It wouldn’t be this close if Harris just came out against the genocide in Gaza
It’d be worse. Do you have any idea how much damage AIPAC would do? The majority of americans are siding with Israel. She’d get called a terrorist simp before she even finished her speech. It would be an unmitigated shit show.
I wish the american public was wiser, and recognizing how evil Israel is. But that’s not the world we live in.
If the DNC was fully filled with a bunch of AOC types, we’d be leagues ahead on so many things this country is fucking up.
Granted, that is in part dependent on a country that would accept an AOC style DNC.
Nevermind I finally clicked the link after opening my big mouth
Props to you for taking responsibility for that.
By the time my state got it’s turn, Philips had already dropped out and endorsed Biden. Still voted for him in the primary because he was basically the only other option.

It very much happened. I remember voting for Philips for the 2024 DNC presidential primary.
There wasn’t one for the president this time, but there were still plenty of primaries that were very influential.
There technically was, it just not one where other candidates can really compete. The incumbent is pretty much guaranteed to win their primary.
The bounty itself reads that any person besides local and state government officials may sue a trans person using the restroom that aligns with their gender, with payments including “injunctive relief sufficient to prevent the defendant from violating the provisions of this ordinance; nominal and compensatory damages if the plaintiff has suffered injury or harm from the defendant’s conduct; statutory damages in an amount of not less than $10,000 for each violation of this ordinance; and court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.”
As with the abortion bans, the “”“criminal”“” themselves has to pay.
Yes and no.

As with most things related to the U.S. government, it is complicated, bullshit, and hypocritical.
That’s fair
Because the U.S. is a failed democracy. It labels places like Puerto Rico as a territory.
Good thing I wasn’t talking about what he was convicted of, and instead was talking about what he did. Defense lawyers always try to negotiate and reduce charges to lower ones.
Now answer my question. What would you have us do with him?
I think they’re just saying that everyone should have the option and use it.
and it only takes five minutes.
Not here it doesn’t. There are constant intentional efforts to shut down polling locations in communities with a disproportionate amount of minorities. The intent is to force minority voters to travel further to get to a polling place (which may not be an option due to our joke of a public transit network), and to force them to wait in line for hours at a time to vote.

In some jurisdictions, they’ve gone so far with their voter suppression tactics that they make it a punishable offense to provide food and water for those waiting in the hours long lines to vote.
And that’s all before accounting for the fact that many people need to have two jobs to be stable, which makes it hard to get to the polls even if the lines are short.

The U.S. election system is a joke, and a sham democracy.
Or maybe you could stop being a dick and respect people’s decisions.
Watching For All Mankind makes me feel bad for present-day Russians because even those Soviet Russians have it better.
I just started watching the series and I’m in season 2. I’m loving it so far, and couldn’t agree more.
A life sentence for attempted 1st degree murder isn’t draconian. What would you have us do, set him free?
Trump’s been paraphrasing and praising Hitler for a long while now. This is an apt comparison.
My fiancee has been dealing with this for like 2 years. She got a relatively simple bloodwork panel done, and the NP who ordered it fucked up the code/paperwork for it by labeling it as something more expensive than it actually was, which resulted in the insurance not covering it, which resulted in a $1k bill for what should have been a $20 test.
The bill was sent to collections, and they were told that the bill was erroneous because the NP fucked up the paperwork. They’re still calling 2 years later. They don’t seem to get the hint that my fiancee is disabled, has no wages, and no way to pay it*, and therefore they ain’t getting shit.
* Fortunately it is within my means to pay for it for her, but she has no wages for them to garnish, they can’t mess with her credit score over it, and so they have no pathway to do any harm for failure to pay. So fuck em.
