Can't do anything without holding all 3 parts of government - including a filibuster proof majority in the senate.
But yes, it would have been nice to see democrats speaking up about workers wages & universal healthcare. Loudly, broadly and repeatedly.

I'm guessing they were being sarcastic. Unfortunately a lot of people have yet to realize sarcasm is anything but obvious online, at least not in this day and age.
Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung argued in a post to X, formerly Twitter, that the event was really "a Beyonce concert,"
You picked right up on that marching order, didn't ya.
Guess you need to latch on to something since neither Cheeto benito or kid-rock can draw crowds like that...
Just this year I learnt you should carve out the top (stem) part. Apparently there's some nutrients/water, magic, or something, left in it; and if you leave it uncut it will help the rest of the pumpkin look better for longer.
Cut out the bottom, or a hole in the back, instead.
Death penalty
On one hand, I don't believe capital punishment has any place in civilized society.
On the other, there are some in-human people (serial killers mainly, but including e.g. CEOs who have caused thousands of deaths to increase profits), where it just seems a waste of everyone's time, to lock them away in a cell for decades. Some people are just completely beyond rehabilitation, and if they are proven guilty with 99.9+% certainty, what's the point of locking then up and waiting for old age to do the job?
The? Rupert Murdoch has been ~~running a huge propaganda network~~ playing 'defense' for republicans for decades.
I'm so out of the loop, and far behind on movies & series, I had never heard of 'the wild robot' until now. Sounds like a pretty good movie though.
A third party gets campaign funds, and then what?
First past the post voting, or at the very least the US version of it, strongly favors two dominating parties. CGP Grey - Minority Rule...
A third party doing anything but fuck things up, is a delusional fantasy. Change starts with election reform. For instance https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

Rural states have a large advantage in the house, huge advantage in the senate, and of course significant skew in the electoral college. And much of it comes from compromises with slave owners.
Abolishing the EC would not mean rural regions get completely ignored, not only would they have reps and senators still courting their votes (and campaign donations), civilized countries with functional democracies have multiple parties. A rural party would show up, which could court voters in all rural areas, instead of only in swing states.
Congress of going to need to expand a little bit, if all 3,330-6,660 reps should be able to gather at the same time.
