#PSA
Getting out ahead of some #Misinformation...

#Jews do not control the #weather.

There is no known device that can engage in "#CloudTheft" to cause #drought.

There is no "#JewMagic" controlling the #hurricanes to hit states where Harris is campaigning.

#Israel does not have a squad of pegasus ponies controlling the skies.

This is basic #meterology and #climatology, and is the very well understood and long-predicted result of #GlobalWarming / #ClimateChange, which is a fully-understood phenomenon, and was warned about in the 70s and 80s, where reports predicted the conditions we are seeing now at the time we are seeing them, well before any of the current people were in power.

There is no group controlling the weather, Jewish or otherwise. The people claiming that are using Jews as a #scapegoat, which is neither new nor based in any sort of reality.

Geez what an insane thing to have to correct both sitting senators in the #US and generals in #Iran on.

I would tell the Iranians to get their shit together and elect better people, but IDK if we are even keeping our #democracy this year, so I guess I have no place to talk.

@Raccoon it's wrong to blame the jews but...

> There is no known device that can engage in "#CloudTheft" to cause #drought.

there is such a thing called cloud seeding.

@Raccoon And this is why I lost faith in humanity

@loganer @Raccoon How are you stealing something if you're actively creating that thing. That's like saying I made a computer for myself but if I take that computer and use it I stole it. Who the hell did I steal it from? myself? Does that mean I'm forced to take myself to court and prosecute myself? do you realize how ridiculous that sounds. Countries have rights to the air above them. They have rights to the moisture above them. How they use it is their issue

@snow @Raccoon

if you make a cloud prematurely dump it's load of water then it wont be dumping that load of water where it would have if not for the intervention.

Snow

@loganer @Raccoon I fail to see the Problem if it was formed in that country and dumped in that country I see no issue. Not to be rude but in my honest opinion we have more pressing issues than to cry over some clouds. Like what's going to be the future of the US because I doubt we are going to have a peaceful transition of power looking back at what happened last time

@snow @Raccoon
if a country over seeds a clouds heading in the direction of another country and the water drops in the first country and not the 1 it was going to,

then the intended country didn't get that water.

...

and ya sorry but idk what you americans are going to do about that election.
let me know which of the lying bastards wins i guess *shrugs*.

I wouldn't call Harris a liar: she's followed through with quite a bit of her promises in the past. Trump is just insane.

Snow

@Raccoon @loganer There's only two options in the US to vote for bad and very bad. We all know who's gonna win. We can't trust the people to vote for someone good. I hope to get out of the US before all hell breaks loose

@Raccoon @snow

Eh look, i just assume all politicians are lying until i see proof otherwise.

and a fulfilled promise can still be a lie of omission depending on the scope of the promise.

Kamala Harris is a good candidate. I think we can get good things done under her.

Trump will be even worse than his first time, historically bad.

From what I am seeing, frustration with the two-party system is reaching a breaking point, the kind of point where we we are starting to see grassroots movements gain serious traction, with ballot measures being put up in some places for things like ranked choice voting, open primaries, and the elimination of the electoral college.

If Kamala Harris wins this week, we will be at a point where we can push for these in a lot more places, making third-parties viable at the lower levels, and eventually eliminating the two-party system. This sort of thing will not only force better options, but help with the division: scapegoating minorities and hyperbolizing the opponent as a "radical socialist" or whatever doesn't work very well in a system where you can be teamed up against and don't want to alienate your opponent's voters.

Don't get mad, go vote.

There is one ideology that pretty much all of this crazy shit is coming out of. Donald Trump is the one who says things like "if I don't win in november, Jews will be to blame". Kamala Harris is the one who will use the platform of the White House to remind people that this is bullshit.

@snow @loganer
I doubt we will, no matter who is elected, just because Trump is so unhinged, and willing to rile up his followers...

But we will have a transition of power, nonetheless, and at the end of the day, Trump's supporters do not actually have the enthusiasm to violently overthrow the democracy. That's why he's going through this election cycle trying to win it rather than just demanding he be made a dictator.

If we want this to stop, we have to stop it here, by voting for Kamala Harris.
