This Kharkiv-Izyum counter-offensive has basically turned the tide of the war monumentally. I can see a collapse up to Luhansk in the coming week(s). If you can expect Kherson to fall before winter ends most operations, Putin could be in trouble!

As good of a model of a campaign a Democrat can run I would say. The question is, should we trust the internal Democratic polls that have Ryan up, up to by 9, or the Republican pollsters that have Vance up by up to 3? Still, Sherrod Brown won by 6.8 in 2018. It can be done!

Also, Quora. Immense influence!

What is most likely for the 2024 Presidential nomination on both parties?

If history is any guide..

With both rising interest rates and a shortage of housing, Congress needs to begin to provide federal incentives for home and multi-unit builders, so that we can have both a tightening of housing/rental prices and a medium/long-run increase in supply that suppresses inflation.

My vote is open field for both parties. Trump will be embroiled in enough issues in order to ever conceivably win, Biden knows he's too old. The problem is how to save face and designate successors, the latter of which is especially a problem for Biden.

All the dunks on this are justified, but I do think it is pretty hard to maintain a lot of close friendships if you are a guy in his 30s with a full time job and one or more kids.

It's ‘Gardinas’ not ‘Hrodna’ ‘Smolenskas’ not ‘Smolensk’ 'Naugardas' not 'Novgorod' ‘Tverė’ not ‘Tver’ ‘Maskva’ not ‘Moscow’ 'Pskovas' not 'Pskov' ‘Polesė’ not ‘White Ruthenia’ #ProperHistoricalNames #Lithuania 🙃

It's. Just. Not. Good. Wokeness isn't even much of a reason at all why, either. Though there are a lot of people on the 'woke' end of things who like to play devils advocate and like to say "it's not SO bad, actually!" (yeah, it's not a 1 or 2, sure! but not more than a 5)

I'm much more in favor of "Latine" than that hideous "Latinx" slur, but we'll see if the community actually adopts it.
