What conservatives even give a shit about him in this totally different world? He’s old guard, only cared about traditional republican values like tax cuts for the rich and denying people healthcare. Republicans today need that plus all the MAGA hot sauce on top or they can’t even taste it.
Did they? I remember it differently, I guess. Harris had a very pointed attack on Biden in one of the debates, and when he ended up picking her, I saw it as a sign of maturity and growth from his old-fashioned ways.

Yeah probably not when a fucker like Zaslav is getting a 26% pay increase after literally deleting a $70mil movie for a tax write off. The industry is so spectacularly fucked by greed that it can’t sustain itself any longer.
Maybe, to the extend that we are institutionalists, we need to recognize that our vote doesn’t free us from any other obligations between elections.

Americans are not a monolith, dude. A lot of us have grown up well-aware of the Israel-Palestine conflict, among other nuanced conflicts in the Middle East. Plenty of Americans have not forgotten about Ukraine, either. Quit scolding people on a website likely populated with much more liberal users. Jesus Christ.
We’re a monolith to you because you do not have any interest in reading anything about our deadlock legislative body over literally the shit you began this argument with. Grow up.
My Amex BCE frequently gives offers on streaming services. I basically get caught up in Paramount/Showtime a few months out of every year because they just give me the whole cost back. And I can justify $20/mo for Hulu/Disney with no ads because a staple feature of the card is $7/mo back for that service.
I’m sorry to be this way, but both are acceptable. Lede has never been formally or universally adopted, and is more a remnant of an industry effort toward low-context clarity due to the word being a homonym. There are countless records of journalists using the traditional spelling when using in the context of writing an article.
