General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 337

New Vundabar album!

 

I’m really worried how everyone I follow on Instagram doing “day X of quarantine!” stories are gonna be able to keep this up for 18 months???

 

bet noone can guess what I'm listening to for comfort

 

Goddamn that Imperial College report has been on my mind all day and it's filling me with existential dread. I just read the Twitter summary to a few coworkers and my voice was shaking just from doing that.

 

Dow just reached 2000 drop today. Ugh

 

"Blue No Matter Who" people are already blaming the Bernie Supporters in advance for not voting for Biden in the general election. They should rather have a seat and understand something. Our children and descendants deserve BETTER than this.

We (people like myself) were never Blue No Matter Who. We were never Blue to begin with. "Blue" has, for decades, been a source of disappointment, neglect, deceit, betrayal and collusion with the people who actively persecute us. You never had us to begin with, yet you're acting entitled to our votes and support.

You need to understand this: This election season, you all have been inundated by our generosity as we put our discomfort aside for the off chance of salvaging your shitty Party. Your cup of our compromises runneth the hell over. You are not entitled to a single damn vote, and we sure as hell are not responsible for wrecking your mediocre ass dreams.

I think NOT

There are people out here committing suicide over the student debt they're drowning in, debt that they acquired by putting faith in your bullshit promises of work-hard-get-paid. We're out here GoFundMe-ing chemo treatments ...and drinking poison water because your billionaire buddies wanted to save a dollar. And what did you all do?

Actively and OPENLY sabotaged the only candidate who bothered to care.

I don't owe you ANYTHING

You want Trump out? Wow. What ambition. Don't pull a muscle reaching for the stars there. Thank you for really coming through when things finally got bad enough that they started to affect YOU.

Maybe if YOU learn how to compromise we can do that.

Erase crippling debt "No Matter Who". End police brutality "No Matter Who". Abolish ICE "No Matter Who". Free Palestine "No Matter Who". Stop people from dying of preventable fucking illnesses "No Matter Who". Stop sending our hard-earned dollars to Israel at the rate of 53 million dollars, stealing 21 trillion from the Pentagon and giving our tax breaks to Billionaires with our tax money "No Matter Who".

SCREW your Party loyalty. We want People loyalty. When you show up for that, then we can talk about what you can have from us.

Do what you have to do to stop the madness and expose the delusion of Left vs Right. Make no mistake that this is a CLASS WAR waged against us.

Fighting against each other distracts us from fighting against the Corporate Disinformation-Media Machine funded by the Elite, which keeps our country in shambles for generations to come."

It sucks because I agree with every. single. sentiment here. But I of course will be voting for Biden if he's the nom. I feel like I'm selling my soul.

 

The big 3 plants shutting down might finally cause my work to let us out for two weeks.

 

Kid Rock's 1998 classic Devil Without A Cause?

 

AMC theaters closing for 12 weeks. That’s the biggest retail/service closure I’ve seen

 

RamonaQuimby 2024 running on the campaign slogan "I Think NOT"

 

Agreed with everything, minus the last part. I will not be voting Biden unless I am literally held hostage to do so. Much respect on you for doing what you feel is right tho.

 

I used to work for them and im not even fucking surprised by this piece of shit company doing this fuck their owner to hell

some menards highlights:

Menard ordered to pay $30,000 to settle illegal dumping charge

 

Legend

 

John Menard is the wealthiest person in my state and he is an absolutely vile man. People around here go nuts for Menard's because of the low(er) prices and the big "made in the USA" marketing push they've always done. They fucking suck.

Big 3 shutting down is not what my dad is hearing at his plant in KC

 

This guy was legend though

 

you guys know me so well

 

his brother drunk drove his truck into the front of our new store and that's why those big yellow pillars are in front of the stores now lol the whole family fucking sucks

 

There's a better Wisconsin retail legend...

 

The Oregonian reported on an email to Powell’s employees in which the human resources director for the Portland-based independent bookstore chain wrote, “Powell’s needs to take to immediate steps to scale back the company.” The chain is initiating “involuntary” layoffs, and employees can expect to see their health insurance cut off at the end of their last month of employment.

 

Thanks but I feel like I'm going completely against my instincts. I'm trying to come from a different perspective though of someone who Trump is affecting the most and voting based on that. But if Biden is probably going to lose to Trump anyway I'm almost like what's the point of voting for him. I might as well write in Bernie. I keep going back and forth on it.

 

I'm sad to hear all this - Menards has definitely been my go-to for DIY house projects.
