It's self selecting. You speak out against trump/Maga and a further right candidate primaries you and may win. Or you get so sick of associating with trump/Maga you quit because you know the primary with put you out.

He just can't get over Biden not running anymore because his entire campaign strategy has been look how old and frail Biden is. Without that comparison people see how low energy he is and the very real signs of dementia. I wonder if the rumor is true and he will replace his campaign strategists this close to the election.

Now I wonder did they send multiple gofers to multiple McDs/Wendy's or do you think they really had someone go to a single restaurant and order all at once? Because there is no way one fast food restaurant could prep and hold that many to give to a customer and have it be in edible condition, let alone long enough to take to back and set up.

From my experience, most of those websites that want a specific browser require edge these days. Some streaming sites will only give FHD on edge, and HD streams on other browsers if at all (looking at you Vudu).

Trump looks like he's filling his diaper, and JD looks like he got a whiff of it.

In 2020 Florida was only won by 3.5%. That isn't large enough to be considered a safe state. Now you could argue that it has shifted a good deal one way, and that may be true. It's also worth mentioning Florida has about 0% chance at being the tipping point state. If Florida is even close to turning blue Harris already won, and the closer sunbelt and southern states like NC and Georgia likely have already gone blue as well.

If anything boosting Democrat enthusiasm in the state means more to helping lower elections than it would have an affect on the top of the ticket.

Coming from someone that was using ~~yourfired~~ MAGA2020! Passwords it was pretty obvious IT security hasn't been a high priority.

If they're still working full time, then it isn't retirement. Retirement is an economic situation, not an age.

It's not that surprising when you look at the numbers. Average retirement savings accounts for those on their 60s is around 600k, but median is around 200k. Meaning some people are doing really well, but most won't have much. Average retirement age is low 60s, and average lifespan for a60 year old is about 20 years. A 4% withdrawal for the average retirement account and roughly 2k per month SS check is about 50k per year before taxes. Not great but you can survive on that, but then look at the median and this drops to a bit over 30k. That would be tough, especially if you don't own your home or have major expenses like Healthcare.

Well, he's an election denying Maga billionaires' toady, that lacks any charisma, trashes where he came from and then hitches himself to someone he previously denounced in an effort to gain political power. Oh and he wants to completely ban abortion. He's an unlikable political opportunist. It's no wonder that the publics opinion of him will continue to drop.

For those that are curious their final polling for 2020 had Trump+1 but the actual popular vote Biden had 9% more votes than Trump.

Unfortunate for the passengers that they couldn't arrest him in Dallas, or wait for the return flight to Houston and pick him up after.
