  • you make it sound as if politicians do things in a logical well thought out manner. It doesn't matter anyways, politicians will never vote for something that adds restrictions to themselves. Politics is entirely self-interested, and those who are publicly interested get pushed out.

  • on the surface that sounds reasonable, linking the age to run with the age to retire. If you're going by todays "retirement" age and social security age...

    But what will happen in practice is then the politicians will vote to raise the age of retirement, thereby giving them more time in office. Meanwhile, we're gonna have a lot more Walmart Greeters than we have positions. (assuming your local Wallyworld still has greeters..... and that the greeter isn't AI)

  • nobody likes Newsome, but in contrast to the rest of the Dems.... he's actually effective at getting under the GOPs skin. That's the whole thing.

    GOP doesn't give a shit about Jefferies yapping on the floor for hours. They don't care about another "strongly worded letter" from Schumer. And everyone, EVERYONE, hates Pelosi....

    Yes, we all want more people like Mamdani. His policies are everything that I want, that most of us want. But you'd also have to be politically ignorant to not realize that his platform is on shakey ground nationwide. You can do something like Mamdani in a blue stronghold like NY. But across the nation? At this moment in time? No chance, you might as well just hand GOP the keys to power ad infinitium.

    I don't like Newsome, but I'm not trying to throw the whole country in the toilet waiting for the world to come around to Mamdani. Playing this "all or nothing" game is getting real people killed and lives ruined.

  • saving this for later in case I ever finally decided to do the thing I've been thinking about doing now for 10+ years.... maybe this time I will.... maybe

  • which I hate.... especially the "shorts"....

    tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control.... I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)... but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.

    People be like "parent's should take responsibility for their kids"... I'm like "mf, I'm trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media" And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it's not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.

  • He sucks, but, right now, he's also the only dem taking real actions, with real momentum, against the gop. Actions that aren't just symbolic.

    Jefferies talked a lot? Who tf cares.

    Schumer's gonna write another stern email? Okay....

    If we continue to eat our own in the face of fascism we will get another Warren.

  • Cops do the right thing once defending the capitol.... that's not gonna cut it. That's like a toxic abuser and just lovebombing with convenient justice once.
