    Yes she finally has campaign issues on her website. I was saying for weeks until she finally put them up a day before the debate that it was a bad strategy. I was told "look at this NYT article here, and this politico one there, oh and also this ABC one. See? Kamala HAS posted her policies!" Thats not the same thing as being able to post her website link like you are finally able to do now...

    And yes the "read more" is the PDF attachment I mentioned to @rocketsjudoka already

    I posted the link, but I didn't bother reading it. Is there something to be gained from reading the policy proposals of either of these candidates?

    Aren't you glad that Kamala is reading your posts here and taking the action you recommended?

    You're a Democrat's best friend and may have saved the campaign. Thanks.

    Honestly I've been looking over @Scarface281's website all day and I can't find a single explanation why he supports a leak-brained **** clown like Trump who can no longer verbalize coherent thoughts - among his other problems


    Sure hope he posts something soon - he's had months

    Forums like this are for discussion and debate, not for "saving campaignsc or changing the world. Newsflash: politicians aren’t taking notes here. Wonderful why you don't call out your Dem buddies for doing the same

    Vance is handcuffed by his own refusal to tell the truth.

    Sounds like JD is saying that because a fake nothing-burger news was censored in October 2020, he gets to say that the election is unfair & was stolen from his Daddy?
    Scary stuff. Trump gets to shoot a man on 5th avenue and get away with it. Nice to lead a cult.

    It’s deflection and playing to the base.

    I saw the Frontline piece on JD Vance and Tim Walz and it’s noticeable how much Vance has transformed from what he just was in 2020.

    So funny how openly hostile this "reporter" is. Kamala gets the most softball, scripted questions ever, while these "journalists"/activists try to snipe at the conservative candidates with all they have (which is not much, intellectually and morally).

    Well... I may have to take back everything I've said about relying on short videos posted to social media. :D
    This content is amazing, better than the donut shop.

    So why were so many undocumented workers working construction under Trump? Why weren't Americans doing those jobs then?

    MSM generally reports the economy with an upper middle income bias. It's a distortion that grew progressively worse since the Great Recession.

    We argue in this paper that the economic news in the United States has, over the last 40 years, painted a portrait of the economy that strongly and disproportionately tracks the welfare of the very rich. Analyzing a vast, original dataset of news articles in 32 high-circulation US newspapers over this period, we uncover clear evidence that reporting on the US economy is descriptively class-biased. Footnote 1 Specifically, the evaluative content of economic news becomes more positive (negative) in periods in which the incomes of the very rich grow (shrink) and is largely uncorrelated with change in the incomes of less well-off Americans, once growth in incomes at the top is taken into account. Put simply, good economic news tracks, above all, the fortunes of the most affluent.

    I don't know where she did her homework, but it was a poor line of questioning and one that ignores directionless young males sitting on their asses while doing occasional gig work. Not sure if unemployed that have been written off by gov trackers will magically dust themselves off and start committing to real labor but the higher income would be motivation...along with the higher CoL from no one doing any lower paying and menial shitjerbs.

    A bit sad seeing her trying to do a combo (housing and immigration) when it helped him appeal to the people she underreports.

    JD Vance Weirds People Out With 'Embarrassing' Trump-Loving Thanksgiving Post

    If Vice President-elect JD Vance wants people to stop calling him weird, he might want to stop doing stuff like this.

    On Thanksgiving, the Republican posted an edited image of Norman Rockwell’s 1943 Thanksgiving painting “Freedom From Want” on social media.

    The painting depicts a man and a woman at the head of a table where a family is seated for their holiday meal. The woman, wearing a frilly apron, is serving a turkey as the patriarch watches over her.

    In Vance’s version, the man at the head of the table is Donald Trump, the woman is Vance, and the turkey is a Republican-dominated electoral map of the country.
