All this may be true, but it is also missing the point. Trans women are not a threat to women, as a rule, except on the sports field and perhaps other fields where their extra strength is a risk. But what is a danger, is men who pretend to be trans women. It should be stating the obvious, but...

Why would she not? Has she ever proposed that democracy has lost if the majority get their way?

That's simple overuse. All post-war Republican presidents bar Eisenhower have been called fascists by their opponents. The American people simply don't believe that life under any American president- no, not even Trump - was akin to nazi Germany.

It's going to be tricky to make proposals to save democracy if they're going to be founded on the idea that the majority shouldn't win.

Out of interest, who would you blame for the "missing" votes? Biden's government, or the Democrat governors of the swing states? If there is any smidgeon of possibility that 10m votes can be stolen, then it would certainly give credence to Trump's claims about 2020. Surely the point then and...

The American public have already lived through 4 years of Trump's presidency, and enough of them liked it enough to vote him back in. I think we need to be careful of the idea that we in Brighton (or Burnley) have a better grasp of the state of American politics than the people who live...

I presume you're not proposing that someone (presumably the homeowner) should pay for a proper revaluation every year. And I also presume you're not allowing people to let the garden run to seed to reduce the taxes, so it couldn't be on a house-by-house basis. Instead it would be based on...

That's handy. I've been struggling to get a builder to come and fix my wall. Now I can get a computer to do it! :)

Surely as VP for nearly 4 years she should have been spending much of her time watching what Biden was doing, learning from him, and thinking about what she would do the same or differently? The VP has few executive powers, her primary function was to be the "spare" ready to step in.

That wasn't my point. The point was that Peter Ward suggested that Biden won but Harris and Clinton lost because Harris and Clinton are women; I believe that Biden was a much more credible candidate than Clinton or Ward and that's why he won.

If more houses are built, the prices of older houses or houses in slightly less popular areas will fall. If costs of land are excluded, it's certainly possible to build good quality semis for £200k and less. Terraces could presumably be built cheaper. Over most of the country, that gives...

If there is not enough supply, then you need to either increase the supply or reduce the demand. If it's council houses, that's fine because that will increase the supply. Rent controls will do neither; experience of when that has been tried (eg. in Scotland now) is that it will increase rent...

Might be something to do with Biden having a genuine political background that gave good reason to elect him, and H.Clinton and Harris did not?

The primary reason for house price rises is that there are not enough houses in the right place. The answer is to build more. That will reduce the prices. Redistributing residents from one house to another, taxing people on moving house, rent controls, any sort of government intervention in...

You can't encourage downsizing by telling people that you will take their profit in tax.

In his victory speech he said it was his last campaign. Besides, to change the constitution needs two thirds of the senate, two thirds of the House, and three quarters of the state to ratify it. To abolish Roe v Wade just needed the Supreme Court to agree that abortion was a state issue, not a...

Rings a bell. It's what Obama did with Crimea, isn't it?

Every chance the ukraine war wouldn't have happened. Biden's policy was first of all, to tell Russia that America wouldn't stand in Russia's way if they invaded; second, to feed Ukraine with enough weapons to avoid defeat but not enough to win. In other words, the effect of his policy (it's...

Harris has also shown a distinct lack of ability and achievement. There must have been plenty of Democrat candidates who could have put up a better show, but they didn't pick them. As for the safety of Ukraine being at threat, don't place too much reliance on having a Democrat president...

Pol Pot? For suggesting there should be a limit to how much education the state should pay for? The alternative is to carry on subsidising students for as long as they want, regardless of the value of their education, until they reach retirement age.
