I laughed too, until I raised a toddler with ADHD. He wasn’t diagnosed yet, but lord was it obvious he had the markers. Never leashed him, but definitely ran after him a lot, and had to keep a hyperfocused eye on him at all times.

I don’t laugh as hard now, I still giggle, but just not as hard

Which is different than starting over entirely

My vote was against rump roast, not FOR the Dem running office in 2020.

I’m not for any candidate standing against Medicare for all and the working people.

So yeah they won, but not because of love for the party.

Not just that, but making voting day a holiday would help. Make it a friday to monday four day event for fucks sake!

That’s like not liking how your Civilization game is playing out and hitting restart, it’s lazy.

I disagree, we need to do it the hard way and have actual reform so we have stronger checks and balances.

I keep writing my senators. One senator I voted for under the Working Families’ Party (his name next to both WFP and Dem). The Second Senator is an old fart who I wanted to look up to, but continues to enable the R party as a Dem.

I write them often, and a few days ago, wrote the old fart to let him know his actions directly are why I just changed my voter registration to independent. Im no longer registered Democrat. I was there for Bernie, and nothing good has come of anything over my 10 years as a Dem. I write the WFP senator to remind him I voted for him under that party name.

Will it do anything? I don’t know, but I hope everyone is writing thier senators and reps at least bi weekly. Its so easy to do today, you dont even need a stamp!

Money really needs to get out of politics. It’s foul how we have to play the game to judge the integrity of decisions.

For the people? Or for the payout?

Obnoxious government

Thank you for your sincere response

Write your senators about this folks, if you really care about Bernie and AOC, write your Senator and let them know you support Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Urge them to stand with them, or to at least listen to what these two folks have to say.

It probably wont do anything, but if we keep writing them (I write weekly) dropping their names, maybe they will take the fuckin hint

I saw a weird propaganda YouTube short the other day about him. It was a half AI short video just talking about how good of a person he is LMAO

I agree with you, but I also feel that AOC is what the Democratic party is supposed to be. She is not the status quo.

Yes

How can you represent the interests of the people, and their needs, while also representing the interests of a corporation when their goals dont align?

I’m here for group three

The revolution is basically inevitable now. May take decades before anything meaningful changes for the people, but it’s suffering is inevitable.

The dems are complicit, as a youth I was an independent. Bernie got me to register Dem, and I’ve never felt so betrayed, betrayed by this party constantly. I’m out. Its going to get worse before it gets better, sucks but, here weeeeee ah goooo

So I understand you likely are against any universal healthcare in our country? Because of jobs?

There’s always more healthcare staff needed everywhere, maybe if education and trainings for those jobs wasn’t so expensive…

Not every person in New Jersey works for big pharma. There are other folks too, Booker should be representing all of them, not just the ones who pay him off.

Was watching the knicks game the other night, noticed a man with an isreal flag hat on standing behind the coach. I couldn’t enjoy the rest of the game.

They’re out there… blind obedience is fucking illogical

Which is why I scream about employee ownership whenever I can. It’s the closest we can get in the states I think right now. NCEO

Fine, yes. I was just throwing an idea out there. I don’t know how to pirate shit anymore, and am to an age where I can afford to support artists directly, so if one can, one should.

Where did the music to pirate come from back in the day? Was it not uploaded from a CD and then file shared?

I did learn in this thread there are numerous other streaming services I was completely unaware of, so thats cool

Yeah it was okay here too, until he hit middle school and a classmate mate told him about it …sigh…

They don’t stay little for long, I know but I was not prepared!

Connecticut will identify as grinders

I’ll be shocked if Walmart choses to “eat the cost” for tariffs.

They don’t “eat the cost” so their employees don’t need food stamps, a program also on the chopping block. If they gut medicate/medicaid the Walmart pharmacy will also definitely feel that loss.
