No.

It’s over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he’ll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.

I wouldn’t be surprised.

I’m sure that’s true too, but that’s not the reason she lost, and Democrats will continue to stack losses if that’s the narrative that they go with.

Democrats haven’t been ceding male voters to Republicans for 16 years because they hate women. It’s because, in the liberal and activist communities, it’s become customary and accepted to treat men like shit.

Exactly. Harris was tasked with defending and indefensible record. It’s that simple.

It’s simple, and history has borne this out many many times.

In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics if you’re the candidate of change. There’s a reason why Harris spent two months repeating memes instead of defending Biden’s policies, because it’s impossible to defend the fact that you had four years to rule and there are more people working 2-3 jobs just to survive.

They knew they needed to appeal to workers. Instead, they spent most of the campaign repeating this meaningless platitude about joy to people who are being worked to death.

bundle up everywhere else.

It should be noted that if you don’t need to heat the room you’re in, you can also get an electric blanket for $30 or less, and those babies work infinitely better at keeping you warm than a space heater.

Same.

I will road trip or take a train instead of flying. I’d rather be on the road twelve hours than in a plane for one.

Fair point. I’ll delete my comment.

Nailed it.

Both parties are heavily funded by the 0.01%, and that’s neither a lie nor a coincidence.

EDIT Not sure why you’re all downvoting. The government did literally lie to all of us about Iraqi WMD’s, so I’m not sure why you’d think aren’t lying about deploying troops to Israel.

I mean, we’re being told that’s why it is. We were also once told we had to fight Iraqis because they had nukes.

I don’t think any of us really knows what’s happening there.

Thanks for the tip.

I can’t wait to get my new laptop in November. I’m going to make my old one a Linux-only machine for all non-gaming purposes, and 100% going back to Mint.

I had a banana fall in derby once and fell right on my head. My mouth guard and S-1 Lifer helmet prevented me from getting a concussion. If you’re doing anything on wheels without a seatbelt, you gotta wear your helmet.

Derby skater here:

Hell yes wear your helmet.

It’s crap.

You can use udm14.org though.

I’m so sorry to hear it.

One of the doormen in my building is kind of in a similar situation. He got his doctorate this year, beautiful flute player. Can’t find a job in his field.

Agreed.

TBH, I think that’s why shows have this now. Fear of legal liability.

The obscenely wealthy donate to both parties. Both parties protect the interests of the wealthy.

Hell, there have been two Democratic administrations that had total congressional control over the last sixteen years. The minimum wage is still seven bucks an hour.
