That sounds like a threat sent by a forest. "The redwoods remember"

Oh look, it's someone expressing a sentiment related to the thing I said:
November 8, 2025 at 7:38 AM
Yes, the facts are in, and people are voting on a very singular issue, and definitely not affordability, not wanting their kids kidnapped by the government, other, more different affordability, job stability, etc. Definitely the thing you said, and only that, such that we can call that the reason.
November 6, 2025 at 10:52 PM
No, they need to have better candidates. What they passed is irrelevant to the campaign before they did that.
November 6, 2025 at 10:50 PM
I don't understand how you keep pointing out what they did in office, rather than what they said while campaigning. We are talking about campaigns and candidates. Why you don't know that the term is not "what they said on the campaign trail" is beyond me.
November 6, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Remarks by who? The president, you say? Therefore not the candidate? So this isn't campaign messaging, the thing I was talking about?
November 6, 2025 at 10:47 PM
Inflation is the tiniest part of the problem, and something during the term, not proposed during the campaign, and therefore, jot an election decider. See how this works?
November 6, 2025 at 10:47 PM
"under Biden" irrelevant. He wasn't elected for what already happened ... in the future. Election results don't work that way.
November 6, 2025 at 10:46 PM
Academic success. The thing people who can't buy a house or make rent or feed their families are singularly focused on.

I think it's important to note that the kind of person who wants a porn ban is also OK with destroying things they aren't in control of.

An interesting test would be to weigh the powder contents to confirm the stated weight, though that's probably accurate, and then divide by the number of loads, measure out that amount, and put it in the scoop. It would be interesting to see where that ends up.
November 6, 2025 at 4:20 PM
I assure you, they're not universal. Biden, Clinton, and Harris all had big "don't piss off rich donors" energy. Also, not sure the bulk of poor people who don't own insurance companies in Connecticut really care that those companies have hqs there.

Affordability specifically includes pushing for more housing supply, working on energy bills, increasing childcare options. Also, pharmacy costs, healthcare access, especially for undeserved areas. Sounds like she's got plans to do things about stuff people at the bottom care about. See what I mean?
November 6, 2025 at 6:31 AM
Spanbergers messaging was ... stand with workers, especially those being laid off right now. First things on her site: Schools, growth, affordability, workforce, affordability. Sound familiar?
November 6, 2025 at 6:28 AM
That's not how that works. I mean, strategies may legitimately shift, but to be clear, mamdani is center/center right on a more international political spectrum. Policies like "groceries not expensive" or "housing not expensive" still work in Ohio. Or they would.
November 5, 2025 at 11:03 PM
And if you're really having trouble figuring that out, compare them to mamdani. Go back and look at campaign ads, appearances, etc, and compare them. He's talking about doing things, they're being vague. He has a plan, they want you to know that they're "not trump".
November 5, 2025 at 11:01 PM
It is, though. Biden ran on "nothing will fundamentally change", and a pollen landslide just disappeared. Harris was very publicly unable to take positions on important issues, and she lost. "But they wanted this one thing" is not a defense. They're not campaigning on helping the bottom.
November 5, 2025 at 11:00 PM
I don't like them cause they're essentially an attempt by the companies involved to do the nespresso/keurig play, but for soap. I've always thought it was bullshit. The lack of control over the event due to single sizing is a loss on both sides.
November 5, 2025 at 5:46 PM
For contrast, compare to Clinton, who pretended populist issues didn't exist, and Biden and Harris who pretended all issues didn't exist. Well, to be fair, Biden said student loan stuff, but that's about it.
November 5, 2025 at 5:44 PM
Similarly, people using turn lanes to get around cars, and pass, dangerously, in the intersection. Also, people at a red light inching forward every few seconds, who then, when the light turns, are somehow unprepared for it.
November 3, 2025 at 3:38 PM
My big "thing" is that, ever since speed cameras [I don't believe in automated law enforcement but that's another topic], Chicago doesn't do traffic enforcement. As a result, I've noticed a massive jump in red light running, people using parking spaces to pass, and other bullshit.
November 3, 2025 at 3:35 PM
I swear, they'll look for any excuse other than "you need good policy that deals with the major problems". It was this group, or YouTube, or whatever! Definitely not that she actively refused to have a plan for doing anything significant on any major issue. Couldn't be that.
November 3, 2025 at 3:31 PM
Yes, but also, the democrats have no sympathy from me when they intentionally undermine what people want for money, and then wonder why they lose. They owe the people actually good candidates.
