The top comment is calling this post left splitting, and implying that this type criticism is dangerous/nefarious.
And that’s the comment I was responding to.

What are you talking about?
The Democrats ran the centrist (again), and vote blue no matter who was the mantra everywhere I looked.
The voters that didn’t fail Kamala.
The voters didn’t fail the Democratic party.
Kamla and the Democratic party failed the voters.
Vote blue no matter who?
I’m old enough to have seen that tried many times now, and look where we’re at.
I think it’s time for something different, and we can start by not championing centrists, or attacking/shaming people on the left who do criticize them.
To the Democratic party, big tent politics means right-wing politics, and if you don’t know that by now, I’m not sure what to tell you.
Allowing criticism from the left and recognizing that American centrists are right-wingers by another name, no matter their party affiliation.
Because big tent politics and capitulating to centrist/right-wing Democrats has worked out so well for us.


I remember when former GOP Senate Majority Leader, and heart surgeon, Bill Frist went on Bill Maher sometime around the late 2000s, or early 2010s, and they were discussing vaccines.
Bill Maher, being the shithead that he is, was voicing his vaccine skepticism even then.
Bill Frist, whom I’m loathe to give praise to, turned away from Maher, looked directly in the camera and said that vaccines were safe and encouraged everyone to get vaccinated.


Nice try government, but this free thinker isn’t fooled so easily.


Epstein targeted swaggerless losers with lots of money and/or power.
You can say a lot of bad things about Gavin Newsom, and I encourage you to, he’s a soulless leech funded by private equity, but the man has game.
You would be hard-pressed to find a cougar or MILF in the California political scene that he hasn’t run through.
I’m not saying he never fucked underage girls, because I don’t know that, I just know that he wouldn’t of needed Epstein’s help to do so.


Foraging for mushrooms is one of those activities where the risks far outweigh the rewards, at least to me.


And I used to pay them money for it, but cancelled as soon as they rolled out ads into my existing plan.
If they had introduced ads into a cheaper tier, I would have bitched and moaned, but still kept paying for Prime.
Instead, Amazon gets no money from me, and I still get their content, ad-free.


It probably good for kids.
But I would take Peacock or Paramount Plus over Disney+, and they’re both pretty shit.
Starz is the only streaming service I’ve used that was worse than Disney+.


Ugh. this insufferable asshole couldn’t word his way out of a wet paper sack
Maybe not, but he could write his way out of one.


He was paid a significant amount of money by entities with a vested interest in replacing actors with AI.
They’re trying to normalize this, and needed some big names to help get people used to this slop replacing real actors.
I will never watch another one of his projects again, and I hope others do the same.


I used to purchase several Pi’s each time they released a new model and probably have a dozen in total.
But I haven’t purchased any since they told all of their hobbyist and retail user base to go fuck themselves during the chip shortages, and have no intention of purchasing any of their products ever again.


lol no
The Pi Foundation’s mission died when it was reborn as a for-profit organization, and that was years ago.


You generally have a fixed amount of paid sick days per year. Those are what’s being transferred.


It’s where they make you beg your coworkers for their own sick leave to be transferred to you, or have HR send out an email blast begging employees to donate their own meager PTO to you, instead of the employer granting an appropriate amount of sick or maternity leave to begin with.
Assuming you’re sleeping there, where are the shelters for the sled dogs?
Those temps are probably fine to run them in, but are too cold for sleeping outside unsheltered…
Best I can do is offer you a choice between a candidate who’s a devout Zionist, but a Democrat, and a candidate who’s actually anti-semitic, but is being blackmailed by Israel, so their policies are even more Zionist.
