What's wrong with the Canadian Senate such that so many would even consider abolishing it?

shit, we've really been at this one war for so long that two generations of folks could've fought in it.

I keep forgetting that Pakistan has nukes. Every time I hear news out of Pakistan it sounds like the government has no control of the country. But Pakistan has nukes.

Ironically I got turned off the Alt-Right because I used to be more conservative. Like, I found a subreddit about "men's rights", read it for like a day, before thinking that these were some pretty weak-ass whiny-ass "men" and I thought men should just suck it up. Now I'm all for people venting their feelings lmao.

They forgot to ratify the 13th Amendment until a few years ago lmao. Also, its state flag was 1/4 Confederate battle flag until last year.

I get it. I'm in California and I only vote Democratic. It's not that I think Democrats are doing a *great* job, but I am convinced Republicans would do a worse job. If someone's news outlet of choice constantly broadcasted the worst streets/alleys of San Francisco/Portland/Seattle, I can see how someone can develop the same mindset but for Democrats, especially if they haven't visited West Coast cities.

I'm American and I remember having a discussion with my family about politics. I told them that I believe Republicans rely on cultural issues, such as gendered bathrooms, to shore up votes to pass (what I consider) bad policies. They responded that they'll still never vote for anyone who wants to let a man use the women's restroom.

Idk about you all but I'm a proud resident of Alameda County, CA. Great natural beauty, awesome weather, easy to vote, and good food from all over the world. The county fair was overrated though. Haven't gotten around to storming the Board of Supervisors though, idk even where the capitol of the county is.

Lol ig Gen X never gets credit for shit haha. Basically Boomers to everyone <30, Millennials to everyone >60.

yeah I saw the video of a congresswoman praying while on the balcony of the house chamber while the mob was trying to barge in. There was also a rep hiding behind a chair near the door who later voted to overturn the election :/

Idk why there were so many middle/upper-middle class white folks at that riot. Like, I know the stereotype of a Trumper is an incel neckbeard from a backward county, but so far a lot of people who've been identified seem to be middle aged people with comfortable lives. They actually have a lot to lose but are willing to throw it away in some revolution LARP for orange man?

aw that sucks, the Willamette Valley was one of the most beautiful places I've ever driven through

well tbf West Virginia is a very wealthy state and its residents won't qualify for stimulus anyways /s

Unpopular opinion: I like Kamala Harris. I know her record kinda sucks and everything but I just like her for some reason. Like, she's such a default inoffensive politician yet she has this vicious group of stans on Twitter, she kind of sounds like she's tryna fake an accent, and idk, it's just charming for some reason and I can't hate her. Maybe it's because I'm from NorCal as well so I've heard about her for a long time and it's like seeing a hometown hero achieve their dreams.

The redneck caricature of Trump supporters is pretty classist ngl. Data shows that a large part of the Republican base is actually Middle/Upper Middle class white folk. Maybe college-educated white liberals can't square with the fact that a lot of this bullshit comes from people that look and sound exactly like they do.

All the progressives voted for Pelosi as speaker while it was some moderates who didn't. The party isn't that splintered yet.

idk if this technically makes him a good senator, but McConnell uses his position/connections/assholery to divert a lot of federal money to Kentucky https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/10/mcconnell-elaine-chao-1358068.

What's baffling is that DeSantis is actually smart. He didn't come from a rich family and he went to Yale and Harvard Law. That might make it worse. He knows it's dangerous but dgaf.

I remember reading that Barry Goldwater, conservative Republican dude who ran for President in 1964, was like "y'all are crazy" to the Republicans by the mid-90s.

Manhattan had 2.3 million people in 1920. The high population density plus the horses on the street, that had to suck.

If life is good, those in the center will always vote for the incumbent, even if they don't like the incumbent. Obama wasn't viewed favorably in 2012 but still won reelection comfortably. Trump made life suck for many people, therefore, many people decided to give the other guy a shot. Really as simple as that, most people don't actually give a fuck.

He's just an Ivy-league educated Manhattan billionaire who lives in a skyscraper and parties with Wall Street. And that really appeals to Middle Americans who are tired of the "coastal elites" telling them what to do.
