What ARE his stances on sports and age of care?

Those are the two main issues and Democrats seem to think they can just refuse answers, despite Republicans hammering them on trans issues every election.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% β€” a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for DemocratsΒ just a few years ago, per Politico.

Do they think that if Medicaid doesn’t pay for emergency care that the cost just goes away?

Stoked Republicans are screaming β€œAmerica First” for medical coverage!

Ready to go on expanding Medicare/Medicaid and reducing private insurance costs- just like voters want.

We’re just going to get hammered on transgender stuff again this election cycle… and for all eternity, right?

Talarico, Sherrill and most other Dems think they can just deflect it, since that’s what the party has done for ten years.
They don’t realize that time’s up

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.

So Dems focus too much on LGBTQ+, climate change and abortion- but (seemingly unknown to Ezra Klein), the polls favor Dems on abortion nationwide.

Reps focus too much on crime and immigration. The polls favored them on immigration before the election, but now their actual policies are unpopular.

Lots of Democrat defectors on this, which is bizarre, since MO is the ONLY state that grabs control of police departments from major cities.

It’s power consolidation at the state level, by Republicans who love politicizing crime and dislike liberal cities. #moleg

Republicans are good at blaming, but not fixing.

The economy, immigration and crime are evergreen issues for Republicans because they can’t be eliminated. They’re
largely subjective and ripe for propaganda and fear mongering

I still can’t believe the Democrats were suckered into a TikTok ban by people like Josh Hawley, when Musk had just taken over Twitter.

White House says TikTok's algorithm and data will be controlled 'by America' in new deal White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Saturday revealed details of a deal reached with China over control of TikTok, sharing that six Americans will sit on the seven-seat board.

The government’s β€œsell or be banned” edict on TikTok was always a threat to our free speech, full stop.

Vague, unsupported claims of propaganda shouldn’t be a basis for cutting Americans off from global speakers and audiences.

Baseball will use some objective reality for calling balls and strikes.
Umpire judgment calls are 100% demonstrably error prone.

Just move on. You can’t get 100% participation. Chastising someone is just divisive energy that could be better spent elsewhere.

"Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors."

I agree that enforcement is the problem
Even if he wins and they drag it out for a year or more-eventually he goes back to ABC. Even if he got screwed and did nothing wrong, they want him to be hated or whatever- like Bud Light. The overall goal is basically to make him a financially damaged asset

The FCC’s explicit threats to ABC’s licenses is clear coercion in violation of the 1A.
Similar threats were recently unanimously found to be violations by SCOTUS.
Even Justice Thomas called those actions β€œham-fisted.

Here’s some facts from Vullo v NRA and then the FCC statement regarding Kimmel

Amid GOP’s National Gerrymander, Democrats Push to Require Fair Maps Amid GOP’s National Gerrymander, Democrats Push to Require Fair Maps

As a redistricting war launched by President Donald Trump and the GOP continues to spread across the country, congressional Democrats offered a ceasefire deal Thursday β€” a new bill to ban mid-decade redraws and force states to adopt independent redistricting commissions.

But if the candidates talk about about more centrist topics for the next 3 years, that would seem to be different than 2020-2024.

It seems to potentially be an issue of β€œfocus.”
Like, I could imagine a candidate not talking about global warming a bunch, but still supporting clean energy policies.
