Harris got a huge spike in popularity initially because she was NOT Biden. She then spent the remainder of her campaign explaining how she would be Biden exactly but less old, as well as trying to reach to the right. Her polling steadily trailed off as people realized it would be more of the same. If she had the courage to differentiate herself publicly in any way, (ESPECIALLY with respect to Gaza) we might be having a different conversation.

100% correct, dude's a huge narcissist

Nah, let's not pretend Biden is going to do anything cool. I think we all see him for what he is.

American "justice" system at work. This really makes my blood boil to read. I hope this law is overturned, it's beyond absurd - its also malicious.

I think the implications are pretty clear when you read between the lines of painting your political enemies as pedophiles. It's a very easy way to rile people up into a lynch mob. Here's the fascist playbook on this: target a minority (LGBTQ in particular) as some kind of deviant or predator, legitimize vigilante violence against this group, extend that to the next group or anyone who tries to defend the first group. Rinse and repeat until you are able to consolidate power and successfully kill or imprison your political enemies with impunity.

Your mistake is in framing landlord as a job.

Couldn't agree more. "Economy" is just code for rich people's stocks at this point.

Ah, this must be so they can "legally" keep killing aid workers. Truly, the most moral army in the world.

It's a completely valid question when the label "dangerous misinformation" is open to interpretation of whichever way political winds are blowing. There is no supreme arbiter of truth, and not every issue is black and white. I certainly would not enjoy a Donald Trump administration deciphering or filtering "truth" from "misinformation" for me.

It's easy to understand when you realize that the system they benefit from (capitalism) relies on the fear of poverty / homelessness to keep people working long hour and low wage jobs, without time or financial stability to organize and make demands of their employer or government. People are far easier to exploit when they are desperate and living hand to mouth.

I hope Missouri taxpayers like their state government spending their hard earned tax dollars on lawsuits for blatantly unconstitutional laws. Who needs infrastructure, or literally anything tangible when you can just spend more money on losing? Absolutely pathetic.

Wow, seems like highly unethical collusion.
