The question is, does he primary trump or run third party? yeah, sounds about right. kasich is smart enough to realize social conservatism is unpopular as gently caress for most people. yeah he obviously a shitbag still. but i think thats the direction the GOP may try to head down.

Meanwhile https://twitter.com/cahulaan/status/1075747724048269312 quote:Work-eligible able-bodied adults without dependents, known as ABAWDs, can currently receive only three months of SNAP benefits in a three-year period if they don’t meet the 20-hour work requirement. But states with an unemployment rate of 10 percent or higher or a demonstrable lack of sufficient jobs can waive those limitations.

The billionaire class used to at least pretend to be intellectuals. Fox News, Brietbart, etc was opium for the masses, and the billionaires read the weekly standard and has ideological pursuits based in capitalism and imperialism. Now those billionaires have brain worms and believe the same Fox News poo poo as every other MAGA dipshit, and the new billionaires are entitled, sociopathic tech bros that think the world owes them something for their “genius”. The GOP is absolutely going to double down on insane regressive social oppression, and I worry that any attempt to create a new, more moderate Republican Party will just steal votes from Democrats because too many voters are mentally enfeebled by the thoughtless consumption of centrism.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnKasich/status/1075524939699101697 The gender discrimination thing comes as a surprise, but he vetoed the heartbeat bill the last time it came up. It's not because he's pro-choice, he's overseen massive closures of abortion clinics in Ohio and other restrictions on abortion. He just knows that the heartbeat bill is immediately going to be struck down by the courts. He prefers that reproductive choice be subject to death by a thousand cuts.

That is never going to happen, so arguing like it’s a possibility is loving silly. You don’t get off crack by deciding if you smoked it out of a different pipe it’ll be different, but crackhead warmongers are here telling us exactly that. Look, America has a crack problem, and we only ever express that pathology in one way. And wishing it were different will not make it so. So get off the loving pipe cold turkey and get your poo poo together before you start pitching more war.

We made the mess because we are incompetent, and we haven’t gotten the competence to fix it in APPROACHING 20 loving YEARS NOW, so I don’t give a gently caress. Sometimes the path to getting better is messy and has sucky consequences. There is no happy ending here and deciding that our liberal do-good attitude can make a happy ending is basic self-delusion coupled with imperialist racism.
