I felt like the context made the implied "for an american president" / "compared to where he is now" pretty clear but fair enough

well for one you don't actually need to, he's at ~40% favorability right now; the best way to win an election is to appeal to those who don't have a candidate yet that being said if you do want to appeal to trump voters he's winning on every issue except abortion right now so he could work on that

This is true, but only because no president will have any desire to try. I think a lot of people forget that Biden was extremely popular for his first 100 days

part of it is the fact that all the people around him don't have critical thinking skills and blindly went with incumbent = good part of it is that there's no sufficiently corrupt alternative part of it is that biden is deeply stubborn and no one wants to tell him no

I'm glad Dr. Disrespect got banned from Twitch. I once went to see him about a serious medical condition and, worried by his unoptimistic diagnosis, let him know I would be seeking a second opinion. He proceeded to inform me I was ugly as well. I am shocked he maintains his license.

yes they just got moved to the sidebar where the lists and settings buttons are. I think it would be cool if they let us customize our layout so if, for example, I don't need a link to my profile on the home feed I can put something more important there

2016 fundamentally broke a lot of people's brains. they thought the world made sense and trended towards justice because they never cared enough to realize it doesn't and now they think they're authorities on politics because they posted about da freakin cheeto in da white house for four years

The reaction to the Gaza protests reveals that there's a lot of people who genuinely cannot conceive of forming and holding a sincere, principled belief about the world on your own.

I've never understood why so many channels have follower-only chats, especially smaller channels. Is there any data to suggest that it actually makes people want to follow? Surely people will just leave, no?
