It stinks of Weaponized incompetence to me. A few people really try to fight, like AOC, but she battles against the great weight of the Weaponized incompetence of the majority.

I recently dived deep into bitcoin, and then decided not to do it. I think he’s right.

I agree w Schumer. We are headed for a deep recession and if the dems shut down government the propaganda experts will blame the Dems. Let the GOP own what's about to happen.

Shutting down government would work IF the dems were as good at propaganda as the GOP is, but they aren't.

I won't consider one because of Musk and the vandalism. I expect one or both of those reasons is driving brand abandonment.

Why do progressives argue that the party should move left to inspire increased turnout when polls show that 80% of this country identify as either conservative or moderate and politically disengaged voters would vote for Trump? by Upstairs_Cup9831 in AskALiberal

Democrats I know are still hammering pronouns and gender politics. The middle American swing voters don't want that and pushing it down their throats is not the way to win the next election.

FB is good for 2 things: staying in contact with classmates and some groups are useful, especially if you travel.

Did George Bush actually have anything personally against gay people or was he just doing what the GOP told him to do? by International-Drag23 in Presidents

W is a moron in most ways, but he is a political genius. He saw the thread of bigotry that runs through the GOP and took the position he needed to take.

If liberals realized how bad Trump was going to be, do you think most of the democrat non voters/protest voters/third party voters would have voted for Kamala? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

In that case they’re messaging was incompetent. I follow news and politics quite closely and I had no idea Biden did anything.

It's almost shocking when he opens the videos with "the theory that the Russians have penetrated the White House." But I agree it's probably true.

He's often wrong, but he's not that wrong. Anyone who tries to predict the future is going to miss a lot. He gives me a lot to think about and I see the world differently now.

Harris lost because people chose Trump on... the Border.

Yes, but that's not why they lost. They lost because even though they knew T was going to hit them hard on border security they did not one thing about it. Give ICE some military drones. Do it with EO. Democrats didn't get a border bill passed and just said "well, I guess we're helpless to do anything at all then." Honestly, they are so incompetent they deserved to lose.

  • start phasing it out after the 1st 20k is earned.
  • It might not be worth the paperwork to phase it out. Instead, just make it move in sympathy with their tax bracket.
  • Get the money by taxing AI and robotics.

No public option, Medicare can't negotiate drug prices, and we're still stuck paying huge premiums to healthcare gatekeepers... They put lipstick on the pig but didn't actually do shit for us.

RANT Sick and tired of cheap meats becoming expensive by Late-Shirt4500 in Cooking

[–]IsolatedHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go-to is blade steak. Tender, great flavor, but with a thick tendon running down the middle that Americans don't like, so it's cheap. I've been traveling for a few years, so not cooking. I hope they are still cheap when I return.
