If they’re never going to vote Democrat then you want to eliminate reasons for them to go vote for Republicans. A Democrat running on eliminating the embargo would energize more of them to vote Republican rather than sit it out.

Don’t know why the companies find it more profitable to buy houses people aren’t looking to actually move into, at least at the rent they are willing to accept. If I fully understood why, it might just piss me off more. Like maybe the houses work better as a loan basis than other assets, so even empty and unused they are valuable as some sort of financial trick.

That’s one thing, but housing has been a low-risk investment for a long, long time. If they bought the house OP posted in 2020 and sold it in 2024 they would have almost doubled their money even without renting it out.

A friend of mine from high school ran unopposed for state rep. Feels pretty good having someone I know well, and whose kids go to the same school as mine, so terrify the Republicans that they didn’t bother running anyone.

I accidentally spilled about a tablespoon of peppercorns on the floor and could hear my ancestors screaming in horror as I swept them up and threw them away.

Into deep space.

(Because he’s not worth the dV to launch into the sun.)

I live at the end of a cul de sac with a bunch of killjoys who never give out candy, so kids wouldn’t visit my house.

So I take my bucket of candy and go walking around and deliver it to the kids. Plus this means everybody sees my costume.

Boomers think it’s magic. People who know how computers work know not to trust them.

Finally something hopeful.

This header is what I’ve been feeling for a while:

We Aren’t Strong Enough Yet

There aren’t enough weirdo leftists to make a real difference. I don’t think there ever will be in America.

Which is why I disagree with this:

There are no shortcuts, only the steady, strategic grind of organizing that brings policy shifts within reach. It’s unglamorous, but it’s the only way forward if we want to win the changes we’ve been fighting for.

Fighting a war of attrition as the smaller force is a recipe for defeat. We need to figure out political guerrilla tactics to get things done if there’s never going to be enough of us. Bernie’s been a political guerrilla for years, and could have made more change if he had more help and leftists weren’t obsessing over some final victory.

It’s clear you didn’t read the article because it starts off with admitting the left has failed and you’d probably love that.

These are the same assholes who want to eliminate Title IX. It’s clear they don’t care about women’s sports, they just want to hurt people.

Nope, Pennsylvania.

Even that’s too much work. They’ll just get the Supreme Court to change the result. All for the price of a few motor coaches.

A dominatrix is also plausible

I was in a store and heard a radio ad for the Republican senate candidate that made it sound like the most important issue in the election. Not climate change. Not inflation. Not education or defense or the economy. No, the issue that should decide the election was whether “boys” would be playing in “girls” sports.

Oh, and because it was about trans women being in women’s sports it ended with “We don’t need those nuts in Congress,” a joke about pre-transition women’s genitals.

What assholes.

We know his wife didn’t leave them in the throes of passion, that’s for sure

Thanks for making me feel young again for not answering the six unknown phone calls I get every day.

I really need to move out of a swing state.

Europeans are confused by America’s constant election cycle.

I have never been prouder to be a not-normal guy.

There was a time that having topless women sitting in your lap would have killed a presidential campaign.

Maybe the author is 80 years old and thinks that’s still scandalous.
