This guy is informed. Socialism got us out of the hole capitalism dug in the depression. Seeing their power slip away, conservative politicians wasted no time in shifting the narrative. The US needs another FDR to equalize things (let's just skip the prison camps this go).

Exactly. There's a learning curve but once you've got it, you dread wipe only bathrooms. Installed a bidet on one of my toilets six months ago and now that's the only toilet anybody in the house poops in unless it's already occupied.

It's a little more like a third of the passengers are asleep, a third are screaming terrified that the trolley is on fire, and a third believes the fire will be good for everyone in the long run.

This is why we need an actual progressive party instead of just two parties.

When it dropped my folks were on a trip and I was staying with my grandma. Rolled into circuit city to get a copy and then dick behind the counter told me I wasn't old enough (12) to play the game. My grandma had my back though and told him off. Good times.

Nah, peak was 2005-6 when it was just college students. You could suddenly find the best parties like it was nothing, homework answers were exchanged openly, neither your parents or siblings could access and see what was going on. Farmville style games came about in 2009, which is when the decline became apparent to me.

The car definitely had some weird panel alignment after the crash, but that could've just been Tesla's legendary build quality.

The GOP cosplay as patriots to confuse small minded fools that striving for a better life is un-American. As if our founding fathers weren't looking for a better life.

You're looking at the map upside down.

Yup, so many of my fellow Americans simply don't understand literally anything about diplomacy and soft power. No concept of the give and take, fully fail to understand that we've burned allies and simply won't be invited to the table as often if at all.

My only hope is that America slingshots back to Roosevelt era policies. Wild that this exact shit happened and what saved us? Oh social programs and high tax rates on the wealthy.

I work in corporate retail in the USA. It's generally acceptable if you're out of the office on a business lunch. Cracking open a beer in the kitchen at lunch probably wouldn't have any immediate consequences but you're probably looking outside of the company for a promotion.

As a liberal male from CA; she's just not likeable. She gives off the energy of that high strung person everyone's trying to avoid talking to at the cookout.

Then again Donald Trump gives off that creepy conspiracy theorist pedo vibe that you'd also avoid and the right loves him.
