    Think back to when bill was caught getting blowies in the oval office. Given the power dynamics it was some fucked up shit. Then remember the circus around Monica.

    Dems like the to pretend that was one isolated indiscretion and all is forgiven and forgotten. They pretend their reputation is untarnished and they can rise above all criticism using thier infallible moral comprehension.

    The truth is their reputation never recovered. For the last 20+ years we’ve been suppressing an intolerable amount of disdain for the party that they truthfully can never recover from.

    The DNC is a sunk cost. It’s why the GOP has been able to thwart democracy itself because the keepers of high morals were proven to be jus lowley scum bags like the rest of us. If they are just as slobbernly as don down the street why not let don run everything. At least don doesn’t try to hide it.

    Our values cannot be protected by the dems. That is why I say let them fight. Let them spend all this capital they’ve amassed and we can all move on after everyone realizes they can’t defeat the GOP and the titans have been freed. The old gaurd is dead. It’s time for Hercules.






  • There is something wrong and I’m not sure it’s personal accountability. It may be my mental illness or just my antisocial behavior but I’ve never been able to ignore the broader issues with the world.

    I’m not saying mental illness has distorted reality or something. I’m saying because I don’t function like everyone else everything seems inadequate for me.

    I’m also not saying it’s good to be antisocial I’m saying I feel severe anxiety and dread after the simplest of human interaction and it exceedingly more difficult to manage as I get older. So there is no group think I am comfortable subscribing to because the group freaks me the fuck out.

    What ever the cause I have this lense that seems to just be non-existent for most people. There could be a economic aspect to it but I do pretty well comparatively. The only difference between someone my age and myself is I might have less of a savings but my income is acceptable. I don’t have family support but I think generational wealth is few and far between. That could be wrong if you’re accounting for my demographic but it could also be skewed depending on where you live.

    All this to say, some people are completely unconcerned with the condition of society. They are happy pretending everyone is like themselves where what is happening in government or around the world will never effect them personally. I do not share this view. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the dopamine to sustain the positive feelings that Bob Marleys “don’t worry, be happy” song represents but if we look at this election, they need my lense and their perspective can be thrown in the ocean.








  • But we can also get our friends and neighbors involved and build mutual aid networks and support each other.

    I want this but for online. We need to unify our online voices and it can’t be the under the current tent for left leaning people. If we had single way that we handled discourse between each other we could present as a united front. Right now, though, it’s easy for everything to devolve into pissing contests and everyone walks away mad. I dunno, I just wish we could make allies and treat allies like allies. Maybe if the online community had a say in who we were going to side with and how we are going to treat each other we wouldn’t be so quick to metaphorically try and curb stomp everyone who says something you don’t like, even if they’re ultimately on your side.
