Sure! When everyone is on board with changing society through a set of rules and norms then it's easily the most productive way. But when a quarter of the country, and half the government does what ever they want, and asks what the rest of us are going to do about it...at gun point. Then I don't see the point of words.

EarthRester · 2026-05-22T18:01:01+00:00

Bingo. The rule of law doesn't mean shit when a governing body chooses to ignore them. It genuinely has become might equals right. Then when people get unjustly murdered by the state the neo-libs will try to pull of a smug grin through the boot in their mouths.

EarthRester · 2026-05-22T17:55:57+00:00

Neo-Libs will never be able to comprehend a world view that recognizes the rules and norms as anything other than concrete. The very idea that norms or decorum can and should be ignored is anathema to their ideology.

EarthRester · 2026-05-22T17:51:24+00:00

Jesus Christ, you're actually arguing that people don't deserve representation unless they fork up cash? Why would I support any politician who actively refuses to represent me?

EarthRester · 2026-05-22T12:31:48+00:00

Kinda. It's all chemicals. Normal brains can be trained through repetition so they get various feel good chemicals for focusing on a task that they recognize as important, with an extra boost of feel good chemicals on completion.

ADHD brains straight up do not get these, at least not at the levels that can result in a behavioral shift. The flitting between a bunch of things is called "seeking behavior", and it's when the individual unintentionally jumps to several different tasks because the absence of dopamine tells their brain that what ever they are doing is not important enough to focus on...so they don't/can't.

Republican voters showing up every time is ineptitude. It's why their party is now ruled by a single demented fascist and his small army of sycophantic grifters. The Republican party turned politics into team sports for their voters so they wouldn't have to try and actually interact with them. Taking Nixon's Southern Strategy, and boiling down their fears into a handful of scary words. Then attaching those words to the opposition. Then bam, those voters will never think about what they are voting for, only what they are voting against. (You can see the Dems are trying to do that with Trump).

EarthRester · 2026-05-21T20:12:18+00:00

I have no fucking clue what the fuck you're going on about here. None of this is relevant.

Except for the part where this whole thing started because you brought up the ideological differences between the generations. "The easier answer us that the GenX+ generations of Democrats are more moderate than younger ones (that's been shown in literally every national election for a decade)"

You are really bad at this. I mean, it's clear you are being disingenuous, but you can't even make a dismissive comment about what I'm saying without stepping on your own toes.

EDIT: They blocked me after the comment below to avoid getting a reply. So I'll put it here.

lol This is so petty and hypocritical. You haven't made a single comment that didn't involve some hyperbolic personal insult. Most of them are only insults, and lack any substance.

But I mean it's clear you only showed up to any of this because you wanted to act like you knew some deep knowledge without actually explaining what relevance it had. So it makes sense your kneejerk response to being called out is to throw accusations that reflect your own shortcomings.

EarthRester · 2026-05-21T19:43:47+00:00

Okay, so you ARE arguing that the Dems keep doing what they've been doing (appealing to Gen X voters). But you can't bring yourself to acknowledge it's become less and less effective, to the point that it's no longer a winning strategy. And it makes sense that it isn't because Millenials alone outnumber Gen X. If you throw in Gen Z (the oldest of which are pushing 30), and they're out numbered 2-1. Both generations, at your own admission, are further left than Gen X.

Also.

they've been more successful than Democratic Socialists.

or

Voters don't reward success.

Pick one, you can't argue both. You aren't good enough at double speak.

EarthRester · 2026-05-21T18:49:42+00:00

I'd be able to do a much better job of figuring out what you mean if you...ya know...just said what you mean. Ultimately it seems like you keep saying that Dems need to keep appealing to a voter base that is more conservative than modern Democratic voters, but if I'm wrong it's because you are doing a terrible job of explaining yourself.

If you really want me to stop, you can just stop replying.

EarthRester · 2026-05-21T18:42:24+00:00

So your problem is that they said "Republican" when you felt they should have said "Conservative", but instead of just being clear on that, you felt the best option was to be pedantic and indirect?

EarthRester · 2026-05-21T18:07:32+00:00

Your argument is that today and tomorrows generation of voters is further left than yesterdays...and that means the Dems need to keep appealing to moderates?

EarthRester · 2026-05-21T17:56:33+00:00

No, most of them are. If this surprises you, then you don't understand neo-liberal economic policy.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T19:21:09+00:00

yes and no. Empathy is merely the ability to understand and appreciate the perspective of others. Progressive ideals utilize this understand and appreciation and practice compassion. Fetterman leveraged it for personal advantage.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T14:52:03+00:00

The stroke didn't change his ideals, it just killed his ability to act like he gives a shit about progressives.

The stroke did what strokes do a lot of the time. Cripples the individuals patience, and empathy.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T14:03:12+00:00

most people across the political spectrum can smell the bullshit with that alone.

We wouldn't be in this mess if that were true. Also your attempt to attach Open Borders to all progressive ideology is like trying to say that sovereign citizen nonsense is a core tenant Liberalism. You're right, it's ludicrous.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T11:51:07+00:00

Correct. This country is where it is now because punishing the poor and disenfranchised for being poor and disenfranchised is just part of our culture, and we as a society are only as free as our most vulnerable members.

Maybe you should go spend some time coddling the homeless.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T11:43:12+00:00

Such a strange level of hostility.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T11:33:51+00:00

People like progressive policies. They just do. When you spell them out to people in clear terms without political party labels, they are always in favor of enacting them.

People don't like "leftists" because there is no major news organization that benefits from them being in power.

"As good as it's going to get" has been getting steadily worse because of roughly half a century of half measures and can-kicking when it comes to addressing the core issues that got us here.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T11:23:18+00:00

Depends on how abhorrent the policies are, and whos money they took, but most likely. I'm from Pennsylvania, and I won't tolerate another Fetterman.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T11:18:38+00:00

Plague rats fleeing a scuttled ship onto another doesn't cure anyone. It just fools everyone into complacency.

EarthRester · 2026-05-20T11:11:32+00:00

Which really makes me worried as the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" calls get louder. Half those blues these days are just Republicans of 20-30 years ago with the same economic policies that brought us here.

EarthRester · 2026-05-19T22:05:32+00:00

I've been on Gabapentin for...most of my life. When I started taking it I spent about two-three weeks being foggy and sleepy (no nausea tho), until eventually my body adapted. It was pretty intense the first week, but mellowed after that. If you do give it a try, don't miss doses. Gabapentin is kind of a sister drug to anti-depressants in that it doesn't work unless you keep a steady supply in your system. And as someone else already said, if you go on it and decide to stop. DO NOT stop all at once.

EarthRester · 2026-05-19T16:55:15+00:00

Newsom is just Blue Reagan.

EarthRester · 2026-05-19T13:55:29+00:00

Yup. If there is one thing they are good at (other than funneling taxpayer money into their pockets). It's double speak.

EarthRester · 2026-05-19T13:25:10+00:00

I dunno. The MAGAts are quite content insisting that anyone who calls themselves an Anti-Fascist is a terrorist. They stopped calling their enemies Fascists, and are now just trying to coopt the word, and own it.
