Duly noted, and I appreciate your not relegating my opinion to snorting self-sourced methane expulsions.

The harder notion for me here is that I have been voting since Bush Sr. / Clinton. This toilet keeps spinning faster as we get closer to the drain.

Until recent years, I believed that voting was exercising my rights and fighting the good fight. Maybe I’m jaded, which I think is fair, but I do think, in light of the circus we’ve watched the the past 8 years, that we’ve entered a new arena where violence ultimately is where this is headed. Someone responded here that I have permission to be something other than sad. Unfortunately, I disagree. When the shots ring out in political rage, we’ve effectively lost our civility.

I will reconsider my decision to not vote, but the bitterness might win out.

You may well be correct on all counts.

A question was asked, and I answered honestly from my perspective.

Ok.

Unfettered capitalism has masterfully created a self-serve corporatocracy that filters money straight to the political parties who, in turn, pose puppet leaders in front of the masses to grant a semblance of choice. No good will come of this “Weekend at Bernie’s” farce of an election. Under current auspices, only more greed, lies, and violence are to follow.

Sorry, disenfranchisement and apoplexy are all that remain.

It’s not nice to kink shame.

Here’s some money. Go see a Star War.

I would take those and the adhesive rubber feet that you would get with switches and make coasters out of them to give away.

Thanks! I appreciate the information, and I apologize. I guess I could’ve looked it up.

I can’t blame her, but damn. Is it too cliche to say that’s why she’d be a great candidate?

Apologies for my ignorance, but just why hasn’t she run for office?

Clearly this man has never

I must confess to missing the vastness of Reddit, but I’ll never go back. The company I keep here is better, by far.

Is he legit trying to steal Uncle Baby Billy’s look?

I did hear of one that asked to borrow about tree fiddy.

Interestingly, the pic used is a diamond discovered in Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, AR. It’s a unique 83 acre kimberlite site where you can pay a small fee, and take the kids to search for a diamond that, if you find one, you get to keep. I lived 42 years in Arkansas, and we took our kids and had a fun time digging and teaching the kids about geology.

I say all that to make the point there are good sides to understanding diamonds without the BS surrounding shitty business practices and human exploitation. That park is a decent step in the right direction.

The hive mind is strong with this one.

May his loss of power be swift and embarrassing to him and his ilk, and cause the RNC to sink further into self destruction.

Narrator: “They didn’t.”

I grew up not far from Weiner, Arkansas, but Bald Knob always made me snicker more as a teenager.

Unfortunately, propagating ignorance is useful as a tool to keep change from ever occurring.

I’m a white dude that lived in the South for 42 of my 51 years. I was fortunate that my parents were flower children that didn’t fit in with the hate scene of the time, and they taught me to respect everyone.

Their biggest hurdle was the limit of their knowledge. Like me, they weren’t taught the history of atrocities that we’re perpetrated against our citizens. The advantage that I had as a parent, over what my parents had, was the good fortune to live in an age of enlightenment through information.

I did my best to make sure that I passed on that part of my parents legacy to my, now adult, children while also making sure they understood what the actual history looked like in our country. I’m hopeful they’ll levy their advantages to continue to help break the cycle.
