This feels like a completely different conversation to me just wanting fries deep fried in beef tallow again. And that you can’t find these kind of things easily out there anymore as everyone argues about being healthy.

And dandelion. That’s mostly from them being everywhere and easy to grow. And hard to do anything else with.

Humans would do anything for extra calories or nutrients once upon a time.

Oh sure. And I left but the group I worked with is national and as they brag the largest entry point for new candidates and they weren’t the state.

Florida just ends up an easy excuse to ignore that it’s millions of people experiencing situations closer to mine.

It’s not like Florida was a swing state or anything with a huge population and economy.

(⁠☞⁠ ⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠☞ Sure.

But maybe keep your “non-spreading” thistle to yourself if you can.

ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ

LOL that checks out.
But, It sounds like you don’t have a neighbors yard growing full of them spreading everywhere.

I understand all that but instead of starting with ways to start naturally and get your name out there it was directly to money. No, conversation on anything else. Just a dollar threshold for us to hit or get out of their hair.

This was with the “run for something” group while in Florida. But there was definitely people from other states and they were all equally disturbed at the immediate grilling for us to fund ourselves and to be in a major religion.

I do get that it seems ass backwards and incompatible with how a person would actually run for a local position and it’s why a lot of people have become disenfranchised by the whole system and party.

Yeah but I want the choice without having to cook for myself sometimes.

Can we all just collectively accept death is an inevitability and eat tasty food? This need for perfection in everything we touch is killing me.

You admit you have spare money to spend and use as donations to politics. Which is my point as most members of the Trans community does when they consider gender identity to be their biggest issue to deal with.

It’s not true for all trans people but the ones I hear from tend to have cash and I have known plenty of the LGBTQ community to be the most conservative because of their wealth. So are they willing to use themselves in their pursuit of moral victory?

It’s an identity. I literally said I don’t care and then you went and repeated your line about how you are more important. As if people are using you or spending you like currency for the election. It wasn’t about you.

Lots of people will die. Yeah start being part of the larger topic then and get your head out of your own fart box. Most of them won’t be upper class American trans people. And it certainly wasn’t about morals it’s about other people struggling that you demand agree with you in votes because you get better treatment under one party.

Maybe get with the people who care about not dying and show you do as well. As if saying, ask the DNC party to care about more than the trans community and specific shades of minority to get behind large populace movements for support is some kind of deep moral victory at your expense. Boo. Bad take.

They are unique but they are old thistles.

The petals at the base are super tough and the whole thing is prickly. I mean yeah it’s all perspectives but I’ll take a soft flower any day.

Or you are the wealthy but new hotness in oppressed to the DNC to hook into to prove they care about something while it only amounts to culture identiry. But it allows them to take in heavy donations to further enrich themselves by pretending to fix things.

It’s clear that the trans community is still far to small a percentage of the populace to focus on as the main backing and asking other people to care about you and members of your community above their own well-being will not work because people are as selfish as everyone else.

I’m sorry but I really don’t care what happens within 2% of the population as long as they aren’t being killed compared to workers who make up the most of us.

So you won’t see me as a leftist using Trans as any kind of grandstanding cause I really don’t care or think you matter other than a funding source for pretend caring wealthy.

Good. We all should. The party is dead and barely alive by the shambling corpses of pelosi and Biden assuming they will be able to control it forever.

I am so down for it as long we get to use the symbol at least once for real.

I tried to run for a small local position with the DNC using one of their arms that is for “funding and supporting small progressives” well that first bit is a lie. First question they asked me was how much money I had and if I had rich family to fund my campaign.

I told them not really but I would rather talk policy and maybe alternatives to spending money and they told me to pretend to be religious to find a good church to get donations from cause there are some rich churches.

I told them I was a Buddhist and happy for it, and they suggested I either find some other wealthy Buddhists cause they were sure I should be able to find some or maybe I should consider not running at all and just donating to this group or volunteering for free to them.

This will take acceptance and support from the people that run the party and all the wealthy party owners that view themselves better than working class because of their connections and wealth.

It’s kinda hard to count the votes afterwards since candidates are forced to drop out before the primaries actually finish. Heck we usually don’t even make it past 6 states primaries out of 50 before a winner is announced.

Man they are just the ugliest flowers. But that is cool.
Didn’t realize they grew so well in pots.

Awesome job with the root veggies. None of mine came out this year. Potatoes never even flowered.

Ohh ok.

People can write in a name. That’s a protest vote, and one that should be fine in a mandatory voting system as seen in literally all the places it is.

A good candidate would be a great idea to help deal with apathy from a difficult to vote in system but making it easier would also be a huge step up.

Both things are needed and I wish could be done in any order. But not voting at all is definitely the goal of one side more than the other.
