I saved this for this exact reason, cause it’s damn true.

Same same, but on threads.

This is a question I ask often: “would you rather eat the rich or feed the poor?” I think it helps to simplify a lot of this mismatched progressive/leftist thought that is often clouded in policy discussion and political rhetoric.

That’s my theory - specifically because it would appeal to a demographic that could easily be swayed that were voting on vibes over policy, that just wanted something immediate that they could benefit from.

But my point is that… nobody discussed it! Like there was zero, none, zilch, talk about legalizing marijuana - even after a major candidate running for president said something about it. For it, against it, or even just using Harris’ history as AG/DA to either promote or attack…nada. Crickets. Why?

It goes the other way too. I was dumbfounded when Harris released her plan before the election to legalize marijuana federally that absolutely no one, right or far left, used it to attack her. Why was a long time popular policy topic (pro or anti) all of a sudden not being discussed?

APAB, I’m into it.

It was the worst of times. It was the worst of times.

My car was stolen in 2022, but it was found 2 weeks later. I went to pick it up from impound lot, and it was totally trashed and stripped of everything, smelled like meth, and the thief had placed, in between my Biden/Harris bumper stickers, a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker.

I had to scroll way too far on this thread to see a mention of Jim Crow

Hell, even if it was Trump 1.0 everyone would have called for him to resign.

My co worker didn’t know that Jimmy Carter died for an entire week, but she knew when Harris told a protesting heckler to stop interrupting her at a campaign event the next day. I use this story often as an example of how bad the ‘news’ silos are that we are in.

Apparently the Pentagon is now having to come up with justification for Hegseth and trumps blood lust

Same ! I shared this on Facebook in 2016 cause I was all in. It’s wild to think about everything that has happened since, jfc.
