That’s what I’m saying, that’s a winning message, rather than focusing on hauling ashore the few boats deemed most deserving by whatever metric and implying the others are less important and can wait.

IMHO foolish to focus on the most vulnerable rather than how most people are vulnerable in some way or another and putting foremost in policy messaging changes that would help large numbers of people.

I sympathize with the plight of trans folks and other smaller disadvantaged minority groups but half of Americans are barely making ends meet, and America is falling further behind in manufacturing, infrastructure and technology/research, all while bathroom bills and grooming narratives are decade+ old very effective wedge issues.

Help the most vulnerable certainly but put front and foremost how the vast majority would be helped if you want to motivate voters and win converts.

Make all the throwaway jokes you want but a low information voter would probably perceive him the way I described and wouldn’t catch the lies. Trump may be older than in 2016/2020 but he appeared present and even reassuring to uninformed or on-the-fence previous Trump supporter eyes.

His lies seemed more artful and effortless to me, and he stayed calm and lucid the entire time.

Legitimately planning how I’m going to weather a Trump presidency after the debate. Unimaginably disheartening.

Wasn’t the McGovern/Humphrey dem primary done similarly to Sanders/Clinton too? I think I remember my dad saying something like that a long time ago

On another thread someone was posting about how women in France are swinging hard right because of similar messaging, like it went from 23% to 31% pretty quickly. So unfortunately that’s evidence that this might work here and an effective countermeasure should be prepared and tested.

Not a bad idea if you limited it to properly accredited schools. I’ll put this in the “buy Greenland” category of Trump ideas, oddly appealing.

They kill ticks

Do they call them subterrenes (similar to submarines) in the industry or is that term a ridiculous steampunk conceit? Big respect here for those who tunnel

Did your coworkers crack a lot of jokes about The Underminer from The Tick and Krang from Ninja Turtles?

Ok, so a huge circular tube it is then

Honest question could this be feasible with a few dozen satellites positioned above the Van Allen Belts to accelerate particles, and just letting the particles raw dog the solar wind and ride around Earth’s gravity well between each acceleration satellite? Cause that would be badass

I guess I could put a rubber band over the whole thing, no problems the last decade though

Younger gen x here, I just fold my cash over the 3 cards I carry, simple as

Presumably you mean “jibe” - don’t feel bad I can’t remember the last time I saw someone get this right.

Not disagreeing but I’ve never heard Former President Carter referred to as Mr.

I enjoyed it but admit it was imperfect. They should keep remaking it though, I’d happily watch yet another remake it in a decade or so.

Yeah that does look real, not sure if it does more good than harm by putting it on a billboard.

And unfortunately it does seem to be common enough that even as a guy I’ve met a woman who had this happen to her and told me, and assumably many others who didn’t say anything about the experience.
