“Bet $5 get $200”

They’re not trying to win. If they were there are so many ways to actually land blows against the GOP… “Weird” worked for a minute because they are weird!
Where I am from the Republicans are mainly redneck assholes with a lifted F-350, several guns, and several more child support payments. These fuckers are dumber than rocks but they act tough to hide how scared and pathetic they really are.
Then you have the dudebro white guys that all look the same because they are all wearing polo, khaki shorts, douche sunglasses combos. They are all Andrew Tate wannabes and are insufferable as a result. Also the Jordan Peterson fan club. Losers but they come from money…
And then you end up with crazy karens who popped out five kids before they turned 25 and didn’t mature past middle school. Bunch of fucking Jesus freaks that go to every school board meeting and scream about banning books. They don’t understand hypocrisy because they can barely read. The only thing they know about Christianity or the Bible is what they are told on Facebook pages like “Pugs for Pence”, “Trump is our savior”, etc.
There’s a new type now, people of color, mainly men, who are super Jesus freaks and are now hard right. They hate abortion and anything LGBTQ and I guess stopped voting blue in spite of these beliefs. This has always been a big voting bloc within the black community but now seems to be breaking off from being disgruntled Dem voters. If this trend continues Democrats will not be able to win any state in the south for generations.
Republicans are child molesters. There’s hundreds of cases of elected officials, priests, and far-right activists being busted doing SA or with CSAM. IDK why Dems don’t put that picture of Trump with Epstein up everywhere… scratch that, I know why and it’s part of why they can’t rise to this moment.
They don’t fight dirty, they don’t play to win. This kumbaya shit seems to be a core value among the Democratic base. We can carve out our own base by focusing on going harder, offering real cures for what ails us and not just empty promises.
GuAIlotines for that auto-chop action
In b4 she’s in some sort of Christian cult-like woo woo BS… or Scientology
If I start getting sleep ads I will not sleep until I find the CEO fuckface who invented this and give em the Trotsky treatment
Hopefully Brazilian leftists are explaining the billionaire is the one who took the treats away be breaking the law. The judge is just doing his job. If Elon wasn’t so lazy he would make a phone call and take care of this.
Seems like a great opportunity to radicalize people?
And yet what you do is more important than a huge amount of tech & office bazinga BS jobs. Society needs grocers. You are helping feed people!
But yeah, in an ideal world both warehouse and retail, whatever that looks like, is run by machines. Let robots move the goods from a bin to a car/bag/shipping box and let us focus on art, music, enriching ourselves.
It would be nice if all these spaces could convert to housing. I want to tank home prices from the sheer amount of housing options available…
You gotta find the warehouse where the oil is stored and do the old hi-viz vest trick
No one believes they are the bad guys. IDK how to break people out of that cognitive self-defense.
Also there’s a sort of doomerism that comes with realizing you live in a country like this. It is easy to feel powerless & despair so why not push those feelings down and try to ignore it? I get the logic. It’s wrong, but I don’t believe people in this position can’t be converted to the left. We have to try reaching people. We can’t give up.
The voter turnout will be telling. Do people stay home this time?

Oh noes, not the precious marketplace of ideas
A lot of people are “employed” by running dropshipping businesses based on marking up cheap stuff from AliExpress. This is going to fuck over a lot of people in precarious financial situations.
I don’t expect Dems to care
