Sure sure, there are dozens of options. That’s not the issue. IMO internal DNC power is what is at play. It doesn’t matter what Biden does because he’ll retire soon, but a young leader would take power away from corporate backers for decades to come.
Also, to hell with the Times.
He spoke carelessly, but he didn’t exactly say what the author said he said. You can in fact do many things with it. Copyright doesn’t care what you do if you aren’t copying. That’s the definition of the word.
I like how they already frame it as him taking the bait. Because they’re desperate to have an excuse, and they want to blame the moderator or his opponent for tricking him into being an a******.
They know that he will, they know that he’ll say ridiculous things, and they’re trying to come up with as many preemptions strategies as they can.
The question is not what Democrats can do, but who saw this coming and what Democrats could have done for the last two decades. All of us who are old enough and were paying attention know what the answer to that is, and we know that the situation now is one that veteran Democrat lawmakers happily embraced.
Nothing is hidden. Bad headline.
Hahahahahaha. He worked hard to get bribed.
I didn’t think the Supreme Court would go this far. We knew they would be bad, that’s why they were appointed, but they’ve tried and succeeded at making themselves so completely illegitimate, so completely out of touch with what the American public needs. And that only pushes people towards significantly more activism. Who do they hate? Who don’t they respect? Women, ethnic minorities, librarians, anyone who isn’t rich.
No. But even if they were, it’s still unconscionable to kill hospital staff and patients. You can argue that some people should distance themselves from Hamas or bear the risk. I think that’s mostly victim blaming, but at least you could argue that, and perhaps some surprising discussion could occur… Except here we’re talking about people who are sick or injured. They really couldn’t go anywhere.
Right, same story on my end, stuck in the minority there too, always have been…
Oh, I’m going to vote. But also my vote won’t change anything. Not a swing state, never was, minority vote. Meh.
This is just a terribly written headline. The problem is, if you changed the headline, there wouldn’t even be a story.
There’s a fairly large group of Arabs in that area, and some of them might vote for Trump. This is not surprising. If you live in the area, it might even be worth reading more about why they would support Trump. One could try to discuss their positions and see if they really think that Trump would do better or worse than Biden.
It is often mentioned but needs to be repeated here, because the same mistake was made yet again… Any time you try to blame one small group for the outcome of an election, you’re just wrong. Everyone who votes, or doesn’t vote, everyone who campaigns, who supports people campaigning, everyone who creates or runs the systems that assemble and count votes, they all play a role in determining the outcome.
Your comments are contradictory. First you say I should vote, and then you say it’s pointless. Meh.
So then protest voters are just wasting time by not voting since their protest doesn’t matter?
Protest voters actually do vote. By definition.
If that happens, protest voters could have prevented it, the DNC could have prevented it, Biden himself could have prevented it, all of the state governors and state legislators who didn’t fix gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts could have prevented it. You and I could have prevented it if we had gone door-to-door to get more people to the polling places. And so on.
It’s easy to say that any one group could have prevented it, but how do you choose who to target when doing so?
Your desire to support the two-party system above all else is what leads to alienation, on the right and on the left. It’s you who is pushing the country towards a grand revolution, not me.
You know they aren’t. They don’t see the irony, and they certainly don’t feel any personal responsibility.
In the short term, your position is justifiable. But in the long term, it’s anti-democratic. The reasoning you’ve provided here has been used for many elections in the past and can be used forever into the future. But if we’re forced to choose between two bad parties, and there’s never a chance of a third party accomplishing anything good, then nobody will ever represent us.
And if we’re stuck in a non-democracy forever, then it makes sense for people to pursue other more radical solutions. Is that what you want? It’s the natural implication of your message.
The prosecution generally can’t call you as a witness in your own trial. The defense could, but if the defense does then the prosecution is allowed to question you.
Apparently it’s complicated, but if you answer some questions and then stop answering questions, it could put you in a week or legal position than if you had stayed off of the stand to begin with. According to the below website, it’s possible that the judge could order you to answer questions if you tried to stop halfway through. But even if they didn’t, once you’ve gotten on the stand and remain silent, the prosecution is allowed to comment on your refusal to testify, and the jury might take that into account when it deliberates.
From a practical standpoint, trying to get on the stand and answer some questions but then stop before saying anything that could theoretically be incriminating is incredibly difficult to do. Even things that you don’t think might make you look bad could somehow make you look bad in certain circumstances that you cannot predict, and it’s difficult to say exactly the right thing in unambiguous terms when you’re in a highly stressful environment like a trial.

I disagree. Abortion is a massive issue. For some people, it will be the one big issue that sways their votes. I think most politicians in the U.S. understand that repeated flip flopping on abortion is a good way to throw your credibility down the drain.
If we were talking about most other issues, I would agree, with the caveat that many politicians try to have more ambiguous positions and flip flop less frequently.
I think that depends how you write your web scraper. Of course the web scraper is going to load the page, just like your web browser does, which by all accounts is not an issue. What happens after the page is loaded depends on how the software is written.
