Given how early life began on Earth, it almost certainly exists on other planets with similar characteristics.
But given how long it took for complex life to evolve, that life will still be bacteria on most of them.

Most Americans are white. Most successful politicians are men.
Insisting on a mediocre diversity candidate for the sole reason they are a diversity candidate is how Democrats will likely game 2028 to the GOP.

Yes, and as a self proclaimed weird guy I don't see how complimenting the opposition makes you a stronger candidate.

I'm still confused as to why Tim Walz got the veep nomination.
Like even if you insisted on a straight white protestant men, he's still not in the top ten.

Also Justin Herbert has two parents and probably at least one living grandparent, right? That makes up at least 3 fans.

This is like how we call them Seal Team 6 to imply there are five other teams.
I'm kidding of course. Usain Bolt has plenty of fans.

I guess it helps that Hinckley is clearly crazy. He's now making a living selling paintings of the same cat over and over again.

The RFK shooting is even more clear. There is photo evidence. There were witnesses. He confessed.

That shooting makes even less sense. Oswald had means, motive, and opportunity. Hinckley was an unemployed loser obsessed with Jodie Foster who happened to run into Reagan as he left the hotel.
Don't get me wrong, he did it, but that was much more suspicious.

You made a claim that 92% of Reason's front covers recently were promoting voting for Republicans. That is demonstrably false, regardless of what you saw them do in the 70's.
