It could have been different. If she’d taken a courageous stand re: Hegseth, and not made the god-awful cemetery video after her “we’re all going to die” remark, maybe wouldn’t have better poll numbers?

RFKjr is monster who is going to kill millions of people. Any attempt to justify or normalize any aspect of his war against US, justifies & normalizes his overarching goal of killing millions of people. He needs to be opposed completely.

Make us healthier; make healthcare more affordable; reduce crime, gun violence and poverty; and expand the availability of affordable housing? Oh, none of those things? But I thought that letting people marry the person they want to was the root of all evil. I guess not.

Hi Joe. You are right. In case your rant goes into the void and NYT doesn’t change this, here is a workaround to play the missed game: change your date settings (Settings/general/date & Time, then uncheck “set automatically” and put in yesterday’s date.) don’t forget to change it back afterwards.
