They must not be spending enough ad money.

We need a path to permanently removing money from politics, with harsh penalties for violations. “Nuclear harsh.”
That will change the dynamics of incentives for public office, alone solving most if not all issues.
Should anyone be able to say boldfaced lies, reinforced through coordinated efforts with co-conspirators, both real and fake, at such a rapid pace that the value of speech is reduced to nothing?
If no, how do we fix this issue of coordinated, high velocity misinformation?
One data point doesn’t make a standard.
In general, most CrossFit coaches were well intentioned, but cared more about a rapid pace through reps, rather than the safety of the members.
Weightlifting in CrossFit is better understood as a subtly different exercise. Traditional Weightlifting is a maximum effort exercise, and purely by human physiological limits it has to be modified for CrossFit. If sub-max effort shortcuts were taught, and technical qualification requirements were mandated, the injury rate would be greatly reduced.
I was lucky to learn Olympic Weightlifting in the 90s from a world class coach, but that was just because I was in the right place at the right time.
I’m thankful for the exposure CrossFit brought to the sport, because there’s lifting platforms everywhere now. However, most CrossFit coaches are horrible in regard to providing necessary technique instruction to avoid injury.
One small example that frequently results in injury: you do not “catch” the bar when performing a clean on the palms of your hands. You catch the bar across your deltoids and clavicle.
At a CrossFit gym where I weightlifted for 3 years, I knew of five people needing surgery to repair damage to their wrists from catching a clean improperly on the palms of their hands. They could have just been taught proper technique from the start, but most CrossFit gyms are more concerned with pushing you to your limit immediately, not with finding your long-term potential and avoiding injury.
Hopefully it’s improved, but based on the rapid downward popularity trend, I’d assume they have killed off participants through attrition.
Because fascism.
I’m sure there’s a quid pro quo.
We get shitty choices because our political system allows for institutional bribery.
Our choices will forever be limited until bribery is removed for the system.
As a straight Gen Xer, who’s seen the progress, just get the younger generations to vote.
And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?
Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.
They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.
It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas’ attack.
You’re voting for her. You should be reviewing history to get the answer.
And what percent of the vote will she get and why?
If you think that’s how elections currently work in the United States, nothing I can say will help you.
For a 3rd party candidate to be viable, there would need to be enormous system changes or a very successful write in campaign.
I would love for other candidates to be an option, but that’s currently not the case.
She’s not an option given the current state of the democratic system used in the country.
The only way it works is if people banded together and changed the system, then a 3rd party system becomes viable.
If that’s your best option, that’s what you have to do.
This is how logic and critical thinking work.
Can you provide a better alternative?
If they want any chance in hell, they pick Biden.
Trump rolls out the red carpet for Netanyahu and tries to secure the rights to build a hotel and golf resort on the beach in Gaza.
Revoke his citizenship.
