It should, since you think internment camps and global climate collapse are somebody else's problem. But an idiot the size of Texas like Trump will make short work of prosperoty and peace. You might notice that we are in the greatest economy of our lifetime and not at war for the first time since Carter.
Greatest economy? What planet are you living on? This economy is the worst shit show since Carter.

The only way that happens is if the election is stolen again. Then there will be blood running in the streets.

I fall in-between the two of you in regards to my feelings about "the economy". So which of us 3 is right? We can't all be. Unless we are only thinking about how it affects us as individuals?

Let's say Joe drops out and Kamala is elevated. I say to those who get excited about the prospect/s, careful what you wish/ed for.
Color me orange, tan, yellow, brown, and black, and call me an idiot Giraffe but I'm convinced Joe probably has a better chance of beating Trump than Kamala does. One advantage of Kamala over Joe is Kamala could then have a more attractive VP candidate than we currently have.

Kamala couldn’t even pass the bar exam her first try. At least Joe has a valid reason why he can’t complete a cogent sentence. Giggles is just dumb.

She of course is not 'dumb'.
And she of course completes a far more amount of cogent sentences than Trump.
You hate her because she is a woman Democrat. We get it.

I just think this doesn't give nearly enough weight to the fact that, if 10,000 people in any swing state act on these well-meaning impulses, then not only will the "message" or whatever not be heard, but things will slide appreciably - and perhaps catastrophically and for a very long time - backwards.
Biden won CO by almost half a million votes last election. In a lot of ways we’re pretty much Cali lite by now. While I dunno if he can rely on that kinda margin again, if Trump even comes close to winning this state, dems is in for a lot more trouble yet.

Even if we agree that where we are at is not good, it is - I would HOPE we agree - significantly better than in places like Russia.


While on one hand I can def agree, on the other I’m still tempted to say something sassy like…at least Russia has universal healthcare?

But make no mistake, that is the sort of place the right wants to take us.
I keep thinking more like. that is the sort of place the oligarchy wants to take us. It’s not partisan, it’s systemic. Both parties are in Evil Rich People’s pockets, and Evil Rich People wanna see power and control and resources concentrated around their interests; the interests of capital.

For real, the U.S. gummint, and both major parties, has been little more than like 3 corporations in a trench coat for a while now.

There is no clearer tell on that than in the scope of the immunity opinion - that opinion was drafted by people who very obviously do not intend on there EVER being a liberal President and a liberal Supreme Court. And these are not foolish people who simply overlook the possibility that their side might, in the ordinary course, simply lose some day.
Either that, or - and largely to my last point - the opinion was drafted by people who knew liberals would be in power again, but don’t care, cuz they also know liberals aren’t worth much more than performative gestures at this point. Liberals still serve capital far more than people. And even if liberals get some good-faith wind in their sails and actually try something, they’re still too incompetent to actually get much done. (I mean why isn’t Biden running wild with this executive immunity theory?)

If you really think liberals are gonna be responsible for sweeping progressive reforms all of a sudden, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Or, should the expression be, I wouldn’t stop flapping your gills?

"Lulz. See my tag line for Exhibit A."

How about Exhibit B:

The only thing that's disappointing to me, about the Muller report...The Muller report, I wish covered, the oranges, how it started, the beginnings of the investigation.

And then I see the disinfectant - where it knocks it out in a minute - and is there a way we can do something like that - like injection inside or almost a cleaner.

I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter perhaps I'd be dating her.

In the failing New York Times by a anamous anonmous gutless coward.

The kidney has a very special place in the heart, it's an incredible things.

I'm very highly educated, I know words, I have the best words.

Just think of it - we would be in World War Two, very quickly.

They say a wall is medieval - a wheel is, older than a wall.

In June of 1775 the Continental Congress created a unified army. Our army manned the....it ran the ramparts...it took over the airports.

You know what uranium is right, like nuclear weapons, and other things...like lots of things are done with uranium, including some bad things.

These two things can be true at the same time: (1) one "side" of something can have unclean hands, and (2) the other "side" of the thing can be conclusively, of the two, THE bad actor.

The general tone of your arguments here is the response people are going for when they "flood the zone with shit."

I'm thinking Harris + Whitmer.

They would not only generate a ton of excitement in the Demo base, they'd likely beat the hell out of the bro ticket of Trump and Peter Thiel's lap dog, plus Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan, and Dana White. (All of whom are speaking tonight in order to emphasize bone spurs made me not do it Trump's repulsive "Fight" meme, which will not appeal to not already committed voters.)

This one still cracks me up. Full Exhibit.
"In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, commander in chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.

"Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket’s red glare it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their star-spangled banner waved defiant."
