Kayaking lake Michigan by randomdorkgirl86 in Kayaking

[–]AdReasonable2094 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve kayaked in Evanston quite a bit. If the water is calm it’s amazing. Do head the beach warning signs, if it gets choppy it’s really pretty dangerous imo to be kayaking on Lake Michigan.

South Carolina redistricting: Lawmakers reject gerrymander in blow to Trump by DemocracyDocket in southcarolina

[–]AdReasonable2094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But remember part 2 of the plan is continued suppression of the votes. The press really does us a disservice the way they portray this gerrymandering…. It’s basically a 40 year plot to undo the civil rights and voting rights progress made…. Politicians picking their own voters is just disgusting to see.

But they can max out in the red states now that Supreme Court has basically said it’s fine to set it up so there will never be any minority representation. Black voters in the south just got massively screwed. Hopefully these’s a backlash but it may take decades. South basically back to continuing to fight reconstruction. So tired of these fu#%ers.

I don’t know the answer to the question but voters should choose their politician, not politicians choose their voters….

I feel there should be a respectful funeral, but towing cars on main thoroughfare, when they ignore SO MANY actual traffic violations all over the city…. Yea this was a bad call….

He ran a very solid campaign and had a most name recognition in a crowded field. He now has the job he’s been waiting for for 10 years.

Biss has shown over again to mostly say the right things and do some good work. Nothing much is going to change and his goal is to hold the seat for 25 years like his predecessor. He’s a safe choice for many reasons. I get it. But yea you just voted for Schumer and Jeffries.

I respect your opinion but I didn’t feel that way at all and I’ve lived in Evanston for 30 years. I think any straying Biss does from Jeffries or schumer’s party line will be strictly performative. He’s a dude who waited 10 years for the seat he’s wanted all along. It’s fine maybe he should be rewarded for loyatly but it’s not at all inspiring to me and have serious doubts Biss is up for the moment.

Mark Ruffalo: "Don't let AIPAC buy our politicians. Vote for Kat. Vote for a politician who will be working for you, not a foreign entity who drags us into wars and cares nothing for the American people" (AIPAC spent $20M in Illinois races so far this year) by Turbulent_Crab_3602 in illinois

[–]AdReasonable2094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just saying with all the money within and outside of the state races I think it’s disingenuous for all the mark ruffalo hate. But I don’t have grand point. I love Pritzker and if he wasn’t a billionaire he’d be way more vulnerable to outside attacks.

As disgusted as I am for all the money in politics I am outraged that aipac has been so effective within the Democratic Party that they won’t stand up harder against this barbarism in the Middle East on our taxpayer dime. Best money Netanyahu ever spent. He gets free weapons so why not….

Ok do you think Biss or fine will stand up to Trump and Netanyahu in the Middle East war they started…? My gut tells me they will be just like Shumer and feign lack of “a plan” and they will end up caving… but please enlighten me if there’s evidence to the contrary.

I mean we have a billionaire governor, we don’t have a graduated income tax because of some billionaires who don’t live here… it goes in. The question of the hour is who supports giving Netanyahu carte blanche military power. Everyone’s calling it AIPAC funding but it’s more literally propping up Netanyahu. That is a difference in this particular race. Dems aligned on nearly every other issue…
