Always strange when right wing groups who, on one hand, hold up their patriotic flag and claim they want to defend the Constitution then turn right around and violate it.

Shoutout to all the dumbasses claiming that “all you need to get elected is a good candidate” and that’s where Democrats “fail.”

If that was true, Charles Booker and Mandela Barnes would both be in the Senate right now. Sheer dumbfuckery.

It’s infrastructure. Which is jobs. Republicans just don’t get it.

“A new Transportation Department grant program created under the infrastructure law is aiming to improve safety at the nation’s rail crossings, sending $570 million this year to 32 states to upgrade more than 400 locations. The projects will construct overpasses and pay for track relocations and pedestrian and vehicular improvements where train tracks and roads intersect.”

College tuition is so high that our young people have to take out student loans that will financially crush them over the course of their life if they want to get an education. But colleges have a spare $75 laying around to buyout losing football coaches. I think we are angry at the wrong people in this country when Americans are hating on students with massive student loan debt.

I find it interesting how the conversation a few years ago was so heavily mocking "safe spaces" and how we need to toughen up the kids before college. Now Republicans want the entire public school system to be a safe space for white supremacist views.

Good for Illinois for closing the book on book bans.

There aren’t any situations where Donald Trump would have better policies than Joe Biden. It’s not a question.

Heimdall, 3 months ago to random

Biden defeated Trump in Michigan four years ago by 154,188 votes.

Obama had an “uncommitted” protest vote here in 2012, too, of 10.69%, but I never got to ask all of them what they didn’t like about Obama. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Anyway, hope everyone can unite by November because we need it.

If someone has positive things to say about Donald Trump, in comparison to anything anywhere, that person is a Trump supporter. It’s not questionable.

I guess he desperately wants to Make America White Again (which it never really was). The “Great” was just another Trump racist smokescreen.

There isn’t racism against white people. It stupid to even consider voting for Trump. Or a third party.

Most polls are total bullshit but come on Michigan. If these are really your concerns, Trump isn’t the guy that’s addressing them. Joe Biden has been addressing them and successfully.

“While nearly half of those polled said their political leanings have changed over the last five years, a majority agree that the top issues they care about are the economy, jobs, affordable housing and income inequality.”

“But the GOP insists it ignored race and only considered partisanship when it drew a district that was more favorable to Republican candidates.”

They should add footnotes, too. Like Babe Ruth’s entry should say “Never had to hit against Satchel Paige.”

This is a very good thing although 80 years too late.

If only white men were not so insecure about everything and have to create artificial barriers and rules to give themselves an advantage over people of color and others.
