When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

I'm also aware in a way a lot of y'all don't seem to be that the media doesn't care WHO the Democratic candidate is. They've got their billionaire bosses calling both for a deregulation president and to make this boring ass election more interesting, all so they can make more money.

No because history shows that that doesn’t work out. Plus do you honestly think the press would not immediately turn on her? I still remember how Hillary Clinton was treated, and though I’d like to believe otherwise I don’t think Harris can get elected without first taking over during his term

Among these, I always get stuck on the Senate filibuster. It did not exist in any form while the Framers were alive. The current form, in which a Senator can stop a bill permanently without doing anything, did not exist until the 1970s. But it's treated as sacrosanct.

there were legit concerns that came out of the debate! I shared those legit concerns! since then: 1) the polling has stubbornly refused to fall off a cliff 2) Biden has done enough to convince me, and I think convince anyone else who's being fair, that he doesn't have dementia.

There’s a nigh infinite number of books to be written about the early decades of the FDA. Every claim of “The market will fix it because consumers will demand clean/safe $ITEM” only works if: 1) The market provides such a thing, despite monopolies. 2) It actually is and not marketing bullshit.
