If the revolution needs a baby sitter, then the revolution will probably just stay home instead.

Ironic that the party who wails and moans about DEI practices gets artificially propped up by the EC and would absolutely get demolished without studious gerrymandering.

Do not be fooled. The GOP is not running a failing campaign, it’s just that they are putting all their energy toward backdooring the whole democratic process itself. Their campaign is little more than a diversion for their coup.

It has become my opinion that Dems are patting themselves on the back and relishing in the failing, uninspiredl campaigning of Trumo lately. My thing is, if they aren’t putting their energy into debating, and campaigning, and generally trying to win the election traditionally, where is all this energy and money going? I bet good money that the campaign is not their number one priority at all, and they are instead putting everything they have into their impending coup. Bribes, deals, well positioned traitors, etc.

Ok, but we’re trapped on the boat with them. What have we done to deserve them?

I’m going to disagree with most of these comments. They don’t protect the prong so much as they protect the cord or other objects in the cords vicinity (painted surfaces, fragile surfaces, etc). The little plastic cap that covers tire stems on cars and bikes , while keeping it clean when installed, are primary to prevent chaffing issue on the inner tube whike shipped and stored; same thing with this prong shroud. They have holes in them as to not retain moisture I imagine.

Long story short, the prongs are metal and have corners. They are the strongest, “sharpest” thing in the box. The plastic isn’t protecting the prongs from us, it’s protecting us from the prongs.

Unfortunately, this seems to already be happening. The inferno they’re making is the United States.

Anybody holding foldable media is already a lost cause. We need 20 somethings to vote like their Zyns depend on it. If this is what political engagement looks like in 2024, then so be it.

It’s a race between junk food vs. an actual meal. Junk food is easy and self indulgent, real food requires time and effort. It doesn’t matter that junk food is a terrible value and lacks any nutrition. The Trump people choose junk, conservatives choose Trump people because the Trump people are mathematically mandatory to maintain their caste.

Sure why not, and lets kill a couple goats and shit for good measure too while we’re at it.

I mean, we’re a lot of things, we’re not weird.

I would like to hear more about these other things. Rapists (Bergdorff Goodmans)? Pedophiles (Epstein)? Racists (1973)? Fascists (“day one”)? Seems like “weird” might be the least of their issues.

The big three.

Kamala is gonna absolutely destroy you in the debate.

The good news is: probably; the bad news is: she has to be absolutely perfect.

Nobody gives a shit what Trump says. It’s 99% saw dust. He can say or do almost anything, and it won’t even stand out against the backdrop of 50+ years of well publicized questionable behaviour. Then the people who benefit from his relevancy just hone in on the clips and bits that closest approach coherency. Trump isn’t even a man, so much as he is a concept. He could just stand there mutely making faces and his base would hunker down and figure out a way to conform it to their rudimentary sketch of reality. Where as everyone is going to be going through Harris’ every word with a fine tooth comb.

Even if she evicerates him, cites facts, speaks eloquently, it’s just going to be conspiracy fodder to the mob. They’re a mob. All they do is yell and burn down what they don’t understand (which is plentiful).

I’m excited to see it. But I would council against underestimating hateful people.

This doesn’t directly relate, but Iggy Pop once said he doesn’t mind to be seen cross dressing because he doesn’t consider it to be a negative thing to be a woman. They think Tampon Tim is a slam, because they think being compared to/associated with a woman is demeaning. Take note republican women, they don’t respect you.

Source please?

Raccoons are much smaller than me. But I would be hesitant to corner one. Never underestimate the destructive capabilities of someone with poor priorities.

If “tough” means “focused”, I’m fairly indifferent. Indiscriminately breaking up families and harrassing people because you’re bigoted is not “tough”, it’s just hateful. It serves no real world functional purpose. And that’s the policies of the right. They aren’t tough, because they aren’t results orientated, beyond punishing “them”. I have to assume (hope) Harris is motivated more by real world cost benefit calculations and less by knee jerk stereotypes. Tough could mean fair, if she intends to apply the rules more justly, and less punativatively. If tough means more scrutiny with less prejudice, it sounds more like a better return on investment for border infrastructure.

I honestly thought this was about to be another orb post from the thumbnail.
