First time I saw this online people seemed pretty convinced the dude just lost a sports bet and this is the loser's prize.

Is collaborating with another party a bad thing here? Is there a specific type of collaboration you're referring to? That's a strange thing to lump in to an argument. This is the kind of partisan bullshit that got us here. A completely dysfunctional system where any cooperation between the two parties is viewed as corruption if not fully aligned with a single party's interest.

If the collaboration was to harm the general public, then that's a different story. But a general statement just adds to the vitriol.

You're not giving the birds enough credit here. Only two wars have been waged against them and they're 2-0. Fuckers know what they're doing.

I don't think it's really such a carbrain thing worth picking on.

I can also recognize a decent number of bikes by makes and models. People like to get particular about stuff. Could be clothing, animals, instruments, etc.

Data aside, the GOP has been uniting over the RNC and joining hands for their support of the candidate while the Democrats are imploding and casting doubt on themselves left and right. Will be curious to see how things shift in terms of polling. But at the end of the day, we have two very different candidates with different values. Would not surprise me to see a shift like we did in France and UK where last minute coalitions tip the scales.

It's easy to complain now about disliking one candidate over another, but when left with the final decision at the end of the day, things change.

The supporters aren't going anywhere though, even if the bullet hit. And JD Vance has essentially inherited the MAGA base now such that the movement doesn't die with Trump anymore. Pence was never going to really do that when he was VP. But Vance could carry the torch as running mate and gave the party a more clear view of what succession looks like.

Or alternately you jumped around a lot, make much more than your peers, and getting towards mid/late in your career where you become the target of layoffs for costing more than everyone else.

If you claim to be a porn addict but have never been tempted by or succumbed to spending money on porn, are you really an addict?

Regardless of how the debate goes, Trump supporters will already defend his performance and conservative media will talk about how Trump dominated and humiliated Biden.

Tbf, Biden supporters will probably do something similar.

We are in an awkward position where the opponents are so polarized that debates and discourse does very little to sway the bases. And the so called undecided votes have such eclectic criteria that it makes it difficult to pin down what they really want.
