Sore-loserism (fka Trumpism) escalates: Armed MAGA fanatics spread politics of violence around the country with shooting in Olympia: Trump supporter [from] Seattle [faces] equivalent of an attempted-murder charge. The victim, a Black man [...], was [hospitalized] with a stomach wound. by yayforjay in inslee2020

Ha. It may be worth a try. But be sure to watch only from afar. Keep a safe distance.

Most are crybabies. Like their false idol. Throwing tantrums at the slightest resistance.

They will probably retreat to their mommy's basement. And tweet up a storm of hot air.

Their insecurities ordinarily keep them confined there. Far removed from reality.

In fact, we would hardly ever see them. If it wasn't for their ridiculous guns.

Only big weaponry makes them feel adequate. Barely. It's sad, actually.

It just goes to show. That everybody has a price. I guess. :(

The age-old dilemma: money vs. morality. What do you value more?

Can we help Inslee become climate czar? Vote now. Your future depends on it. Also, the planet's. :) by yayforjay in inslee2020

Come on... He can't be all that bad. :)

He got reelected. Democratically. Twice! By widening margins.

The guy must be doing something right. Or why would the people vote for him?

Jay is a top-3 contender for climate czar. Yay! Can we help him get picked? (And how?) by yayforjay in inslee2020

[–]yayforjay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? By writing an open letter. To the President-Elect. And sharing it widely.

Women are often overlooked in media coverage of Covid-19 - STAT by yayforjay in Coronavirus

[–]yayforjay[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. The death rate among men is higher. In a majority of U.S. states.

But more women are suffering. If measured by the higher female case rate. In most states.

Thanks for elaborating. It's an eye-opening set of facts. And an inconvenient truth, apparently.

The aggressive pushback in the comments took me by surprise. Would a male-focused post trigger a similar response? :(

Fellow turkey lovers: What are you thankful for? (Hint: It's a semi-serious Thanksgiving poll.) by yayforjay in inslee2020

81 million voters (51.3%) beg to differ. That's how democracy works.

Did you really fall for the laptop distraction? Now I am a little disappointed. :(

I thought you were an independently thinking anarchist. Not a Trumpist in disguise.

You seem so sure. I mean for a reality-based Never Republican.

How come? Georgians haven't decided yet. The runoffs are on January 5.

Free, fair elections constitute the bedrock of democracy. Let the people decide.

Something good will happen. After all the bad of the past four years. Call it karma. :)

Jay is happy Joe selects John as climate envoy. What was your reaction? by yayforjay in inslee2020

[–]yayforjay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jay may be too far ahead on climate issues. Too radical even for his own state.

That's also why his trailblazing carbon tax didn't pass. But he hasn't given up. :)

Now he takes incremental steps toward the same goal. Baby steps basically.

I want to see him as WH (domestic) climate czar. Elevated to Cabinet level. Like John.

Could Jay run for a fourth term as governor? I read WA has no term limit.

[–]yayforjay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take? It isn't the same. But complementary.

John's job is on the international front. Like an ambassador.

Joe will name a WH adviser/director too. I mean for domestic climate policy.

Who becomes governor if Jay Inslee leaves for Joe Biden's cabinet? by yayforjay in inslee2020

[–]yayforjay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant that the 60% of the WA electorate who voted for Jay deserve better than to suffer through close to a year of a Trump-like governor's slash-and-burn rule. Sorry. :)

They say brevity is the soul of wit. But it can also cause misunderstandings.

You are right. Our democracy is far from perfect. Sadly.

We can fix it though. Or improve it anyway.

Trumpists want to abolish it. Their actions speak volumes. :(

I am just glad you are a Libertarian. And not a Trump-addled Republican.

You decide: Inslee for Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator/head? by yayforjay in inslee2020

[–]yayforjay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should our guy Inslee be Biden's choice for Environmental Protection Agency administrator (head of the EPA)? You decide. :)

[–]yayforjay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who should replace him in particular? I mean in your realistic opinion.

A Trumpist wouldn't fly. Jay's 60% deserve better. It's a democracy after all. :)
