Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • I’m not convinced that “showing empathy” is the way to court Republicans.

    I feel like I'm being very clear here, but let me clarify.

    I'm not referring to the sadistic people that you're referencing. There is, I think, a distinct difference between the cultists and the voters that Democrats can scrape off with a little effort.

    I'm referring to the ones who are showing regret for their vote, because most Democrats seem content to push away all those votes without any regard for the fact that you absolutely need to flip the people you can in order to change the party alignment of the Federal Government.

  • The problem wasn't that Harris courted Cheney.

    It was that she stared down a whole population of Americans who got poorer under Biden and said publicly: "I wouldn't do anything differently." It also didn't help that she told all of these increasingly impoverished people to just be joyful for three months of her campaign before even addressing anything policy-wise.

    But, at the end of the day, if you want people's votes, you're going to have to figure out how to display some level of empathy, because openly hating everyone who votes differently hasn't worked to win them over to your side.

  • That's some down-home terminology right there. :)

  • They should feel shame and actually learn from it.

    This point-of-view is shortsighted and silly. Those votes are needed, and you just saw it nine short months ago. At some point you are going to have to grow up a little.

  • Theses people can be brought into the fold if you don’t spend your time doing victory laps for being right.

    I actually agree with you, but I don't think these people in particular are the ones coming into the fold. It's the ones who are realizing they've been lied to and changing their minds, and yes, people really, really need to stop throwing it back in those people's faces.

    To me, we've hit 1941, and folks need to understand that you're going to have to ally with a few Russians with whom you have a mutual disdain if you want to take down the fascists.

  • I also referenced a shutting down of the government, which to me, seems pretty clear.

    Can't pass a regressive tax bill if the government shuts down.

    Democrats aren't powerless. They're complicit. The BBB was only possible because they made it possible.

  • I understand that this is sarcasm.

    But you just watched Democrats hand over their best leverage by opting not to shut down Donald's government and voting with Republicans, so, they're not entirely wrong. We don't have legitimate opposition. We have a minority party performatively putting up a false pretense at opposition, sitting back, and watching their stock portfolios soar.

    The first UAV attacks date back to the middle of the 1800's.

  • Do you have a "catchphrase"? if so, what is it?

  • I don't know that I have a catchphrase, but I use "holy moly" a lot in my sports announcing, and "my dude" a lot in casual conversation.

    They're weeding out non-loyalists because the fascism is going to be ratcheted up tremendously, and for that to happen, they need people without a conscience. True believers.

  • There were two things Donald didn't actively lie about in the campaign:

    • His immigration crackdown.
    • Letting RFK gut our health infrastructure.

    So this person did actively vote for those two things. The rest is debatable.
