It's also because they can't run headline after headline with "Trump lied" and expect to get clicks. News has become an engagement farm where in the past newspapers and other media were less, well, engaging.

As is tradition. Punishment for crime in the US is for the poor. You can bet if I took that many boxes of documents and even classified materials home I'd be in prison within the year.

It's one thing to say what you stand for, it's another thing entirely to say you will make something happen. This is what makes people apathetic in voting because it feels like they make promises they have no intention on keeping. Harris supports codifying abortion and I'm all fucking here for it but she has no power to get that through congress, only to talk it up and not veto it.

While that is true, it's also not true. There are more times a president has communicated a plan with guidance and it never went anywhere.

Biden promised minimum wage increases and student loan forgiveness. Neither have happened and not because he hasn't tried but because he is relatively powerless to actually make that happen.

I don't understand why presidential candidates love talking about things that would take an act of congress. Unless congress gets filled with more progressives, this isn't going to happen, even other Dems will oppose it.

The way that autism is used as an insult says otherwise.

I hear people say the world is flat. Never should have been in Vietnam in the first place.

It's really pathetic how many of them lack any critical thinking skills. They're so enfranchised by the whole thing that they would rather lose friends and family over admitting a pedophile isn't fit to lead.
