This is why we’re terse.

Once upon a time, people could freely travel across borders. EU citizens still do.

I’m not. Both are horrible and not worth my consideration.

People act like they’ve zero eyes, ears and memory and ballotpedia isn’t a thing. It’s only immoral and unethical when the other person abandons their ethics and morals.

Go away and insist the dnc nominate someone less slimy.

I can’t think of a news source that isn’t corporate garbage, other than DN and a few other indies. Our news has arguably been corporate garbage since Hearst and the Spanish-American War (you can look up his infamous quote, how Pulitzer competed with his publications, etc. For decades, I was a loyal Dem voter, even suppporting Billary; I was disgusted enough after his second term to start looking hard at Kucinich, and that election cycle, the media mentioned him once or twice in a sentence or two; compare that to the platforms they gave Killary, W and other was criminals, or the recently convicted felon.

I’ve learned to be terse in political commentary, if Eve6n commenting at all because I’m sick of being called a Russian bot. I’m not even adverse to the Russian people, nor am I willing to deny genocide, but “Joe doesn’t genocide, you Russian shill” in some form or other gets damned old. Even when he’s playing in our faces, we get told begrudgingly by very few, “he genocides less than the other guy would!” Right, like he’s so different on other policies.

We do need to demand better candidates from the DNC or better, vote for other parties candidates, but only Russian or CCP shills would dare think outside the box.

TBD idk if Oz is a hired or sock puppet account or not, but refusing to question ourselves and our parties and individual candidates doesn’t make us different, from the other side, it just rearranges deck chairs on the Titanic (nation, planet). It’s late and I’m not really interested in arguing the same tired points. Just putting it out there in wild hope someone interested in hearing actually will consider it.

You know this affected a bunch of individual humans, many of whom skipped meals and other things, to buy an overpriced ticket for a moment of brightness in a life of drudgery?

Thanks for my daily giggle, op! Apples cost more than a laugh, both are good medicine.

Why not both?

just because you can do a thing didn’t mean you should do a thing.

Or something like that.

Government agencies being data brokers should also be a concerning issue.

He’s lucky AF if you ever read up on Mossad tactics.

Not enough pizza lunches, duh!

Ah okay. Maybe we’ll get a reply.

I agree with the first part, the second I consider as more belligerent, very unhealed inner child.

I’m not catching your meaning.

I’d very much like to learn and talk more with you about the original ideas of libertarianism when you’re sober. Back in the late 90s, before the American Libertarians took over the party and changed it, a friend suggested it sounded like a fit for me. I’d also like to know if any other libertarians who are in accord with the original values have an online space for discussion, and any ideas to reclaim the party mechanisms.

Don’t you go givin folks ideas, now, whippersnapper!

So you’re paying through the nose. Ouch.

The employer pays half?!
