He just doesn't have the chair yet.

Ain’t.
Our.
Problem.

:clap: yes :clap: please :clap:

That would be great!

First they save the bees and now Tumblr. Pornhub is god's company.

If he'd shut up about EVERYTHING else and just keep tweeting about the economy he'd coast to a win next year.

Gonna be funny to watch Russia spend money on Facebook for Bernie Sanders again in 2020.

Yo Mindful, guess it was baked in from birth.

I’m not even trying to be nihilistic or start **** but the more I think about the Democrats the more I realize I hate them pretty much the same as Trump

That goes for Yang too

They’re all repulsive-

I can’t really hate anyone anymore than wishing they were dead

I don’t want to torture Trump I just wish he didn’t exist. And that goes for afaik everyone who’s ever been elected to anything.

Let me ask elph

Even if Sanders is by far the best candidate and his policies would greatly improve your life don’t you still... wouldn’t it be gratifying to bring a tire iron against his cranium?

Or not?

Sure. I mean fine. Whatever he is. Don’t you hate him just for being him?

Politicians by definition are completely useless in most respects. Especially all the lifetime bureaucrats who sit in Congress and on the Senate.

I only want to vote for Yang because I hate him a lot less than the other Democrats running and he's not a doofus like Trump. He's also the only person who has extensively documented what solutions he'd actually bring to the table if elected. He doesn't flip flop like Bernie or is pushing to be some kind of non-technical centrist like Pate Buttplug or Beta O' Cuck.

Not in the least, tbh

Back in the mid 70's, Bernie said that nobody should make over $1 million a year in annual revenue. Even if you adjust that for inflation, Bernie Sanders back then would look at the Bernie Sanders of today and wonder wtf happened.

I'd probably be happier if Sanders held some other position in the next administration than as POTUS. He's just too old and out of touch to have any real understanding of how to deal with challenges that most Americans will actually be facing over the next decade or so. Especially when it comes to automation, AI and other things emerging in the private sector.

For real. I hope someone burns his Lake Champlain house down with him in it.

I’ve known people who intentionally stay below the poverty line.

I mean, I knew two really well educated capable people in Portland who did that so they wouldnt be forced to finance the war machine.

Really? The US Senate? For how ****ing long?

It’s ok to hate him. Vote for him anyway of you want. Just remember what he is.

I’ve been damn near perfectly consistent in declaring myself a piece of **** and part of the problem

Quit redirecting the conversation

Why do you love your masters?

Who cares about me? Asking me a question doesn’t answer a question

Lol **** the gulag. Just get rid of the megacorporations.

Working 70 hours a week in a sweltering kitchen isn’t any better than Ivan Denisovich had it.

Idk seems pretty honest to me. The only thing I trust the government with is things that we share a common interest in like not starting a nuclear war.

Keeping our water and air clean for future generations comes in at #2.

^ Have you had a change of heart that I missed out on, Anteater? Back in the hot and heavy days of The Trump Thread, I couldn't imagine you writing something like that.

Not really. The only reason Yang has any chance at all is because Trump became President. He's been a good shakeup to the status quo, especially after two prior elections where China attempted to interfere and nobody seemed to care.

^ That's a relief - I though for a minute I'd lost the one person who is willing to respond to my political rants!

^ 70 hours a week is brutal, though I think I'd rather be in a hot kitchen than in Siberia. If I remember right, a typical workbreak for Ivan D was a mug of boiling water which he drank while squatting on a bit of permafrost that the authorities had designated as a building site. I may not've worked construction in Siberia, but I have waited, in mid-winter, at windswept London bus-stops for over half-an-hour at a time, so I can imagine how Ivan D must've felt. ;)

Once you reach the point where life is severely degraded you’ve entered the threshold of Ivan Denisovich. The refusal to recognize the devastating nature of American capitalism on its lowest tier employees serves to make the reading of Solzhenitsyn exactly half as valuable. And I say half because there’s two lessons to be learned from Solzhenitsyn: 1) the value of perseverance and 2) the nature of oppression. Not understanding that the kitchen or factory or Walmart has become your gulag is to have completely missed the second point and undercuts the universality of the literature. It’s applicable to what I am witnessing. Our willingness to accept and recognize this horrific truth is to render Solzhenitsyn still relevant.

LOL! Jebus this is blowing UP!

Calm down! I'm getting my luggage here.

^ That's a real quality post, right there. Can't argue with that, and I really like your analysis of the lessons to be learned from Solzhenitsyn.

Stunning news coming out of England:- Woman Has Baby

The mother and the baby are both well, and the father has announced that he is "absolutely thrilled."
Although it has not been widely reported, some insiders suspect that the birth may be the result of an act of unprotected coitus some nine months earlier.

Thank you.

White House requires Big Pharma to list drug prices on TV ads as soon as this summer

Like trying to put out a housefire by opening a window.

"Holy **** that cancer medication is far too expensive! They'll not get a dollar of my money."

I'm waiting for polio and smallpox to make a comeback so we can see just how committed anti-vaxxers really are.

If smallpox returns it would have to be the result of bio-terrorism and vaccines would be hard for almost anyone to get.
