Tu - your

Tú - you

Why that makes one bitch is beyond me, though. (Maga means female magician)

That's pretty much always what the polls say for the presidential election. I don't know why people expect pollsters to have crystal balls. The election is mostly decided on who is going to actually go vote, and a lot of people don't know the answer to that until election day.

No. No, they don't.

I think it might be easier just to do the division.

Marketing isn't a fan yet. Give it a year, and then we can sell it as efficency.

I don't think that's an example. People housing others in their own homes isn't an example of the perfect solution to homelessness. I don't know if we have a name for that fallacy but it's kind of a "put your money where your mouth is" fallacy. If you aren't willing to give up a lot for the solution, you must not really believe it is a problem/solution.

People being against the ACA because it isn't single payer health care is an example of the perfect solution fallacy. Or people being against a $15 minimum wage because it really should be $25 now.

Nah man. I hate standard time. Prefer it to still be dark at 7 am to dark at 4 pm.

It entirely depends on who you would vote for if pushed to vote for the viable candidates. If you would vote for Harris but don't vote, it helps Trump because that's one less vote he needs to beat. If you would vote for Trump but don't vote, it helps Harris because that's one less vote she needs to beat. So it's true for every individual's worst candidate.

When campaigns/people use this message, they're usually pretty confident them and the person they're talking to agree on who is the worst.

It's the DMV or a passport in the US. Since nearly everyone drives in the US, the main form of ID is a drivers license. They tacked the non-driver ID onto the DMV as well because they were already doing most IDs.

There should be a better way to provide everyone with IDs. But that should be done first before tying such an important right to it.

So you acknowledge the people who get elected aren't who you'd want to be policing your speech. Who then in practice?

No, the point was Stein has 0 chance of getting electors because they're all winner-take-all contests.

Uh, pronouns are just words. They don't have some innate quality that means they had to exist when the entities those pronouns describe began. He/Him is likely about as old as he/him.
