taken so literally. I’ve never liked it myself, though.

          It could equally be argued that someone like myself growing up barely speaking our national language is cut off from our culture. I call myself Irish by default because I was born, but it doesn’t mean I have much connection to my culture either. Some of our best poets write in the Irish language and eventually die with minimal fanfare in the media. Bono dry-humps a mic stand and it’s all over social media. It’s complicated and I don’t know the answer to your question.

      They could dissuade you before? You probably shouldn’t be listening to the Russians regardless of who the nominee is…

        Biden was providing the reasons to not vote for him all by himself, he didn’t need any help from the Russians. But its not a worry now so what ever.

        Deliberately taking the most negative misinterpretation of what was said. It almost feels like Reddit again.

    I love how they poo-poo away the idea that their illegal invasion of Ukraine and future is going to be decided by an American election, lol.

    I look forward to her and Ukraine winning both their wars.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The caustic tone from Sidorov and Solovyov provided a stark contrast with that of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov that same evening, who had personified cool aloofness, saying that, with four months to go until the election, “much could still change.”

    Russian President Vladimir Putin, Peskov has often suggested, has bigger things on his mind than the fracas among his political enemies overseas.

    With Moscow in its third year of war against Ukraine, they have jumped on the chaos in the United States as an opportunity to frame Russia as superior to the West and distract from domestic problems.

    Despite not having been officially nominated, Harris appears to have already been designated a prime target by Russia’s overwhelmingly white male propagandists.

    “The entire deep state will be backing Harris,” Sergei Markov, an analyst with Kremlin ties wrote on his Telegram channel.

    Instead, the state news agency ran with a comment from the aide of Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council who loves threatening the West with nuclear annihilation.
