Lol yeah keep shooting for the moon expecting some third party to come out of nowhere and hold the highest power in the world and practically no other office.

Because our shitty electoral system downright requires that the president bend to the whims of at least a few flyover states.
The sad thing is, far more people downright hate Trump than people who even tolerate him in the slightest.
Tyranny of the minority, here we go.
That faint weak voice was straight up embarrassing compared to Trump’s booming confident voice. Of course it’s easy to be confident when disregarding the truth. It still didn’t do Biden any favors.
I only got to see the closing statements. Biden looked worn down. Unconfident. Soft spoken. I could barely understand what he was saying and I had to turn on closed captioning.
Then Trump starts talking…and it’s all bullshit, but God if he doesn’t sound good spewing it.
America is fucked. The world is fucked. We’re all gonna die. Buckle in.
I’d actually been wanting to check them out, but now that I have Nebula, nobody is plugging their affiliate links.
That’s exactly it.
The lies in MSM aren’t what they say, it’s what they don’t say.
The best place to see this is at Planet Fitness, or similar place with TVs constantly tuned to all the major outlets. Watch them all at once and observe what each isn’t saying.
And the bastard, American.
Ehh…not that much.
Sarah Palin was supposed to bring in the party’s fringes for McCain in his 2008 bid. She was considered a nutter then.
One Obama later, and suddenly McCain was either the scum of the earth or the best the GOP has to offer, depending on who you ask, and those groups of people flipped in that time. Meanwhile Palin became a mascot.
Palin wasn’t even invited to his funeral. Didn’t speak to him one time in the year he was sick.
And people who work menial jobs don’t deserve to live since they can’t afford healthcare. Those people are obviously lesser and should die.
After all, if you wanted to live a long healthy life, they should’ve gone into a prosperous and productive career…like stock trading. Those guys have tons of money and thus deserve to live.
Right?
You realize that by the time today’s mortgages are paid off, a millionaire will be nearly anyone who owns a home, right? Being a millionaire isn’t the benchmark it used to be. It’s nothing. “Millionaire” is very, very close to what “middle class” used to be, and yet it’s still somehow completely unachievable to most.
Yet somehow we have people walking around today that could literally give $1m to every person in Flint, MI (population 100k) today and still have more wealth than all of them combined. And they’d still be the 15th richest person out of some 8,000,000,000 other people.
And people like you see them as an ally and inspiration.
World is fucked.
We’ve been getting tons of rain here, but we are still in an outdoor water ban.
Between 8-5, no lawn watering (except golf courses and businesses), no washing your car (except at a car wash), no watering your ornamental plants (except for farms and garden stores). No filling your pool (even a kiddie pool) or running through the sprinkler (except at the water park).
It’s not because of drought, but because one of our water sources is offline due to elevated PFAS, so they are blending water from other reservoirs, and those sources combined can’t make up the extra demand.
And also protecting businesses by making sure we can’t wash our own cars or lollygag through our own sprinklers. Gotta pay for that privilege.
We have to pay…for the privilege…of lollygagging through our sprinklers.
I get the lawn part. I hate lawns. But my yard is also a barren mud pit. I gotta put something down. Trying for mostly clover and other plants that don’t need a ton of water, but they still need to stay moist to germinate and start off, and that’s real tough to do if you can’t water it during the hottest parts of the day. I don’t really care what grows as long as it holds the dirt together and it’s comfortable to walk on barefoot.
Detroit failed because of automation and off-shoring. Things that could have been repaired or prevented politically, sure. But not directly caused by policies based in bigotry and ignorance.
If any correlation can be made, it’s from white-flight. Which would be caused by Detroit’s massive loss of jobs and Florida’s massive loss of land. But white flight, imo, is the reaction, not the catalyst, of its downfall.
History has its eyes on them.
Florida woke and brown? Half the state literally needs to take a nap, and the only brown is in their Depends.
In a different hemisphere than my ancestors, my surname translates to “Go Fuck Yourself”.
Found that out while working in a restaurant staffed by speakers of that language. Thought they were fucking with me but I googled it.
Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.
Hillary lost because she coasted through the end of her run. Everybody thought Trump wouldn’t stand a chance. We had more faith in people.
That and conservative psyops getting Bernie Bros to abstain from holding their nose and voting Hillary because they felt like they were being wronged.
Hey wait a sec that last part is happening again today…
If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of milk.
On the contrary. I’m a stickler for clean formatting, but I really think the wall of text emphasized his point more than anything.
