I know a lot of terrible things are going on but it’s stuff like this that also eats at my brain. It’s so incredibly stupid, pointless and is petty the right word?

I once saw some clip of a carrot top show and he did admittedly make me laugh. I do like puns though

I don’t think Pete is the next FDR but if he becomes it and improves the lives of millions of people I wouldn’t care about his motivations. If his selfishness/ego drove him to improve America then I’m okay with that.

But like I said I doubt that will happen.

He really spends his money poorly

I could do so much with his wealth with far less harm caused

I haven’t heard anything about Gaza not online. I work blue collar and am surrounded by low information/conservative people. I can’t think of any time any of them mentioned Palestine or Gaza.

Venezuela has come up far more often. Lots of racism and at my job I’m the minority being white. I’ve heard absolute crazy shit from my coworkers mouths and sometimes have walked them through their thought process and that usually ends up with them saying “when you put it like that it sounds mean”.

I don’t think many of them actually vote though. I know personally its hard for me to make it in time to vote if I don’t request off or something.

All that to say I agree. I know my little work place isn’t representative of everyone but it’s a common thread of almost everyone we hire.

I wish she had won too. Didn’t really like her but she was miles ahead of trump. I don’t think you should be torn between the two, I think it was both. She listened to some very bad advice and believed the information she had at hand.

I’ve been overwhelmed with all the US news. This is unexpected but welcome news

I think I will enjoy this album. Thanks!

Yeah it sucks but it’s the truth. I live by Chicago and a shocking amount of people I interact with drop racist or misogynistic comments without a thought around me because I’m a white guy.

Most comments I’ve heard about AOC are either who or that she’s dumb. I’ve asked two people why she’s dumb and they couldn’t give me a solid reason.

Anyway I guess my point is anecdotally this lines up with a lot of interactions I’ve had in the last few years

Can’t be having those guards kill the new emperor. Makes sense

I wonder if the guards expected it or not
