  1. Not only that but oldest Boomers are now almost 80. They're dying off plus in 4 years wouldn't  hesitate to vote for someone that promises to save their Social Security and Medicare by raising the age to 70 or 72. Gen X is a small generation and will be outvoted by Gen Z dumbshits that get their news from Rogan and might very well be persuaded to cut old people programs further just as Gen X gets old enough to collect. In the near future, slashing or even eliminating SS and Medicare may no longer be the political third rail it's been our entire lives. 

    Oh, well. Whatever. Never mind

  2. Elon said somewhere that we can expect things to get worse for a while before they start to build it back better. If they go through with even a fraction of what they're promising, it'll be catastrophic. If the process is "incomplete" and voters are angry, the oligarchs are not just going to be ok with being voted out of office in the midterms or in 2028. They're planning to come through those bad times way ahead of where they are now. Much richer and with permanent power. 

    Image of The Greasers will still be Greasers, and the Socs will still be Socs.

  3. I think the Elon, Trump alliance is going to last as long as Dotard is president, unfortunately. All Elon has to do is flatter him publicly and help him get paid to the point that he's one of the richest people in history. In return Elon gets power, all the government money he wants, and the ability to pursue his stupid projects like colonizing Mars. Meet the new oligarchs.

    If she loses, Dems may learn someday that running bad candidates doesn’t usually work.  When Biden pulled out they should have done a 1968 and had an open convention.  A stronger candidate would have emerged, even if it turned out to be her having to fight for it.  
     

     

    Great insight! '68 worked out great for the Dems!

    I have tickets to come back to US/Texas for Christmas/New Years.  I'm thinking of cancelling and just going to Bali or somewhere not as fucked.

    Good news for you. You can go pretty much anywhere else and not be as fucked. Maybe Venezuela, Gaza, Argentina, South Sudan.

    That was never going to happen. It’s at best a tossup, just like it has been for months.
    This country is sucky, full of sucky people.

    I know we're full of sucky people. I know it wasn't the most realistic hope but god damn, I want some respite from this shit. You newly minted leftists need to understand that the respite is as good as it ever gets. Your priorities whether it's universal healthcare, climate change, gun control, electoral college reform, or whatever is never going to happen. We play defense against fascistic lunacy. That's what we do on the left. Throw your priorities and dreams over there in that closet, dig in and play defense. Hope that Kamala walks on water with a 49-51 Senate and that the economy is in good shape come 2028 when we do this bullshit again. Kind of drunk.

    Worry when Trump wins a state Kamala can't afford to lose.

    Until then, it's all noise.

    I hear you but I wanted a fucking mandate and an early night and to feel ok about the Senate. I wanted 330ish electoral votes and a clear repudiation of the fascist fuckface.

    Please let’s not have Wisconsin close. That was literally the plot line of the final season of Succession. 

    I'm off topic and kind of drunk but I laughed so hard at Cameron Frye choosing Famous Blue Raincoat for karaoke. One of the most beautiful songs ever but such a bad song for karaoke.

    Washington crossed the Delaware in the middle of winter at night for this nation and you can’t be bothered to cross the Potomac?  

    ZQXSSFM Crossing The Swamp with ...

    List of figures from left to right: Nikki Haley, James Mattis, Ben Carson, President Trump, Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Mike Pompeo, Sarah Sanders, Ivanka Trump, John Bolton, Kellyanne Conway, John Kelly

    And Donald Trump crossed the swamp with a bunch of rinos that have gone on to say he's a fascist and a threat to democracy.

    This is intentional. The media is also complicit with this plan. 

    Harris if she wins has the ultimate opportunity to pull us out of the oligarchy to eventual collapse doom loop. Let's see if she has the backbone to stand behind a tough FTC, SEC and has a strong AG to expedite both trust busting and start enforcing the actual securities laws that are clearly being violated by a certain class and bring back accountability. 

    This right here is a huge part of an actual way forward out of this mess. Anti-corruption, target oligarchs and monopolies with an emphasis on encouraging competitive markets and building small business. It's good policy and would be enormously popular.

    Did somebody post Jackson introducing Kamala?

     

    I missed the Mel Gibson endorsement. Is there anyone who's ever had a touch of celebrity that's too toxic or insane for the Trump MAGA people to embrace publicly? Mel Gibson, Antonio Brown, Roseanne Barr, Lara Logan, Kanye West, Ted Nugent, Kristi Noem, Hulk Hogan, RFK Jr, Russell Brand. I feel like there's a decent chance we'll see Bill Cosby in Pennsylvania soon.

    When was the last time Melania was seen in public? Bonus points for when was Melania seen in public with Donald?

    At that Alfred Smith dinner fundraiser thing last week. Before that, had been a long while since she had been seen with Dotard.
