Reminder: every awful thing that ever happened in the USSR that boomer generation Republicans warned us would happen here if we didn't elect them? Happened here because we elected them.

Look, there's simply no arguing that the US economy (the actual one, not a euphemism for "stock market") was at its height when we taxed the wealthy at about 90% and only allowed corporate tax deductions for R&D.
You want those days back? Revert the tax code back to how it was in the early 70s.

I hate to be this person, but I have negative money and could really use some help. I get paid this week, but I have to give my folks money so we’ll still be short. Anything helps 💛

If I had a single mote of poetry in my soul, I'd have filked the Shakespearean version of the opening lyrics to the Muppet Show theme in iambic pentameter instead of in free verse.
Alas, neither poetry nor talent is within me, more's the pity.

Assuming that Sheeran's tour continues after the current debacle, give a hard look at any act willing to sign on to replace those who chose ethics over money.

I have no doubt that Robert Kraft's contracts with Ed Sheeran's tour had some escape clauses he could trigger to not host the tour. My question is, how much money was Kraft actually willing to forfeit over Macklemore's continued appearances?

Free Palestine. Free Gaza. End the illegal settlements. Give that land back to its rightful owners. The Jewish people have every right to exist in peace, but Israel is not the entire Jewish world.
If you don't like that, ask yourself why not and go sit with it elsewhere.

Liberals courting the mediocre middle of "undecideds" and waffling Right leaners using watered-down conservative policies is a doomed strategy for one simple reason: if those policies would have convinced voters, then they wouldn't be undecided. They'd already be decided for the Right Wing.
We all know you think this.
This has never been a winning strategy.
This is not a winning strategy.
This will never be a winning strategy.
Would you prefer to keep doing the same thing expecting a different result? Or would you prefer to WIN ELECTIONS?

I see no winning from not electing Kamala.
I see a hell of a lot of death and destruction.
This whole conversation feels entirely too much like Palestine in 2024.
You vote, period. You vote for the person *most likely to be swayed by lobbying and public pressure*.
Otherwise, you’re just ceding.

Your "concerns" about trans people have all the validity of your concerns about homosexual couples getting married: none.
They're not even your concerns. The pedo billionaire club's propaganda machine worked to make you their zombie army in their fight against democracy. Not an exaggeration.
