Do polls ever have an explicit option for people to answer "I dislike Biden but I'll vote for anyone to stop Trump"? Because I suspect that a lot of D-for-senate-undecided-for-president answers are people trying to express that in the only way polls give them

One of conservatives top priorities is denying kids the message that they have control over their own bodies and their own sexuality because that makes it harder for pedocons like Trump to get away with raping them

It obviously won't go anywhere in a GOP-controlled House, but "GOP congressmen protected corrupt justices from impeachment" is still a better stance to take than "the justices are corrupt but oh well, it's not like we can do anything about it, keep giving us money for reelection though"

Like, I'd never deny folks their right to have bad opinions, but they seem genuinely horrified by the fact that I can come to the conclusion that those opinions are bad enough that I don't need to hear anything else they have to say.

Here's the thing: the people pulling the fire alarm on Trump v. US are people like Radley, Legal Eagle and @kenwhite.bsky.social , etc. I've followed these guys for years and they are not prone to panic-mongering. They're usually the ones saying, "Take a deep breath". It really is that bad.

Also, it's not the number of prisons that matters, it's the people in them. A state with one huge prison wouldn't be better then a state with lots of small prisons!

High, because they're the new ones. Generally the old buildings are the cheap ones to rent - but only if new ones keep being built. Otherwise the high income people who would have lived in the shiny new apartments take the older apartments and the low income people get screwed.

In some cases it's not even cost-effective compared to demolishing the office building and building brand new apartments in its place. But it all depends on the details of the specific building and it should certainly be legal and encouraged wherever possible.
