aaaayyyye. But only until election day it looks like. Then we can look forward to the posts concerning the enemies within, or all about how the election was rigged.

It's a thing. Now that you know, watch for it in the wild. Usernames, tattoos, bumperstickers, t-shirts. These people like to advertise.

Yes, but in the car there is still a bag of appropriate winter clothes for emergencies.

Why do you think the supreme court kneecapped the EPA?

In posts that user has given different replies to the same comment of mine multiple times, minutes apart, seemingly unaware they were doing so. Sus to me.

Back when twitter was a thing, for my rep had a social media 'minion' army that managed propaganda accounts, multiple people per account to pretend to be voters with 'concerns' about Dems. This felt the same.

'Woke' schools adding litter boxes in bathrooms for furries.

I have relatives with master's degrees that work in education that you can not convince that cat litter bathrooms are not a thing.

This usually places undue burden on women, poor and generally anybody not a white dude.

Say you are a woman, okay you've got your certified copy of your birth certificate $10-but wait the name doesn't match because you got married.

Now you need a marriage certificate, thats another $10 and the trouble of contacting another municipal office.

Oh were you married twice? Thats tracking down another 2 municipal offices, another $10 marriage cert and now a certified judgement of divorce which will cost-ooh was your children's custody agreement a part of that? $40. Did you not remember your divorce file number from 30 years ago? It'll be an additional $5 per name per every 2 years searched.

I've seen women spend like $200 just on certified copies to get a realID driver's license. Has a chilling effect on registering, to solve a problem of voter fraud that doesn't really exist.

Progressive policies are popular. But progressives have done a shit job of turning that enthusiasm into political capital. Waiting every four years for a nationally appealing, ideologically perfect candidate to magically fall in our lap seems to be a winning strategy—for republicans. Too many would be progressives give up if they can't have the whole cake handed to them instead of rolling up some sleeves and learning how to work from scratch.
