A bottle of India Pale Ale. A variety of beans: butter, kidney, northern, lentils, etc.

People say it’s a big, beautiful bear!

I used to like the English version of The Killing better (and I still think it is amazing). I watched them both not long after they came out. I just went back and watched them both and now I like the Danish version better.

As somebody who just came here from Reddit, I find all of these communities refreshingly free of American politics.

Hey, South Dakota! Keep your vile, subhuman trash to yourself. The rest of us don’t want it.

Oh, look! Another disingenuous, confidence gaming piece of shit has entered Florida’s 20th race. Fascism about to become real and much more dangerous and we have amoral, shithole Florida districts all trying to play “Who can elect the biggest grifter?!?”

As somebody who has viewed Hasan Piker’s stream from time to time for years…I feel that even though he says this, and will likely continue to say it for two and a half years, he will “pull the lever” for whoever the D candidate is on Nov 7. 2028. This assumes that the Dem party and mainstream media don’t just stand by and let the GOP suspend elections in 2028.

To be fair, the cynic in me says Sanders never would have become president. Even if the DNC had let primaries take their natural course and Sanders had come out of it with the most electoral votes, then the DNC would have just brokered their convention and given it to Biden or Bloomberg anyway. If they somehow didn’t do that and Bernie was the actual candidate from the D side, the mainstream media coverage of him would have all sounded like Fox News or Newsmax fluffing Trump. All his major media coverage would have been Marxist chicken-littling. If, even after all that, Bernie somehow won in November of 2020, he never would have made it to the inauguration. He (and his VP candidate) would have had a little accident, a la Jeffrey Epstein, Paul Wellstone, Vince Foster, Terrance Yeakey, etc.

Gee, I wonder if the corporations will win these cases?

And yet, still, somehow orders of magnitude better than the current Nazi GOP. Even if you believed in stupid ass bullshit like purity tests or “both sides bad” before 2020, there is no effing justification for not voting D in 2020 and 2024. If you voted GOP either of those times, you are a complete idiot or a nihilistic troll. You became aware of what you actually voted in for Jan 20, 2017 - Jan 20, 2021. If you voted R again after that, you can’t play ignorant.

Goodbye, Discord. It’s been real.

I think we all know who Tesla’s worst enemy is…

This. Maybe don’t waste time and energy vilifying them now, but once Trump and his vile sick have are least not in charge of the Executive, then we can talk about what to do with these supposed ‘Trump Mea Culpers’. I say they should maybe get a slightly more comfy setup in their reeducation camps than those that didn’t stop supporting Trump until after the fact. The fallout from this needs to be a metaphorical bloodbath for years afterwards.

The GOP candidate for mayor of my city has been convicted of poisoning and killing 341 dogs. The Democratic candidate once had to kill her dog 30 years ago because it was rabid and violent.

They are both exactly the same. I don’t know who to vote for?

I could not stop thinking about how expensive it is for us to maintain these tiny towns, and how much better the outcomes would be and for how much less money, if instead of rebuilding their tiny town, we moved them all to citiesreeducation camps.

FTFY.

Let’s see Canada join BRICS+.

They are doing a fantastic job (at least relatively speaking)…and will consequently never get anywhere near the Dem nomination for President in 2028.

Wow. I would say that measured in an absolute or direct sense (and not compared to or relative to their peers at the time), Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, H.W, Bush, and Clinton were all more “progressive” and less beholden to their corporate masters than was Obama the fraud. Perhaps you could say that about any politician from the 70s, 80s, or 90s compared to any from 2008 - 2016. The Obama revisionism is just so sad.

The only way this will happen is by stealth. That is, a candidate that is mainstreem and moderate and has no history of being progressive or ethical, changes their stripes after they get elected. Any candidate who identifies themselves as somebody who will hold the GOP to account or has a history of trying to do so, will mysteriously never get anywhere near the Dem nomination no matter how popular they are. (cf any honest look back at how Bernie Sanders had the Dem nomination stolen from him both times by chicanery and backroom dealing by the corporatist Dems)

Dishonest headline. They didn’t do this to benefit Democrats. They did it because they have already been briefed (6 of them anyway) on how it will make no difference by the time 2028 elections rolls around.
