No one criticizes men for choosing celibacy or choosing to remain single.
I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I have to take issue with this. Men do get criticized for choosing not to have sex, or choosing not to marry. A man who chooses not to have sex constantly has his manhood questioned. And any single man who has not been asked when he's gonna find a nice girl and settle down is a man without family.
Trump has been running since 2016, so yeah, pretty close.
And frankly, even in 2012, her campaign has never been shy about taking help from the Republicans to spoil elections for the Democrats. Even if Stein isn't an active collaborator with them, she is at best a useful idiot.
I voted a week ago. Apparently that was a smart move, because my friends who voted this week have been saying the lines are looooooooooong. Which is a good problem to have, IMHO. Love that people are voting early.
That's the problem with the first-past-the-post voting system. It necessarily limits you to two choices, which frequently means you're merely picking the one you dislike least.
I mean, Trump is openly promising to wreck American democracy and use the military against protestors on American soil at this point. There's a lot of problems with Harris, sure, but to say they're the same is to admit your own ignorance.
I mean, that's kind of what they did. The Post was absolutely flooded with opinion columns calling out the paper and Bezos for their cowardice, and most of their editorial board has resigned at this point.
Elon has the ear of the president-elect now (for the time being anyway, until he gets Scaramucci'd). Of course they're going to try to make him happy.
Corporations are sociopaths. They don't care about what's right, they car about what creates the most value for the stockholders.
