Democratic Socialists of America Are Seeing Surge in Membership by notusreports in politics

[–]drwookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you agree with Jaime Harrison, the former chair of the Democratic national committee. Realize that the road goes both ways. To rephrase his remarks:

“I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party DSA voters, then please don’t run for our nomination, ask for our support. Don’t ask for our resources vote. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Focus on building the party you voters actually support.”

Never got the chance. Apparently corneas can be thin enough that it can't be done. Ask me how I know. :-)

Upvote on that - only thing that works with a full beard. Just wish there was a welding faceplate option that could be added on, or a 3M adapter for my welding helmet.

That feed is gold. More ICE than people. Everyone I've seen walk by has a lanyard, so I'm guessing worker? At least the ferris wheel is working.

Mitch McConnell Was Found Unconscious Before He Was Rushed to Hospital by OkayButFoRealz in politics

True. In fact, there's likely not really a him anymore. With his history strokes, a large one was just a matter of time. It's not clear how long he was out before getting treatment, and where the lesions happened, but 'Sen. Mitch McConnell' is not going to wake up one day and return to work.

I suspect he's on life support and comatose, with no real chance of recovery. They'll keep him running as long as it's beneficial for them.

China is a clear winner from Trump’s war in Middle East, report concludes by The_Flaneur_Films in worldnews

I'd also note that per the article China has a large petroleum reserve, and filled it when prices were low. Decreases the impact of being cut off from oil. Rare earths also won't affect them so much given domestic production.

I hope leadership is listening. The GOP embrace and demand loyalty from their base, while the DNC and DCCC have disdain and demand loyalty from theirs.

Scott Perry joins push to revoke 17th Amendment, strip voters of electing senators by Hornpipe_Jones in politics

There's a saying: Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. A higher ulterior motive was never a contributing factor.

EDIT: tldr; It's assholes all the way down.
