He kinda looks happy with the arrangement. Also, our government is corrupt and won't impeach no matter what happens. Maybe he's better off staying with you.

That feels right considering how the season has gone so far

I mean cool Bernie but you were elected to fix it, not the working people.

The majority of Americans aren't delusional enough to think he gives a rat's ass about their problems. But the problems still remain regardless of who is president, and they are only becoming worse with time. For a great number of Americans, a good economy doesn't improve their life enough to matter

I imagine that has a lot to do with their own personal struggles. That which makes the economy good does not make life affordable for the majority of Americans, and denying this is what has gotten us where we are now.

Maybe, just maybe, when someone is behaving like a fascist and violating the constitution on the daily, we have a duty as Americans to say, "No, I will not honor that. I do not respect that, and I will not pretend to." Perhaps we should stand against tyranny.

Tell me you don't know how retail inventory works without telling me. The best way to absolutely bork your working capital is to carry too much inventory. These people are morons.

He's such a dipstick. Has he considered it's one of the highest stress jobs there is? Has he considered the US treatment of mental health? 25 years seems like long enough.

Listen, I try to be accepting of everyone and their hobbies, but y'all hobby horse riders are testing me. Are you serious? Or is this some sort of elaborate practical joke you're playing on the world?

Daylight savings is great and all, but have we tried NOT deliberately fucking up our brains for no reason?

Sorry. Best we can do is 15 fewer years.

This is amazing. Thanks. I'm going to try if.

Oooohhh boy has that women never heard of or considered disabilities and it shows. Doesn't make as good of a sound bite to say, it's okay to quit if you're hurting yourself, though.

Health insurance. These are the best we have and they have no interest in being progressive. They are looking to fund genocides. People are not voting for them because they are objectively bad. The solution is not making them better but tearing down the system tha6lt made them so better options

How have I put others down? I haven't been swearing. I haven't called you any names. I have experienced American politics for decades. And the democrats have gone progressively (oddly) more right the entire time to try to entice moderates and meanwhile 10s of thousands die every year from lack of

Also keep swearing. That doesn't mean we don't need to dismantle the system that gives us the choice between center right and radical right. The democrats are the ones moving right to placate people who are never going to vote for them.

The democratic party not clearly having an agenda, or managing to make people's lives better or standing up against genocide does little to motivate people to vote. I voted. I can understand people not voting when the choices are continue to bomb children or maybe don't continue to bomb children.

Cool story bro when you have criminalized homelessness, housing is unaffordable, and people can't crawl their way out from under their student loan debt. Democrats aren't the answer. Not anymore.

and everything else that is just taken for granted in every other developed country. I'm tired of every generation doing markedly worse than the one that came before them. And democrats losing elections because they refuse to acknowledge that people are struggling. But the economy is great.

every year to placate voters they are never going to get and another that keeps leaning into fascism, christofascism, and oligarchy. This country is broken, and we can't just vote it away. I'm not a child. I'm tired of not having paid maternity leave, single payer health care, mandatory vacations

Haha. A lot to learn. I have learned this from decades of the democrats moving to the center to capture votes that they never got. I have been learning for many years. Look at Europe. They actually get to choose from an entire political spectrum where we get one party that gets more conservative

I am NOT a Democrat. The democrats abandoned the left for neoliberalism years ago. Why would someone who was on the right care about lgbtq+ rights? It's not a binary. You don't have to choose one or the other. The whole system is terrible.

And their parents who were threatened with being criminalized. Because it wasn't a 100% popular stance. It was the right thing to do, but the democrats are always afraid of alienating the center. They're never brave. They are cowards that cater to the worst people who may possibly vote for them.

Tell me they were prominently featured in her policy. Or really at all. She was running on the assumption she would be better than the alternative which is true, but she was never brave enough to say anything. Never brave enough to defend teans kids that were losing their medical care

So apparently bluesky is where you go to argue with centrists, and X and Facebook are where you go to argue with the right.
