She's Right!

[kadee79]

Caution, bad language....

[busymom]

Absolutely, they should go f__k themselves.  The GOP has shown us who they are.  They are willing to cheat to win elections, allow US citizens to die of Covid, and have no problem with 1/2 of the population dying of pregnancy complications, because they think government should control all aspects of what they consider "birth control", with no medical interventions for any logical reason.  Go f__k yourselves, indeed...  

[djAdvocate]

yeah.  she is right.  about all of that.
we can't just take the Democratic swill, either.
we have to frame this for what it is.
this is the end of liberal Democracy for the US if we don't fight back.

Yes, she’s right. 

I’ll fight with my vote, and even peaceful protests. But putting myself in the line of fire to try to save this country, nah I’m not gon do that.

I am reminded of Muhammad Ali, who said (paraphrasing) that he wasn’t going to fight some folks that had never done anything to him, for some folks that wouldn’t even stand up and fight for him in his own country.

I think some of you better talk to blue collar workers who vote democratic on a regulae basis.
Inflation and education of their children are the hot topics for them. They are not voting democrat this year.

and telling russian warships to go fuck themself.........yeh, like that makes a huge difference

regretfully, I think you are right, but I think they are not using their brains.  One of my SIL's was talking about people getting hepatitis from Covid-19 vaccines.  I just thought if anyone got Hepatitis from a vaccine that would be statistically insignificant, but I did not think she would listen so I did not even try to go there.  She ought to be concerned about other things, but you can't fix stupid.

then they are not voting.  because there is no way that the GOP will help them with either of those issues.

if you think otherwise, please tell me why.

oh, and if you can tell me if Biden is responsible for Spanish inflation, i would also appreciate that.

It doesn't matter if either party will actually help them. It only matters what people think. Worldwide inflation? Vote out whoever is in office - they must be responsible. And, the non-ruling party is telling them it is the D's fault. If the GOP is lucky, the cycle will release when they take office, but they don't have any real solutions either.

What happens in your little area of the country is not what happens in the country as a whole.  Ind. & Fl. do not represent the entire US.

not blaming you for a second, thyme, but i can't take any more irrational nihilism.

this past election, the midterms, and the one after it will show whether we are worthy of democracy or not.  i am beginning to think we are not.  but i can't talk that way or act that way.  not now, at least.

Are you this niave? I think not.
People vote assholes out of office based on their pocketbooks. They hope the other party will do right by them, but they know the party in power screwed them.
Spanish inflation. You keep bringing this up. For years some of the weaker European/Mediteranean countries had higher inflation rates than we had. I believe Spain might have been one of them at the time. Italy and Greece definitely had high inflation  numbers while we did not. It is not always every country has the high inflation numbers, but it is true when countries have piss poor political parties controlling the governments in power.

So, ell me. You use to live in Illinois and now Georgia. Yur neighbors and your family never voted based on the poor quality of their pocket book. This is human nature and a documented fact. I will grant you in the high density urban areas some might stay with the one party year after year. Now inflation is so bad it is hurting them as hard as the middle class across the country.
I am welling to say young women trying to find formula today as well as the price of everything are questioning the party in power right now.

Spanish inflation is basically IDENTICAL to the US.  
there are quite a few countries that are, actually.
the AVERAGE for the OECD is 8.8% compared to Bidenflation of 8.9% for the YE March.

so, you are saying that it is just a marvelous coincidence that the US has the same inflation rate as the THIRTY EIGHT members of the OECD?

that is a lot of coincidence, VB.

so, let me rephrase the question:

IS BIDEN RESPONSIBLE FOR INFLATION IN THE OECD?

please just answer the question.  it is a yes or no.

i am willing to say that anyone blaming Biden for the failure of a US corporation is dumber than dogshit.  but i understand your position: if you are hurting, you blame the party in power.  i get it.  don't think i am deaf.  but i think it is absolute nonsense, and leads inexorably to something far worse than inflation and a lack of baby formula.

I live in a blue corner of a red state. This little corner of the state tends to favor Democrats. I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Democrats are the ones that dare to visit the urban communities and talk to the people living there. Of course, they are just pandering for votes, but they get points for just showing up, talking to the people, and listening to their concerns.

I hear frustration about inflation and other things, but most of the people talking about that and politics, feel like President Biden walked into a shitshow left by Donald Trump and are willing to give Biden a chance to try to make things right.

I often say that most people are stupid, but around here, people aren’t stupid enough to think that Republicans in this day and age mean them any good. Democrats might not be much better, but I’ve not seen many Democrats being complete assholes when it comes to racism, misogyny, homophobia, and all the other -isms and whatever that people should just mind their own business on, instead of worrying about what the next person that’s just trying to live their life is doing, like so many Republicans have done over the last few years. 

I always thought Republicans were for smaller government, but lately they seem to be trying to force more laws governing me as a woman, and overly concerned about consenting adults having sex and relationships with other consenting adults. They seem to be more interested in my personal life, than all the shit they really need to be concerned about if they’re really trying to do what’s best for this country.

Just mind your own fucking business IRT to people’s love lives and me and my body, and take care of the real issues plaguing this country. Parents are out here scrambling trying to find formula to feed their babies, do something about THAT and leave me the fuck alone if I want to marry a woman instead of a man and leave me the fuck alone if I find myself pregnant with a baby by someone who raped me, is violent toward me, or a baby I’m just not capable of loving and/or providing for.

We’re still trying to get folks to stop killing brown and black people just because they are brown or black. Talk about THAT! We still have veterans that got all fucked up because of what they saw in war, fighting for this country and now they’re homeless and/or crazy. Let’s talk about THEM and what we can do to help them. Let’s talk about the single parents that are struggling, but trying to raise their children to be productive citizens in this society. How can we help those parents? Let’s have a real conversation about health care in this country, and how it’s all fucked up. And if you want to talk shit about the ACA, be prepared to offer some better ideas for ALL Americans to be able to get affordable health care. Shiiiiiit, let’s talk about guns too. I am glad I have the right to bear arms, but somehow I don’t think what’s going on in this country today is what those folks imagined when they decided to have the laws of this land give us that right. That cat is so far out of the bag now, that I don’t even know what we can do about it at this point. But I believe our elected leaders should be concerning themselves with that and trying to figure it out. That’s the kinda shit they get paid for imo.

I could probably think of at least 10 more issues that should be WAYYYYY more important than whether I’m attracted to women or men and whether I, as a woman, have the freedom to do what is best for me, my body, and my physical and MENTAL health.

Mind the business that pays you. Politicians get paid to do what’s best for the area they serve. Fix some shit and make some shit better for your city, your state, and this country, instead of using your power and influence to try to meddle in people’s personal lives.

Who raised these people?!
