Because we’re werewolves, not swearwolves!

It’s that time for the West Wing Gail-Peters Projection Map scene

I miss Sparky.

Wasn’t funny the first time either. Welcome to my blocklist.

Edit: looked at their post history. Not a moment too soon.

It’s not necessarily a woman - it’s just primitive clothing

Good to know (as long as you’re not preoccupied).

You’re just starting. Pace yourself; with luck it’s a good long ride.

It’s called “age”.

Get used to it. It comes for us all.

The us could use it, but barring a war on its own soil, you’re not going to get it anytime soon. All you can work towards is small changes that accumulate.

You can claim “status quo” all you want but it’s just the same as “not voting sends a message” - it enables the people already there to continue, and honestly, too old or whatever, Biden is the best we’ve got right now.

There’s a great article on NPR about Adam Kinzinger and why he has left politics for now. I’m a Democrat, but I agree with him:

I also know that if everything kind of tracks the way it is in 2024, I won’t be voting Republican because, again, I think it’s a simple question of democracy or no democracy. And the Republican Party represents right now a real slide to authoritarianism … If it was Joe Biden and Donald Trump, I don’t think there’s any question I would vote for Joe Biden.

You can wait for the perfect politician all you want, but I’m not letting the cult slip into power and fuck us all up again.

PS: Also, calling Biden a “pre-ascendant facist” - NO. Absolutely not. Not sure where your politics come from, but it’s not any sense of reality. Go live in borderline democracy, or China or Russia (or their adjacent states) and then rethink your definitions.

You can have one in Colorado too; no problem there. Plus: skiing, (mostly) better air, hiking everywhere, and multiple brewpubs in every town it seems.

Downsides: The Colorado Rockies are your team, and the first-frost car accidents when Texans and Californians are on the road.

Poor deluded person. Mostly though…poor.

But enjoy your blindness and rage.

My first vote and I voted 3rd party for Anderson. Reagan beat Carter and the rest is downward US history.

You can vote for your Cinderella candidate, but in the end sometimes the better choice is the one where they’re better positioned to make the little changes. Enough little changes move the ship where it needs to go. Big changes are nearly impossible to pull off.

That’s bogus and you should know it by now. Democrats have since Obama been pushing for a universal health care system, but Republicans keep killing portions and driving in middle-men HMOs.

But hey - you blame who you want. I have good health care now that I left the US. You keep arguing…I’m sure that’ll fix everything one day.

Oh, come on! Because others keep voting Republican and blocking Dem efforts for any kind of health reform. Let’s not play games here - we KNOW why.

Did you ever vote Republican? If so, that’s why.
