I once bought a custom engraved Zippo that said “Daddy believes in you” at a pawn shop for $15. I bought it for very similar reasons.

Hmm, it sure is nice to hear someone eloquently put into coherent order the words and ideas that I ruminate on with regularity.

Unlike Stein, Harris probably would have accepted that endorsement.

We didnt start the fire…

“DNC Leadership would rather lose with a neoliberal candidate than win with a progressive one.”

I think I had this exact revelation during or right after the 2020 primaries and it has deeply impacted my approach to voting ever since.

It’s a bit one-dimensional, but I have no doubt it was a contributing factor.

Harrison has reportedly chosen not to seek to stay on as DNC chair but his dismissal of Sanders’s statement provoked anger of its own, including from the reporter and columnist Glenn Greenwald. “You and the corporatist and militarist party you lead just got your ass kicked all up and down the US, because Americans see that you only care about enriching yourselves at the corporate lobbying trough,” Greenwald wrote. “If the humiliation you just suffered doesn’t usher in some humility and self-reflection, nothing will.”

-rarely do I read an article and genuinely think “man, that guy got slammed.” as the rhetoric typically suggests, but wholly hell did Harrison get slammed.

Nebraska got weed and another state elected the first openly transgender U.S. Representative. Tlaib retained her seat.

Also, I learned that a grade school classmate won a state rep seat in one of the midwest swing states earlier and that’s good news to me, at least.

I’m not convinced Kamala is a “functional adult” she never won a primary. -In fact she got less than 1% of votes in the two primaries (AK, and NH) she did run in respectively, in 2020..

scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds.

Ah, yes. Hurting the homeless. Of course. Silly me.

Huh, I wonder what led to this failing? The source doesn’t elaborate.

Things can always get worse.

Correct, even under Biden and Harris.

So, I’m just pondering here, but it seems to me that it’s a bad Idea to run an unpopular presidential candidate because when voters choose to stay home, they also take their down-ballot votes with them.

What kind of rock? There are some pretty neat rocks out there.

Voting for a lesser evil is still being complicit in some degree of evil.

That’s a very broad statement that I can’t argue with because I have no intention to defend Donald Trump. Wiith that in mind I imagine anything he does to Gaza is just in line with what Biden or Harris would have also done but probably dumber. They had over a year to make us believe otherwise.

Short of putting boots on the ground or dropping a nuke there is no way to “fuck over Gaza even more.”

This makes me glad. I obviously wasn’t hoping for much from this election to begin with, but I’ve been finding a lot of silver-linings since the news started coming in. Shout out to Nebraska and Florida for their cannabis legalization ballot measures.
