State government has more power than city government.
Debatable. City ordinances can be very draconian from city to city.

Americans who died because of presidential incompetence, over a million people died because he horribly mismanaged the pandemic
President Biden sure knows how to draw a crowd, and he’s breaking records in all the wrong places! Take COVID-19 deaths, for example—over 400,000 people passed away by the time Trump left office. But Biden’s really upped the ante, with over 600,000 additional deaths by the end of 2022, pushing the total over the million mark. Forget about rally sizes; Biden’s pulling in numbers no one else could match! Who needs campaign stops when you’re setting pandemic records?
And the inflation relief crowd? Oh, it’s even bigger. Back in 2020, inflation was sitting around 1.4%, but Biden’s policies have made sure that number skyrocketed, peaking at over 9% in 2022! Now, millions of Americans are asking for help, forming a line so long it makes Black Friday look like a slow day. From groceries to gas, Biden’s managed to bring together a nationwide crowd begging for relief like never before.
So, while other presidents may have drawn crowds for rallies or speeches, Biden’s hitting historic milestones in both COVID deaths and inflation complaints. With numbers like these, why bother with approval ratings? He’s clearly got the biggest crowds in town, even if it’s not exactly something to celebrate.

The left is now simply seeing democratic government as means to solve problems in society, solving poverty, improving life...
So how is that working out in those cities/states with one party leftist rule for over 50 years?

Hopefully, we can all get a taste for dog/cat meat when the Democrats are through tweaking the economy. Groceries can always get more expensive. That would bring the darkness to white people for sure.

Now all Trump has to do is wear the hammer and sickle hat to show solidarity with the Marxist left. Or maybe an Antifa hood.

I steer away from talking about government size as a problem (because it isn't)
I think it is fair to talk about government size when operating under the premise: Power corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely.
More government is synonymous with more power.

In an alternative system where the government doesn't play a role in creating big corporations through regulations and subsidies, the marketplace would likely be much more competitive. Without protective regulations that favor multi-billion dollar corporations and destroy small competition, smaller businesses would have an easier time entering the market and competing. This creates a more diverse economy where companies are rewarded based solely on how efficiently they operate and the quality of their products or services, not on their ability to navigate complex regulations or lobby for government favors.
If subsidies and and competition regulations were removed, companies would have to rely solely on their own performance and innovation to succeed. This creates a level playing field where businesses that operate efficiently and deliver real value to customers could thrive. Instead of large corporations getting an unfair boost through tax breaks, direct government payments, or competition regulations (cough, green energy)... every business would be responsible for covering its own costs and maintaining the public trust for survival instead of the government. We would see smarter, more sustainable practices and reduced wasteful spending.
Such a system would also result in more local and regional businesses succeeding, with efficient companies spread across the country. Instead of just a handful of mega-corporations controlling entire industries for the entire USA, there would be more regional competition, leading to lower prices, more innovation, and greater choice for consumers. The economy would become more dynamic, flexible, and responsive to needs as companies would have to constantly improve to stay ahead without relying on cronyism or government intervention.
Did I miss anything?

Because "undocumented" means there is no way to prove the numbers. The best you can do is estimate based on the size of tent cities outside the cities and anecdotal crimes since the crime stats are very unreliable as there is no reliable standard for reporting crime.

Kamala definitely won the debate, but didn't score a win in the most important area: "defining herself"
She said repeatedly she was not Trump and not Biden (great, so Biden and Trump supporters are off the table)
What she should have done was to say exactly who she was even if it was a combination of Trump and Biden policies. While the moderators thought they were doing Kamala a favor by letting her dodge questions on her positions, it actually hurt her a lot since this is exactly what she needed to do to move the needle, basically giving people a reason to vote FOR her instead of AGAINST Trump. It was definitely a win, but she lost the key battle on defining herself and thus was a pyrrhic victory. This is why her staff desperately wants another debate.

You couldn't have picked a more self-defeating analogy if you tried, because the thing is that rhinos do have a mind of their own but guns do not.
Why does every issue have to be strawmanned from illogical premises with zero regard for unintended consequences? Has global IQ fallen that low?

It's an objective fact, since that is the only legitimate use of force and the government is differentiated from any other organization by its use of force.
A caveat to that statement would be an impartial application of the protection of rights through legitimized violence.

Kamala is just saying whatever works. Moderate Democrats are more worried about her backers who have a clear Marxist and Eugenic agenda. That Overton window isn't quite set in stone for the far-left tribe.

When women have more testosterone than men, it's a problem. Pregnant women can have a T level of 300. Society just isn't set up to cater to all these passive males. In fact, it's likely they will be enslaved with no resistance. Do you really think Democrats really give a crap about men? They think all men are evil, regardless of T level.
No wonder many of these low T men practice mimicry and try to turn themselves into women just to survive.

In one of the most fascinating podcasts I’ve ever listened to, the members of NPR’s This American Life got their testosterone levels tested.All of the males had very low testosterone; some low enough doctors would recommend medication.And a trans guest talks about how taking testosterone made them suddenly interested in science.
Doctors like to see men in a range of 300-1000 for testosterone.
The highest level at NPR was 270.Second place was 144.
And there were several below that.
That’s crazy, crazy low.

The low intellect Trump base doesn't want to kill fetuses but they don't mind school kids being killed.
Communism has killed far more kids than guns in American schools. This is why we won't allow Commala Harris.
I will gladly pull that trolley switch killing some kids in schools if it saves a million kids from communist genocide camps.

Yep. Someone needs to explain to the left tribe the up front price of freedom, liberty, and justice.
Or we could go full China/Venezuela and explain it the hard way.
The up-front price of Communism is simply your guns and a presumption of innocence. The later costs of quality of life get to be paid in monthly installments.

At least they aren't just pretending to succeed as many colleges do now.
Harvard University has an exceptionally high graduation rate. As of recent data, the six-year graduation rate is approximately 98%. This reflects the university's rigorous academic support and the high caliber of students who attend.
The four-year graduation rate at Harvard is also impressive, typically hovering around 87% to 89%, well above the national average for U.S. institutions.
