Republicans are just butthurt that Hulk and Kid aren't carrying it for them

Sadly, encouraging people to vote goes against the Republican platform, because a higher voter turnout would absolutely demolish them.

Like it or not, elections are a popularity contest, and having Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark showing support for Harris is a good thing.

Even if you don't know who they are, they're big names who will turn out voters.

And if you think having a platform disqualifies you from weighing in on politics, then tell that to Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan lol.

He's pandering to his right wing sycophants and pushing the boundaries of free speech on his platform so that when he inevitably faces consequences, he can immediately play the victim and say "see, I told you this is what the left would do!"

Normally I'd say don't give him the attention, but he's a Nazi sympathizer, and those motherfuckers deserve condemnation.

Exploitation of labor is a huge problem in many industries, but the amount of desensitizing horror and PTSD that occurs in slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants is on a whole different level.

The one saving grace for me this election cycle is watching the Republicans panic over some dumb shit the guy they nominated says. You let this raccoon inside, don't be surprised about all the garbage everywhere.

They don't give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it's a complete waste to even contact them over "petty theft", regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.

When I was in college, my apartment got broken into. The cop that came when I called was less than helpful. Some highlights:

  • He immediately argued with me that the crowbar marks on the door frame must have been there before.
  • I told him about the TV that was stolen and he bragged that he had two TVs that were larger than that.
  • He tried to bust me for weed when he saw my hookah. I had to explain to him that it was in fact not a bong and was only used for tobacco.
  • He mentioned that if it were him robbing me, he would have stolen the microwave instead.
  • As he was leaving, he told me that they wouldn't be able to catch whoever did it, so they weren't going to look.

Wow that actually looks really cool. Now, how much do I owe you?

This take will probably be unpopular, but FWIW I agree with you. I rarely use the community feature and I don't care about the trading so personally I would like it if they just stuck with what they do well.
