  • I’ve kind of wondered about something. Manchin kind of represents what Republicans should be. He opposes more liberal policies but wants to work with us for America’s benefit. He approves judges that will uphold the constitution, will negotiate instead of obstructing. However, we only got that with him labeled as a Democrat. On paper, this is better than him just being another GOP member.

    But, now we’re left with Democrats not being able to get shit done when really it was a conservative blocking progress on key issues.

    So my question, would we be better off if Manchin or Sinema were labeled independent from the beginning? Would Democrats be blamed less for what “they” couldn’t get done?

    For me, X-men 2 was harder.

    But Bubsy is just memorizing the layout or gambling. The game dares you to go fast like Sonic, but there are pitfalls every 2 seconds or you’ll be going down into an unknown area that could either be fine or it could kill you, and there’s no way of knowing beforehand.





  • To be fair, a majority of Americans chose not-Trump for 3 elections. And that’s ignoring the fact that voters in solid blue states just didn’t show up to vote because their votes don’t matter. If we lived in a Democracy and not a Democratic Republic, I’m confident he would have lost the plurality as well.

    But also, half the country didn’t ask for this. Even in solid red states like the one I live in, a third of us didn’t ask for this bullshit.

    What I’m tired of is the media sanewashing domestic terrorists and centrists giving the right a free pass by not paying attention and assuming “both sides” any time literally anything happens.


  • Oh, they like being told what do. As long as it’s by the right people, as long as they’re told that they get to make others’ lives worse.

    That’s the secret. Just about every “alpha” (with VERY few exceptions) is also a submissive “beta”. They’ll give up their morals, their daughters, their god, their freedom, whatever.

    That’s the fundamental difference between the left and the right. The left believes in cooperation, the right believes in the authority-submissive, alpha-beta dynamic.

    These people just aren’t in on the secret. As soon as they really start complaining they’ll be told to fall in line.
