Yep. The market is a lot like politics that way.

You might not take an interest in markets, but markets take an interest in YOU.

I keep saying that but a lot of people that just like to be contrarians (I guess?) keep saying that the economy was not really good at all.

I sometimes wonder if this time is a bit different, but we'll see. I don't know what qualifies as a safe harbor if donvict's wrecking crew end up destroying the entire fabric of why people invest in the U.S.

Meaning, the dotcom bubble, the early 90s recession, the 08 real estate bubble, the gigantic V that was early covid....those all still had a government that was looking to sustain most or all of our institutions.

Donvict and his crazy Project 2025/fElon dogebags are running around and ripping out the very infrastructure...

Well then.

Uh, progressives did vote third party, claiming that donvict would be no worse, possibly better. That's no lie. So yes, it was Republicans AND lots of "independents" and even progressives that said so. I watched them do it.

Also, playing the No True Scotsman with progressives....hilarious. You are not the arbiter of who is and who is not a progressive, although I know you'd like to call everyone you disagree with a "centrist". Have fun with that. If we play the purity game enough, virtually everyone can be declared a "centrist", but that's not very constructive is it?

Two choices. That's all we had realistically.

Is this the guy that's on Grindr?

Again, the only two choices were: donvict or Kamala. That's it. Nothing else. Best option was to vote Democratic all down the ticket then do everything possible to lean on Democrats to stop supporting Israel.

Keeping your civil rights without opposing genocide was a losing proposition

Exactly WHO was proposing that?

Probably applies to most of the private sector, too. A startup company only dealing with "social media" can afford to have failure, at least in the early days...but adults doing adult things where "breaking things" has real consequences, including lives....not so much.

But a whole lot of ding-a-lings think government should be run like a business, and if the stupid notion of "moving fast and breaking things" has infected a lot of the private sector, it's going to have knock-on effects when people try to apply the notion that the President should be just like a CEO at a large multinational corporation. A lot of stupid ideas originate with trying to run government like a business and/or like a household budget.

This guy is such a goddamn narcissist. Maybe they should have kept that dumb game show of his on the air, no matter what the ratings might have been (I never watched a full episode since I always knew the guy for being an insufferable asshole).

That's assuming donvict doesn't flip-flop. He already did this once.

I think he and his broligarchs should get investigated for market manipulation if he's only doing this so they can buy the dip. Oh, oops, lol, that sort of thing doesn't apply to the likes of fElon and donvict.

Um, lots of people said that, including donvict himself.

And when did I say Democrats shouldn't listen to progressives like me?
