I don’t know what to say here.
Blaming voters instead of the candidates isn’t going to get people on your side. It alienates people and makes you look like a self-righteous asshole.

Yup, we need the right people. I naively thought it was destroy the maga movement and then reform the democrats. But the current dems are unequipped and many are simply uninterested in doing so.

Totally! I strongly value science and math. I admittedly flamed out with differential equations and organic chemistry but am glad I took all those math and science classes as I at least have the ability to follow along when I listen to experts talk. Squeaked out a quantitative science minor too.

Meant to say valuable instead of important again but it’s okay haha

What point are you trying to make? I don’t have a problem with STEM. I just hate that we have consistently downplayed the importance of humanities and see them as important too.

And they whined and complained about those classes the whole time! I went to school with them. When they found things difficult they just called it stupid and irrelevant.

Yup. Sometimes putting it after the quotation provides more clarity.

Even when progressive tax revenue gets passed by the voters, leadership beholden to donors do everything to create barriers and hurdles. (see Amazon/head tax from 2018 as prime example)

It’s pretty easy to explain. Seattle is socially liberal but has been economically very moderate. It’s a place where the culture is leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone. Throw in the influence Microsoft, Amazon, and Boeing have you can see how it transforms into “leave my money alone.”

Wrong. Dem Leadership is totally to blame and letting them off the hook will only allow terrible things to continue to happen.

Sen. Murphy - these are nice words but we need action and that starts with ousting Schumer as leader. This must be your first step or Democrats will continue to lose as your weaknesses will continue to be exposed.

Absolutely. We have deprioritized other areas of education to our own peril and we are seeing the fallout from that. We need historians, philosophers, and so many other disciplines more than ever. We need people to be able to think holistically and critically with high level of creativity.

It won’t happen, im just frustrated and am responding emotionally.
But our states should put it all in escrow if they continue to harm our communities with ice and not giving us the funds that are already allocated.

I’m on the west coast too. We need to stop paying federal income taxes and use it to fund our own programs. We subsidize the rest of the country with no real benefit to show for it.

To win the elections last week. It’s a party full of politicians that only care about their careers and their strategy is that we all hate Trump so much that they don’t have to do anything to oppose them other than performative bs like this shutdown turned into.

Intentional white washing of Bush involves using his running mate and cabinet as scapegoats.
November 4, 2025 at 2:05 PM
Totally. Stephen Miller and Russell Vought already teed up to run cover for Trump’s legacy.

This man is not religious. He’s a disingenuous ass kisser that will do whatever it takes to gain power. Vance is a weak and insecure person. He’s an embarrassment to the VP position and it doesn’t get talked about enough because everything else is so shitty.

The DNC not embracing Sanders led to Trump and deep fissures among the base. He would have won and no amount of liberal coping will convince me otherwise.

They take my shit for free though, so I like that.
