Yeah but if you read the article , policy isn ' t the point . Controlling the narrative is . The article says the Democrats are doomed if they spend all of 2020 saying , Trump sucks because it ' s still all about Trump . The better strategy is , Here ' s what we ' ll do to fix the country ' s problems or really , just do anything and everything to get the media to report on anything other than Trump . If you spend all your time talking about Trump , then that ' s all the media will talk about , too , and nobody will care what anybody else has to offer . <| sep |> Even though it isn ' t written in the rules specifically , the Death Note shows the natural livespan of a person . What ' s meant by that is kinda complicated So , the natural lifespan of a person , does NOT mean the biological lifespan ! It just means , when a person is gonna die . Just like Jealous knew that Misa was supposed to die on the day he saved her . It doesn ' t matter how you die . BUT ! The Death Note messes it up . With it , you are actually able to alter the future kinda like in Mirai Nikki . For example Let ' s say person A has 30 more years to live . Then that persons remaining time would show as 30 years . But if anyone , shinigami or human , decides to kill that person with a Death Note , the lifetime changes , and the person dies before his 30 years are over . Also , the Death Note can change the remaining time a person has , without having that persons name written in it directly . For example , let ' s say Person A is going to die in 30 years , but in 20 years from now he ' ll cause a car accident which then causes the death of Person B . If a Death Note owner now kills Person A , the lifespan of Person B increases , even though the name of Person B was never written into the Death Note . A persons lifespan could also be decreased in the same way .
