What would the world have looked like if Bernie was the candidate against Donald…? 😕

I think there’s truth to this. The Democratic party has to engage with people in good faith and learn what it’s important for them and why they voted the way they did.

Yes, it’s true that this election was about democracy vs fascism, but the election result tells us that it’s possible to see the election from other angles where it’s about other things. I think the Democratic party has to view the election from those angles, see what those things are, and take that to heart.

Absolutely. And nobody seems able to stop the trend. We’re in dire need of some good thinking right now.

When the initial disbelief wears off a little it becomes more clear that the democrats are not a very good alternative for people. If they were they should have won this by a landslide. Their current path seems like a dead end and they need some new thoughts.

Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta — ruling after Musk’s lawyers said the winners are paid spokespeople and not chosen by chance — did not immediately explain his reasoning.

“The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,” Gober said Monday. “We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”

Chris Young, the director and treasurer of America PAC, testified that the recipients are vetted ahead of time, to “feel out their personality, (and) make sure they were someone whose values aligned” with the group.

A scam, in other words.

I’m afraid I can’t remind you of that, because they are.

It’s a good thing then that Donald and his cronies handled the last pandemic so well /s

It is surreal, in a bad way, to watch as the US might actually vote to put itself in mortal danger.

 

Phony Stark needs to be called out on this. It’s creepy as hell.
