The left in the US needed to do something similar to redmap, basically take over the party from the ground up. Field leftist candidates in every position at every level. School boards, dog catchers, literally everything all the way up to president. maga started this decades ago, and it's why they have so many people in influential positions now. The left got outsmarted, outmanoeuvred, and beaten to the punch. And it's quite likely too late for them to do anything about it politically as the US political system doesn't look like it's going to survive much longer.

Buying property in the middle of nowhere is genx shit. I'd have to go 4 hours outside of nowhere before land prices started becoming realistically affordable, but I'm one of those entitled millenials who expects to live somewhere where I can also have a job.

It's just another one of the millions of little ways Americans get screwed. I lived in the US for quite a few years and it was a shitshow. Here in Australia, the government provides a portal for filing your taxes (and pretty much all government services - just a single portal). All your info is pre-filled, you just add any additional undeclared income or deductions you want and submit. Unless you're dealing with millions of dollars, the whole process takes 10 minutes.

Well this is confusing as hell. I think ditching pennies is a great idea, but I despise trump and maga and agreeing with anything he wants to do feels incredibly icky!

Never been on Facebook, just got a lifetime ban from Reddit for being mean to magats. 🤣

I believe it's all coming down. Don't want it, not looking forward to it, but I think our society is definitely in decline.

Awww, and I was sure that this was going to be the year my paycheck finally did more than keep me alive until the next one...

We've all seen the before and after pics of Gaza. We've all seen the videos of Israel's war crimes against Palestinian people. Are you going to tell us Hamas is lying about that too? You seem to be an expert on the truth of what's happening over there.

The sooner we shut down the CDC, the sooner we can stop worrying about this shit! (/s)

It's pretty common for past presidents to be asked to advise on things they might have experience with or specific knowledge of. I think they all keep their clearance mainly for that reason.

Well that'll show em!

We disagree with what you're doing, so we're not going to work cooperatively with you!

And then what happens after his billionaire takeover is stopped? Well thank god that crisis is averted, back to business as usual!
