>Because the school is not a jury

No. Punishing the victim along with the assailant is not justice, it's not fair, it's not moral, and it's not protecting anybody.

Find out who is the bully, and discipline them up to an including legal charges. Charge the parents if they try to stop it.

TEACH THE ASSAILANTS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

I was bullied severely in elementary school by a few classmates, who also physically assaulted me on the regular, and the school didn't do jack shit about it.

Absolutely support charging anybody that bullies other people, and their parents should face consequences, too.

Um, no. The cost of housing is high for many reasons, among them the desirability of living in NJ (yes, that's a thing). Housing supply isn't the issue - the supply of affordable housing is the issue. Ruining an open space and building yet another glob job of high-priced housing isn't going to do a damned thing for the prices of housing in the state.

boooooo no fun allowed

Democrats have not more widely adopted her approach - direct comms to voters w social media, bypassing interviews and press conferences to go directly to people, not waiting for Republicans to do something before going after them as a party and as individuals, calling out BS and doing it loudly and forcefully - she's well known around the world despite being just a little old house member from Brooklyn. The fact that the Democrats have not gone to her and her team to figure out how to modernize their overall pitch to America's upcoming gen is a failure of the party writ large. It's a strategic failure, an aesthetic failure, and as a result, we have lost ground despite having millions more voters on our side than the fascists do. She's not the only one that does it well, but she's perhaps the most well-known.

Dems are too old, too slow, and too quiet. Too willing to make nice. Too willing to give away the store to avoid conflict. Too willing to compromise without extracting concessions.

GOP is strong and wrong.

Democrats are weak and right.

They have not been able to flip the script on their presentation, and part of this is because AOC and those like her are viewed by party leadership as too young and impulsive, instead of what is needed to adapt to the Internet Age.

Sorry, the slow/doddering/quiet/thinks-its-the-80s Democratic leadership being too unresponsive and slow to join in the fray is a personal pet peeve of mine.

Maybe Democrats should take notes, streamline their operations, and start doing media and comms instead of constant policy pushing - just put the policies on the website and spend the rest of the time sabotaging and destroying the GOP candidate

Gerrymandering handed you an upgrade!

How nice of them to make that hard decision so I don't have to!
Now I can blame the government for me not making as much money as I want to instead of my employer, put Gawd and Jeebus first in life, and make sure everyone else is exactly like me or else I'll overthrow the US government!

Thanks GOP!

Trump is what you get when you stop using your brain and start thinking with your ass, and then vote that way.

BuT tHe GaS PrIcEs!!1

Spoiler: there will be no third party

Got bad news - they're worse. And they aren't going away.

Should be, but his party does not want him to be irrelevant.

Nor is he letting himself be irrelevant.

You might want to check with the GOP as to why THEY want him to remain relevant.

Because the majority of US voters have indicated in two straight elections that we'd like for him to be irrelevant.

But the Republicans keep trying to shove him into our lives.

Ask the Republicans why they are doing that instead of moving on and making him irrelevant.

He is their frontrunner in 2024. If he isn't, he will be their kingmaker/spoiler.

It's their problem, and they're trying to make it all of our problem, too.

There are no moderate Republicans.

It's probably good.

Not sure what the big deal about pumpkin spice is. Just a seasonal thing, like eggnog. So much trendy. So little time.

My NJ response to you, OP, is to brace yourself while I and other New Jersians create even more maps to annoy you, because F you that's why ;-)

And a happy good day to you, sir/ma'am!
