  • I voted Obama, Hillary, Biden and Harris. And the more important midterms/downballot

    It’s a failure on the Democratic party. We know Republicans will always be controlled by the religious right, “The Economy”, and racists. I cant bring myself to expect them to be better.

    Dems knew swing voters were hesitant and instead of providing an alternative other than “less bad” they moved to the right and got outflanked by Donald on every fucking issue and anyone that wanted to vote Republican lite just voted Republican anyway.

    Every election cycle is the same.

    Dems start by virtue signaling cultural left problems, giving lip service to some “economic left” issue for a few months before completely abandoning it.

    They spend the next several years talking about how they need to win over Joe America, the pig farmer plumber-man who doesn’t want to vote for the right BUT HAS TO because woke. They throw whatever minority they have to under the bus because they are super serious Machiavellian politicians who ‘get shit done’ and then lose because they’ve offered yet another candidate that is Republican lite. For the last year I had to listen to pundits, politicians and posts waffle on about if it was trans people, Palestinians or migrants they should have abandoned harder. One of them was the secret solution that would have lead to victory.

    Or they win and deport more people than trump did his first term (Biden) or continue the same wars they got elected on bailing out of. (Obama) And giving wallstreet infinite money cheatcodes at a pivotal moment while Americans were being unhoused instead of taking the opportunity to create a new American housing program.

    They do what you are doing and blame voters, who HAVE TO VOTE IN THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFE TIME (again) or society will collapse (again).

    Harris would have been better than literal fascist, but don’t pretend it would have been by much. The deportations would have faced less resistance and would have had zero push back by the media and less public attention. No one would have cared. Kamala “do not come” Harris campaigned on building the fucking wall for fucks sake. None of these people want to address the actual issue of climate change and constant interference in Latin countries leading to political instability is what is causing the migration. The rhetoric on Gaza would have been more strongly worded letters at best with no material difference.

    The big big difference would have been in queer rights, judge appointments, fed jobs, bureaucracic institutions (that we currently need to function), and ya know not deploying troops on civilians etc. but you only have to look to Furgeson to see how civil unrest is treated under a dem. Better? in rhetoric.

    Biden only won because of the left flank of BLM causing a mass movement against Trump. Obama only won because of leftwing anti war sentiment and anti bush sentiment. Pretending Harris would be any different than any other international power at best on Gaza is stupid. Listen to her words. Recently when talking about Palestine she spent the entire interview talking about wanting to soften Biden’s rhetoric not his policies.

    Sorry for the long post I’ve just been doing door knocking for Dems since John Edwards, then John Kerry, then Obama, then Bernie, then Hillary, then Bernie and then I just couldn’t fucking do it anymore. Nothing changes with the party.








  • I think a lot of nerdy people need to just start going outside and doing stuff. Like, if you enjoy DND roll up to the local hobby store and start hanging out, even if you arent playing.

    None of this is targeted directly at you, just as good a spot as any to rant… lol

    I think more people would be surprised that the horror stories are the minority. At my local game story I go to a painting night once a month mostly to hang out and chat. There are a pretty even split of women/men.

    Point is I think this a safe spot to make friends and making friends is the only way to get into a relationship you’ll actually enjoy.

    I met my girlfriend doing Star wars rp. My friend met his girl playing magic l. All my single friends have something in common. They don’t make time for their hobbies and don’t hang out with like minded people in that space.

    Just a side note I’m not saying that everyone should go harass people at their FLGS or use it as a dating service, but rather, going out and hanging out with like minded people opens up a lot of options that aren’t on dating apps.

    I’m pretty introverted too but when people are into whatever my hyper focus is it’s much easier to open up. Go out there! Be uncomfortable! Not a cure all but it’s something.









  • They spin everything as whatever is convenient for them.

    A jewish person that supports them being attacked? Antisemitism.

    A jewish person that doesnt support them is attacked? Sounds like a dumb lib got what they deserved.

    A woman that supports them is being attacked? Misogyny.

    A woman exists in the ‘wrong’ space? thats DEI

    A man expresses emotions while disagreeing with them? What a soft emotional baby.

    A woman exists, with a valid complaint about men? What about men’s emotions and loneliness?

    What about men’s emotions and loneliness? Well i mean you just have to work out and pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

    Ive seen it all and its pretty consistent in messaging. They pretend to care about men’s issues, but don’t. They pretend that only democrats hate men, but the truth is they dont give a shit about anyone that isnt on their side already, and even then its only so far as they can control the mass messaging and manipulate people into voting against their own class.

    The constant miasma of social media messaging makes it nearly impossible to get past surface level stuff.
