More or less inhumane than separating children from their parents and locking them in cages?

Don't forget he's a 12(?) time alleged rapist and tear gassed protestors for a photo op at a church.

Hmmmm, the certainty of being too ill or too dead to be President from a virus he personally minimized and handwaved, versus the non-zero chance of him recovering and winning Presidency versus the 0% chance of him ending up in Prison

I am not saying I want the President of the United States to suffer.

I feel like that him suffering with this is the only way he's going to understand how serious this really is though. Some people have to learn lessons the hard way, much like who doesn't take gun safety seriously... until they accidentally shoot themselves.

If Trump shrugs this off, that just tells him "It's no big deal". That just tells his base "It's no big deal". More people die that way.

If Trump dies, or desperately clings to life, I think that'll put that fear in him and his base.

How many times have you seen articles about someone not taking Corvid seriously... only for them to catch it and take it very fucking seriously in their final hour? It's sad, but sometimes that's the wake up call people need.

I am not saying I want anyone to be sick.

Sometimes the wake up call is bitter, however.

I mean from what I hear the Mask was more for our benefit than the one wearing it.
They provide significant protection for both parties, but yes if person A is infected person B will have a lower chance of catching covid if only A is wearing a mask than if only B is wearing a mask.

I wonder if he's going to move to allow virtual voting. He can't afford to lose many votes from sick senators not being able to come in person.

Trump caused untold spread of the virus and untold death in calling it a hoax. Its ironic that he got it and its also kinda funny. Its almost like karma is real, just deserts and all that. But apparently only conservatives can say that and no one give a shit.

I actually do push back against the "karma" narrative. Let's not forget that most people who get this disease don't "deserve it." Karma minimizes the threat the disease still presents. It's not karma but it is some nice irony.

Bad things happening to people who don't deserve it is just life being cruel as per usual.

I think of Karma as something that occasionally comes in to tip the scales. Life runs at you fast, Karma(When not instant) takes its time.

But it always catches up.

She wants to win. Besides, that ad doesn't hurt Biden. To the extent it protrays the Trump/McConnell relationship as not that good, it would help him.

I've always thought donating to McGrath was dumb (because Mitch is obviously going to win and there are way better uses of your money), but I couldn't have imagined she'd literally be running pro-Trump ads (let alone ones that would spill into another state)!

If your question is "why is it airing in Ohio?" it's probably because Cincinnati is on the Kentucky border and has large numbers of people from Kentucky who work there, travel there, or whatever. And there's a good chance you can't run TV programs anywhere in the area, even on the Kentucky side, without also running in Cincinnati, Ohio.

If your question is "why is she running the ad at all?" then that's a different story.

This kind of attitude is why Democrats lose. Amy McGrath and her supporters have absolutely zero obligation to help national Democrats win. She's running to represent Kentucky as a moderate, and to do that, it's very helpful if she can show she understands the median Kentucky voter. And no, showing you understand people is never going to cause them to vote for the other party.

Technically they are votes for Republican electors, right? So I think they would switch over to Pence probably. It gets complicated by the existence of state laws requiring electors to vote for the winner. Not sure what the electors are supposed to do in that case.

If only there was an alternative, non-terrible candidate that ran for senate in Kentucky.

(Neither will win so it was pointless either way, but McGrath is extra bad)

That's called "bipartisanship." You'll get far more votes for it in red states than you will for the national Democratic platform.

But the sum total of social media posts by liberals on the US coasts probably got Trump elected in 2016.

I think Kantian ethics are helpful here. You evaluate your own actions by looking at what happens if everyone does the same as you. So, if you go to a park and pick a flower, you may think it's okay because the park is still fine. But if everyone picked a flower, the park would be ruined, so we conclude that it's also wrong for you to individually pick a flower.

Never underestimate how sensitive people can be.
