Serious question: who do you think we should vote for?

Or do you think we should not vote? Help us understand what we should do next Tuesday.

I've said all sorts of nonsense upthread that nobody liked, so I won't belabor that any further. Also, I live in a reliably Blue State, so my input is mostly irrelevant. I just get a little sick when hear this kind of lowly pandering for certified baby killers from our beacons of liberal thought.

Penningtron must have like three users he actually sees on this forum.

I've yet to read one of your posts that proposes a viable solution. If we've met in person or are connected elsewhere, please reach out for a rational discussion--maybe you can enlighten me here as to how you feel we should be voting, particularly for those of us who vote in primaries, work the polls, deal with people much much much less fortunate than ourselves daily, etc.

I had a trans student tell me they're afraid to leave their room recently. "These trumpers are going to murder me and they'll get away with it."

I'm all ears here, pal.

Barring that, I no longer need to see our word on this forum.

This despite all of the anti-environment stuff that he's said and done for years.

I'm a little more pessimistic about which way MI will go.

that was my major takeaway from the Joe Rogan interview. He gave trump every opportunity to pay lip service to environmental concerns and he went completely opposite. He couldn’t even appreciate RFK without reassuring big business that he’ll have no influence in any environmental decisions.
I imagine EVs will get similar arms length treatment.

By all means point me to my quote that says Russia is being invaded.

The thought of Rogan and Trump bloviating for three hours is repugnant.

Okay, but your original post mentioned racist and included a bunch of racial demographics. Still don’t know what that has to do with trans rights.

It was Definitely a chore. I do it for the people.

I signed up for this forum many moons ago because it included a fairly audacious group of clever people that shared some of my interests but also brought differing perspectives and ideas that they didn't mind being challenged....sometimes quite vociferously and usually humorously.

I'm sure it's my fault for thinking that such a thing could persist, and I probably should be paying better attention to the plummeting membership, but I intentionally participate here, among the fringe, rather than any larger audience/social media, because I know I can't convince anybody of anything, but still enjoy being a blowhard, and find it works as a simple therapy for venting my frustrations.

So you'll have to excuse me that a "Politics" thread on this forum can no longer sustain a sarcastic shit-take of politicians talking obvious shite.

I don't wish to engage you in any meaningful personal dialogue. I have nothing valuable on offer in terms of solutions. At the same time I salute you for making a difference to those that you engage with personally, but please allow that us less charitable people also like to run our mouths on occasion.

Just consider me a slightly less faltering Joe Biden, and without all the genocide stuff.

sheepdog sanders right on cue
