They will though, because they don’t want to give up control and power as well as all the money that gives them.

They would have to be aware enough to understand that they are not going in an appropriate direction, which would allow them to adjust their strategy to better align themselves with the voter base. That would invalidate the need for a third party, but compromise they idiology they have adopted fervently that has lead to failure at the polls.

NZ is not the US. They do not operate the same and are not capable in America’s “democratic” system.

Are you saying that rape is an acceptable?

The decline started in COVID, no recent changes will have any value when kids learn more from tiktok myths and memes.

No they don’t. Take away the dye and there will no change in market demand for dum dums. Banks and cheap people will still buy them for the complementary candy bowl and Halloween respectively and kids will not care; because flavor and sugar.

Naw, I am talking to such a degree that I drool more and I laugh at my toes every time I see them.

Public education has been terrible for as long as it has existed. American schools are a joke to the developed world.

Good, save the bees.

Dumb dumb. The colors don’t matter, they go in your mouth and the wrapper tells you the flavor. They could remove all the dye and it would mean nothing of value.

I would need severe head trauma to watch any of that.

He is a news aggregate with a fake leftist filter and is totally audience captured.

His audience are tankies who justify the actions of Hamas and dismiss any wrongdoing. To paraphrase “I don’t care if rapes happened (on October 7th), it doesn’t change the situation for me at all.”

He lives in a multi-million dollar mansion, wears designer clothes, drives a Porsche, and complains about capitalism.

The goalpost was always win the elections. It hasn’t moved since 2000, Dems just keep trying to redefine how far the endzone is while they field the B team that the franchise owners like instead of solid players the fans want to see.

If the Dems would have had a proper primary and campaigned on defined goals instead of nebulous feelings and orange man bad, they could have won.

The weak and poorly defined platform cost them 6 swing states. They pissed off the Amish and the Arabs, which really hurt them in Pennsylvania and Michigan. They didn’t campaign for the Latino voters very well, which should have been a slam dunk given the deportation platform Trump had, which impacted the swing states considerably.

The Dems need to seriously rethink their strategy for 2028 or they are going to lose again. 2026 at this point is looking shaky in both directions, so the Dems need to get their shit together immediately if they are going to stop Rep issues progressing into a 2028 victory.

She is too left and will disrupt their boat, and by boat I mean capital gains and passive income.

No, she won’t. She will take with her a third of the party while the rest don’t want Republicans to win and then the Republicans win.

The two party system is so entrenched that voting 3rd party is a vote for the other guy that is bad. You wouldn’t want to vote for the bad guy, so vote for our good guy instead of throwing away your vote on the 3rd party.

The parties do, not the people.

We absolutely need to go after FFLs that allow for guns to make it to the streets.

The biggest cause of firearms deaths is suicide, that can’t be addressed by going after guns. You have to address all the other bigger problems. Doing so will also address suicide, mental health, economic prospects, and other causes of drug overdoses, crimes including murder, alcoholism, etc.

You can’t address gun violence by going after guns, you need to go after the actual problems and not the symptom.

A lot of schools have exterior walls that are concrete filled in the US, especially true in tornado and hurricane areas. Interior, I think they went to concrete filled for most of them but you would have to check building codes when the structure was made.

A hollow core cinder block wall should be adequate protection from a grenade.

They are such a convenience in edge cases that 99% people don’t need them, but they can end up being one of those things where you find a lot of nails to hammer.
