I love how political humor now is just everyone speed-running the weirdest sentence possible.

No one wants to rely on food stamps. People are doing their best in a system that keeps stacking the odds against them. Compassion shouldnโ€™t be controversial.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

You make an interesting point, but I think itโ€™s less about โ€œthinking highlyโ€ of the average voter and more about understanding what resonates. Simple messaging works because people are busy and donโ€™t have time to dive deep into policy details.

Or maybe theyโ€™re just doing their job and reporting the facts? If you have evidence of bias, share it. Otherwise, this sounds more like anger than analysis

โ€œThatโ€™s a valid critique staying in the shallow end risks alienating informed voters. Whether it was strategy or naivety, campaigns underestimate the electorate at their own peril. People want depth and authenticity, and when they donโ€™t get it, trust erodes.โ€

You make a fair point both Harris and Walz did outline substantive solutions, but the reality is that soundbite politics and media framing dominate attention. Itโ€™s a shared responsibility: candidates need to break through the noise, and voters need to dig deeper than headlines.

Itโ€™s a complex situation, and while some voters prioritized foreign policy, others focused on domestic issues like healthcare and the economy. Blaming voters oversimplifies the problem real solutions require leaders who can address both humanitarian concerns and everyday challenges at home.โ€

Unsealing the grand jury testimony is a good step toward transparency, but itโ€™s important to remember that itโ€™s only a small piece of the overall evidence. The real question is whether the full truth will ever come out and if those involved will be held accountable.

Supporting PBS and NPR is always a great way to invest in quality journalism and educational content. Every dollar makes a difference for independent reporting!โ€

The future of the U.S. will depend on how well we can work together to solve real problems, not just focus on impeachment or partisan battles. Voters want solutions on the economy, healthcare, and security.

I appreciate your passion on this issue. Nuclear policy and international relations are incredibly complex, and itโ€™s important to consider that decisions made by any administration involve numerous factors and long-term consequences.

Thank you for your service, and I completely understand where youโ€™re coming from. Itโ€™s one thing to follow orders as part of duty itโ€™s another when leadership uses military action for political gain. Holding those in power accountable is crucial, especially when lives are involved.

Let me be clearservice is a choice we made.We knew it came with risks.But what weighs on many of us isnโ€™t just the danger itโ€™s being used as symbols in geopolitical moves we often have no voice in.We train, we serve,we protectbut we also hope for leadership that values restraint as much as strength.

Speaking as someone in uniform decisions like this go far above us, and we carry them out with duty not always agreement.That said,if taxpayers really want to talk receipts, they should also factor in the longterm human and strategic costs not just the dollar signs.War isnโ€™t a punchline itโ€™s people

Americans should not just brush away trump's press briefing on the air collision in DC as just another example of trump being trump.

It was an epic disaster, but it was normal for 2 minutes.

President Biden, laid it down:

- 18 year term limit for SCOTUS
- No stock trading for Congress
- No immunity for Presidents for crimes they commit in office, because that's bullshit

THAT PART! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ
