how is the uk's prisoner rehab program? because i know that policy in the us would never work because our prisons are primarily for punishment and retribution and when people are let out they are left hanging in the wind in a society who treats them less than human waste.

you know that for a fact, or are you just projecting?
prosecutors are charged with proving the city or state or federal government's case against someone who has been charged with breaking the law. if congress doesn't provide extra police funding, doesn't pass more restrictive laws, doesn't backtrack on current policy, and doesn't lock more people up for non violent crimes guess what? she's not going to do that either. i don't see her going the unitary executive that a republican congress would allow a republican president to be because it sounds like she actually respects the rule of law and separation of powers.
the trump legal team has a plan for that. they are going to sue (the swing) states that do not list biden as the democratic nominee. granted they probably won't win, but the real point of the suits is to tie all of this up in court past the point where states certify elections throwing the election to the house where the president is voted on by state delegation, not house members and there are more majority republican state delegations than there would be republicans in the house (i'm predicting that the dems win back the house if only by states having redrawn maps. remember: the house that would convene to actually count the ec votes is sworn in on january 2, meaning this house wouldn't vote on it) and trump gets elected again.
trump runs on a law and order message.
frankly law and order is a bad authoritarian sounding phrase. law and justice is much more platable and less harsh.
what the media bandwagon is doing is similar to the plan trump had in his first term:
-
repeal the aca
-
develop a plan
-
implement the plan
except the time period between steps 1 and 3 could not just be years but could be DECADES. meanwhile, the aca is still repealed and people would suffer.
any plan that calls for removal that also doesn't simultaneously install a replacement is a bad plan. so far the only viable plan is for kamala to take over since she has the legal access to the campaign warchest and already has a ground infrastructure in place. and if kamala takes over biden immediately makes him an immediate lame duck as president since it would be signalling that he can't do the job now. and there is a lot more fantasizing of probable picks as a ticket that do not include kamala harris. which makes all of those fantasy tickets illogical.
this is not sticking with biden because we like him. it's about sticking with biden because making any kind of change to the ticket historically guarantees another trump term.
the republican party has ignored valid criticism of trump for 8 years. unlike biden, trump's valid criticism is far more serious than biden looking and sounding old for one night.
none of those candidates will get enough popular votes to win a state's electoral votes and 2 out of 3 aren't on enough ballots to total 270 votes. the only message a person who is on the left side of politics teaches the democratic party is that your vote isn't worth pursuing since you aren't going to vote for a democrat anyway. instead they will pursue the votes they have the possibility to get. often those people are much more centrist or right wing. you're taking yourself out of any potential influential position of influence.
this is a binary choice. the winner will either be trump or biden. any vote not for biden is an indirect vote for trump because it's not going towards the only other viable candidate. this is how our system works and it's far too late to change it for this year.
there are much better choices.
the problem is that none of them decided to primary the incumbent successful democratic party president.
so it's biden at the top of the ticket. if you didn't want biden to be the 2024 candidate, you should have worked harder to get another democrat nominated in 2020.
he's already decided.
he decided a week ago.
you backhandedly calling for him to drop out only fuels the bullshit media narrative that's not focused on trump's myriad of seriously disqualifying incidents OR project 2025.
there are too many points of failure for me to ever be comfortable using the cloud as a primary storage option.
i've always maintained this opinion when "the cloud" started being touted as being the future. and yet more corporations (including mine) are reliant on it. i mean sure, i can log in on my home computer and have some access to stuff as though i were physically at the office but that convenience ain't worth the headache if the main storage site crashes.
turns out that he felt shitty not because of the food but because he was alcohol detoxing at the same time of his mcd experiment.
I will agree fast food isn't good for you, but at the same time it's also not going to do what spurlock portrayed. just take a look at the workers who have been at a place for more than a few years.
biden won by almost 8 million(?) votes lst time. is that not overwhelming enough? just because most of the votes were concentrated in heavily democratic states will not change the fact that it's still going to be and always was going to be a battle in swing states, and there is not a ronald reagan 49 state win candidate out there.
how about you future senator schiff not contribute to the biden must step down media ushed bullshit story and do what the rest of the base of the party is doing and back your candidate?
