If Trump wins, I imagine Ivanka or Eric run in 2028 with the soft understanding that Donald is still running the show. If Donald was younger, GOP might try to remove term limits.

If Harris wins, I expect not much of anything to change. Dems don't have enough of the Senate to enact campaign promises, and if they did, they wouldn't act in it like in the past.

But hey, at least Dems populate government seats with people that seem to want to do a good job. We don't have the owner of private schools leading the dept of education or C-Suite Exxon guys running the EPA or telecom guys running the FCC.

Yeah, the tweet just seems wrong. I just took "based" as "based in reality" and red pill is the matrix choice to see how the world really is.

Based for opinions you agree with, red pilled for opinions "the other side" doesn't want you to have (the other side can also be imaginary)

Undecided voters aren't undecided between Trump and Harris, they are undecided on leaving the couch to go vote.

So I don't really think it's changing the mind of voters and I don't see it motivating people to go vote.

Just seems like an attempt at counter narrative for "Comrade Harris". I don't see it moving the needle.

Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn't a "Dems" problem, it's a two party problem.

Even if state and local elections are ranked choice, the presidential election will still be a first past the post election and the electoral college is still designed for a two party system.

so that people know where Politico stands in terms of being a trustworthy source

I just assume all media actually want a Trump victory, because they get money writing articles and the money was good his first term. If Trump is good at anything, it's making headlines.

From my time on Reddit years ago this question came up.

Some cashier's said they reciprocate the exchange back to the customer. If the customer puts cash on the counter for them to pick up, they'll put the change on the counter in return.

There also was probably some new training from covid where you didn't want to touch people directly, so those training materials probably still exist

The mast majority of legal precedings end with a plea deal.

"Plea guilty to this misdemeanor with a fine and walk out of jail today, or wait in jail for 3 months and fight an uphill court case where people will blindly trust the police and we can fabricate any narrative we want"

"Oh you want to fight and post bail? Okay well for three months we require biweekly drug screenings you pay for, you have a curfew, and if the police can come up with some other bs charge while you're out, we get to tack on bail jumping"

It's not hard to see why people will admit to being guilty while innocent when pleading guilty won't result in jail time

Something tells me it was longer than 0.74 seconds. And typically the person that suffers the consequences of the lead car not paying attention is the cars further back sitting through another light cycle because you can't put down candy crush while driving

Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it's battery at some point?
