I’m so traumatized by having to choose between pets and anti depressants. I chose pets, obviously, because you know there won’t be a steady and large enough supply of medication to make the apocalypse bearable. I’ll just do ritalin and hug my dog.

No one understands how this works, creators, voters, no one. Just click something then come back tomorrow.

Yeah, same. I think the semis in the preapocalyptic could be interesting. I suspect it’ll be birth control or pets for Nature, and although I would unthinkingly vote pets, I’m kind of selfishly hoping BC wins so that I don’t have to choose between my dog or my bathroom.

It’s not just shitting outside. It’s showers and baths and sinks and every form of running water. I mean, maybe I’m assuming that indoor plumbing includes potable water, but goddamn, I’ll take periods over cholera.

I...don’t think they really think very carefully about the seeding in these.

I’m with you. I don’t care at all about Postmates but I voted for it just to spite Wellness.

Same. The wellness industry is exploitative and insidious, and I hate it.

I think indoor plumbing might be the dark horse to bet on. I’d take it over birth control or dramatic sex, tbh.

also, ‘having’ versus ‘getting’ depends on the person

Exactly!

Come on, how can you seed indoor plumbing under Alexa?

Wait people are choosing bees over an ocean with fish in it? You guys know bees aren’t the only pollinators, right?

I mean, I voted for having to kill someone. If you can see radioactive glow, you’re probably gonna die a painful, protracted death. I’ll take having to kill someone over my body falling apart in the most painful way over the course of a few days.

Alexa. Where is the closest place I can take a shit?

Me, me, me ‘tis me, I was. I have lived in the times before online shopping, and though it was sometimes annyoing, it was mostly fine. NO IRL BROWSING however, is just not a future I want to consider.

The math shows the Progressive Caucus is now the single largest subgroup within the Democratic Congressional Congress. If the D’s gain the majority with a mix or centrist and progressive reps with ‘D’ next to their name, those Progressives have the seniority and clout to have committee chairs, and the ability to pass…

In deep red territory, the push has to be toward the center first.

Conservative Democrats getting elected in conservative districts where previously there were ultra-conservative (or just radical) Republicans is still a win. Voting with you sometimes is better than voting with you never.

Yes, this. When the Senate was up for grabs, I even donated to an anti-choice Dem in Louisiana. Normally that issue is a non-starter for me, but I have the luxury of living in California where I can push my reps toward more progressive policies. In deep red territory, the push has to be toward the center first. I’d…

YES. I was just talking to my husband about this earlier. Ideological purity does not work on the left, and repeatedly insisting that our party can’t incorporate people who have different positions on some issues just means we won’t win on any issues. It’s time for pragmatism in the face of sheer evil and autocracy. I…
