This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they're getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.

Americans, the last Trump presidency was a fucking disaster on so many fronts that ended with a massive pandemic that the management of was sabatagoted by Trump as president while also championing an insurrection.
How the fuck is anybody undecided at this point? You have to have had your head in a hole for the last 8 years to be undecided today.
Lol.
Trump campaign floundering so hard that an assisnation attempt of a former President couldn't dominate the news cycle and they're trying to make it happen 2 months later.
Not gonna happen weirdos.
Have we tried foreplay?
Aka, the Nickleback joke ruiner.
Don't under estimate the tribes from showing up and swinging AZ blue again.
Nickleback would probabaly be happy they're getting played again.
80s?
Southern Washington and the majority of Oregon were hot spots for white supremacist "utopia" migration dating back to before the Civil Rights movement.
As a white dude, it's fucking scary visiting some of those small towns in both states. My wife will even suggest not going to areas due research she's done to verify that were not stepping into a social trap.
CNN changed ownership a while back and it's had a clear impact on their bias and reporting standards. Giving a voice to the "far right" was a final straw of my "trust but verify" stance I had with them before that change.
Obviously I don't trust Fox, OAN (do they still exist?), InfoWars or any of the similar ilk at all. Thats not to say that I write off everything right wing, but there isnt many that pass muster in the US ATM.
There's also a handful of "left" publications that I dismiss offhand due to a history of sensationalism and bad perspectives.
The majority of news is a "trust but verify" stance with me (using a secondary media outlet). It's not a straight "this news source is credible" stance, but whether or not they have a history of news that is overtly biased, sensationalized, or mis-reporting. And then there's the individual article itself.
I down vote the source. CNN is a down vote from me every time. Same with a handful of others.
It's usually a slow trickle of slighted information that resonates with somebody until they've flipped to a view/position contrary to their own interests manipulated by a foreign actor. It's why your previous posting behavior was received so negatively, as you were tripping the "trolldar" of many individuals as it seemed you were posting with a "hidden" agenda. Which I have to say, while I don't always agree with you, your recent posting behavior and approach to discussions is no longer tripping my internal warning klaxons.
But an even bigger example is Q-Anon, where there was a slow trickle of info that slowly worked it's way into so many susceptible individuals.
Each state would have to decide for themselves how it works.
And yes, candidates win all the time due to their opposition dropping out, dying, etc etc. But TMK, has never happened with a presidential election.
