Since I'm working downtown today, might as well try a new Ramen shop.

A few of my Arboral friends on my recent OR Coast trip. The "Octopus Tree" is pretty cool. The tall one is Oregon's largest Sitka Spruce at 800ft.

Corn nuts!!

Yeah I eventually had to as well. I've can only take so many crazy accusations in a single day.

Nah, I'm gonna mute you instead. I'm done here.

There is NO good reason for Trump over anyone, and those who think she should have "been better" are living in a fantasy world. If you voted for anyone but Kamala, this current Trump presidency is partly on you, and you are little better than MAGA. Full stop. Discussion over.

Yes, I'm very sure Obama would have been better than Trump. I'm very sure Kamala would have been better than Trump. The local dog catcher would have been better than Trump. Any other questions in this meaningless thread?

I lived thru the AIDS crisis. I still work with that community every day. I lost more friends and loved ones than you have ever likely had. What do you do to make your community better? Yes--I am pissed by the accusation that I'm not somehow fighting my ass off here. What have YOU ever done??

Even if she were a right wing Dem warhawk. Even if she had Repubs on her cabinet. Even if she was "as bad as Biden", she would STILL have been better than Trump. She could have been the worst Dem president ever and I bet we wouldn't be having people shot in the streets by ICE.

My pleasure.

Really...like really really. Step back. Take a breath. Touch grass or whatever. You're obviously too worked up to make a cogent argument. You're attacking the wrong person (me) in the wrong way (with something that Newsom said). It's not making sense, and neither are you. Stop it.

What are you talking about? I am not defending the Democratic party in general or this guy in specific. And what party would you prefer I support? Republicans??

I am queer. I'm also work with a social service agency that directly provides services to transfolk. I've been there for 22 years. I've been fighting for queer rights since long before you were born.

I'm just poking holes in your "both sides are the same" argument. That is ridiculous, reductive and childish. Clearly they are NOT the same because the rest of our former allies would not be absolutely hating us in the world stage were Kamala president now.

Sounds like people who chose not to vote for Kamala out of some misguided sense of moral superiority should have voted for her anyway and kept the Trump regime out of office.

That still doesn't answer how she would have annexed Canada and Greenland? You said they were "exactly the same". Are they really??

Thats such bullshit. They don't do the same things. Tell me how Kamala would have tried to annex Canada and Greenland??

If folks had voted blue rather than staying home, we would not be in this situation. I don't care if the "I'm not my opponent" argument leaves people flat. It's a fascist regime. I'd have voted for George Bush over Trump. There is nothing that justifies not voting against him.

Even if Dems don't do everything that we'd like, they are still better than what we have. There is no excuse...none whatsoever...for anyone sitting out the election using the "both sides" argument. The only party that benefits from "both sides" are Repubs. Why is that so hard to understand??

You'd prefer Trump and MAGA continue to be in charge, then? Cuz that's what you get by insisting these arguments were justification for not voting blue no matter who.

Never was there to begin with.

Someone has drank the far Left kool-aid and is now working for the Right. This whole "both sides are the same" argument has got to go. It only helps Repubs, which is why it exists as an argument to begin with.

To be fair, those who chose not to vote (esp. in States drumpf won) should also never be forgiven.

Problem is, enforcement is going to only come down on traditionally blue or blue leaning states (especially the latter).

Again, congratulations to the Seahawks and all us fans.

Congrats Seahawks! I'll cheer for that!

Great idea! My buddy will be over in 15 min. We will watch ep. 4 & 5

They'll blame a staffer until Trump takes credit for it, anyway, not even knowing, remembering, or caring what he was taking credit for.

They say hope springs eternal.
