  • I think discussion is fine. I think the article fosters discussion. I also completely agree with them sidelining what could give the Republicans ammo and votes in this critical time.

    But I’m just a Canadian who hates headline gore and want to point out that:

    Harris isn’t pushing Medicare for All anymore. Progressives say that’s OK.

    Is a shitty headline. It doesn’t match the tone or even fully the bias of the article and is click baity at best. It instantly paints the discussion for headline readers and article for the clickers as contrarian.

    Harris isn’t pushing Medicare for All anymore. Is that OK?

    Is what a headline should look like in this case and would probably foster discussion and less downvotes. But one can’t even tell shitty journalism from manipulation these days, can we?

    Edit: whipped out my black highlighter for some bolding.


  • Unpopular opinion time, but hardly any. They leave me alone for the most part since I got old and all the bugs are gone and I just live and let live unless they’re also around a less… oddly benevolent and susceptible… family member.

    As counterpoint, I grew up as an outdoorsy person in northern BC, I know skeeters and have probably killed more than many downvoters could imagine except Manitobans.
