16·2 days agoI plan to do exactly that, at the ballot box.
Not if we elect Harris.
More that a lot of the particulate air pollution that’s a byproduct of burning fossil fuels kills people. So when you avoid combustion, you save lives, even if you haven’t gotten the use of fossil fuels down to zero yet.
It’s not even his political opponents doing it; just people who are wildly unstable who think they can attain fame by shooting him as a result of Trump’s own long history of implicitly promoting violence.
It’s on voters to impose them by keeping him out of office
That ‘sprint to the middle’ happens in every general election campaign. You can’t get elected if you don’t do it.
To very different degrees
A ton of Democrats have turned down that money.
It’s link based; vote.gov doesn’t actually register — they connect people with the correct state voter registration website.

A big chunk of Swifties are in their 30s at this point
This was likely prepared well before the debate, and timed to reach a large audience.

Gift link giving everybody access. You can edit this into the original post.
They did just act; a bunch of Republican activists got outed as Russian tools in the process.
Just one smallish outlet where the founders were Russian agents and the staff had a very flimsy pretext about who was paying them
There are some parts of the US where they are not first-past-the-post.
The Greens could effectively run in those places, as well as races where the Democrats aren’t running a candidate.
But when I see them running for local office, they’re basically running to be on the ballot, not mounting a serious effort to win.
