No shit.

It’s amazing you rich people can just do cocaine in public now and no one gives a shit.

FTFY

Great! We can relish the fact that he didn’t win over the majority of Americans as our country descends into a fascist hellhole run by billionaires, war hawks and rapists.

This hits me deep. I will often walk into a bathroom and walk right out if I see too many people. I’ll either find a quieter bathroom or just hold it because it’s physically impossible for me to pee if I can sense anybody within close proximity. Sadly, that applies to stalls too.

My brain still reads “Sean” as seen even though my mouth knows to pronounce it shawn.

Already have :)

People hate being reminded that the conveniences they enjoy are unhealthy/unethical/etc. All it takes is somebody else choosing differently to trigger defensiveness and denialism. Rather than making changes to their own life they choose to ridicule those who are making better decisions.

Stardew Valley.

Assuming this isn’t satire… It really depends on where you’re going. Assuming you’ll be in a big city, I’d say it’s pretty comparable to London. Don’t go walking along vacant streets at night, or during the day if the area gives you bad vibes. Avoid confrontation with anyone looking to start some shit. In big crowds I like to keep my wallet and phone in a front or otherwise harder-to-access pocket.

All that being said, most tourist areas are quite safe.

Is that not in tandem with Trump voters’ shift to Russia? “I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat” and Trump voters talking about plans to immigrate to Russia if Trump lost are things I seem to remember in recent years.

My original point was not to claim that Republican politicians necessarily care about what their base wants, but they do seem to understand that they have to at least campaign heavily on populist issues to get elected. And that disloyalty to Trump is met with rabid outrage from their base.

Whether you like it or not, you can’t say members of the Republican party are not beholden to their voters. Can’t say as much for the Democrats, which is why they keep losing.

It’s only been a week since he was elected. Dude’s not even in office yet and there’s already shock and scandal coming from his own party. This is going to be a very long four years…

Will be writing my reps later today and I sent a few bucks to Bernie since I figure what better way to tell a politician they’re barking up the right tree?

I know online petitions are generally cringe but if there was one backing up Bernie’s stance here and telling the Dems to get their heads out of their own asses, I’d sign it in a heartbeat. If other people feel similarly, maybe we should get the ball rolling? Best case Dems get the message, worst case we waste our time and nothing changes, right?

Won’t happen but even if it did, JD will be just as bad.

Biden would not have won if we weren’t also in the middle of the greatest global pandemic in a century that the incumbent Trump administration was handling terribly.

I want your help in my life…

A lot more wholesome than I expected.

So who’s going to change? The disillusioned voters? Or the politicians running for office? Or are we just going to keep on yelling at people who aren’t listening?

Twist: They’re alive. And they’re angry. Choose your weapon.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that the people who believe politics no longer serves them aren’t motivated to participate in the political system.

Despite all the Biden administrations achievements, they still haven’t addressed what the left has been asking for over the last decade.

Stop supporting the war in Gaza? Nah.

Single-payer healthcare system? Nuh uh.

Housing crisis relief? If you’re good… maybe.

Courts and criminal justice reform? Lol.

Billionaire tax? Nope.

Livable minimum wage? Psh.

Legalize marijuana? Hah! No.
