    I have a copy of my birth certificate. Nowhere does it say I am white. Nor does it say I am Jewish. So I clearly am not a white woman not am I the child of a Jewish mother.

    They also have pointed out that it says the mom is Caucasian and not Indian.

    Indians have been considered Caucasian but not white dating back long long ago. This is stuff I learned in high school and college.

    It just dumbfounds me the things these people are hanging onto.

    A 78 year old senile racist decides who is really Black. That's weird.

    They can and do already do that. There is a government blacklist all the financial institutions are required to check against when providing service to anybody already. Sure, digitizing everything would make it more efficient to update the blacklist, but this is already a thing.

    We also have soft-locks where if you are poor enough for long enough and rack up enough fees, fines, penalties, payment orders, etc., and your *cough*social*cough* credit score goes down far enough, companies will not provide you services because you are too risky. Or if they do provide services, you get fucked on fees and high interest. This locks people into financial death spirals.

    I generally agree, but I mean at some point you have to say "let's not let Osama Bin Laden sign up for a checking account at Bank of America", right? Is there a line you yourself would draw?

    And to keep playing devil's advocate, what do you think about all the Nazis and fash podcasts and websites that got booted off major payment platforms back in 2016/2017?

    No argument here (besides my typical nitpick that there are no "left" administrations, there never have been, and there never will be, but I get your point.)

    Nah I mean I think we agree on the general state of things, but I doubt we see eye to eye on the particulars. I just don't buy into any of the conspiracy theories. You don't need the NWO/Bilderbergs/Protocols of Elder Zion/Bill Gates/Lizard people/whatever it is you think is "pulling the strings" to explain any of this. None of the ghouls who run the world set the ship ablaze. Their great-great-great grandparents did. This is a fire long-smouldering.

    When a world-spanning industrial society puts profit and growth as the chief priority for long enough, bad shit happens. It's not hard to see. If you could loot the rubble and then jet off to your private island, you would do it too.

    So, like politicians talk a lot and repeat things a lot? Is this some new revelation?

    I don't need to fool myself. This is what politicians do. I've seen Trump do this in every debate and I q&a I've ever seen him do.

    I don't even need to build her up. I've already said I don't like her. But I hate her a lot less than I hate Trump. She's got my vote no matter what she does. There isn't enough time for her to make herself worse than Trump. I don't believe she could even do it by the end of her first term.

    Harris makes history as first Black woman, Asian American presidential nominee
    Rebecca Morin and Joey Garrison, USA TODAY
    Fri, August 2, 2024 at 10:16 AM PDT·4 min read

    1.5WASHINGTON - The party votes have been cast: Vice President Kamala Harris is officially the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee — making U.S. history as the first Black woman and first Asian American from a major party to win that designation.

    Harris secured the Democratic nomination on Friday afternoon, receiving the majority of votes — at least 2,530 — from her party's delegates, just one day after voting opened. The Democratic National Committee held a livestream video hosted by Biden campaign aides and DNC chairman Jaime Harrison to mark the occasion.

    "I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States," Harris said moments after she passed the delegate threshold during a Democratic party-sponsored livestream phone call. "Your dedication cannot be overstated. Your dedication to our country. I know we all feel this way so strongly. We love our country, we believe in the promise of America, and that's what this campaign is about."

    Harris said she will officially accept the nomination next week, once the virtual voting period concludes on Monday. She added that she's looking forward to the Democratic National Convention that begins Aug. 19 in Chicago to "have an opportunity to celebrate this historic moment together."
