Unpopular take: pork barrel politics used to be the driver of bipartisanship, and it's kind of a bad thing that it's gone.

You don't like voting to support sick leave for rail workers? No problem, you can say that your reluctant vote was because the bill also provided funds for a bridge in your state... Kind of transactional and gross but it made for more give and take on both sides.

This is a lie and you've been corrected on it repeatedly.

>He has a long history of just literally being a bum living off others.

His parents supplemented the $150 a month mayor's salary while he was a public servant. He's unconventional and ruffles feathers - there's no justification for calling him a bum.

>there's gonna be certain situation in government where he's not gonna have assistive devices to make life easier for him or he'll have to defend others and he won't be able to under the current circumstances.

Tell me you don't understand the ADA without telling me you don't understand the ADA.

Get out and vote. We can figure out what it all means after all the votes are counted. The polls and media narratives are all over the place. I agree that the notion that Oz has closed the gap is bonkers, but as George Carlin said "think of how dumb the average person is, and remember that half of them are dumber than that".
