NC governor is a Democrat (and was on Harris's short list for VP)

While the legislature is Republican run our AG & Secretary of State are both Democrats and it will be quite difficult for Republicans to gum up the election I'm sure they will try though

You are correct, he didn't want to talk about economic plans but his advisors are begging him to give them something to try and change the narrative because he is sinking bigly. The crowd there was maybe 2k tops but they (the professionals running his campaign) need sound bites and clips of him looking if not Presidential, at least coherent for the nightly news. But of course Trump can't stay on message so he keeps slipping further in the polls and will be blaming everyone around him and attacks those trying to help him get back to the White House.

You love to see it.

The goal is not only to support the Harris campaign but also to raise the visibility of Mastodon including possibly an official Harris for President presence there. I believe the fundraiser has already convinced ACTBlue to include a share on Mastodon link.

Congratulations on being the parent they felt comfortable coming out to! Son came out around the same age, he's 20 now.

A lot is going to depend on your location. Name change paperwork was a chore but not as much as navigating insurance for HRT. Public school was mostly okay but much was remote due to COVID.

Pm if you have any particular questions.

I've often thought it would be informative to have candidates take the citizenship test.

The abs on those....knees? And the thumb on the limb coming out of those shorts sure is something.

I'm gonna have some weird nightmares

Okay but should we take someone who calls themselves ramenshaman seriously?

Polls have never been that accurate and they're getting worse. Romney ahead of Obama in polls

I'm not suggesting folks get complacent but I wouldn't lose sleep over any polls this far out. The fact that Trump has ANY support is worrying though.

3 bankruptcies and 5 years of not filing taxes, no wonder Trump endorsed this guy.

Mid 50s here. One of the biggest factors for me has been how long it takes to recover from the wear and tear of being active. In my 20s I could be sore in the afternoon from exercise in the morning but be fine by evening. Now 48 hrs is typical. At my age I'm only focusing on maintenance and injury prevention.

Given the congress he has to work with, one could argue he's been a better President than Obama was.

As someone who actually pays for an Athletic subscription in part for Jay's writing on the Bengals I'm pretty disappointed.
