If this shift is both A)right and B) representative across states, Harris is looking at over 400 electoral votes on Tuesday. I feel crazy just typing that
I posted twice, automod got one of them, but the other was gloriously empowering. Can recommend 8/10
Edit: I'm definitely a lurker though. We have value and votes, and are important to the ecosystem!
I'm a big fan of Khan's efforts, but I don't know that I'm ready to judge Harris for not giving her a full-throated defense. Her campaign is extraordinarily disciplined and focused in their topics and messaging, and digressing to FTC appointments could easily not be advantageous. I hope Harris wins and Khan is even more empowered for the sake of our country, but the crap of FPTP reality is that Harris simply Has to win
I'm absolutely stressed. I already voted, which didn't help at all. I might need to unplug and dissociate for a few weeks just to get over 5 hours of sleep in a go
Did they at least give you a cut of the spend? Maybe that should be a rule - 10% of the money spent on political ad buys is distributed evenly to all the poor schmucks who have to get bombarded by them!
I voted for it. Seems the best way to avoid electing extremists. Some 30% of polled respondents say it's too confusing, but I think they'll figure it out
His handlers have convinced him that the more people see of him, the less they like him. Trumpists always make up whatever they want to think he means anyways. So it's good strategy - I just can't believe that this is the government that we deserve.
That describes my family. We've done Airbnb and VRBO, but now pretty much stick to hotels. You know what you're getting, price is competitive, to bdint have to wash your own bedding, and a lot of hotel workers are unionized. That's all in addition to the awareness that every Airbnb house could be a home for someone who needs it. I won't be sad if the Airbnb model folds and helps the housing market regain a bit of sanity
I dunno - the timing was right after the RNC and Vance being locked in. Vance didn't broaden the ticket appeal because they thought Trump had the election in the bag. The timing might not have been strategic but it worked out pretty damn well!
Good thing we didn't "defund the police" so taxpayers can keep paying police to violate their rights. This will continue and worsen until there is some incentive in place for police to follow the law
None, I'm afraid. 5% of Republicans voted for Biden in 2020. 5% voted for Harris in 2024. A centrist waste
