Y'all should have a few sample articles per month. Hiding important information behind a paywall when bullshit is free isnt the best path forward.

If the Jedi are taken from their home worlds at a young age and raised on Coruscant, why would any of them have any accent but a Coruscanti one?

Is there an Atlantic article that details a realistic process by which the Democrats could have identified, nominated and adequately funded a potentially winning candidate in the next two months?

Any Democratic candidate who is not Biden or Harris has to start from scratch. Raise millions. Hire thousands of workers. Open up hundreds of offices. Plan legal actions. With less than 4 months to go before the election. The folks who wrote this plan have never worked on a campaign and it shows.

If American politicians were so reticent to refer to international best practices, I'd say look at the data from London re: congestión pricing.

28 years ago it was "lower taxes/less regulation." Very big on things like "Enterprise Zones," low tax area in cities to bring businesses and jobs back to inner cities.

I spent a semester working for their then Executive Director back in the mid 90s. They were just a small government org then. I don't know when they became radicalized.

Biden’s made it clear he's not dropping out. Stop this GOP propaganda. Focus on Trump being a felon, an adjudicated rapist, a convicted fraudster, and a twice-impeached president who let a million Americans die of COVID because his administration THREW AWAY the pandemic response plans left by Obama.

That's not what Faine said, and you know it. They simply described what authoritarianism would like to the majority of the population. This doesn't imply other groups don't matter. Have we learned nothing from the BLM conversation?

Wild to me. Biden came across as old and everyone is coming for his hide. Trump came across as an old, petty, vindictive liar who now would have the power of a king and the Philly Inquirer are the only folks who are calling for him to be kept out of the race. American priorities are weird.
