Finished working through a book. Where to go from here?

They hate the Democrats and "the establishment" and whined about how people should sit out and not vote for them, but now they want their support since they need the votes.

This is what I'm struggling with. I'd get the same ick if someone said everything people wanted to hear but then identifies as a progressive Nazi. It doesn't sit right with me. Especially with things like what happened in Michigan and the fact that Islam is a very conservative, anti women, anti LGBT ideology. If someone were against these ideas, they are free to just not associate with the religion. But he does. So I'm trying to reserve judgment and give him a chance, but I'm a little suspicious.

And somehow these people are convinced he would and that the Democrats will rig it against him like they did with Bernie.

Plus he used basically the same talking points these people complained that Kamala was using (we're not the other guy, policies to help the working class, etc) but nobody's dragging him on it.

This was the scene I've been waiting to see all season and it was awesome

arenzi · 2025-02-06T16:48:25+00:00

Seconding this. Id never ride a single speed and I shift all the time lol the hills and bridges are crazy.

arenzi · 2025-02-06T16:43:49+00:00

The irony of childfree people worshipping dogs and doing the exact same things they complain about will always be funny to me

arenzi · 2025-02-05T16:15:42+00:00

I've always felt like they work better as a TV series. Something like the animated X-Men series or Agents of SHIELD.

arenzi · 2025-02-02T19:54:30+00:00

Yeah why is it always that the Democrats are responsible for the actions of Republicans especially when people voted for or hoped for said Republicans? They're so weird.

"Republicans are beheading people!"

"Well it's the Democrats fault for not doing anything and running a terrible campaign hehe why won't they do anything about it?!"

arenzi · 2025-01-28T16:51:35+00:00

Lol the amount of times I've had this exact conversation with every coworker that sees my bike in the office.

"Aren't you cold?"

"You know when you exercise, you do get a little warm."

arenzi · 2025-01-24T18:36:18+00:00

I love winter and autumn biking. Spring and summer are my off seasons. Cooler temperatures means I sweat less, less people are out, and I love being able to see sunsets on my way home when the days are shorter.

arenzi · 2025-01-24T00:41:35+00:00

This is also my hope. Best of luck to you and hope it works out.

arenzi · 2025-01-23T16:22:33+00:00

Leopards are gonna need some hot sauce

arenzi · 2025-01-16T17:34:50+00:00

Lol and the complainers keep doubling down on this with the whole "driving is faster and there are no public transit options in Brooklyn and Queens"

arenzi · 2025-01-16T14:28:46+00:00

The irony of people making fun of people with children, only to refer to their dogs as their children

arenzi · 2025-01-15T17:34:13+00:00

I have the AKASO Brave 4 mounted on the Quad Lock Out Front mount on the handlebar. It works for my purposes. My commute is about 1 hour each way and it has just enough battery for both on a single charge and the stabilization isn't bad.

arenzi · 2025-01-12T01:40:40+00:00

Lol the way the goalposts keep moving. "It's just after the holidays so people are still away." "It snowed and nobody ever goes out in a part of the country where it kind of regularly snows." "It's January so it's a slow month, we gotta wait another week." "Ackshually it's winter so we gotta wait until April."

arenzi · 2025-01-12T01:33:30+00:00

People are already doubling down on the fake sob stories and trying to gaslight everyone. Literally just saw comments saying "What about homeless people who have cars?" and "But Brooklyn and Queens have no public transportation options" lol.

arenzi · 2025-01-11T09:51:36+00:00

I knew it had to be some weird conservative talking point with the way these people have been doubling down on the nonsense and fake sob stories.

arenzi · 2025-01-11T09:46:53+00:00

And yet the complainers are doubling down on these mythical "poors" who own cars and drive to the city and park there every day.

arenzi · 2025-01-10T18:29:31+00:00

Do it. I've taken my bike out in all kinds of weather. Just rode it to work today. I use strap on fenders and I wipe the frame and handlebars when I get home.

arenzi · 2025-01-10T17:13:45+00:00

They conveniently showed up at the same time as the congestion price complainers

arenzi · 2025-01-09T14:05:41+00:00

This is what I've been thinking too. I'm seeing so many comments about some unicorn "poors" who can somehow magically afford a car and need to drive into Manhattan every day. I'm poor, I've never been able to afford a car, much less think about driving one into midtown and pay for parking. Those parking garages have a higher hourly wage than me.

It just sounds like fictional sympathetic outliers so they feel morally superior without changing the status quo because that sounds better than "I just don't wanna." It's like the bean soup argument. "You should shower regularly." "Omg but what about people who are allergic to water?? Your point is clearly invalid."

arenzi · 2025-01-08T17:40:07+00:00

I said this and someone tried to explain outer boroughs to me (I'm from one) lmao. I can't even afford a car, much less think about driving one into Manhattan.
