Democrats could easily run on opposition to Project 2025, which they have done. Project 2025 is policy.

Or maybe they are trying to appeal to voters but a lot of voters support Trump?

That might have been the case in 2016. I think that changed after the election of 2020.

The only alternative to an elected legislature (parliaments are different from congresses) is either direct democracy or one party rule.

Pennsylvania is a swing state and likes fracking politically. As Republicans support fracking, this could be the one issue that convinces some Pennsylvania voters to vote Republican over Democrat.

Aside from racism, it is usually the belief that the new immigrants will either be economic competition for those with jobs or a drain on welfare.

Yes!

But this is really more of a crude simulacrum that can parrot out recorded bits of a person’s life on command.

The Heritage Foundation released one that includes several former Trump staff and the current VP nominee; it is Project 2025. You aren’t going to get anything more precise out of Trump or his campaign.

Harris released her full platform and it is ok. I’m sure people want her to do more, but I don’t know if she has the votes for it.

I don’t think you are going to get a full policy update because the policies in Project 2025 are so bad and the Trump campaign doesn’t want to run on it. That’s why Trump is running on the idea he will stop immigrants from eating your pets.

Yeah, and China’s behavior is very alien compared to the Soviet Union.

Soviet-American relations were created across multiple levels specifically to make sure each side understood the other to help prevent misunderstandings that could lead to war. Some of those communication channels are still functioning today.

In contrast, China chooses obscurity.

A lot of veterans will raz new hires this way. One reason is to establish the social hierarchy. The other reason is to teach the new hires to not be gullible dipshits.

The public spaces seem better maintained than in the USA. Mass transit is also better in general to equivalent American cities. A lot of it feels driven by a relative lack of homelessness in tourist areas combined with continued post war investment in urban areas.

Food seems more expensive in general, but it depends on the country/region.

I’ve never had to deal with EU healthcare besides Covid testing. Turkey is really great for medical tourism.

Europe felt safe in general, but then I feel safe in where I travel in the USA.

You probably also have the friction been .world and the developers’ Lemmy.

There is also a problem that Lemmy seems to be having problems maintaining a good middle ground of Lemmy servers.

Not quite. Cheap money is more that a loan doesn’t cost that much money to pay back. It isn’t the treasury loaning out the money, but individual banks judging based on inflation.

So this a video about a young couple traveling across the United States on Greyhound.

That being said, the only reasons to pick a bus over a plane is due to cost or the inability to drive.

So start going after the fencing network. Make it risky to hold a stolen phone.

It feels weird to have someone else pick my nose.

I would think that it might not serve a government purpose, but it could serve a social one.

For a lot of societies, care of the elderly is supposed to be performed by the children. A marriage has the implication that care isn’t just for their own parents, but the in-laws as well. I expect a divorce like this servers that familial connection, people no longer have to care for their in-laws.

Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

It is a pleasant major Western city, with all the pluses and minuses involved in that.

Yes. It is a percussive instrument similar to cymbals.
