What we learned in 2024: A year in perspective

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Along the way, we learned that political violence is a thing of America's present, not only its past.
48% : The U.S. Justice Department has formally arrested and accused the mayor himself of trading campaign donations and favors from Turkish officials for official government actions -- marking the 110th mayor the first one to be indicted while in office.
17% : After one agonizing evening on the debate stage in June, it was clear that a scattered, sluggish, unfocused Joe Biden had no chance of defeating Donald Trump -- who, though roughly the same age, maintains much of the ability to be dishonestly and deviously persuasive.
