Republican political candidate challenge [impossible]

Or they can have a trusted adult put them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften them up a bit first

There’s no quote from Biden (aka ‘his words’) in the article you linked saying he’ll be a 1 term president. That’s reality.

Oh you can definitely be both of those things, you just can’t say it out loud publicly. That’s the only thing he messed up in Republicans’ eyes

The answer is money and eliminating competition for money

When someone breaks into your home you don’t have much of an opportunity to figure out why. Many times the reason is not to steal things and buy meth. Sometimes it’s to hurt, rape, or kidnap someone. Why take that chance?

You might be picturing someone slowly walking up and executing a pleading, weaponless burglar in cold blood. In reality these things happen with mere seconds to make a decision about the safety of you and your family. Again, Why take the chance?

If you’re breaking into a house, getting shot is a calculated risk you have chosen to take. If it happens, it’s only your fault. You had the choice to not put yourself or anyone else in harm’s way, and you chose the other option.

Now this is fucking journalism. Answer the damn question Steven, you walking Adderall pill

I’ve had a similar thought about it. The timing of him dropping out was near perfect in hindsight, right after the Republicans locked Trump and Vance in and taking all of the wind out of their sails right when they were eyeing the finish line. If someone planned that far in advance they’ll definitely deserve to gloat!

338k people suddenly registering in one day is news.

As a journalist, the logical question when writing that article would be “why did so many people register suddenly?” And so you write that part into the article/headline to add context for the reader who will probably have that same question.

Otherwise people say “what a shit article, why is this on the front page of Lemmy? I can look up that number for myself”

Very interesting that you think people don’t need help with childcare or affording housing. That’s a really nice and privileged bubble that you live in, I hope for your sake it never pops.

Harris answered the questions she was asked, and she was dealing with a non-participant flinging poo as her opponent. She couldn’t possibly bring up every subject you wanted her to in the time she was given, especially since a lot of that time ended up going to Trump while he screeched over her and the moderators.

Acting like a campaigning politician in a tight race could say “I don’t know if I’ll be able to actually get these things done, sorry guys. Please vote for me anyway though because I’m being realistic instead of optimistic” and still win.

He thought he could put enough pressure on Manchin. He was wrong, but it’s still better that Democrats won the runoff and that he tried to get 50 senators in line like he said he would. He failed. He didn’t lie. No one knew what was going to happen. It’s politics.

If you think every politician on the campaign trail is given you the most realistic version of what they will accomplish, I have a bridge to sell you buddy.

Just pretend you got a new phone today and uninstall it, curse removed!

This is just a terrible take. Is your point that Joe Biden is a secret Republican and doesn’t support the policies he pushes for? Or that Kamala will somehow be more moderate than Biden?

If so, fucking lol dude.

My guess is people want more assurance that she will actually put her foot down with Israel. The policy mentions it but mostly just says “we’ll keep working hard on this like we have been”.

Obviously still miles better than what Trump offers there, but I believe that’s the biggest grievance the left will have with Kamala’s stated policies.

Vote.

I actually don’t think I’ve seen Vance express what seemed to be one single genuine emotion. Even his “anger” feels and sounds manufactured. The one time I felt anything genuine from him was when he was telling the story about how he told his son to shut the hell up about pokemon

It’s an awareness thing. Everyone uses it because everyone else uses it, because it’s the main one people know about, because Meta has unlimited money to market it and scale it, which are exorbitantly expensive.

HE LIKES BEER OKAY?

I don’t disagree with your overall point, but let’s not pretend that the Republicans campaigned with dignity before Trump. Next time they’ll pick someone just as bad for America as Trump but he will be younger and controllable.
