The Omnipotent Being argument. Nice

Well, Controlled Opposition is a lucrative field, friend. You just won’t find it on Indeed.

Biden was a milquetoast politician, on the wrong side of decisions, for most of his 50+ year political career.

Sanders has always been more authentic and has consistently platformed his views.

I will remind people of this boondoggle at every opportunity, forever. Biden and Harris bungled this so hard that it’s difficult to not see it as willful action from “professional politicians.”

Well that’s just unhygienic on two counts

Let the cat flow through you

Let’s not forget the network of churches fomenting regressive lessons, for decades.

I would say just less likely

The beginning and end of Leadership is accountability. The Dems refuse to accept their part in this loss.

The President and Vice President have zero outward indications that this is personally painful to them, at all. If anything, they seem relieved to be passing the potato. If they are so out of touch, or so insulated from the pernicious outcomes of their doleful stewardship of this country, then WHY should voters place their trust in that party again, considering it’s been helmed and staffed by the same obstinate members for decades?

I don’t see Leadership, I see a kind of craven capitulation, at a time when America most needs its leaders to have fire in their bellies, and compassion in their eyes.

100%

I made some comments earlier about how Trump will soon have Powell turning tricks in a back alley. Nevertheless, it has been Powell’s hand on the tiller, and ultimately the responsibility for the work is his purview.

I was just making a joke, but you’re right- it’s a learned coping mechanism from iteration after iteration of excruciating relationships.

I find most people are deeply selfish and lacking in awareness, and generally unobservant to the physical and metaphorical world around us. Eventually, it’s simply easier to withdraw and try to be content with online human interaction, and real life experiences with my family and my dog. Community comes with too many strings and demands that I present as someone not myself- at least in all such attempts to-date. When I was younger and it felt more necessary to participate, I dulled society with booze and weed. Now I prefer to see clearly, though perhaps still missing the clarity that others innately possess, in social scenarios.

So you’re saying I should make friends with people who also intensely dislike people?

The fuck it was. That inflation was already brewing in the wings; Covid just hypercharged it.

This falls on the Fed for their inane 14 YEARS of open purse monetary policy, despite the economy requiring no stimulus. They (Fed again) finally threw the brakes when it was impossible to avert disaster.

Meanwhile, Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen happily spent their public appearances gaslighting the country that inflation was “transitory,” while the average American faced 40-YEAR inflation, on the backs of ongoing stagnant wages and a Federal minimum wage that hasn’t increased since 2009.

It was absolutely not Covid; it was willfully bungled monetary policy from a hack Wall St lawyer, non-economist.

This is not too far off from the reality in CA where voters essentially mandated prisoners to be used as wild-fire fighting fodder.

“I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together we’ve changed America for the better. Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term. Let’s make every day count.”

Jesus fucking Christmas. Nothing will penetrate his perfect shield of fantasy.

I think the term you’re looking for is “controlled opposition.”

Bitch betta have my glucose!

I think perhaps you don’t know your fellow Christians as well as you think. These types have been Christianity since the 80s.
