in hindsight, maybe making a dumbass shitposter the most powerful person in the world was a bad idea


saw something yesterday i think about how he's been skipping most/all of the meetings on this stuff and is just freestyling these pressers, and boy does it show

new pole, m4a supported by:

88% of Democrats
68% of Independents
46% of Republicans
69% of all voters


wow so weird that the dems who supposedly really, really, really want to win this election badly won't adopt such a popular policy goal that would save lives AND money

prob has nothing to do with them getting 1/3 of their $$$ from private health ghouls huh


can't risk it in case they crush the election and have to do it, amazing


also leaving the door wide open to get outflanked on any kind of social relief, which will def happen

like a week before the election fredo will just promise another $1000 check or something and coast to a 70/30 win

But you have to reward this behavior and continue to incentivize it by voting for the senile decrepit sex pest segregationist, because, well, we can't specifically point to anything that would be better for any marginalized group of people that doesn't completely fall apart after the slightest bit of scrutiny, but just do it, OK? Otherwise you are a bad person.

You are a bad person, even though your vote mathematically has 0 effect even if you live in the swingiest of swing states. You're a bad person, but the people who sacrifice nothing, who risk nothing, who think their vote is the end of their civic duty, we aren't going to call them out. You're a bad person even though we are literally telling you that, yes, we know you have survived multiple sexual assaults, and we know it just gets worse every 4 years when you really think we've already hit rock bottom on who we are going to trot out there, in an election that we tell you is the only way to prevent certain and total fascism, and we know you know that we make our money no matter who wins, but please, just relive your sexual assaults at the ballot box and pull the lever for a guy you'd throw a cinder block to if he was drowning.

Please continue to vote for the party who doesn't just refuse to fund progressive primary winners against vulnerable incumbent GOP nazis like Steve King, but actively gets people like, oh I don't know, THE PIECE OF **** WE ARE TRYING TO NOMINATE to give a speech endorsing the GOP incumbents all across the land because the Democrat challenger was an actual progressive who beat our slimebag lobbyist we go golfing with.

I really wish and pray to god that some of you could get some goddamn introspection, and put aside your smug impression of yourself as some kind of ruthless technocrat, and start to question why it is that you can't convince working class people to just "be a grownup and pick the lesser of two evils." Seriously, I am completely disgusted by a couple people in this thread, and I wish you would take people's anger as a reason to question your beliefs and values, instead of just dismissing as irrational. Even if it's just to adjust your piss-poor strategy and bullshit conventional wisdom about elections, and you don't even decide to try giving any empathy to the people you claim you want to help.

Every day, I feel like I’m a moral failure for not doing more, for not risking or sacrificing more.

Some would say I do a lot, but I would obviously disagree.

I guess this makes it very obvious where some of my anger and resentment is coming from in some of my posts on this website

Meh not to be that guy but last year in the same timeframe 13 people had done the same thing. And no one actually went to the hospital. It's hardly noteworthy and really poor journalism.

I agree. So why is it a thing?

Trump is literally on the hook for thousands of lives but the media focuses on some garbage story like this instead.

This is the **** Victor et al are completely right about

So just to be clear: You don't see a problem with the President telling people to drink bleach? That's okay with you?

No one is saying O.K. It's just bullshit that we put exponentially more focus on what the president says versus what he does (or doesn't do). There is a finite amount of time, space, and energy to consume.

Can we take some of that very finite energy and put it inside the body somehow? Would that maybe stop the virus?

amash running for president in the libertarian party

sure he won't get many votes overall (and some definitely will vote him but wouldn't the other two anyway) but I don't know who'd be a Trump->Amash voter who wouldn't have voted Biden and michigan is a lot more interesting now

Really makes no sense for Amash to do this if he's gonna give up his House seat in order to start a Presidential bid that he knows will be meaningless in the end.

Too early to say whether he will take more votes from Trump or Biden.

He’s going to lose his house seat anyway. Just building his resume and profile for a think tank or TV job.
