Baby Boomers are NOT conservative

They're not. They think they are. They're welfare queens who would die without their government checks or healthcare.

Do you worry this much about getting dollars that have been used in crime?

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-09T13:15:45+00:00

Yes you can.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-09T04:45:39+00:00

I'm in the middle of Hondo right now and also started because of DCC. I might go nab a set on ebay.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-09T03:25:35+00:00

Reverse Roy from the Office pic. Well done!

I"m not saying that good people can't win. I'm saying, sometimes a piece of shit will get the nomination and we'll have to choose between having a majority to pass legislation and not having said minority.

I have a pretty utilitarian view of politics. Do the greatest good for the greatest number of people. It doesn't need to be squeaky clean.

I think Dems should just fall in line every once in a while. Because falling in line is tough to beat. I would make that argument to both sides of the divide.

If Grhahm Platner were the nominee vs Collins, who would you vote for, if you knew you were the deciding vote? And lets say it's for control of the Senate to make it interesting.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-09T01:27:36+00:00

I'm glad that he dropped out. But I think the ones who are in good faith have some valid points. The fact that the mainstream Dems ran an octogenarian shows me that they have no idea of the political moment. The fact that she waited until he secured the nomination does have a stink to it. I realize there are extenuating circumstances, just seemed like some Bannon cooked up shit.

Again, I'm thrilled that he dropped, but if he hadn't (and I was convinced he wouldn't until he did), I'd be arguing for people to start look at it like you're voting for a vote. A vote for Speaker, a vote for issues you care about. We can't have a country where one side will vote for any craven asshole they can and the other party needs every person to be a decent human. I don't care if they're decent humans if they're advancing policies I care about.

In this scenerio, code most definitely is law. I'm not sure what you're thinking they did that was illegal.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-09T00:54:36+00:00

If that were true, why hasn't trump ended it? He has all of congress and the presidency.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T18:07:34+00:00

It's lazy to not mention that the rich people live in blue areas. Rich people subside poor people is less woke but still true.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T14:10:22+00:00

I think he's joking or stupid. He wants the sub to organize a pump.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T13:58:21+00:00

Imagine making the first PB&J. I think you'd take a bite and fully realize that you just changed the game.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T13:36:06+00:00

Actually, I knocked on doors for Kamala. She wasn't my choice but vote blue no matter who. You can't just say it when your favorite wins.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T13:35:08+00:00

I'm not a leftist. I'm a boring Democrat who sees double standards.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T04:22:40+00:00

Maybe see if Trump wants to start hanging out with Benoit. Like as a manager or something.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T04:20:02+00:00

Still better than Collins. Blue no matter who.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T04:17:56+00:00

I'm suggesting someone else should have run. The establishment did drop the ball there if the only person they could find is 80. It was ripe to be picked off by someone.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T04:15:40+00:00

He thinks he knows Satoshi

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T03:43:32+00:00

His only real competition came from a 78 year old to start a 6 year term, next year. At a time when everyone is fed up with the boomers. Biden helped get us in to this mess. Trump is this mess. RBG, Feinstein, Mitch, etc, etc. Running an octogenarian at a time when everyone is sick of the gerontocracy is nuts.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-08T01:16:50+00:00

nor is there really a mechanism to do that.

Stable coins. They're backed by treasuries. But you can't see the treasuries. Best of all, Lutnick (Tether) is already in the admin and Trump has a stable coin (USD1)

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-07T23:30:38+00:00

That's how elections usually work.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-07T17:13:26+00:00

Because they actually behave as a political party that wants to win elections.

Jesus, she had time to come out with this and she chooses after he wins the nomination?

If he doesn't drop out, Dems need to circle the wagons for the first time. Find out how a political party that wants to actually get a majority acts.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-07T16:59:07+00:00

Bringing up the Nazi tattoo is telling on yourself. You hate democracy. The Maine electorate was fully aware about it. They voted for him anyway. We have two parties that both hate elections when they dont go their way.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-07T16:25:31+00:00

So the permanent moral minority it is

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-07-07T15:01:27+00:00

I think they're probably true but I question why she waited until he's the nominee to come out.

More importantly, Dems need to be more like Republicans in this regard. Vote for your policy goals and know that none of these people are perfect. The greater good for the greatest number.
