So where are we supposed to talk about the UK riots if a thread is not allowed to be open because two people brought a fight they had from here? I request my thread to be unlocked, please. @moderators @cgi. I believe it to be unfairly locked. It's not the threads fault that Chekiler and Ryuu started continuing a fight they had. 

Please unlock the thread.



How dobI contact moderators on this site? Specifically CGI?



None of the three finalists – Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly – were shown in the polling data as moving the Harris-Trump national match up beyond the margins, two sources familiar said. The same was the case in a range of the most critical battleground states.

Both Shapiro and Kelly were shown to improve the Democratic ticket's chances against Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and Arizona, respectively, but those improvements were only on the margins, the source added.

I am proud to announce that I’ve asked @walzforgovernor to be my running mate.

One of the things that stood out to me about Tim is how his convictions on fighting for middle class families run deep. It’s personal.

He grew up in a small town in Nebraska, spending summers working on his family’s farm. His father died of cancer when he was 19, and his family relied on Social Security survivor benefit checks to make ends meet. At 17, he enlisted in the National Guard, serving for 24 years. He used his GI Bill benefits to go to college, and become a teacher. He served as both the football coach and the advisor of the Gay-Straight Alliance.

I share this background both because it’s impressive in its own right, and because you see in no uncertain terms how it informs his record. He worked with Republicans to pass infrastructure investments. He cut taxes for working families. He passed a law to provide paid family and medical leave to Minnesotan families.

He made Minnesota the first state in the country to pass a law providing constitutional abortion protections after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and as an avid hunter, he passed a bill requiring universal background checks for gun purchases.

But what impressed me most about Tim is his deep commitment to his family: Gwen, Gus, and Hope. Doug and I look forward to working with him and Gwen to build an administration that reflects our shared values.

Whether you are a supporter, a volunteer, a donor, a member of our staff, or your name is on the ticket: you are part of the people-powered campaign that is going to defeat Donald Trump.

We are going to build a great partnership. We are going to build a great team. We are going to win this election.

So let’s get to work. Join our campaign at the link in my bio.

Can you please unlock that thread about the UK riots. The thread didn't cause the argument, you and Cheklier brought the argument with you. I thought this place wasn't reset era. 

Ask CGI or another Mod, I'm not going to unlock it, I won't stand in the way if another Mod thinks it should be unlocked. Personally, I don't know what good can come out of a thread which justifies violence based on a complete lie but this isn't the thread for that and will be my final comment on the matter. Quite disgusted by what is happening in the UK right now.

That's why it needs light on it and discussion, it's not justifying violence, it's asking the sane question wheter the media are pushing these frustrated people into the far right group unjustly when they seem like everyday working class people. How do I contact CGI?
