@rbreich consumers have some power. They can buy what they need not what they want. Snacks, soda, expensive trucks, etc are unnecessary. Companies will react if consumers cut spending
@fmhilton Trump is a puppet. Once his value is gone they’ll look for another one. #republicans aren’t loyal to anyone. Their loyalty lies in power and money
@fmhilton he is sucking the money out of the RNC but he is a puppet. He’s controlled by the Federalist Society and multiple billionaires. Once he’s of no use the Federalists will find a new puppet.
After Trump's 2016 expectation-defying win, pollsters and strategists made adjustments aimed at better capturing Trump supporters.
Now, Democrats say the polls are missing key voter dynamics on their side.
"There are certain communities that are missed," added Warnock, who narrowly ousted Republican Kelly Loeffler in a 2021 runoff.
Still, Democratic Senate candidates in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are running well ahead of Biden and lead their Republican rivals, according to the latest New York Times/Sienna survey.
What they're saying:
"It's early," Sen. Bob Casey (D-Penn.), who led Republican challenger David McCormick by five percentage points in the survey, told Axios.
"Every candidate, whether it's the president or me — we have to work every day to earn people's votes."
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) also told Axios elections in his state are always going to be close, but he predicted Biden would win. He added that he would like to see Biden and Vice President Harris visit Arizona more.
Sen. Marco Rubio won't commit to accepting 2024 election results
Rubio’s refusal to say if he would accept the results of the 2024 election is notable
because he did vote to certify the presidential election for then-president-elect Joe Biden.
At the time, he said, “Democracy is held together by people’s confidence in the election and their willingness to abide by its results.”
My 6 year old says he saw a kiwibird, but we live in Oregon, USA. I'm trying to find similarly shaped birds to show him so we can figure out what it was but although we loved the woodcock dance videos (thanks Mom!) they don't live on this coast. Any other ideas?
Boosts great if you've got birder friends who might have good ideas!
Fuck The Hill and Douglas MacKinnon for this absolutely idiotic analysis. Another hit piece by disgraced purveyor of disinformation, Douglas MacKinnon. Read the room, you Right-Wing moron!
I’m observing a consistent background drone on Mastodon attacking President Biden over US Gaza policy.
While I disagree with the USA’s complicity with Israel in Gaza, and have complained about it often in smaller forums, the consensus is:
Keep some level of perspective and pragmatism. Under no circumstance can you not vote for Biden and expect a better outcome for Gaza and Palestinians. You want to help them? YOU ARE NOT by enabling Trump as POTUS to team up with Netanyahu. 🔥🤔
