What is a "midterm theory"??

Probably something to explain why every single Republican electoral failing over the last 2 years has nothing to do with Trump.

Biden is failing to give younger, nonwhite, and working class voters any reason to vote for him

He has steadily improved in the polls since the SOTU, yeah the state by state polls Lean Trump but the NPVI is Leaning Biden Marist had it Biden +3 do you know what a Biden +5 victory can be 360 EC votes with TX

Biden has good instincts and know he needs to focus on kitchen table issues, which is the same playbook Obama and Clinton used effectively. Sadly his staffers insist he focuses on culture war issues and divisive pandering, which is why democrats have slid big time with working class voters over the last 30 years.

I think I was doing this wrong. I didn't know I was supposed to vote for each class.

You're doing fine. Sometimes one class really is that bad, or in the case of Idaho, everyone but Frank Church is either bad or unremarkable.

I'm going to map these at the end by the classes, and it will be interesting to see how that goes.

Lmao who is stupid enough to buy their guns and ammo with a credit card? Thats how they get you.

20 or 30 years ago maybe this would be a valid question, but nowadays using a credit card for all sorts of things is such an ingrained behavior that no one thinks anything of it. It's "normal" to be several hundred dollars in debt at virtually all times. It may not be a good part of our culture but it certainly is part of it.

Well for one, plea deals are typically offered before the verdict comes in, not after. But in any case, no I don't think this would be legal, at least in the sense that it's not enforceable.

Bizarre that the most obviously true part of his speech - “Being a mother and homemaker is important and rewarding, and you shouldn’t let your career get in the way of that if it’s what you really want” - is the most controversial.

Because that isn't the point he was making.

You mean that’s not the point that you read in?

From a Facebook friend:

Here's a theology lesson: For Christians,the teachings of Jesus and the New Testament presents (among other things) guidelines on how YOU should live... not on how you should control how OTHERS live. Any ‘church” that teaches otherwise is one you should run from.

If the New Testament gives guidelines on how you should live, those same guidelines can be applied to others. Your Facebook friend posted gibberish.

Yeah incel garbage about how women in the workforce is a "diabolical lie" should definitely be read charitably... and LOL at your response to Lyndon. You have no license to force your crap beliefs on other people.

I’m not forcing my beliefs on anyone, nor is Mr. Butker. This speech by a conservative Catholic at a conservative Catholic university should have never been widely publicized. It’s your media that’s forcing his beliefs on you!

Bizarre that the most obviously true part of his speech - “Being a mother and homemaker is important and rewarding, and you shouldn’t let your career get in the way of that if it’s what you really want” - is the most controversial. I’d think that the parts where he explicitly attacks political and church leaders would get more attention.

Why did he only reference women ? Why not take to ask fathers and males for their roles in parenting ? Cathoilc Teaching clearly emphasizes the role of both men and women, both the husband and the wife in creating a happy stable environment for their children. To get more theological, they are both pursuing holiness.

He addresses men after he addresses women. You can find the full text of his speech here: https://www.ncregister.com/news/harrison-butker-speech-at-benedictine?amp

Kindly don't falsely portray Butters remarks as somehow merely being representative of anything resembling "conservative" or "Catholic" views. Particularly those of the college at which he delivered his address. Here is the colleges response to his half-assed remarks which represent neither.

Dare I say this is the most kind, even loving way of charitably saying " Harrison butker is a chode".

And even Benedictine College itself has shared quotes from St John Paul II on the importance of women in ALL Vocations. ( And i would laugh if anyone here would called john Paul II a liberal.)

Woody with another “Ukraine is doomed pay attention to me!” Threads and the first comment is Red Velvet with a variation of his “Ukraine deserves what it getting for daring to want to be Western allied. Long live the BRICS” post. Just a 1-2 punch of awful lol

Makes you wonder what share of his compensation comes in Rubles and what comes in Putin's semen

North Carolina and Virginia would also be heavily affected.  Trump could potentially be the first Republican since George W. Bush to win all of the former Confederacy, and nearly all of the slave states in existence in 1860 -if this was real.

Which makes me think about Mississippi as well, not because it is competitive at the national level, but because the racial polarization in the state is pretty much the only reason Democrats remain remotely competitive at the state level, while it presents a hard ceiling for the Mississippi Democratic Party-and a hard floor for Democratic presidential candidates.  

Even if Trump makes massive gains with Black voters, he will still lose VA. White voters in suburbs are entrenched Democrats atp.
