I’m still processing.

I’m definitely not giving up. I’ve thought about just being more blunt with people. But I’m naturally an empathetic person. So I’ll probably still listen to people and try to understand. Some people are just freaking ignorant though. And it’s frustrating to see people who disagree with everything Trump stands for still vote for him because they don’t like Democratic vibes.

The left is judged based on their absolute worst (and often just a strawman of the left) while the right is judged based on their best (or a vague sense of what the right represents to them).

There was major backlash to black people saying that their lives matter.

Sometimes it’s just intelligence. They’re very proud of their ignorance and hate.

Anything that makes “white kids” uncomfortable or “guilty” is being banned which 100% includes the mention of slavery.

Or maybe parents shouldn’t tie their identity to traitorous states that murdered Americans so rich people could own black people.

I think he’s testing loyalty in the party. I think he wants exactly who he has chosen.

Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.

Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

I just started watching Scrubs and it’s phenomenal. Terrible for binging though because most episodes have some kind of emotional gut punch storyline.

We shouldn’t have normalized letting traitors run for office. But SCOTUS deemed the constitution “unenforceable”.

We need to normalize the constitution. But people acted like the 14th amendment was “novel” and now there’s precedence.

Would things be different if the media reported on how the administration avoided the global recession or about how we exceeded every other first world country? Maybe.

Should they have explained WHY prices were high? Obviously, but then they would sound like they’re defending the administration. That’s why they never explain the WHY for anything.

It sucks, but our media favors Republicans. That’s the playing field.

Bonus rankings! This one is more straightforward. Teams get points for wins. They get more points for beating good teams and fewer points for beating bad teams. (+32 for beating the best team, +1 for beating the worst). Teams lose points for losses. They lose more points for losing to bad teams and fewer points for losing to good teams. (-32 for losing to the worst team, -1 for losing to the best). The point total was reset with the first game of the season.

Wow, Arkansas can still make the conference championship game. Technically.

I guess I can stop supporting them altogether. It’s been a novelty for quite awhile now anyways.

It’s a terrible position to be in to argue that you are the right person to continue making things better. You have to argue that you’ve done a good job while also acknowledging that more needs to be done.

Not for me. I have a job and kids and there are other games I want to play. A game needs to be manageable.

There can be fluff to skip or it can be open world where I don’t care if I don’t finish it. But the longer the game is, the more likely I am to just not pick it up.

Just a note on mail ballots. Some can often abuse it by coercing their spouses to vote a particular way.

Terrible argument for what?

Avoiding a recession was a good thing. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still problems. Sorry if you’d be happier with a job market crash or a housing market crash. But that would be even worse for people.

The economy being strong was only ever a commentary on the foundation. The economy is stable and people are still struggling, which is what Biden has said.

They should have been screaming about it four years ago. Biden chose to take the high road and not talk about the previous administration.

Because people want to be angry, they want their feelings justified, and there’s no actual evidence for what the other person claimed.
