Yeah, I find I need to read a book or find some other way to engage my brain - woodworking, painting, gardening, etc.. The enjoyment comes back.

Gummies are incredibly easy to make. I just made a batch 2 days ago that are sitting in my counter drying before I put a powdered sugar on the outside of them and stick them in the freezer. I use moulds so that I know EXACTLY how much I'm dosing. And the best part? I'm not destroying my lungs by any means.

....yes....like very normal people....

...because taxing the rich, adding affordable daycare/child tax credits, a propose ban on price gouging, and other middle class incentives were abandoning the left...totes. The narrative that's being pushed here is pretty bullshit. Her platform was on point for the middle class and below.

Sure. She campaigned in battleground states, more than any where else....but that was strategic. And it makes sense at the time.

Everyone just keeps saying "she abandoned the left" without adding literally any examples of it.

The DNC fucked up by not holding primaries, but Harris ran a pretty damn good game.

He gave them table scraps while feasting with his cronies (remember those COVID checks?).

Just look at what happened the farms after Brexit. Lol. That will tell you all you need to know.

I don't believe that it is. I believe that the problem lies in the fact that we're not communicating effectively with the voting base. Her policies we're not bad and effectively DID target the working class, for example child care and expanding taxes on the upper class. Her economic policies were strong and we would have seen benefits. However, none of this matters if this information isn't getting to the voter base.

Conservatives are actively targeting Gen Z and nonpoliticals with absolutely bullshit lies - for example, staying that liberals are actually racist, that DEI is making things worse for people, and that our whole policy is based on insults and hatred. Of course, to anyone paying any attention, this is blatantly false....but to an outside viewer, whose struggling to make ends meet, who's single and insular, whose constantly told that women have it rough (and nothing about how to deal with men's problems) they find the conservative arguments start to gain roots.

We want to win next time? We need to talk to people. Tell them what being a man really means. That empathy, not control, is what a society like the US should be based on.

Hey, so the 15 million thing isn't true. That was the number before all of the votes came in. She actually gained votes in battleground states, but lost them in non-battleground states (states that didn't really matter). Just a heads up. We need to be using facts here (not trying to attack, just trying to get that information out).

This is fucked. They are allowing your tax dollars to be used for Christian Fundamentalist Schools. All that fear mongering about "brainwashing" your kids with CRT and the LGBT-agenda in public schools that never existed, and the Republicans are literally trying to push a religious agenda down the throats of this citizens of this state.

How long before girls are banned from the higher level STEM classes and instead required to take Home Ec and urged to be stay at home mothers and wives, you know, like Harrison Butker and his wife suggested?

We are fucking backsliding as a society....

Damn dude. This guy stood up and protested about something that meant something to him, and you're busting his kneecaps because it wasn't soon enough.

The fuck have you done lately?

No one is ever going to be perfect. The least you can do is be happy that some people are legitimately trying to take a stand against the IDF's genocidal actions.

Ah yes, the "Fuck you, got mine" the Boomer Conservatives are so famous for.

Me and my wife are both members of TST and we LOVE the work they do. The Tenets they promote are loving, self-respecting, and do justice towards an ideal world of Individualism, anti-authoritarianism, and critical thinking - i.e. everything that Christianity and modern conservatism in general are eager to suppress. We regularly donate to them, and we constantly purchase stuff through their store to help support them.
