  1. They’ll be safe for a while. Western Europe needs to ramp up their militaries if there’s to be any liberal democracies left.
  2. How much contact do you have with lower and middle income folks? I see a steady parade of Trump and Let’s Go Brandon shit, so I wasn’t totally surprised. My hope was that it was different outside Montgomery County, Texas. Now I know it’s not so different elsewhere. We are a loathsome people. We are on a course more towards Elysium than Star Trek. I think civilization and humanitarian progress peaked in the Obama years. .
  3. I knew this country was fucked the first day of my law practice. The client I was helping that day told me her fear in the upcoming (2010) mid-terms was that Dems were set to end Medicare and Social Security. That day I learned I could change the subject with the best of them, and that I had to stop talking politics so much.
  4. Was that the other choice on the ballot? No? Then what the fuck does that matter? As framed above, this choice was rapist vs. non-rapist. That you chose to re-frame the choice rather than accept what you've done means you're uncomfortable having promoted rape. You should be. That's a solid reaction. But by re-framing, you've failed at a chance for deep introspection. Only you can unfuck yourself, but you have to want to do it first.
  5. It isn't about the candidate, and you know it. We get it, you get off on being called a moron. Well, I don't think you're a moron. I think other things that you don't get the pleasure of seeing typed.
  6. He has lieutenants that actually want to fuck shit up. That's the concern. If it was truly just him and his whims, we'd be fine. He knows less shit about fuck than we do.
  7. Seems like he understands now is a good chance to build a following. Many will stick around even when he's wrong.
  8. You talking about their heads? 4 years to the first purge sounds about right.
  9. Decades of Pubs promising a free lunch by running up deficits that Dems have to control. They need to stop pretending that fiscal prudence ever wins. Promise more free shit than the other guy.
  10. Yep. Needed to run further right. Somewhere between Mussolini and Franco.
  11. It's only early voting reported so far, right? Dem margins should widen as ED comes in. Right now several Dem judges would lose. I'm not sure that holds.
  12. Props need 60%. Last I saw it was at 57%.
  13. In any post saying Dems have gone "far left" you must state at least 3 examples, or we will dismiss your opinion as regarded.
  14. Isn't KY something like R+20-25? If that happens I think PR and DC get statehood and we might get a 15-person SCOTUS, assuming Dems have grown a set.
  15. I think by definition, when we're dreaming we are not living in the real world. Let the dreamers dream. Hopefully they do not awaken to a nightmare.
  16. Have the demographics there changed, or is this just pure hopeium? Enough good news elsewhere that NC might just be padding the win.
  17. Which Dem policy positions are far left?
  18. I spent two weeks practically begging a 25 year old college educated white male to vote. He insisted he couldn't choose between the two. Best I could get was him promising to vote down ballot. He's not a Rogan bro from what I can tell, some of the youth are just baffling. Considering how fucked our culture has become, it's not that baffling. Among many other terrible turns we have taken, the normalization of Trumps antics, the tolerance of the emergence of head-shaking groups like incels and the prevalence of "making libs cry" as a theory of governance has to be quite confusing for young people.
  19. If the Senate is going to be 51+ Dem on Jan. 6, sure. There won't be a VP if she's POTUS, so a 50/50 split or worse only invites more fuckery.
  20. But did folks leave early? People are saying that’s the real sign of a beautiful rally, a really tremendous rally.
  21. "Party registration is modeled by TargetSmart from multiple commercial sources."
  22. Yolanda is going to be in the news a bunch next March, when she's up for parole the first time.
  23. Musk is a moron born with money. Here’s an item you need:
  24. If I was the richest person in the world I would never go to a political rally. What’s the point of Scrooge McDuck money if you’re just gonna post on SM all day and go be bored surrounded by insane levels of idiocy and mediocrity? Buy a sports franchise like a normal rich asshole.
