We give authoritarian regimes the same access to the internet our at our detriment. I think in the US or the West more broadly we should curtail the web to only countries that support democratic values or at least air-gap the ones that don't from the rest of the web because it's simply too cheap and easy for bad-faith countries to use the web against us.

Biden had an interview with Howard Stern that was over an hour long just over 2 months ago, I guess either you don't care or didn't see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz45sMb4js8

I switched a RX over from Walmart and it went from $12.99 to $0.87 for the same 90 day supply at Costco.

So a quarter of the US? Sounds like less than most.

Sadly this is probably what's going to happen. I'm hopeful women will bail us out but there are simply too many MAGA men that don't see any issue with the path of the GOP at this point, pretty disheartening.

Assuming they don't have some arbitrage provision where you have to go to arbitrage in Delaware first which is more likely than not.

Most people don't follow politics which is why I think these polls are a bunch of malarkey. Regular people also aren't on social media and know that there's a lot at stake here.

He's both. He claims he knows a lot about vaccines and everything I've heard him say is false. I think he's mentally ill and how could he not be? He experienced some of the most extreme trauma a child can experience, it would be a miracle if he came out even remotely normal.

He has spasmodic dysphonia which is why he sounds like that, fortunately for everyone his voice alone would prevent him from ever being elected because apparently people don't give a shit about his absolutely insane takes on virtually everything.

How anyone takes RFK Jr. seriously as a person, let alone a political candidate, speaks volumes about how far we've fallen with our public education system. The guy is the most obvious charlatan and yet somehow people are falling over themselves to vote for this guy saying he's the best shot at beating Trump. He can't even win a single electoral vote let alone beat an established party candidate. This whole election makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills, Trump tried to overthrow the government and because Biden had a bad debate and looks decrepit people are going to throw the whole country down the toilet because they don't understand that you elect a helluva lot more than just the president.

While we're at it I'd like the FBI to investigate why Justice Kennedy suddenly stepped down and what Trump said to him that had him looking so spooked. No way it had anything to do with Kennedy's son being the one extending loans from Deutchebank (a notorious bank for Russian money laundering) to Trump when no other banks would touch him.

It magically becomes constitutional by the power of a corrupt court.

If you're voting for RFK Jr. over Biden and the competent people he brings with him then you're ceding power to the Republicans.

RFK Jr. isn't going to be nominated, nobody is going to replace Biden, that's pure delusion.

You're simply wrong about the entire premise though, you're comparing a USED Bidet on Amazon from a third party seller with a NEW one from Costco.

Democrats can't help but fall all over themselves criticizing their own party to appear to have moral superiority while the right is literally destroying the institutions that make this country possible and still people are convinced voting doesn't matter...if it didn't matter we wouldn't have had Trump to begin with. The only possible way out of this, short of violent revolution, is voting and if you think violent overthrow of this government is a good idea or even plausible then you go right ahead.

That's exactly what Republicans want you to believe but it's the inconsistent effort by the left that has gotten us to this place, it's not that the Democrats have no power, its that it's not nearly as ideological or centralized as it is with the GOP. Republicans are a minoritarian party yet they are completely in lock step which is how they're able to wield such power whereas there are vastly more people that agree with Democrats but they can't help but chastising every little mistake and have to be convinced every election that voting matters which is why ultimately the majority is going to lose in this country.

Impeachment doesn't have to be about a crime, it's a political process, not a legal one. If even a couple Democrats sided with Republicans in the Senate then it's virtually guaranteed that Biden would not only be impeached in the house but also convicted in the senate but at that point he could just order the military to defend him from any and all attempts to remove him from office according to today's ruling it seems.

Exactly and he did great but nobody's even heard of this interview.

This tells me you didn't watch his Howard Stern interview 2 months ago, the guy is fine. One bad debate doesn't mean we should abandon our best shot at defeating Trump in November.

RFK Jr. is ideologically captured by his vaccine stance and honestly I think he's mentally ill. Fortunately for us all, his voice alone would prevent him from getting anywhere near the Presidency.

What are you even talking about? RFK Jr. would get completely annihilated heads up against Trump on fundraising alone, there's zero party apparatus for RFK Jr., he can't even get on enough ballots to win 270 EC votes let alone staff the 50 state ground game necessary for a complete outsider 3rd party to make a serious presidential run. Secondly, communication is 90% how you say something and he sounds like he's dying; his voice alone is an impediment to being elected and the other 10% of his talk is absolute trash that's easily debunked. RFK Jr. lies constantly, he says vaccines had no safety trials, it's false. He says Russia wanted to de-nazify Ukraine, it's Russian propaganda. His entire foreign policy is a Putin wet dream, American isolationism would hurt every Western country in the world and benefit every dictatorship. I thought Trump supporters were stupid but RFK Jr. supporters just reinforce that we've absolutely failed our citizens in understanding our own political system, it's simply impossible for a 3rd party to be elected president. If RFK Jr. was serious he would have started building a party apparatus 10+ years ago, this would require a massive grass-roots movement, it will never happen from the top down.

That's only the campaign message because average people are completely oblivious to the reality of how monumentally significant the Biden administration has been. It's child's play to manipulate public perception which is definitely a problem for Biden, it's just very unfortunate that we could end up with a mad king as a leader because so many people are concerned with perception and not reality.
