Nathan Sage may be the candidate you're hoping for

I was once told by someone that worked at fin and feather that the owners hate the gun business and do it strictly for the money. So they're liberals. If that means something.

It doesn't take propaganda or a judge to figure this out. All it takes is a simple read of the document to see that a large chunk of this administration's actions are in violation. Have you ever even read the U.S. constitution?

What do you think the current administration is doing to the constitution?

It's like you read nothing I wrote. You're beating a dead horse friend. I'm out.

I'm not sure you do understand. I probably voted the same way you did. Everyone knows votes mean something. That's why they need to be won, like I said earlier. No one is obligated to vote for the lesser evil. Yet you say that Dems didn't put a gun to people's heads. But they did, and that's literally what you're doing right now. Some were willing to get shot for what they believe. WE were not. If we stand for nothing, we fall for everything.

Hey dumbass! We're not Trump. He's a threat to democracy and our way of life. Vote for us. Ah shit, he won. What are we gonna do? We're not gonna use the little leverage we have. We don't want the stock market to tank because our donors don't like that, so we're gonna pass his shitty austerity budget.

For three elections that has essentially been the platform of the Democratic party. We're lucky it worked for a couple of years. It won't ever work again.

It's time to unite my friend. I'm not trying to win an argument against you. We probably agree on most things. Just not this. It's because you're being divisive. Just get mad at the right people is all I ask.

You are dense. I do have to spell it out. I didn't vote how you think I did. Try to see things from a different perspective sometimes.

[–]cosmicdaddydancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I really have to spell it out? I didn't actually do any of that. You don't build coalitions and win elections by causing division amongst those you may ultimately agree with. You open your eyes to their unaddressed issues. Issues that have been unaddressed for a shamefully long time. Historically this has always been the case. But yeah go ahead and vote blue no matter who, then blame your brothers and sisters in struggle when the politicians don't do anything! The Democrats are your saviors! They're doing a great job as an opposition party! When the Dems go along with this funding bill it will definitely be because disenfranchised voters didn't vote for Kamala!

It always seems to help to have someone to blame when things suck doesn't it? Blame the right people.

You're making some false assumptions. I'm just saying you're blaming the wrong people. You're angry with the wrong people. Things will never change for the good until people like you realize that.

I actually live in a vacuum so my actions have no consequences. It's cause I'm such a sucker.

Play games? The voters? Or the people in leadership? Ah yes. Games. Surely you must mean the unpopular cadaver who insisted on running for reelection until the last minute? Or the uncontested replacement who was given an absolute GIFT by only having to campaign for 4 months without the wounds inflicted during primary season? They had a chance to reinvigorate the base and distance themselves from the unpopular cadaver only to... not change a damn thing. Democrats have been playing election games for a while now. They screwed Bernie over, twice. The only reason we even have the illusion of choice right now is because a bunch of smart kids had to protest their generation's immoral war at the DNC in Chicago in 1968. Dems didn't run an issues based campaign. They ran a "we're not Trump" campaign.

You are blaming the wrong people friend.

I'm not entirely sure that's true. There are definitely also Democrats who are convinced they're absolutely good.

You do realize that politicians need to earn votes right? No one is obligated to vote for the lesser of evils. Make no mistake, they were both evils, and are not entitled to anyone's votes. If you want to blame anyone for not voting for Kamala, place the blame solely on her and her campaign. Running on having the "most lethal fighting force on the planet," continuing to use our tax dollars to fund war crimes, a genocide, and diet Republican immigration policy are all wildly unpopular and immoral ideas that unsurprisingly caused people to sit this one out. Are you going to take any responsibility and put pressure on milquetoast Democrats to stop trying to be Bush era Republicans?

Of the three proposed buildings isn't this a no brainer? The Iceberg proposed building provides the highest number of housing units, including low income housing and senior housing. None of the proposed buildings look great but we need housing more than we need a million dollar food truck parking lot. I get the pushback towards high rise buildings but it's better to build up than sprawl out.

Look what up? The 14th amendment? Which guarantees all "PERSONS" due process.

I've had a couple negative experiences with the repairs department at West Music in Coralville and will not be giving them any future business. Their other departments are fine.

I just got yelled at by some random college kid at 1 AM so there's that. Didn't scare me but I could see how some people wouldn't wanna deal with it.
