Chin up, gents, you'll get to smear feces on the capitol walls next time

Ok, I agree, we do!

I'm curious... Can you sketch a realistic road map for me where we exist in 2023 with more than crumbs? I'm genuinely interested

The future is wide open but I'd say we're doing the best we can possibly hope for given the last 8 years.

I mean... Yes? I agree with you 100%

But who was ever going to achieve this? I voted for bernie in the primary in 2016 but he was never ever going to make it, and he knew it too. But because of him, progressive ideas remain in the public discourse, to the point where Biden incorporates many of those ideas in his campaign still

Biden inherited a republican led senate and now a republican led house. If he tried more, you'd all be crowing about how he's just screaming into the void and pointing out how much more he is failing to achieve. Let's take the wins as easy as they may be, pray to all the gods that ever existed we're not living with the alternative, and not let perfect be the enemy of good

Good point, forgot that. At least the states (the good ones) have taken on that mantle

I keep seeing this but I'm not sure what you all want ..

• biggest investment in climate infrastructure ever
• biggest investment in infrastructure since the new deal
• codified gay marriage into law
• attempted to forgive $10k in student loan (blocked by republican scotus, still attempting a workaround on interest at least)
• attempted ban on assault weapons (let's face it, this will never happen without an act of congress)
• negotiated drug prices for Medicare (10 drugs so far, a blueprint for more)

Dude is ticking a ton of boxes. Sure we're not living in a socialist utopia with universal basic income, etc but it's been 3 years

Edit: with a republican congress no less

I guess you're right... The only option is to vote for the 80 year old, 300 (215?) lb guy who can't even make it up a ramp

And before you come in with "I'm just saying there could be better options!" there's not, so suck it up and quit with the fear mongering (if you're actually an American)

... Absolutely no relation

What turns me off about SNW is that The Orville is a better return to form to "classic Trek" than actual Star Trek. The episodes revolving around Topa's gender and identity is some of the best scifi commentary on modern society out there right now.

I think it's good that CBS never gave MacFarlane his own ST show, lest he be beholden to all the history of the franchise (the same thing that is, in part, weighing down SNW). Who knew that khan was Kirk's father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate?!

Teach them Murican English, send 'em to the mines

My sister was bit by a moose

Hmm you raise a good point... If the AI was trained exclusively on trump's speech and allowed to run amok, then I imagine it would be equally incoherent

But if it's a someone else typing the words,and assuming they don't have swiss cheese sized holes in their brain, then it's likely the AI will make more sense. Or at least have reasonable sentence structure. And no hamberders

Was it coherent? That is the big tell it's AI

Yeah but Biden couldn't cancel my student loans so I'm voting for the other guy this time

/s in case it wasn't obvious

It's so... Disappointing that they're rallying behind this decrepit, puss filled slug.

Gotta keep em alive so they can vote for this to be reversed once the Republicans are able to

You should just not vote. All the cool bigots are doing it

This was fascinating, thank you !

I am so so sorry, but is anyone else getting tremendous butthole vibes from the Merchant Marine Spacecraft Duty Insignia? How did that get past the producers?

Ouch, big loss for the giant orange baboon.. Didn't his lawyers suggest 2026 as a date for this?

“If we run it’s going to be a bipartisan ticket, so not only will we have concluded that it really can win, but because it’s bipartisan we’re confident it’s going to take equally from both parties so the idea that we’re going to spoil it and re-elect President Trump just isn’t realistic,” Lieberman said.

Yeah, ok

Remember that time Trump had toilet paper stuck to his shoe and he walked all the way to his jet, in full view of the world, and even then, no one told him? I think about that sometimes and I just laugh and laugh...
