Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.

Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story.

With love and hope,

    Maybe she wouldn't have said anything at all when it was Biden. Felt much more likely when Harris became the candidate, but - between them - Vance and Trump provoked her enough for it to be an inevitability.

      Oh yay the billionaire pop star with a carbon footprint larger than several developing countries is supporting a candidate that is currently prosecuting a genocide on said countries, but isn't it le wholesome because the crudeness of the other candidates who she shares 99% policy positions with give her "bad vibes"

      You fucking libs are wild. Genocide is not a deal breaker but guys no less genocidal or patriarchal than her own worldview but are just honest about it do and so now you must stan the girlboss billionaire genocide endorser.

        Good Lord, take it down a notch. This exchange reads like this:

        Andrew: "Sounds about right. The candidate's a woman now, and the Trump gang has been doing some intense weirdo shit talking. Seems this was inevitable."

        Nakoichi: "You fucking liberal genocider, fuck you!"

          As if she wouldn't endorse Biden too? I find it pretty weird you are trying to make this about me somehow being misogynistic when all I really said was that it's insane how liberals assume that this is a unique outcome that would not have happened with Biden as the candidate too.

          Sorry if I am annoyed by people positively spinning a billionaire endorsing someone so committed to genocide.

            I did not say anything remotely close to that. You are reading me saying: "Chill the fuck out, homie. That's a very normal thing to say." as if I'd called you a woman-hater baby-killer.

            You ought to reconsider being on 115% Aggro Mode to anybody who isn't ass deep into Juche Necromancy, though.

              That's where you're wrong bub I am still firmly in the no presidents no masters camp and I just find it really annoying whenever I see comments about how we have to like one genocidaire over another or we are implicitly endorsing their opponent when in fact they both support the same reprehensible positions.

              Also obligatory Kamala was totally cool throwing trans women in mens prisons as a prosecutor in my home state. Just trying to get people to think about why they would spin this billionaire endorsing a friend of billionaires in a positive way, which this whole article implicitly does might make them think of why the hell they are going to bat for either of them, because come on we both know that is the whole point of this article.

                  This is just moving the goalposts. All I was saying is that contrary to the OP she would have endorsed whoever the dem candidate was.

                  She didn't change her opinion just because it was now Kamala, the only other interpretation is that she would have somehow not supported Biden which by all accounts is bullshit.

                    Let's just agree to disagree, and both disengage from the discussion. We can discuss it back home over on Hexbear so we don't pollute some other instance's comments with sectarian infighting.
