Mostly post politics, because politics affects everything in life, but occasional movies/shows/space/animal videos, too. Democratic socialist, very left leaning in my views. Let's vote in progressives everywhere.

It might also just mean that is the data they have on Biden's entire presidency as of this October. I know it takes time to compile all those stats in finalized numbers.

But still, those 16 million jobs look great. I know home ownership was the big thing Kamala wanted to tackle, and I like to believe she would have done her best to drive that 37% rise in home prices down.

I'll always think his foreign policy was a very mixed bag, I liked him supporting Ukraine but wished he had done more, and I reviled his support of Israel when it became apparent they would use Oct 7 as an excuse to genocide Gaza.

And I think companies artificially keeping prices high once COVID

So stupid and avoidable.

world feels increasingly dicey. I try not to dwell on what I cannot control, but of course I'm human, so I do.

I *am* perpetually annoyed at how all of it is self inflicted. The idiot MAGA at my job that voted for this, the idiot MAGA at the girlfriend's job that voted for this. The same ones who

Last year, and the preceding 3 years before it, we never had to worry about business being interrupted at my job. It simply wasn't a worry.

Ditto at the girlfriend's job. Now both of our jobs constantly talk about cutbacks, going lean, meetings and tours canceled because of the shutdown, and our

You're prob not wrong. Sigh.

I really don't understand what they're hesitant about with him. Because he's a socialist? People love social programs and defend them fiercely.

I love jumping spiders, they are beautiful with their colors and they always look like they're desperately trying to tell us something.

If he had the entire party's support the moment he was leading in the primary to now, next month would be an easy landslide for him. Instead it'll be far closer than it should be, because Dem leadership sucks ass at messaging.

Dumbasses should have endorsed him months ago. Wholeheartedly. People want what Mamdani is selling.

Wondering what the post Trump, post MAGA America will look like. As they trash long treasured institutions like the CDC, and drive away the brains in many industries to other countries, and restructure what power looks like, what will we be left with? A diseased, weakened, dumber society.
