Barely anything isn’t nothing, they still have predators.

You need to compare percentages of votes to determine performance between elections. The size of the voting population grows, so the raw numbers should be higher.

I really hope that guy isn’t allowed to bet on games.

Does it really matter between those two? End of the day, Trump motivated his base and Harris didn’t.

Reaching across the aisle is supposed to be a post election thing.

I really don’t understand the joe Rogan thing. Probably because I just don’t pay attention to him at all. I thought he had a reputation as a very soft interviewer, so her not appearing seems odd.

Pretending the progressive answers are just too complicated for unwashed masses is great mental masturbation, but it’s just bullshit.

The market is people wanting a vacation experience of being on a train.

Seven hours is still way worse than flying though.

You can do new York to San Francisco, LA is overrated anyway.

Is it not possible to just run in a circle endlessly in the game?

Nothing is going to happen to social security, at least for the old people. If you’re in your 30s or less, it might not exist by the time you’re eligible, but that has little to do with trump.

The people that supported trump were always going to support him and be energized to vote. That’s a big part of why focusing on his lies was such a waste of time, it wasn’t going to change any minds. Winning elections is about motivating your base, undecided voters are a wash and opposing voters aren’t likely to massively shift.

Fumbling what should have been a cupcake question to talk about a major campaign promise is inexcusable.

10s of Thousands of people motivated by not getting a week or so of pay because you couldn’t get your act together is bad for reelection prospects.

They could have distanced themselves from the current administration though. They could have acknowledged that inflation has fucked most people, and be far more direct about addressing it than vague price gouging investigations that should be happening now. They could have come out in favor of any and every union striking. They could have had policies to guarantee profit sharing or granting equity. They could have made the totally empty promise of fighting for main street and not wall street.

If you can’t come up with a single sound bite if what makes you better than a fascist, that’s on you.

It’s absolutely a problem if in a single election cycle you go from 60-70% support to just over 50%. In tight elections like the last few that is a losing formula. Especially for Latinos who are the fastest growing minority. If Republicans keep this up they could be getting almost 60% of that vote in 2024, and Democrats are suddenly the ones facing irrelevance based on voter demographics.

So long as you have some savings, a government shutdown is more a vacation than anything. Back pay has always been given to employees.

Or republicans compromised on losing an immigration bill to win the presidency.
