  1. I am really hoping that surviving Republicans and the Dotard cult are at each other's throats and that helps us in the Georgia specials.
  2. Shame on all of you. This is one of the all time under-repped posts in the history of Surly.
  3. For 2022, Democrats should make a minimum wage increase our primary issue. Make it a national issue by promising that we will pass an increase if we win the Senate which is likely to be Mitched the fuck up for the next 2 years. More importantly, get it on the ballot wherever we can and have our candidates tie themselves to those ballot initiatives as much as possible. Also, weed. People like weed. Put it on the ballot.
  4. Here's the song itself, released in '92 and said to be in response to the beating of Rodney King. Perhaps you'd favor us with your own reaction video.
  5. Was going to post this myself. That's Austin police in uniform, on duty posing with, among others, Proud Boys on the far right of the photo. The blurred parts of the photo like you see on the yellow sleeved fascist shitbird furthest right is the white power, ok hand sign.
  6. If I'm ever near Charlie Kirk, I'm definitely going to whisper, "Lil' Bits" at him. Hopefully it's been done to death already.
  7. I often remind myself that how people are betting on something is not always a good way to predict what is going to happen. A hell of a lot of people bet that Conor McGregor would beat Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match.
  8. https://www.vulture.com/2013/09/how-far-was-rockys-famous-run-in-rocky-ii.html#:~:text=By analyzing the landmarks along,That is so many miles. An analysis of all the landmarks in this montage determined that Rocky ran at least 30 miles.
  9. No, no. We should work with our Republican friends across the aisle. I'd like to see more things like Feinstein hugging Lindsey as he shoves a knife in our eye.
  10. Minimum wage, for one thing. Florida passed a ballot initiative for $15 an hour in a state election that was otherwise horrendous for Democrats. Nebraska voted for a ballot measure to increase in 2014 in a red state in a red wave election. Democrats need to make that a big issue in future elections. And weed. People like weed. Rural internet or some shit.
  11. How do we win more Senate seats? I won't list them all, but I count 22 states where I think it's unlikely we win statewide with anything other than a Manchin type. That's 44 seats and I'm not counting states like Texas and Florida that I think could swing in the near future but have 2 Republicans now. I'd truly like to hear a strategy that doesn't require the Dem to film all their commercials holding a shotgun.
  12. Yep. 3 things we'll never be rid of in this country in our lifetimes: - Grossly disproportionate representation in the Senate. California has 70 times the population of Wyoming and the same number of US Senators. - The Electoral College. If Dotard pulls this out, it's 3 of the last 6 elections that Republicans will win without winning the popular vote. 5 SC Justices have been appointed by Presidents that lost the popular vote. - The right wing cult ain't going away. People make money on talk radio, Fox News, and internet bullshit. It's not your great-grandfather's state media that had to be propped up by the government. The cult can't get enough of it and they gladly pay for it.
  13. Joe Biden is never going to tweet videos of his supporters yelling, "white power!" No videos of Joe Biden dancing with Jeffrey Epstein are ever going to surface. Joe doesn't owe 100s of millions to shady overseas interests. He'll never put on a gimp mask and lick Putin's shoes in front of the world. Joe Biden's tweets are going to be very boring and not at all embarrassing to the country.
  14. You should've started about 7 hours ago. Now you've only got about 3 good drinking hours left.
  15. Is there anything that looks bad for Biden out of these results other than Miami-Dade? Everything else looks like he's running ahead of Hilary.
  16. No big deal. Just Austin Police in uniform and on duty posing with Proud Boys who are flashing white power signs. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/apd-officers-criticized-on-social-media-for-posing-in-photo-that-appears-to-include-white-supremacists/
  17. Trump will fade pretty quickly after he loses. 3 years from now, you'll have 20 assholes on a debate stage all trying to convince Republican primary voters that they're the biggest asshole and the heir to the Trump cult. One of them will say something like, "I'm the one we need to nominate because I'm the one that can beat that bitch KamalalalaShatrellKwanChingChong or whatever her name is." Black or white smoke (I forget which) will go up and the cult will have a new leader. Donald isn't the deity of the cult. He's more like the pope, for now.
