(in my own experiences in aftermarket retail auto parts, i am quite thankful for the small grace of somebody paying for their order in pennies during any other time than the five o'clock rush. but even if they had, i know what it is like as i've also been of circumstances to have to pay for a can of fix-a-flat with change)

quote:

One would think with numbers like that, Democratic politicians would be falling all over themselves to be associated with Sanders, especially considering the party as a whole is more unpopular than the Republicans and even Donald Trump right now. Yet instead of embracing his message, the establishment wing of the party continues to resist him at almost every turn, and they seem insistent that they don’t have to change their ways to gain back the support of huge swaths of the country.

quote:

Sanders’ effect on Trump voters can be seen in a gripping town hall this week that MSNBC’s Chris Hayes hosted with him in West Virginia – often referred to as “Trump country” – where the crowd ended up giving him a rousing ovation after he talked about healthcare being a right of all people and that we are the only industrialized nation in the world who doesn’t provide healthcare as a right to all its people.

quote:

But hand wringing by Democratic officials over 2018 candidates is really just the latest example: the establishment wing of the party aggressively ran another opponent against Keith Ellison, Sanders’ choice to run the Democratic National Committee, seemingly with the primary motivation to keep the party away from Sanders’ influence.

They’ve steadfastly refused to take giant corporations head on in the public sphere and wouldn’t even return to an Obama-era rule that banned lobbyist money from funding the DNC that was rescinded last year. And despite the broad popularity of the government guaranteeing health care for everyone, they still have not made any push for a Medicare-for-all plan that Sanders has long called for as a rebuttal to Republicans’ attempt to dismantle Obamacare.

quote:

As Politico reported on the Democrats’ post-Trump strategy in February, “Democratic aides say they will eventually shift to a positive economic message that Rust Belt Democrats can run on”. However: “For now, aides say, the focus is on slaying the giant and proving to the voters who sent Trump into the White House why his policies will fail.”

In other words, they’re doubling down on the exact same failing strategy that Clinton used in the final months of the campaign. Sanders himself put it this way in his usual blunt style in an interview with New York magazine this week – when asked about whether the Democrats can adapt to the political reality, he said: “There are some people in the Democratic Party who want to maintain the status quo. They would rather go down with the Titanic so long as they have first-class seats.”

It's still hilarous that, after literally decades of insistence that a socialist would be tarred & feathered, a self-proclaimed socialist who constantly repeats "the rich have way too much loving money, we need to redistribute it" is up +41 among independents and +28 among all voters.

Speaking of basically forbidden, after reading the wiki page im still not sure why magic mushrooms are illegal

they aren't tied to any cartels, they are impossible to OD on, they're even less addictive than weed, there's no side effects, it has potential use in tinnitus, OCD, and depression treatment, and they're a cultural pillar of aztec art

at least with weed you could point at edge cases of addiction and brain damage and its initial cartel beginnings, theres dick for shrooms
