“It would just be weird if it wasn’t so dangerous.”

Please tell me there’s a huge fucking white board up somewhere in Harris HQ with “125 ways we can call these freaks weird”

That’s a pretty misleading graphic. It’s their favorability in those states.

The actual poll is

Wisconsin Trump 50 Harris 49
Pennsylvania Harris 49 Trump 49
Minnesota Harris 52 Trump 46
Michigan Harris 49 Trump 49

I can live with those numbers. Thanks for the clarification.

If the Senate polling is accurate then I have to think that Harris has a higher ceiling in each of these states than the numbers (which aren’t bad) are currently indicating. I obviously understand why Biden was lagging well behind the Senate candidates, but if Harris runs a good campaign then I would like to think she can close the gap between her vote share and that of her Dem counterparts.

Nice to have whatever RNC convention bounce was going to happen behind us with an inevitable DNC bounce to come.

480 days, to split between the parents (edit: 390 days at 80% which usually gets upped to 95% by your employer, and the remainder is at a fixed lower level)

That was probably the absolute high point for enjoying American politics, it’s been ever more of a dumpster fire since that point.

  1. You as the biz owner will be paid based on your average income the last 3 years. Unfortunately the gubmint doesn’t cover your entire income if it’s high, but probably enough for someone operating a small or medium convenience store. Afaik other costs aren’t covered.

Note that most employers will cover the difference between what the government covers and your normal wage, so you won’t actually lose any money if you’re employed somewhere.

  1. Ikea will functionally continue to pay out your wage as normal. The government then reimburses Ikea. This is just to simplify things for people.

The process for a regular employee to get coverage has become ridic easy, a few forms to fill out online. Took me maybe 30 mins total for me and my wife when we had our last kid.

The vivek crybaby act is so dumb because the “weird” line IS ABOUT POLICY. It’s WEIRD to have an obsession with other people’s genitals, it’s WEIRD to want to micromanage women’s uteruses, it’s WEIRD to be racist, it’s WEIRD to want to give a bunch more tax cuts to billionaires, it’s WEIRD to put weirdos like kavanaugh on the supreme court, it’s WEIRD to want to get out of NATO, you fucking weirdos
