Reread my last post, and this time try thinking about the message it conveys: until the Democratic party starts standing for something more than not being the Republicans, they will continue to LOSE. If you’re okay with that, get back to brunch. If not...

Are you happy with almost losing to the garbage fire that is Trump, not taking back the Senate, and losing ground in the House? Is that it? How do you not understand that Biden’s coattails were worse than worthless. Biden’s campaign stood for NOTHING, and the voters responded in kind.

You really should have told this to the DNC before they put the extra from The Walking Dead up against Trump. They’re the ones who wouldn’t be affected by another Trump term, so they can afford to lose. I’m voting my conscience; they don’t have one. That’s the difference.

Well, chuckles, tell me: how many times do we have to vote for the “lesser evil” before things get better? How does that particular strategy improve peoples’ lives? Oh, it doesn’t? Fan-fucking-tastic. :)

That’s adorable.

The world will burn just as brightly under Biden. Just as brightly.

I did. I voted Green. If you’d had principles, you would have too.

How did not having principles work for you?

Being a data nerd, I created and printed a spreadsheet that contains all the exercises I do, two sets per exercise, and room for about 6 workouts across the sheet. After every couple of sets, I record how many reps I did and at what weight (if applicable), like “20@35", circling any new highs. At the end, I count how…

I highly recommend a kevlar glove. They’re available online or at any restaurant supply store. They’re cut-resistant and great to use with mandoline slicers and knives. It’s saved my hand more than once and easily paid for itself.

Yeah, but Trump getting re-elected couldn’t happen without a lot of help from the DNC. Propping up Joe Biden even as his mental and physical health fades should be a crime, and using all their political and media contacts just to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning the Democratic nomination should earn them their own…

If we can take kids from middle school through Bachelors- or even Masters-level classes in four years of high school, then by all means. I suspect we should probably plan to make public college more accessible for everyone, though.

The “free college” (meaning taxpayer-funded college) plan is for PUBLIC colleges. You don’t get to start your own college at the drop of a hat. And since when are public colleges diploma mills? You still have to EARN that degree. Finally, the idea that educated Americans should be a rarity in order to keep their value…

Elizabeth Warren was the latest flavor-of-the-month. Beto had his month, Harris had hers, Warren got hers, and so on. For each one, you could see the flurry of media attention at the expense of all the other candidates (with polling to match), followed by a drop-off as the next one queued up. The same pattern emerged…

Just a reminder that there are literally videos of Bernie Sanders saying that ‘women can be elected president’. He tried to get Elizabeth Warren to run in 2015. There’s even video of him talking to a class of schoolkids, answering a girl’s question about if there are women mayors (Sanders was mayor at the time). He…

It’s a two-party system. If Bernie Sanders had instead mounted a serious third-party campaign, you’d complain about his “splitting the vote”. Until we get something like ranked-choice voting, neither Democrats nor Republicans can complain about supposed ‘outsiders’ usurping their precious political parties.

If you look at Bernie Sanders’ platform and its focus on helping the American people at the expense of a corrupt 1%, and understand that the majority of his peers are bought-and-sold by that same 1% to prevent anything close to his platform from ever coming to pass, the blame for his apparent lack of accomplishment…

I was really disappointed by Harsh Realm, which had such a great premise. “Go into this VR world and stop this bad guy who’s taken over and we’ll pull you out!”

It does seem like there should be a couple of Lexus with bows on top sitting in the driveway, doesn’t it?

So they screw you into the ground slightly less tightly for a while? This is why we need to cancel student debt (which will boost the economy far more than any tax break to the already-wealthy), and start providing healthcare (not just ‘access’ to it) like so many other countries around the world already do. This…
