The differences are in implementation, not in goals.

Take affordable universal health care for instance. The progressive position is Medicare for All. The Liberal position is taxing and regulating health insurance companies to force them to cover everyone, and force everyone to buy health insurance.

And it’s not just retailers. I’ve seen this just about everywhere, especially in toxic workplaces.

Dr. Bronner’s comes in normal scents and works really well as long as you don’t mind it being covered with the ramblings of a madman.

My favorite is peppermint because it feels tingly.

Which is why we are doomed. The best we can come up with is awful.

The average person is too focused on getting enough money to survive to care about an uninhabitable planet

Oh god, I love that series of hearings. My favorite is when Bob Denver showed up, told Al Gore he was full of shit to his face, then bounced because he had a meeting with NASA

I’ve voted in every primary since I turned 18 in the year 2000 and this is still happening.

My ballot must be broken.

We have the government we have not because choices are being forced on us, but because our citizens keep making shitty choices. Can we not? Please?

Nope. People are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling and will continually fuck things up for stupid reasons.

My dad had that idea and he got roped into a position where he has no power and just receives complaints. He’s not running for reelection.

The solution to this is electing politicians who promise not to compromise during primary season

The person I voted for in the primary has won the general exactly once in my 26 years of voting and that person was Fetterman.

Voting strategically for the least bad candidate presented by the two major parties is the only thing that has been shown to work.

If this is the system working then the system is bullshit.

I fully expect to vote for Newsom because I hate him and that’s how politics works: I vote for someone I hate.

They’re harmless until they drop into your lap in the Ute when you lower the sun visor

She deserves to be a Great Person in Civilization alongside Grace Hopper and Carl Sagan

It’s a start.

I want to not wake up to an alarm.

I want to sip coffee on my porch while I watch woodland creatures.

I want to plow a field and drink barley water.

I want to tramp around a bog looking for wild edibles while my dog flushes game.

I want to wander in the woods after a snowfall, with the Milky Way above me and it’s so quiet I can hear the owls fly by.

I want the fireflies to be all the light I need.

I want an email to never find me.

That’s what I want for Christmas.

I mean, at least he won’t ve practicing medicine anymore

All of computing beyond programming with switches is “protecting the user from themselves.”

“Why use a language? Aren’t you able to perfectly program in binary? I’m not going to waste time building something just because you’re stupid.”

I hear this all the time and it bears repeating that Independent doesn’t mean centrist, unless you lump anarchists in with the Dems.

Imagine a toilet so far from anyone that no matter what you do to it you will be the only witness.

Now don’t move there because I called it.
