  1. Democrats should run the touchdown play.
  2. A massive economic downturn right as the temperatures warm up. What could possibly go wrong.
  3. Several casinos Several
  4. Santa Barbara, Seaside/Santa Rosa.
  5. A lie? Oh I’m pretty sure he knows how a lie works.
  6. On the other hand maybe he is young. The 90s and the MMPR were 30 fucking years ago.
  7. Here’s the problem with that graphic. If the hard hat wearing guy was enterprising and at the cutoff for the TOP TEN PERCENT net worth wise in the USA his one cookie would represent about 1.9M dollars. Just a run of the mill ONE billionaire would have 526 cookies. Musk as of end of 2024 Forbes report would have 131,578 cookies.
  8. And? There have been lots of election post mortems that show that the people who pay attention to government and politics most were in support of Harris and the Ds....those people are still paying attention to government and politics and showing up while the masses eat their WWE soundbites behind their computer screen Before we get into why Democrats lost the 2024 election, let’s talk about how they lost it: Which voting blocs shifted the furthest right over the past four years? The most important thing is that we saw incredible polarization on political engagement itself. There’s a bunch of different ways to measure this: There’s how many elections you vote in, or how important politics is to your identity. There’s how closely you follow the news. But across all of these, there’s a consistent story: The most engaged people swung toward Democrats between 2020 and 2024, despite the fact that Democrats did worse overall. Meanwhile, people who are the least politically engaged swung enormously against Democrats. They’re a group that Biden either narrowly won or narrowly lost four years ago. But this time, they voted for Trump by double digits. And I think this is just analytically important. People have a lot of complaints about how the mainstream media covered things. But I think it’s important to note that the people who watch the news the most actually became more Democratic. And the problem was basically this large group of people who really don’t follow the news at all becoming more conservative. https://www.vox.com/politics/403364/tik-tok-young-voters-2024-election-democrats-david-shor
  9. Correct, if an election was discovered to be stolen after the stealer took office really the best course of action would be a Watergate style investigation that pushes Congress (I know I know) from there. It's hard to take this seriously (just like it was hard to take the last one seriously) when the stories only come from fringy places. Mainstream journalism may be very diminished from what it was in the 70s but if any of this stuff had real teeth there would be some young Woodward and Bernstein on it at some mainstream publication. Bezos doesn't own them all 😎
