Valid! I guess I feel there’s at least a chance to persuade a Democrat. No way in the world a Republican in this environment is ever going to listen.

You’re right and I hope you understand I’m trying to hear you and learn. That was poorly worded on my part and I’m sorry. I have a trans child who I accept and care about deeply. That’s not the same as a personal experience, of course, but I personally find the choice in candidate trivially easy.

This feels antithetical to the idea of voting in a Democrat, then dragging them to the left, à la Obama on same-sex marriage, no? This is an easy choice: if both are garbage on a single issue, take the one that isn’t also garbage on 100 others. I live in Iowa and desperately want to get the red out.

Can confirm.
Text on a webpage with the title America.gov. A question asks about the Vice President's role in certifying presidential elections. The answer explains the Vice President's duties as President of the Senate.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

As an Iowan, I sincerely hope not. We used to be purple. Hell, we were one of the first states to legalize same-sex marriage. It’s embarrassing what it’s become.

I like how the people in charge of health insurance have somehow been doctors for decades but seem to have only just heard of the concept of health insurance and have no idea how it works.

Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.

If I see an AI-generated thumbnail, I don't click on the video. If I think I'm watching AI-generated content, I click/swipe away. If you're "creating" AI-generated content, I'm biased to think you're a lazy person looking for shortcuts with little creative ambition.

The vice president of the United States being “okay” with his actions helping bring about the end of the world is precisely why government policy should be based on reason and reality, not religious prophecy.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
