  1. Joe Biden is literally the only president of my lifetime to see the working class gain.
  2. The Democrats are literally the only ones looking out for the common people, but whatever
  3. I agree with this but find it extremely sad, and always have, going back to the days that I voted mostly Republican. Probably my biggest regret is I always thought of the religious nuts as useful idiots in the R coalition.
  4. For me perosanlly, I just can't and probably never will, understand what they want. It's so detached from every value we were raised with and taught to believe.
  5. Small victories and all
  6. Oh, it would.
  7. That's who he is and why he votes for Trump.
  8. You have described me exactly. The thing is, I still have a wife and son, a mother, loved ones. I'm not gonna roll over, I will keep fighting for them.
  9. Something I have thought for a long time, which seems to only have accelerated, is that a huge part of the American electorate wants an impossible outcome. Which in and of itself is not so surprising as it's somewhat human nature, but this in particular is a weird sort of ennui and meaninglessness that has been brewing since the 90s. We are the most cosseted and comfortable people ever to grace planet earth, and it isn't enough. By any metric, everyone from the poorest to the richest in this country has a better standard of life than they did 30 years ago, and it's not even close (people living in a cardboard bow maybe excluded). And yet we are as divided and angry as at any point since the 19th century. There is a just a purposelessness for a great swath of society that I don't see any cure for.
  10. While I agree with the first point wholeheartedly, the second is incorrect, at least partially. They weren't tricked.
  11. Exactly
  12. I will say I'm not remotely surprised either, I had a feeling this was the outcome. But it's really not the working class, it's middle class people. They know a lot of people are going to suffer and die because of this, but they don't care, because, reasons.
  13. I think that is the most immediate effect, increasing internal migration
  14. This has been my observation for about a decade now.
  15. Gotta keep fighting and voting yall
  16. Hard to say right now. I'm not super plugged into the NOVA area as down here in Tidewater
  17. How did Pawnee vote
  18. I expect this thread to outpace the other one somehow
  19. I'm going for a bike ride. You folks keep up the fight
  20. That's my kind of political speech right there.
  21. From your lips to god's ears
  22. Last time I had Jack in the Crack tacos was about 15 years ago visiting a friend in San Diego. The hotel lobby bathroom did not survive in one piece.
  23. Dude, that's even better
