Like just to pick one of dozens of possible examples: literally this is one of the guys who voted for the GOP murder budget: Rep. John Rose (R-TN), and his wife that he met when he was 44 and she was a college junior.

I still think voting should remain easy and accessible to all, but maybe the problem in 2024 was that voter turnout was too high. People who are bad at voting shouldn't be voting.

I use Apple News+ to read the WSJ. it's way cheaper and includes a lot of other papers too (including every major California newspaper). If you hit a paywalled WSJ link, you can open the system share sheet and tap/click "News" to open the article in the News app.

if you want to argue that dead Dems are why this passed I think you need to at least be aware of this fact.

im pretty sure this act only affects *cash* tips so isn't it really a nothingburger (aside from giving Trump a W on that issue i guess)

I ended up giving her money anyway (I figure if Mamdani thinks she is the most worthy of RCV support then that's fine by me)

I saw that video and it's what prompted me to ask!
Because I don't live in NYC, my contributions aren't eligible for matching funds (which is the whole point of that video) so I wanted to see if that's still the optimal strategy.

(I live on the opposite coast so matching funds don’t apply for me)
