They really are! I’ve brushed against these climbing communities before and long been drawn to go (for many reasons haven’t). Why is this? Why does it seem like this attracts chill people?

Lately I’ve realized I need to get back into some sport again, whether that’s pick-up soccer, racquetball, climbing or something… Good for the soul. Too old for hockey now, I think lol.

They aren’t the first, and won’t be the last. It’s so fucking sad.

I haven’t look into it with any depth, but I kind of feel recall elections should be possible especially for US Senators.

Meh Adelita Grijalva is 55 and just did the same.

Geriatrics are a problem though, I get it.

Went back to a rural area near where I grew up in the north east having since moved out west for many years and, wow, the locker room talk is strong.

Growing up, my dad always said, “the south is 10 years behind us, culturally, and west is 10 years ahead.”

I very much get it.

This exact thing needs to be repeated everywhere. Well said.

I thought she was running for her mom’s seat but I’m glad she’s not. If she wants to run for local to prove herself then go for it. Lots of people follow in parents footsteps and it makes sense.

That said, I fully support progressive Saikat Chakrabarti running for Pelosi’s House seat (against Wiener who is an AIPAC candidate…)

You’re not wrong sadly:

• We saw that with Cuomo going Independent against Mamdani
• We saw Sinema flip Independent
• We saw basically the same thing when DINO billionaire Bloomberg derailed Sanders and Warren in 2020.
• We’ll almost certainly see Fetterman do the same thing.

At least with Mamdani’s case, it was worth trying.

Yep. My tepid optimism and defense of Schumer lasted like a whole 24 hours…

Uhh, more Americans blamed Republicans and Trump’s approval tanked.

This guy is full of fucking shit. There was no reason relent and it would’ve set Dems up for success next year.

Primary them all.

Closest thing Donnie can relate with is being told he wasn’t allowed to golf during the campaign. Rough, buddy, I know.

What was the curriculum you used for them to learn to read?

On that note I’m glad millions could protest during No Kings with not even a single incident to note.

What somewhat shocks me and I’m grateful for is that there were no false flags.

Exactly! I’ll repeat what I wrote elsewhere that this is actually a good strategic move as much as I want Jeffries and Schumer gone.

Follow me:

• The GOP are forking Democrats to choose a loss of SNAP benefits, or a loss of healthcare tax subsidies that will see premiums skyrocket to unaffordable levels for millions.

• Democrats DO have the negotiating leverage right now considering Trump’s approval is plummeting and more Americans blame Republicans than Democrats.

• However, this move has a slightly veiled one: It punts the issue to become a talking-point on healthcare right around midterms next year, which will be hugely beneficial to Democratic talking points.

• As a result, Democrats seize a win for the American people in both restoring SNAP benefits and ACA tax subsidies for a year more, while at the same time loading up political leverage for midterms next year.

• NOT TO MENTION: It solidifies the side who is trying to viably come to the table and to HELP the American people. Makes them look like the adults in the room.

Dare I say, great move.

That tracks after I got caught with a stash of sears catalog rip-outs and my catholic mom guilt-tripped me lol.

Neither of us are religious now so it’s kind of funny on hindsight at least.

A lot of people here are interpreting this incorrectly. Guys, this is actually a good strategic move as much as I want Jeffries and Schumer gone.

Naww we can’t do that, man! Clearly they need their 10th house, 3rd yacht, and 2nd private jet! Homeless kids be damned!

Good! Republicans are putting the lives of Americans in danger with their bullshit.

Wish we could freeze their assets and stocks, and start selling them off to pay off debt the actual workers.

Well said. So tired of these boisterous bullshitters always running their mouths off conveniently from somewhere else. If they’re so concerned and would do the right thing, they can simply buy a plane ticket.
