It's called the electoral college and it was enshrined in the constitution by wise men. Basically it stops the populous coastal states dominating the elections over the less populated central states. The US is not a homogeneous nation, in case you had not noticed. I'm sure google can help you understand it better.

I find it completely bizarre that it's even a "thing". Apparently it's only a "thing" in America. For some strange reason, killing foetuses is so important to American women that a presidential election could be decided because of it. Happily I live in a country where it wasn't even mentioned in the last election. Perhaps women here are aware of contraception, and they are not in the US.

Good one!

Simples. The only realistic alternative is Harris and IMO they rather be decapitated than vote for her. Just not voting would allow her to win, so they will vote for Trump. Blame the Dems for putting up someone that is so unpopular that people would rather vote for Trump.

I had not thought of that and I have no doubt that it's being considered. I don't think they'd go through with it though, as even they must see what the result would be.

Are the Democrats out of Options to Stop Trump

Clutching at straws are we? He negotiated an end to the worst of them, but your lot haven't stopped complaining about that since. -
What's wrong with wanting to make America great? You'd rather it was a broken mess for another 4 years?

Perhaps he's like another prolific Trump hater on the forum who apparently doesn't care much for Harris, but wants her to defeat Trump as he hates Trump. I'd be happy if Mr Ed defeated Harris ( and Mr Ed might make a better POTUS than either of them ).

Why would he? He's been around as long as I can remember with his tv show and his first wife. Even if he loses I doubt the media will let him retire quietly. They need him for their ratings ( will CNN survive without Trump? ).

Yeah. Language is very imperfect at conveying meaning eg "love" can have multiple meanings. In the case of "socialism" it can be Socialism which is the thing Stalin and Mao murdered millions for, or socialism which is the NHS saving lives.

You might want to walk that back. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/iransource/iran-saudi-arabia-china-deal-one-year/ To some extent, the Gaza war has brought about a degree of Iranian-Saudi alignment while pushing the two countries toward deeper diplomatic engagement. Four days into the war, Iranian President Raisi and Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman had their first phone conversation since their countries restored diplomatic ties. In the call, they agreed on the “need to end war crimes against Palestine” and promote stronger Islamic unity.

UN Warns World on Verge of Missing Critical Climate Goals

Japan . . . it's time for you to take charge! Before they can start making age care androids, they will have to fill the demand for sexbots, and that's going to be huge, IMO. -

It's a bit too soon to count on robots, though androids will certainly be the answer when they are perfected, but that won't be till AI actually exists. Euthanasia on demand would make a difference right now. The only problem would be making enough to fill demand. Facing having to go into a rest home for any but the rich is probably enough to have people wanting such. It would certainly be my preferred choice.
