When Trump says “you won’t have to vote again” if he is elected, that should be a red flag and a warning sign if he is elected this fall, no one will have the chance to vote him or the Republicans out.

      @danijadedd: Here is some additional context. Each claimant is currently expected to receive $9.72. BetterHelp agreed to pay $7.8 million to settle the charges, and as of May 2024, many current and former BetterHelp customers had begun receiving refund eligibility notices. The settlement affects users who signed up and paid for BetterHelp's services from August 1, 2017, through December 31, 2020, across its various platforms. The deadline to select a payment method was June 10, 2024, and payments are being sent by PayPal, Zelle, and check.
      In addition to the settlement, BetterHelp is also banned from sharing consumers' personal health data, including information about mental health challenges, for advertising. The company is also ordered to put a privacy program in place to protect consumer data and direct other companies to delete consumer health and personal information.

You take the money for an ad that is selling a BS product? Why would I ever believe anything you said? Take every interview with a grain of salt. They don't care about truth in advertising. They don't care about telling you the truth and especially they dont gaf about your mental health.Trust and believe.

    It is not lost on me how the DNC used Stacey Abrams back in 2000. Biden even strung her along dangling the VP spot in front of her. I remember Biden thanking her during some news interview for her service when the rumor was circulating that he was going to give her the VP spot. Stacey understood Biden's message, she wasn't getting the job. Thank you Hasan for this interview. I don't know if Stacey harbors any bitter feelings but I think Kamala's campaign could use her extraordinary talents in Georgia. Anyway, I think Stacey Abrams is an asset to our country and would be an asset in the Harris administration if that appeals to Stacey. I hope to see her more in the public sphere. She's great!

      @@dorcas60 you do know there are different factions within the democrats right? There's the elite-sponsored/servicing, and then there's those that don't... just mindlessly accepting whatever they say, as if it's a whole and as if it's always in our best interests, will do absolutely nothing toward real progress. People mindlessly rallied for Kamala, mind you as an uneducated sycophant and as an anti-trump person, of which the establishment/elite dems took full advantage of. We've effectively anointed a king without question or contest. They screwed Bernie in 2016 (yes they've admitted to it, there's video proof, so no I'm not blowing smoke), then 8 red-herrings were brought in to dilute his policy once again in 2020... that's no coincidence. He's a fighter for the ordinary. They're not. They're the ones that also 'chose' and subjected us to the singular option of Kamala this go round, and have gotten their way even without clearly stating position and policy upfront for any of us to hold her to.
      Now, that's not saying she might not be just another establishment-dem stooge that's currently posing as a progressive, but I have yet to hear extremely clear policy and pathways she has in store. I remain skeptical. If she's not really progressive, just like Biden was, then that's bad bad news for all of us. That means next time, the establishment dems will for the 4th time, subject us to their trickery and again make the majority mindlessly march for them. The main message is don't be complacent, use your intelligence with a healthy bit of skepticism... always, otherwise there will never be any real change, paving the way for another 'trump' type admin.
