Y'all please don't post anything else that could get us "unwelcome attention" because we already got it once in recent weeks.

"Drawing on the dedication to community service their organizations pride themselves on, Black Greek life members told Salon they feel inspired by what a potential Harris presidency makes possible for their advocacy in service of their sororities' and fraternities' missions."

I agree. Everybody is all hyped up over Kamala Harris, but she still might not win. She’ll win the popular vote, but she might not win the Electoral College. Whoever wins this election, it’ll be a shit show, either way. We all know what another Trump presidency will look like. That’s the issue with that side. The issue with the other side will be about four years of the backlash that only comes with a black president, but also the extreme backlash that will come with a black woman president, which will more likely than not be about violence.

Yeah, so after two terms, Obama was replaced by Donald Trump because Trump had installed himself as the leader of the growing movement of the same backlash we’re going to get if Harris wins. Trump pretty much embraced the frustration of those who believed they had been left behind by Washington elites, to them, ignoring their economic and cultural needs and who believed they occupied an America forever changed from the one that older white Americans remembered, and younger white Americans had once imagined they would grow old in.

Do you only come out of the woodwork during election years when you can insult "liberals" and hope that John McCain will bring another Theta back to the White House?

Whoever she is, she isn’t a Theta. Read her post history. Yikes.

ETA: doing everything possible in my limited sphere of influence to ensure there isn’t a repeat of 2016. And if you’re not worried, you’re not paying attention. Look at the SCOTUS, people. Our republic is in serious danger.

Yes, I agree she is not a Theta (her daughter is) but it was based on a prior comment she made during the 2008 election. Yes, her posts are, um, interesting.

I too am not taking the momentum with a grain of salt. I no longer trust polls particularly those involving the electoral college.
