It’s really funny because Cory always champions POSSE. Post (on)own site, share everywhere.

And it’s funny because he mostly does that.

It’s not those people that this sways. They are a “lost cause” in most regards. It’s the people who have hesitations and concerns. The people that have been lifelong Republicans but are feeling jaded or are starting to see through the facade.

It helps sway those people.

Lol,maybe because Hezbollah rockets are getting launched and we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

For what it’s worth I’m not judging them for their decision to not have kids. I don’t care if they have kids or not. That’s their choice. I’m just commenting on their incredibly fatalistic world view. When in reality, in the west at least, we have so many positive things going for us like tech advancements, healthcare/medical advancements, and the education opportunities.

It’s the safest it’s been in a while and even with what’s happening in the middle east and Ukraine, it’s one of the most peaceful times in history.

Holy shit the negativity between these two posts is disgusting. This world is far from perfect but it’s not a dystopian hell scape and it’s far from a lost cause.

Hop offline, touch grass, talk to your neighbors. Be the change you want to see in the world and all that instead of being the world’s biggest wet blankets.

I’m not sure Clinton helps at this point.

The speaker killed his own career by not reaching across the aisle. The only reason gaetz and the magats had any say at that point was because the speaker refused to work with anyone but Republicans.

That wing of the party gets neutered with a handful of Dem votes. You get those by working with the other party.

So gaetz didn’t ruin anyone’s career. The former speaker ruined it himself. Gaetz ain’t that “powerful”.

I’ve heard it described as “a drunk British sailor trying to speak German”.

Lol that what my first reaction too. They summed him up perfectly.

You aren’t wrong but…

Can you imagine the spectacle of an ancient senator literally taking a stand for something he/she believes in?

That’d be pretty powerful.

I somewhat disagree.

Music seems like it’s followed a similar trajectory of most things where it’s become more centralized and mass marketed. Music has to appeal to the masses for studios to pick it up. So there is an incentive to find music that appeals to the most people and turns off the fewest.

Similarly, you have a handful of studios telling you what is “good” and pushing it. Even if it isn’t great, it’s good enough that people listen and then they can create the hype behind it where it might not organically exist.

Some music bubbles up organically from independent artists but quite a bit is mass marketed and produced by big studios. And they have the money so they can choke out smaller artists.

The issue with the filibuster,now, is that it’s too easy. It needs to be hard like the old days.

Ironically, because it’s so easy we actually don’t even see filibusters often anymore. It’s usually the threat of a filibuster that stops legislation in its tracks. If it was harder, where you stood for days, then it might not actually stop legislation. At least it would be brought to force the issue.

You should have to earn it.

I’m sure the geriatric core of our Congress will thrilled to have to stand for hours to prove their points.

And that seems entirely reasonable to me. Unless I am missing something

I wonder how much we could get if we sold it back to France?

We could keep nawleans though.

School is usually cancelled because the schools are often polling locations.

It makes it all the more dumb to not have it as a national holiday.

There are campgain signs out that say “Law and Order Matters”

… sponsored by the local Republicans.

I assumed it was a Dem sign then I saw who sponsored it, then I assumed it was a joke, then I realized that no, it’s real and they are just that deluded.

Hell no. Play to win. As soon as you start playing to “not lose”, you’ll lose.

I love the confidence of this and let’s not pretend she won’t smack him harder the second time. She’s a former prosecutor and she’s also not 800 years old.

He’s scared, weak, and fragile. Call him out on it.

Former presidents dont typically get involved in presidential politics(especially of their own party ) after they leave.

They’ll typically stump for candidates in their own party if they were a popular former president.

You could argue that his lack of involvement with Trump’s campaign is pretty telling.

Lololol
