Yep, when the Republicans went mask off in 2016, the Dems followed suit. They’re no longer content with lying to us or selling us on vague ideas like hope and change. I thought it was refreshing, back when I thought people had the capacity to demand change.

Since the formation of the Democratic Party there haven’t ever been two Democrats elected subsequently without the first one dying in office. The pendulum is constantly swinging back and forth, getting further to the right with each swing.
Hell, that might have been the Dems’ original plan: get Biden elected a second time, have him retire during his second term, then Harris gets all the goodwill and she might have been able to keep a D in the White House until 2032. It would have been a shitty plan, doomed to fail even worse, but it would explain why they waited so damn long for Biden to step aside.
Just when you get to the episodes where the meddling civilian oversight committees screws everything up until the brave military breaks the law to save the day, be sure you don’t learn the lesson they’re trying to teach you.
Selling cheaper food to places that have less money? It cannot be!
Alternative title: Capitalists accused of doing capitalism.
That’s not a firing offense, that guy has HR Director of Hiring written all over him!
It could prevent more blood being spilled over a larger time period however. Definitely a “nuke vs ground invasion” dilemma where there are no good options.
Glancing over that word salad, it looks like a pile of bandaids on capitalism.
Here’s a list of actually progressive things that would do what her list would be pretending to do and more:
Universal Healthcare. Wealth cap. Breaking up any corporation that is in more than one industry. Universal education. Complete medical and student debt forgiveness. Complete cessation of aid to governments engaged in war crimes. Complete eradication of for-profit weapon manufacturing. Universal Basic Income.
I’m not at risk of losing health insurance, because you can’t lose what you don’t have!
I’d laugh, but my teeth hurt.
Ammo isn’t, from what I hear. However arrows can be made out of any relatively straight and light material.
Stock up on cheap vodka and old rags.
A party for the working class would be the biggest tent of all. But focusing on divisiveness is more profitable.
What about grammatically?
There is a pretty good chance that such brainless devotion could work in favor of democracy. After the Toupee is dead and buried the Republicans will have to find a different cult leader to rally behind, but if half of their voter base keeps voting for a corpse it’ll split the party and Democrats will sweep the elections.
That’s assuming we even have elections.
If it isn’t the original Gutenberg bible I refuse to swear.
I am all but praying that Harris is pulling a bait and switch on Wall Street. It’s the only way I see fascism being actually stopped, instead of merely delayed or slowed by 4-8 years.
That’s been the entire campaign strategy for Dems and Repubs this year, but this is one of the few exceptions.
I had to reboot my Windows 10 desktop because the software I have to manage my wallpaper wasn’t working (and still isn’t), and had to unplug my second monitor during reboot otherwise the Steam overlay won’t work. After rebooting, I had a different software prompt me to update and the save file location window froze the browser for 3-4 minutes, while discord was freezing in the foreground. The taskbar disappeared until I restarted Explorer.exe, some telemetry process I had never heard of before was eating up 92-100% of the CPU and I had to go into the scheduler to disable it.
This is an average day with Windows nowadays. I didn’t even mention the myriad of perpetual issues I’ve been having.
Of course on my Linux laptop Chrome wouldn’t update automatically either through the browser or from the command line (and I have to use Chrome because Google Drive doesn’t work right on Firefox on Linux).
I’ve heard multiple sources call this “huge” but to me it just sounds like “the building is on fire but we promised to try to use an eye dropper to put out no more than 1/15th of a square inch of the fire.”
Day 1065: still feeling fatigue. Poor sleep habits or longest period ever?
