True, when I look at the numbers there's enormous potential if one side can manage to get the non-voters to get off their couches for once. Even in states that are deeply red.

But half the population is female. I would expect all (except the hardest GOP followers) of them to welcome a female president for a change? The problem with Kamala was just that she was pretty invisible during Biden's presidency and with him pulling out so late she had this whole "second choice" thing hanging over her.

I didn't know that, but I do know that homelessness isn't just a housing problem. A huge number of cases are more mental health related: E.g. even if the person had money they wouldn't be able to live in a stable home. Because the root cause of their lack of money and homelessness is mental health. I would also consider drug addiction to be a mental health issue here by the way which would be a significant percentage of the homeless too.

And that is of course heavily associated with the lack of affordable mental healthcare in the US :( And drug addiction care.

Of course if you would give out housing you would save a lot of homeless, just saying it wouldn't work for all.

Yeah I agree with you 100% there.

To be a latina woman in her 30s would be a definite pick for a presidency over a geriatric male (let's be honest, I like Bernie Sanders but he is very old).

For such a job you'd want someone in their prime age with sharp attention span, with a forward-looking vision, not back. With multicultural experience to better communicate with the rest of the world.

I'm not an American so I can't vote but I would definitely pick her out of those two.

There is no such thing as a right wing democrat unless that person has brain damage.

Compared to Europe, the democrats are definitely right-wing, not even centric. They are very neoliberal and capitalist. Those are all very right-wing ideas. The republicans are currently in the same class as the radical right which is unfortunately making inroads in Europe. But America doesn't really know a real left except perhaps Bernie Sanders.

A female president of a normal age would be an amazing change for the US. Why does it always have to be geriatric males?

To me it has always sucked compared to something like Slack. It has really low information density for example with its huge bubbles around everything. Multi-tenant switching was a really slow and painful process unlike slack which simply has a sidebar for quick switching, and it creates a huge garbage dump in sharepoint when people upload stuff to a chat.

The native app for Linux is no longer supported anyway. PWA is the only official way now.

And yes the UX is terrible. Especially the search function, it always finds unrelated things and almost never what I'm looking for. Same thing with Outlook (the real outlook and the 'new' one), OneNote and Sharepoint.

It is my #1 and pretty much only usecase for copilot. I think copilot for office is not great but searching for my stuff it does do very well. Paying $30 a month to fix something that should have worked in the first place is a bit mad though.

And more generally, that the beneficiary decides their own benefits. I mean this is the mother of all conflicts of interest.
