At the end of the day there’s so little difference between Dems and pubs in the Merican 2 party system.

But, go figure how many Mericans think the problem is the other side
that’s not quite what i said

there are definitely differences, but elected officials of both parties will fuck over their constituents. there is a certain quality of character that seems to be required in order to run for (and win) elected office

it’s why i’m of the opinion that the best person/people for the job/s likely want nothing to do with it

So true. The ability to play the political game is basically at odds with the ability to do what's best for people.

Frankly that was my biggest reason for supporting Biden. I trusted him to put people, ones who had spent their careers taking less money than they could make in the private sector so that they could try to do good in the public sector, in cabinet/advisory positions, and that he had a weak enough ego that he would listen to them. President-by-committee essentially.

The opposite of TFG, who put cronies from the private sector and politicians in those positions, referring to public servants as the enemy (The scary Deep State!).

My 3rd grade daughter's homework yesterday was to read two pages of science stufff, answer questions on it, do some math problems and then do two pages of not only writing, but cursive writing.

So quit complaining, they still teach that stuff.
perfect. leave the rest to mom and dad.
Just more brainwashing from the GOP about how education and teachers are the enemy. Makes it easier to look down on educated opinions and educated stats and further divides the nation. You're a living, mouth breathing example of the brainwashing that is happening in today's GOP.

Teachers aren't trying to indoctrinate our kids. They mostly want them to sit down, shut up, be somewhat respectful and pay attention long enough to learn some basic principles so they can do well enough on the testing on state exams.

I love it when the good folks disobey in a civil manner. I hope the truckers clog up the entire North America.

so you can have more illegitimate reasons to blame Biden

The only thing Q likes more than dividing along class lines, is dividing along race lines.

And this “race” of Canadians sounds like the most gravy-smothered bunch of hosers yet!

Q’s just glad Canadians blocking traffic is acceptable civil disobedience.

Cuz it’s obviously sooo much different than when BLM did it 2 summers ago.
