Because I'm being sarcastic. I'm not actually advocating for shitting on poor people, I'm not Republican.

We're Number 1! We're Number 1! USA! USA! USA!
Sure, but if we don't means test these things, how can we hurt the "right" (poor/minorities) people? /s
While I guess areas may be different, the high school I went to, and also the area I now live in, have varsity and JV teams. You had to be good enough to make varsity, but no one got cut from JV. Just belonging on a team is enough for some kids to make it all bearable. Everyone mentions scholarships, but how often is this honestly actually an issue?
What do you need to know? It's a high school team, not the Olympics. Why wouldn't the default always be inclusion? High school is a tough time for a lot of kids, and I'd imagine it's more difficult for most trans kids. If participating in sports makes it 5% easier, then so be it.
There is, it's the constitution. You can't be a member of the House without being 25 or a senator without being 30.
Buried lead:
It's LEDE, not lead.
It took me 40+ years to learn this, just passing it along.
I believe they're confusing the term victim with the word volunteer.
Don't worry, at least there are two pizzas for 50 people!
The protests should be louder, more numerous, and more in their face.
What's the goal of the protests? For fewer people to vote for Harris or for Harris to change her position? Coming out against Israel, even if it's the proper position, is going to turn off a lot of voters. It seems these protests will, if they have any effect at all, cause fewer people to vote for Harris. A Trump reelection is a fundamental threat to every issue I care about. These protests are flawed at every level. Perfect should not be the enemy of good, and Harris is, unequivocally, a positive for Palestinians.
Where’s Joe Biden now?
I'm going to guess the White House, but I'm not sure, it wasn't my turn to watch him.
I assume you're alluding to Harris replacing Biden, which doesn't address my point. Dem and Rep running, one of them will be president.
The United States has a FPTP system, you're never going to get a third party candidate to win the presidency. You would need to reform the system.
Do NOT say fundamental change can’t be made or started in the middle of a general election. Protest works and that scares some of you
You legally cannot change the election process two months before an election.
Protest is fine, but you should ask what your goal is. Trump is worse than Harris on Gaza, Palestine, and Israel. Frankly, it's not even close. So if your protest would cause people to not vote for Harris, then you're helping to elect Trump. Actions have consequences, just be sure you understand what they are.
For the record I'm for a Palestinian state and against genocide, but there are actions that further those causes and actions that don't.

If guns are good, and more guns mean more safety, why are they shooting at someone just because they have a gun?
