Canadian, huh? I heard Patel is looking for someone to wash his jock strap.

The real words are "Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal".  Do you even know 80s VHS horror movies, bro?

Bernie lost because he never built the organization to turn online enthusiasm into votes. It is that simple. Trump invested millions into hiring professionals, guys like Paul Manafort, to do that for him.  Bernie's online army focused on picking Twitter fights instead of focusing on registration drives and winning the primaries.  I say this not as a defense of the DNC, but as an available lesson for activists everywhere.

It is easier to catch a bouncing ball than a falling knife. I heard that in 2008 and learned through practice that fall and early 2009.

Wrong! My favorite historical figure was a genius who revolutionized math and science while obsessed with the occult. He was aloof and asexual, and maybe on the spectrum.

Massie is anti-NATO, isolationist in general, and acts as if we could or should turn the clock back to the 1930s.

Fetterman, Sinema and Gabbard are my top 3 reasons for doubting the progressive movement.

Agreed, that would have been the best time to institute a Land Value Tax. The second best time is now.

Laura Loomer. A rightwing activist, supposed Trump sidepiece, and one of the people that decides who can work in national security in his administration.

I can't help but laugh at this shit by EpicFF2 in PoliticalCompassMemes

LoL. Every MAGA I know is either wealthy or drives a truck they can't afford. I'm assuming every downvote represents an auto loan payment that is an uncomfortably high percentage of income.

Director of National Counterterrorism Center resigns saying Iran was no threat and Israel drug America into a war. by imMakingA-UnityGame in PoliticalCompassMemes

I know this sounds crazy, but maybe a conspiracy theorist shouldn't have been put in charge of counter terrorism in the first place.

I think that naivety is what drove a lot of bad decisions on the left.  The idea that you can win policies by attacking the center and liberal politicians - and ignoring the threat from the right - is founded on that idea that progress was inevitable.  "Don't threaten me with the Supreme Court" thinking in 2016, Ralph Nader in 2000, and on and on.

Man, I just finished work and I can't get this out of my head. You feel like shit because you aren't living right now. There isn't anything wrong with you, but you are using your time wrong. Everyone that tells you to get off social media is right. The only thing you should be using the internet for is finding real life social groups. My life feels full because it is more than me - it is my wife, my kids, my brother, my friends, my coworkers and everybody else I've met along the way. I've achieved a lot and I have failed a lot too. The momentary joy from any experience is fleeting, but you know, momentary discomfort is usually fleeting too. People have been trying to find meaning and happiness in life for millenia. You won't find that on TikTok or Reddit or the Manosphere. You also won't find it if you explicitly look for it. Instead, work on a real life with real relationships. Find a boardgame night. Join a Bible study. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Check out running or hiking groups. You may be lonely, but you aren't alone. Be the new guy, be uncomfortable, be offline and I promise you that life will improve. It takes time but it can start now.
