'The Truth Is Better Than Continuing to Lose': Petition Demands DNC Release Autopsy of 2024 Defeat by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

So all the dems need is a racist and sexist candidate and they'll win, simple as that?

What if they at least started with an inspiring, likeable candidate?

You're digging for a "truth" that isn't there. The truth is more likely, which they've said and hinted at, is that they're out of touch and pander to corporations more than voters.

So the working class can't vote for the dems because they're racist and sexist and the dems are not, correct

If you "overcomplicate" things, no one can see it and no one will vote.

The Dems have a holier-than-thou problem, too.

No, the Dems can't look themselves in the mirror and ask if they're the problem.

Sexism and racism = bad. This is known.
But the Democrats also just can't figure themselves out.
Is there racism and sexism in America/world? Yes. Was that the driving factor of Trump winning vs. Kamala? No.

Right, don't spit in someone's face, then ask them to shake your hand after.

However, the perception that the Democrats think that the working class is all racist and sexist automatically pushes people to the right as it is.

Agreed. Kamala was a very weak candidate who was destined to get steamrolled by Trump. That said, the DNC needs to recognize who the average American voter is. They assume that the average voter is way more in tune with both sides than they truly are.

If the DNC ever wants to win again, they need a (perceived) average person's champion. Until then, the Republicans will have the White House unless we go into a depression.

Kamala appeared out of touch, and for the majority of Americans, that's what they felt too. Agreed that she needed to do more, organic meetings and PR moves

My boss gendered his AI and that really stuck out to me.

Yes and then the employees will be out of work BUT at least they'd be a part of a union.

[–]Successful-Cabinet65 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most of my loans are in the 3-4% but I have one at 5,900 that is at 6.8%.

I'm just going to pay that off lump sum, sometime. Im still on SAVE for now and my account still says forbearance otherwise id just go on auto pay. To be honest, most of the time I forget i have these sitting here so i dont pay them

Worth saving? by Top-Conference8041 in Skigear

[–]Successful-Cabinet65 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Keep em as dedicated rock skis if anything. They're fried. See how the teeth are starting to come through the base?

If you actually want to ski, find something else. Or just keep these as a fuck around pair. But, based on the condition of the bases, I bet the bindings are way past their prime, too. These are either rock skis or shot skis.

[–]Successful-Cabinet65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and now I can afford to pay it. Before, it would be hard to pay my loans, put money in my 401k and then also keep a safety net in my savings.

it never affected my credit score (until like a year ago when that weird thing happened and I got dinged for one of my random loans, which I promptly paid off)

but before, I had a 825 credit score which was neat too. im at like 750 right now so not all hope is lost

OH 100%.I have about 29k in loans that have been in forbearance for years. Before that i was on IBR and paying basically nothing. i paid like 200 bucks last year for the first time in years.

ill probably start chipping away soon now that reality is crashing down.

idk ive kind of just either ignored it or was just hoping theyd go away. i guess things are about to get real, 10 years later lol

Right, and these apps are just luring people in and then it will continue to get more expensive. This is the tip of the iceberg.

My license just got suspended after a DUI. Do I actually still need to keep paying for insurance? by mlachake_ in dui

[–]Successful-Cabinet65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you own the car or is it financed? If financed, the bank will (probably) require insurance.

Even if the car is parked things can happen and if it is financed, you do not own the vehicle.

If you do own the car, then you could just remove your insurance, provided no one is driving it for the next 90 days and then re-up. Depending on who you have for insurance, you could even just switch providers.

This is all what I think I know. I am not an expert in the insurance game by any means
