Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden
  • I'm the opposite. Used to be center-right, now I'm truly left. Trump and Covid really made me realize that these people are absolutely out there. There's no reasoning with them. It's all ideology, zero common sense. But they do vote consistently. That is for sure.

  • Ocasio-Cortez: State of US health care is ‘barbarism’
  • Roe died at the hands of the Supreme Court and Trump based on what happened during a Republican majority. Justice approval only requires a simple Senate majority. Filibuster or no filibuster. Result would have been the same.

  • Congrats to all 2024 college graduates!
  • Sure, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. For me, it's about flexibility. And I put a crap ton of money into the house that I will never see again. Just regular maintenance, landscaping needs, etc. Thinks you don't have to think about or pay for when renting.

  • Congrats to all 2024 college graduates!
  • I feel the same way. I currently own a home, but I honestly want to sell. For me, it's mostly about the flexibility. I hate not having the flexibility to up and move if a new job opportunity presents itself or I just want to try a new place.

    There's also a crap ton of expenses associated with owning beyond just the mortgage, insurance, and taxes.

  • Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden
  • Definitely. Conservatives are seeing huge victories that have been in the making for decades, even while in minority. The overturning of Roe being the biggest of them all. They are patient and they make sure to vote every time. It's part of the conservative culture. The liberal voting culture is the opposite. It's flailing and inconsistent, and much of the constituency can't even be bothered to show up on election day. There may be more Democratic leaning voters overall, but that doesn't matter when they don't show up to vote.

  • Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden
  • Fair enough. But running away stomping and screaming never helped anyone. This is a marathon, not a sprint. It's incremental change. Not voting or voting for Trump will never bring about the change they are looking for.

  • Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden
  • Well, I don't believe for a second that Biden and Trump and tied with Gen Z. Right now, it's "free" to claim that you won't vote for Biden or won't vote at all. At the end of the day, Gen Z and most young people will come out and vote for the one closer to their world view. Angry or not.

  • Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden
  • If Biden and Trump really are tied among Gen Z voters, I'm afraid Gen Z voters just don't understand the American election system. If we don't get Biden, we get Trump, which would be infinitely worse for most of the causes they are angry with Biden on.

  • Ocasio-Cortez: State of US health care is ‘barbarism’
  • As someone who has lived in Europe for many years, the healthcare system is one of my least favorite things about the US. Absolute trash. But many people keep voting for candidates who don't want change, so no change it is.

    Trump "floods the zone" as general election tests desensitized voters

    Many voters have tuned out — or priced in — Trump's baggage and legal issues to the point where he's now favored to defeat President Biden in November, according to RCP's polling average.

    A Suffolk poll out Wednesday found that 49% of voters now approve of Trump's job performance as president — matching the highest point he ever reached in office. The big picture: Financial Times columnist Ed Luce calls this phenomenon "the banality of chaos."

    Trump's candidacy is "so far off the charts it is almost paranormal," Luce writes, but most of the former president's controversies no longer break through to the public.

    In 2018, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon argued that the best way to neutralize the media — which he labeled "the real opposition" — is to "flood the zone with shit."

    Why do US teachers have to ask parents to bring basic school supplies?

    I've also seen US teachers spending hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to stock classrooms.

    I spent a lot of time in European schools and I've never heard of teachers having to stock their own classrooms or fundraise for things like playgrounds, etc.
