The real consequence of submissive maga congressional leadership is surprisingly just doing nothing while executive bench becomes a king

RIP.. The wayners were such an integral part of the dd experience. Ruin has come to our family

I wouldn't be shocked to see China benefitting enormously from American brain drain

Palisades, Eaton, castaic....#

I'm American and the main reason I don't aim the same criticism towards other countries is that I'm American and don't know enough about them. Maybe some people are agitating for malign purposes, but how much does that matter to a responsible netizen? No one knows who anyone is - maybe idiot takes are made by idiots or bad actors, it doesn't change much. Lastly, one quote stuck with me after the last election season : " the reactionary is always right about what is wrong but almost always wrong about what would be right"

as others have said, "yes" most people have the misfit drawer. We always called it the "horrible drawer_ because ladles and can openers and things would often catch and make it hard to open. I say embrace it, everyone deserves love even if not everyone fits in perfectly

Impressive dedication to avoiding standard fun!

So sell it? Plenty of musk fanboys will buy and selling used will reduce his income. Unless there are some non-transferable nonsenses that discourage private transfer?

Doesn't cost him anything so why not. Plus gives message to his mob that they have free rein

Thanks, me too! But it's been awhile since I've had a Representative in the House that I was happy with. House districts are too big for their stated purpose OR5 goes from Portland suburbs to Bend

Dems and Reps are both corporatists (though you could argue Reps are moving towards some neo-feudalism) neither is willing to severely curtail the big money interests. I think you're right that people are genuinely hurting and anxious. People are also probably sexist and racist. Harris had a hell of a lot of disadvantages to overcome in the president's race and she didn't.

Mostly though, reality doesn't matter anymore for probably a supermajority because people are so checked out. Just vibes - and the vibes are bad

Hey, that's my district. Nice to make the news!

It can be read as someone was very vehemently "protesting too much" in marking "no". I'd just do a casual scribble, since I'm only a little bit racist

100% I think a lot of people don't realize that prisons are modern slavery. Need more slave labor? Send protesters to the gulag.

"Change" and he's further back in their memories. People are genuinely struggling - both in where they are and where they're headed; he promises he can change that direction. He won't, but people are desperate and Kamala ran as a status quo candidate

It's more than just one thing, of course. Probably some racism and sexism too

72 so far, Harris with 67. Pretty low turnout given the stakes

Man, if he'd form a populist left party and stop caucusing with the Dems, he might get a lot of enthusiastic support and candidates running locally soon

I get this, but probably the best way to feel safer is to forge local connections. Check on your neighbors, they'll check on you

I was just talking with a friend about this. How do you build up a left-wing populist party? Establishment Dems seem like they'd rather lose than bring in progressives. So it'd have to be very grassroots, right? Tea party definitely had some help from the top at the time

Person on right is glad because they saw the death that was avoided. Person on left is sad because they see what is lost. America voted which path, and I'll be generous and say that neither passenger could see the other side's track
