Guessing it's about Muhammad Khalil, detained by ice even thought he's a permanent resident.

Exactly, these clowns hired the same types of people who barely pull off wins despite being the majority party. They're really good at collecting money and paying themselves, but really shit at winning.

The right has been stacking the deck, blatantly, for thirty fucking years. I'm a big fan of awarding electrical college points based on congressional districts. All of a sudden those cities in deeply red states get a voice.

Hopefully this will educate future generations to tax the everliving fuck out of the rich. American democracy has gotten worse as the tax rates fell.

They just don't get it. The game has changed, people are used to high energy fast paced delivery from social media. A presidential candidate needs to be engaging and deliver a super condensed message that's shareable. I don't know anybody in my personal life that was excited Kamala was running and I'm from the bay area.

Granted Biden withdrawing so close to the election left them without much time to strategize, I don't see them really playing it too differently. The legacy Dems are old and corrupt, they don't understand that being cozy with corporations is gross and that we want fiery new blood. They'll probably continue doing the same shit, playing the same old games until it's too late.

But Jobs was only the first half. Woz was the intelligent one, he just wasn't a greedy narcissist who stole from his friends (that was also Jobs if that's not clear).

Yup, if someone could make a bot that changes every comment I've ever made into promotion of violence I'd run it. Fuck them stooges.

In all honesty with all the red hate for blue states I'm hella over helping them. It's like being in an abusive relationship and our leadership just rolls over and takes it.

We should demand concessions to keep sending these welfare queens our money.

There's a bloodless solution. Liberals simply play the new game. It's all about anger for the right, everything they consume is designed to get them frothing from the mouth with anger. There's no intelligence or actual conviction behind it. Simply redirect their fury with media that perfectly mimics their anger porn. They lack the skills to decipher propaganda, so if we all view it and drive engagement algorithms will push it to them and we can radicalize them in another direction.

Sadly I believe they're too dumb and far gone to ever be reasoned with, so brain washing is the best solution IMO.

Back before everyone had maps on their phone, printing MapQuest maps was fantastic. This was the early 00's though and we all had money to burn still.

Yup. The Democrats as we've known them need to die or completely metamorphose. I don't want my political party to be friends with CEO's and billionaires, I want my political party to get the American people's fair share. I want my party to look upon trillion dollar companies and billion dollar families with the same disgust and ire I have. There's no such thing as a good billionaire, a good person could never take that much.

Let's bust some monopolies, let's tax the fuck outta tycoons. Stop giving billions of government dollars to privately owned and traded companies. Let's invest in infrastructure projects that make our country better. Who gives a fucking shit about GDP, it doesn't make my life better.

I work in the corporate side of retail for a large company. I promise you not a single vendor is absorbing the tariffs, but a few are getting around it by just moving production for the US market to other factories they already own in Southeast Asia.

These companies were already afraid of the Chinese government absorbing them and moved "headquarters" to Singapore. This isn't hurting them, it's hurting us.
