so much of my extended family came over without papers, but managed to get them and now they want that trump wall built and want immigrants banned and the last election proves that it's a common thread among all latinos.
most of the ones in rural texas and suburban florida like trump; every one else hates him and there's no in between somehow; but hating on new immigrants is common everywhere.
You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
genx is the most trumpy of all the generations and millennials are now in their early 40's; unless you're genz or younger, i wouldn't wait.
also living long enough to watch biden go from dunking on gays to get easy political points to being hailed as the most pro-gay president ever has convinced me that things change in ways that don't make sense so i now expect that, as wealth transfers from boomers to their younger relatives, we'll see fascist sentiments resurge due to newly wealthy people feeling like they need to do something to keep their new found wealth.
Let’s see how the strategy of ignoring calls from your base a year before a contested election that your opponent polls higher in key states works out for them. It feels like the DNC is trying to lose in 2024 right now.
the "vote for the lesser evil" crowd are an overwhelming majority and, they not only don't care that dems don't deserve your vote; but will use that overwhelming majority voice to blame you for enabling trump.
this and the fact biden was so un-apologetically banking on homophobic, sexist and classicist issues until well after it became politically convenient to change is exactly why i stopped voting democrat and i love that i've been able to convince other who i have a relationship with to stop as well.
voting for the lesser evil will only serve to guarantee that you will forever be voting for the lesser evil and that you will reach the same evil that the alternative raced towards, but slower.
On a sticky Texas morning, Kimberly Mata-Rubio is lacing up her running shoes ahead of two races she is running in Uvalde in tribute to her daughter Lexi, who was killed in the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting....
i've learned first hand that not even the liberals in austin give a rats ass about voter suppression in texas; so she must be doing this for herself because she's not going to have an impact in uvalde and much less for the rest of the state.
my pets are the sole reason i'm alive and now only one is still drawing breath; i can't adopt or rescue another because it hurts too much when they leave permanently so i don't think i'll be around long after this one is goes.
And one of the root causes is propaganda passed off as affordable education to school districts whose budgets are bieng intentionally choked off in favor of for profit education all across this country for the last 5 or so decades
I loved that show because I identified w jimmy as someone whose ambitions/aspirations where openly thwarted by those he cared about and was devoted to but kept the open secret from him. I hated chuck because it was clear he was acting on a desire for familial revenge; but then the writers in the last season made it clear that Jimmy is always in the wrong so now I just have ambivalent feelings about a show I loved and then deeply hated in the last 3 episodes
It's always been this way; it's merely that people like her volunteered to be the face of the party to sell to dumbass indecisive moderates the facade that her party is reasonable and has reasonable options.

You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?
