Don't vote like your life depends on it, vote because your way of life depends on it.
Do both
Logically yeah, the latter statement implies former
Ah so my CS logic courses are useful for something. Neat!

Does that make Trump the bad guy?
Duh
do do do do do do do do
Always has been.
I can't remember a time before the Republicunts started obsessing over him that anyone on the planet didn't hate him. It's insane seeing one of the most infamous people alive get so many dick riders.
There was a period of blissful ignorance circa 2006 where the only thing I knew about him was that he was rich and starred in the apprentice. Then a black man became president and the world hasn't been free of his stench ever since.
You do know there's a 1980s video of Trump talking about becoming the President of the United States, so it wasn't "a black man becoming president" that made him decide to run...just sayin'.
These endorsements are important not necessarily because of who is doing them, but for the constant wave of reminders that are more high profile than usual political messages. I think the biggest fight is against complacency as we start seeing the "sweeping poll numbers" from the media near the end. Vote regardless of who you're told is winning, it won't matter until the votes are counted.
I'm not holding my breath but hopefully it increases youth turnout of women. Which is a group that is much more progressive than young men, but both have poor turnout compared to older people.
I expect at least half the reason she publicly endorsed Harris was to seriously piss Trump and his followers off. That seems like something she'd really enjoy.
Probably thinks Billie is a dude like the thought that guy Nicky was a girl
If you can do a good thing for women's rights and simultaneously piss off terrible people, well, that's just a win-win situation.
We all enjoy it
Yes...yes we do
