I buy gift cards for the discounts. Usually you can get a gift card from anywhere between 3% and 20% off. Over the last 5 years, this has saved me $1000s on house renovations alone.

This may not sway them to vote Kamala, but it absolutely may sway them to abstain from voting.

I mean, think about all of those Michiganders who are staying out this year due to Gaza.

Negative press absolutely can sway voters, even this late in the game.

I mean Mark Cuban started by managing a restaurant, then starting up a TV network that did well. He’s no saint but he didn’t start with a silver spoon in his mouth.

And apparently divide by it.

As the Dark Sith Lord Mitchell McConnell once stated: “winning is the only thing that matters, winning means you have the power, winning means you get to make the rules.” (Paraphrasing)

If you want left wing policies, like Obamacare or the inflation reduction act, if you want the green new deal or Medicare for all, then the left have to be in power. Else it’s a crapshoot what we get (hey, republicans were the ones that put the D in Medicare).

It’s not that hard of a concept. Lefties will continue to do lefty things when they have the power and votes to do so.

Coincidentally, this very week, I accidentally texted my neighbor a vulgar comment about TSA patting down my balls that was meant for the Mrs.

Unsend did not work 🙄😙🤮

I got a little taste of what Truman must’ve felt like when he realized everyone got to watch his awkward years.

“He’s the world’s best crime boss.”

And from a podcast about NAFTA and Masterlock I heard the other day “trump is gangster.”

These are the people who want Trump in charge to disrupt the system and it’s fucking terrifying.

Everybody shamed Joe Manchin (and rightly so for holding up the green new deal), but that MF was one of the reasons the dems had 51.

There are so few progressive states that, if the dems are going to ever win the Senate and be able to confirm judges, they are going to have to hold space for progressive and moderate dems alike.

Now, there is some silver lining this year. There’s an independent in Nebraska who is neck and neck with the GOP incumbent there. This person is pro union but with some socially conservative values. If elected, he will likely vote sometimes with the dems and sometimes with the GOP, essentially being a spoiler for both, but probably to the great advantage of Nebraska.

I think this person should be celebrated and encouraged. We need more people who see country over party in politics.

Why use a nudge when you can have an agenda and a sledgehammer.
