  • Harris raises $47 million from nearly 600,000 donors in the 24 hours after Trump debate

    Jump

  • I think you forgot a zero there or added an extra one to the dollar amount. 47 million / 600 thousand = $78.3333 per person

    Average is much more reasonable

  • the biggest reason being that the Supreme Court overturned a prior law to stop super pacs from having unlimited spending in Citizen United. Sure, maybe Congress could pass the same law again only for the court to overturn it 6-3

    You have to fix the Supreme Court for that. It'd be difficult to regulate spending in primaries either because money is "free speech" according to them

  • Before someone else mentions it:

    Yes it would be better to not have a system that needs so much money, but until citizens united is overturned it unfortunately still matter. Plus there being more small donors is good news since it helps campaigns be less reliant on big money

  • Trump says he won't debate Harris again

  • No more presidential debates, but there's still the VP debate unless JD Vance backs out (which he might)

  • Trump rejects second Harris debate

  • Couldn't even commit to the "concepts of a plan" for a second debate

  • Harris widens lead over Trump; voters say she won the debate: poll

  • I'm sure their "concepts of a plan" had it really all thought out

    Conspiracy theorists push wild claim that Kamala Harris donned bluetooth earrings to debate

    Jump

  • Trump said he had a "concept of a plan" for replacing Obama care (i.e he has no plan)

  • Early polls say Harris won the presidential debate

  • For the lazy

    Not mentioned in the article, but Trafalgar, who is notorious for heavily skewing republican is also saying voters think Harris won the debate by a large margin

  • Trump confronted by ‘Central Park Five’ member in debate spin room that he had called to be executed

    Jump

  • During the debate, he doubled down on his full page ad calling for the execution of the central park five. Despite everything since then that's come out strongly showing they were innocent

  • It's why we must always fight these battles rather than just giving in to doom. Battles that seem hopeless can sometimes surprise you

  • Is the press ‘sanewashing’ Trump?

  • I want to know what media you were watching that didn't highten every biden stutter when that man has had a stutter his entire life

  • Harris Vows to End Subminimum Wages in Policy Push Before Debate

    Jump

  • Removing the minimum wage exception to tips does help with that. Part of the reason why tips are inventived

    Plus taxes on tips as they exist already has quite a number of assumptions that tipping will always exist. For instance, assumptions of a minimum 8% tip rate for reporting. Which will be withheld from pay from at least that assumption (which you can get back if you earn less by filling)

  • Harris Vows to End Subminimum Wages in Policy Push Before Debate

    Jump

  • And to clarify, she is also calling for an overall increased minimum wage at the same time

  • Trump's plan to quell protests: 'Deport pro-Hamas radicals'

    Jump
    1. Most of them are not pro-hamas at all and are instead against what Israel has done. Those are distinct things
    2. Do you think unconstitutionally deporting US citizens based on their speech will lead to anything good? It'd almost certainly be extended to anything else as an excuse to remove other dissent on any area - not just gaza

  • Gay student says "Coach" Tim Walz protected him from homophobic bullies

  • Headline undersells how he did this during the 90's during the Don't Ask Don't Tell era. Was not nearly as socially or politically acceptable then as it is now in the US to do that
