Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn't a "Dems" problem, it's a two party problem.

Even if state and local elections are ranked choice, the presidential election will still be a first past the post election and the electoral college is still designed for a two party system.

Out first week of one shotting M1S and we did two shot M2S. Still progging 3

Not saying you and I would call it "ethical" but there are for profit companies who will pay for someone's funeral expenses to claim the body and sell it to researchers, universities, etc. So they didn't donate their body to science but their family sold it because they couldn't afford the service on their own.

Maybe not ethical, but legal, and therefore they may be able to claim it's "ethical" in advertising.

Well, for almost a decade the GOP has had time to come up with their vision. They ran on "Repeal and Replace" in the 2016 cycle. But when it came time to vote to repeal, they still didn't have a replace option.

Prices didn't go down when the 2018 tax cuts reduced corporate tax by about 30%, I doubt when the ACA gets repealed and insurance companies can drop the uninsurable people they will lower the prices for healthy Americans, because they are already anchored at the higher price.

Technically that's true, because it changed the law where you can't be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions, but I'm guessing OP means he uses the marketplace thingy instead of having insurance provided by work.

(Also, the affordable care act didn't force you to have insurance, it was a tax penalty to not have insurance, but the 2018 tax act set that penalty to $0)

so that people know where Politico stands in terms of being a trustworthy source

I just assume all media actually want a Trump victory, because they get money writing articles and the money was good his first term. If Trump is good at anything, it's making headlines.

The fact you even look at politics puts you in like, the top 20% of the US population.

I would wager the majority of people that do vote, just look for an R or D next to a name and check the box for their team and move on.

There were about 160 million people who voted in 2020, an unprecedented amount of engagement from the voting populace, and still not half of Americans voting.

People don't really care. Do they have a job? Are their basic needs met? If yes, vote incumbent, if no, vote competition. I expect to see tweets in November asking where Biden went and who is Kamala.

Elon keeps picking companies that give big government grants. Space, electric vehicles, medical, infrastructure. Twitter is like the only company I don't see getting direct government handouts.

He made his money from duping the people who give out our tax dollars.

I think he spent like 10 minutes talking about childhood obesity, blames the problem on the Dems and wants to support Trump.

Didn't the Trump admin basically cut the Michele Obama's school lunch nutrition standards because "kids don't like the lower sodium options, so we're bringing it back because at least they'll eat the processed foods"?

He's just postering to try and get a seat somewhere.

It's a bot, his feelings aren't hurt by imaginary internet points :)

There also isn't like a critical mass of commenters on most topics, so down voting isn't even suppressing points of view yet.

For sure, just offering some silver linings to them :)

I do use a pixel, so the camera bump goes across the entire back, so there is no rocking

To add on to everyone else mentioning it, another benefit to password managers is that they auto filter themselves to the URL. So if you have a password saved for macys.com and get phished to macys-passwordreovery.com, the password manager won't know the URL and offer no filtering. Adding the extra step of having to manually find your password entry should be a flag itself that something might be wrong.
