They've used the same strategy for literally decades and it has only ever worked once. That strategy is "our candidate is not the bad one". And it worked in 2020 simply because that year was absolutely fucked and lots of people were looking for someone to "fix it". Joe Biden might as well have been anyone in that moment. In previous years it...has...always...failed. It failed spectacularly with Mondale, it failed with Al Gore, it failed with John Kerry (honestly, you could had stood up a loaf of bread with arms and legs with a big D spray painted on it and it would have had a better chance than that milquetoast dipshit). It failed with Hillary, and it has now once again failed with Harris. People don't come out to vote against a candidate. And never have. The base shows up sure, but they always will. But the unlikely voters or centrists only show up to vote for someone they believe in.

You should amend this because it's not just "illegal" immigrants they are after. The rhetoric around the Haitians in Ohio is clearly directed at any and all immigrants legal or not.

One word. Tesla.

It became the Apple of automobiles and everyone was rushing to copy them. Then came the fall of Elon and everyone is realizing how full of shit the company is.

The US "Green Party" isn't really a party or even a cohesive group of any sort. They don't actually stand for anything other than "not the democrat". Oh, sure they throw stuff onto a platform for the election to try to convince everyone they stand for something but mostly it's a small fraction of former Democrats who come out of the woodwork every 4 years to obfuscate the presidential election with the net end result of taking a handful or votes that would have otherwise gone to a democratic candidate. After this election is over they will vanish again as though they were never there. This has been their modus operandi since their inception.

I think you underestimate the political power Wyoming wields. For a clue, take a look at one of Wyoming's largest industries.

There's also the fact that a lot of people in power in Puerto Rico (and in mainland U.S.) are making a lot of money off of the grifty laws under which the territory is governed. So when these referendums come up the propaganda machine starts to do its work on the populace.

Sadly, in the anime industry in general, both in Japan and in the United States, anyone who is not on the money/management side of things basically gets shafted.

Yeah but you should see the side of a penny that goes at the back...

Meanwhile when the IT department receives this...

" I'm sorry it seems your repair request has not been received please re-submit."

sounds of paper shredder in the background

Well, this is The Register. Not exactly a paragon of stellar reporting here.

Watch her get out in a year and be invited to go on the Republican lecture circuit to talk about how woke politics is ruining American college campuses.

This isn't a joke, I seriously think this will happen.

What I love is the implication that Satan wants lots and lots of unplanned pregnancies. As if that hasn't been a cornerstone of the Catholic doctrine for centuries.
