  • I don’t know about you all but as soon as Trump was elected I immediately resolved to cut my personal spending by as much as humanly possible. I’ve already canceled many of my subscription services and I have reduced my use of Amazon and other online purchases to absolute zero. I’m going to work on paying down every dime of debt I owe as soon as possible and save every penny. Because shit’s going to get fucked in the next 4 years with these clowns in charge. It’s gonna be a light Christmas in my household this year.

    I highly recommend you all do the same. Don’t be the last one holding the bag when the music stops and reality sets in. For example, look at the people in the UK after Brexit.






  • What I am wondering is what this publication is leaving out of the story in order to sell their perspective on everything. Maybe it’s nothing and this really is just a DCFS gone mad (there are certainly cases in which this is true), or maybe there’s more to the story and they are just glazing over it to make things sound better to their point of view.

    Either way, this is a Republican run state which is the party that likes to court libertarians so I am pretty skeptical of everything regarding this.


  • Yeah you got to love the fact that they’ve walled off an opinion piece that nobody really needs to read, cause who gives a shit what this fucker thinks? I was there, I experienced the shitstorm I know what went wrong. I don’t like it, but I’m not so blissfully unaware as to not understand what the actual balance of power is. I’m just not so suicidal as to think that letting the evil bastards have their way will actually lead to a better world in the end. It will lead to another civil war. One that will make Lincoln’s time look like a bloody picnic.




  • They’ve used the same strategy for literally decades and it has only ever worked once. That strategy is “our candidate is not the bad one”. And it worked in 2020 simply because that year was absolutely fucked and lots of people were looking for someone to “fix it”. Joe Biden might as well have been anyone in that moment. In previous years it…has…always…failed. It failed spectacularly with Mondale, it failed with Al Gore, it failed with John Kerry (honestly, you could had stood up a loaf of bread with arms and legs with a big D spray painted on it and it would have had a better chance than that milquetoast dipshit). It failed with Hillary, and it has now once again failed with Harris. People don’t come out to vote against a candidate. And never have. The base shows up sure, but they always will. But the unlikely voters or centrists only show up to vote for someone they believe in.




  • The US “Green Party” isn’t really a party or even a cohesive group of any sort. They don’t actually stand for anything other than “not the democrat”. Oh, sure they throw stuff onto a platform for the election to try to convince everyone they stand for something but mostly it’s a small fraction of former Democrats who come out of the woodwork every 4 years to obfuscate the presidential election with the net end result of taking a handful or votes that would have otherwise gone to a democratic candidate. After this election is over they will vanish again as though they were never there. This has been their modus operandi since their inception.
