To be frank, it's foolish to think your face isn't already attached to your name in innumerable databases, public and private. Costco even has cameras looking at you throughout the store and at the registers. You are not anonymous

It’s not unheard of during a general election campaign for opposing candidates to cross paths as they travel, especially given the compressed map that limits much of the campaign activity to a relative few states that will determine the Electoral College winner.

But also, what exactly is the AP doing here? The Trump campaign purposefully scheduled JD Vance to follow Harris to all these places after she released her schedule. They're not just "crossing paths as they travel," he's literally following her

PS What is Trump even doing this week? Is Vance campaigning alone now?

When Walz delivered the line originally it landed really well. Ultimately, the point is to impact the conversation enough so the people who aren't very plugged in hear it, which I think has worked. I don't think many people here needed to be convinced not to vote Republican

Everyone knows it was rigged, and Donald Trump actually won the Democratic nomination

They're all trying to move up one shell size, so they position themselves as close to the shell they want as possible. If they weren't in order, the chance they'd end up shell-less increases dramatically

Who are you to prevent cockroaches from sharing your kitchen? They're part of this earth too. Why are you complicit in cockroach genocide?

This is called a "false choice," or "false dilemma"

Cool, so anyone who eats meat should be totally ok with eating whales. Thanks for clarifying that, we'll stop trying to get people to stop eating whales now thanks to your advice.

The only point of this is to elevate the Global Alliance for Responsible Media in the right-wing propaganda machine to try to get companies to distance themselves from it. Don't take bullshit suits like this at face value

Edit: Woke up this morning to multiple Republicans in Congress calling for "investigations" into GARM
