neither. 0.0% chance for either candidate.

This level of cynicism is unwarranted. Sure it might be low, but for Harris it’s at least 0.1%.

Weird to use an obscure source to report that Axios (a reasonably well known web presence) reported about this. A moment’s search turned up the original Axios article.

I hear you, but please still get out and vote for Harris/Walz this November. This is about keeping the infrastructure of representative democracy in place so we will be able to work towards those needed changes. If Trump wins, all that is going away, and those of us guilty of thought crimes such as believing in global warming will end up in prison at best.

I don’t know how he would ever have expected anything different from Netanyahu. It’s not like this is the first time he failed to show the “restraint” Biden pleaded for (while simultaneously providing him with an unlimited supply of weapons).

You’ve always got to show up for those school board elections now. Every. Single. Time.

I get the reference from the title-- that’s kind of clever. Too bad it’s paywalled; I guess I won’t get to read it.

Exactly. Because it’s not any better (“plenty horrible as it stands” as I put it in my original comment), the deceptive headline is not only unnecessary, but also taints the entire story with falsehood when it should not be so degraded.

Ok, the title comes from the linked article, but they aren’t banned from “mentioning anatomy”. They are banned from showing pictures of reproductive organs.

I don’t know why some people seem compelled to take a story that’s plenty horrible as it stands and give it a deceptive headline… seems like I’m seeing more of that recently. Are we really in a post-truth era?

You could have actually done the thing and shared the link instead of that annoying animated GIF that won’t stop. We get it, you’re so clever.

Here’s the link you couldn’t be arsed to provide: https://archive.ph/gPlLT

EDIT: Looks like it doesn’t get past the paywall after all. Oh well, the more you know …

I haven’t checked the veracity of reports like this, but I’ve heard this and it makes me think her vagueness has got to do with $$$, not votes.

They aren’t marginalized or ‘left behind,’ though they feel excluded. They want to keep their white, Christian, male privilege.

That pretty much sums it up – do I even need to read the article?

Was Will ever a Trump supporter? Somehow I thought he was smarter than that, but I haven’t read an essay of his in decades.

Harris’s policies are misguided on a number of issues, but her main commitment is to strengthening the nuts and bolts of our democracy, so we will still have mechanisms available to challenge those policies and get them to change.

Not only is Trump a thousand times worse than Harris on every bad policy she has, his primary commitment is to destroying the mechanisms of democratic participation, so that there will be no way to hold the powerful to account.

I’ve read many thoughtful articles in TNR; I’m disappointed they would publish this one.

I highly recommend this video to anyone interested in the history of the Haitian debt: https://youtu.be/WpWb3MTV9bg?si=DHz4ZFaFr2Zhidy-

It’s easy to make shit up for people who never consider whether something is plausible as long as it suits their preferred narrative.

Trump said during the debate that

• In Democrat-run states, doctors routinely commit infanticide.
• Undocumented immigrants, despite their need to remain constantly vigilant about not revealing their illegal status, come in massive numbers to the US at the insistence of Democrats and succeed in registering to vote, and voting (for Democrats, of course).
• Crime rates are plummeting in every other country in the world, because they all are sending their criminals to the US to commit crimes here.
• Immigrants are kidnapping family pets and eating them.

Do Trump supporters actually take all that at face value? I … cannot begin to understand how that is possible, but evidently it is.

Oh, sure, whatever corporate overlords are involved have unfettered access, but they’re unlikely to analyze that data from a public safety perspective. Unhinged players are addicted to their products and no interest in making anything public that could cut into their profits.

There’s nothing quite like not getting laid for fueling a wellspring of easily manipulated misogynist anger
