    I have straight up written in viable candidates in previous, and current local, elections. I have helped friends and family start campaigns for local seats that had ran unopposed.

    This one is different at the presidential level. If you can't see that you have too much privilege to think you can take what will come out of it. Women, minorities, handicap, Trans and gay folk will lose what human rights we are hanging onto while we wait for straight white men to fight it out and give it back again.

    Not everyone is physically capable of going into a civil war and fighting for their rights in the streets.

    I see a lot of shit talk all over this site but no actionable change showing up in the real world. All this resistance talk is starting to get real old and really sounding more and more like utter bullshit the more it's all over every political post that's made, but no viable plan laid out on what's being done and what steps to take.

    So, vote them out. Push for your local areas reform and campaign for a 3rd party replacement that do what the people want.

    A maggat republican will go the step further and make a law against it to be brought up for future elections if they think it will ensure their grip.

    I really don't care what party affiliation a representative wants to have. The problem is that too many are easy to figure out they only care about money when they choose to go under our current pairing. We should always look at a candidates stance on issues, the follow through they've had in their past positions, and that they are representing the people's wishes.

    Uh, duh? So start replacing them at the base levels and change our foundation? I didn't say to keep voting for them locally?

    Do what work? What's the plan?? Are you running for local government where you are?

    ALL CAREER POLITICIANS ARE "GENOCIDERS" from what I have seen so far in my life on this planet. This is why normally I will not vote for a major 2 party candidate. I want to be able to vote again in the future, so I'm willing to do my best to try and make that happen.

    What are you actually saying and doing? No where have i found a coherent cohesive plan for us citizens to unite and change this major issue. What's our truly viable recourse here?

    Please explain like I am 5.

    Hell yeah!

    I never had kids, never wanted kids. Have always pushed for education. As a stoner, was crazy excited about talk of legalization and taxes going to schools when the idea was first floated around by us. Happily. Hell yes.

    And since enough dumbasses are actually putting forward enough effort to show there is a frighteningly high backing for a candidate that will prevent any presidential voting in the future, I'm gonna have to break my record and vote for one of the major 2 parties for this election.

    One of these 2 WILL WIN THE US ELECTION. There is no pretending that, this close to polling date, that there is any other outcome.

    We need to start locally and push harder for reforms from there up. Only one of the 2 party systems will allow this in our future at the moment. This is just the sad and horrible truth we face at the moment.

    If we really think the system has failed us and will not let us break free of the 2 party bullshit, well, then we need to be better educated and better organized. We have internet and advanced messaging technology. Our past is riddled with those who made amazing changes and voiced mass public opinion with way less.

    Knowledge is power. Protect and enhance the education to really power change.

    It's in Tempe, which is a college town and usually a lot more "variety of ideas friendly" area. It's a big ass state, not gone down the rabbit hole of how gerrymandered we might be, but I'm listed in a town by address that is nowhere near where my "local" library, grocery, etc which is another town.

    There is a lot of wild west expanse and geriatric retirement that keeps a red hold, Tempe isn't far from Phoenix downtown where I went to a fucking awesome Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Linda Linda's concert last week. I was quite impressed at the the number of both old and young punks that showed up and packed the place! Openly anti trump remarks through the show... not too many left early even, despite the traffic... hmmm...

    And, this shit was done overnight, who the hell did they think they might get, janitorial staff? Random underpaid security guard? What fucking dickbags man. Random violence is bad, putting people just doing their jobs, regardless of political affiliation, is just really poor form.

    I saw the negativity points to your remark, which should generally be "well yeah... it's the wild red west?!" Thought some of this may shed a light on that response?

    (And, wanted to squeeze in that my old ass stayed up for a whole Green Day show, on a school night!)

    Edit: btw, I live in bfe, no way in hell am I putting on a bumper sticker or a sign in my yard. Out of town, there's lots of crazies with guns. Edit, edit: fixed a, guess half of a sentence got typed... elsewhere?

  • JD Vance mercilessly mocked over his Springfield, Ohio, ‘challenge’

    I lived there for almost a decade, about a decade and a half ago. It was so run down and dying then. People wouldn't come see us there that we had known all our lives because it was so dangerous. Pizza places wouldn't deliver down our street, we would have to walk to the main corner to get delivery. We paid a crack head to watch our house while we were away for a weekend.

    I was in disbelief back when I heard about the factories deciding to build there after we had up and left... finally, after barely scraping enough together from living and working there. I wondered how they would fare but didn't follow up on it then.

    I researched and verified everything you said above, and informed some other family on Fb, that was trying to stir the shit. They would hear none of it.

    I never realized they were a breed till we got one. He's so different than his "brothers and sisters" -no realtions, but we got 5 currently. Started looking up his description to see if others had anything similar, like the orange one brain cell boys or something. Found out i had a Nebelung.

    Not sure if this was a lead into a joke or honest question, Im slow to some nuance when its just in text. Looks like "Coexist". Probably making fun of the similar decals spelled with religious symbols.

    This is really awesome! I saw your post the other day about it and thought it was a great idea. You work quick! I already found a new community I would not have thought to look for otherwise.

    It is hard for me to see and manipulate on mobile, but that's totally on me. So I'll be back in a bit. I'm sure someone smarter than me may have more helpful input than that if you are looking for feedback!

    So I thought I was gonna head to bed, but... guess I can stay up and peruse for a little while...

    Thank you!!

    I like Sleep as Android. I have had it for so many years though, I apologize that I cannot remember if it is part of the premium upgrade. Has tons of custom sleep and wake settings.

    I am a light sleeper and really like that I can set it to just vibrate for a time. If that didn't wake me up it will start a random song and increase in volume.

    I have tried all the android available apps now I think. All of them have problems with this instance it seems. Some error while trying to respond or upvote, others won't load content newer than days old or won't sign me in and shows as anonymous. I have different account on another instance, have tried the same actions and steps in each app and this doesn't occur at all with that one. Anyone experience any of this or have any ideas?
