The most controversial thing I believe is "suburbia is good" - it's highly-educated, middle-class, increasingly diverse and cosmopolitan - the beating heart of what's good about America. Just gotta fix the land use situation some
Hardly a surprise, Trump's promise of "tariffs on consumer goods, racist persecution of your neighbors, and criminalize reproductive care" is basically the opposite of what suburbanites want.
Harris leads Trump among voters in the vast middle of American society by 47% to 41%.
It was more than that - Twitter was a place where anyone could talk to anyone, and was creating a social movement For Good. That had to be destroyed, hence the Russian and Saudi backing.

Trump and Biden meet in Cleveland for a Fox News debate. Trump mocks Biden for frequently wearing a mask. He does not reveal that he and his wife had tested positive for Covid three days before the debate, where his wife and children all removed their masks contrary to venue rules.
Just completely giving up on the idea that journalism should contribute to a well-informed electorate. After all our only option is to let Vance lie to the country while Walz spends half the time saying "he's lying".
CBS News Says It Will Be Up To Vance And Walz To Fact-Check Each Other In Veep Debate In other words, Vance will be allowed to spew a firehose of lies with no pushback from âmoderators,â who wonât actually moderate anything because CBS is scared of the right wing reaction.
CBS News says it will be up to the candidates, not the moderators, to fact-check each other.
