at the same time, i can't recall the last time anybody seriously made noise about the outcome of the 2000 election to any significant extent. i'm not saying people will forget about it or that the underlying issues will disappear; i just look forward to a whole new batch of conspiracy theories related to the outcome of 2020 sucking all of the oxygen out of the room.

it's also why we haven't heard a peep from the establishment about Manchin or Sinema saying they'd vote for Trump before Bernie and not support the Dem agenda under him, but we got a week of meltdowns when the DSA voted to refuse to endorse anybody but Bernie under any circumstance, even tho the former are actually Dems and the latter are emphatically not

There's no amount of caving to the right that will ever be considered unacceptable to the Dems, but the merest whiff of aggression from the left and the sirens start sounding

the status quo for the Dems since the 70's has been that the left will get in line and eat poo poo and be happy about it, while the right gets to dictate everything the Dems do

nobody except the truly ancient have any idea how to fit an angry and demanding left wing into their worldview so they either just pretend it's not happening or melt down nonstop on social media calling the people who are mad about Schumer rubberstamping 100% of Trump's agenda Trump lovers

the dmv is alright, it's slow but i can ascribe that to a lack of resources combined with an admittedly excessive reliance on doing things in person when you should just be able to do vehicle registration online.

You can.

I swear to god I'll take my chances at the DMV, the public library or the post office over Comcast, Verizon, Citibank, ATT and certainly PG&E or any private insurance company. I honestly don't think I've ever spent more than an hour at the DMV or the USPS dealing with anything.

You can do vehicle registration renewal online, but in California at least you have to go in to submit the title and forms.

A nasty woman, I think you should try is, Jess.


Last DMV visit in the bay area was when I renewed my driver's license by mail and they cashed the check but the license never came and I had to go in to straighten it out. I had printed out the proof the check was cashed but accidentally didn't print out the back of the check, but they said I could go back home, print it, and come back in 30 minutes I wouldn't have to start over in line. So I did, breaking numerous traffic laws while doing so. The post office is especially busy now because everyone is trying to get their real IDs before the travel deadline, starting over in line would probably add another 3 hours to what was already 3 hours. Most everything else I can just do online or by mail, I think it had been 8 years since I had been to a physical one.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/05/manufacturers-struggle-in-rust-belt-regions-that-helped-trump-win.html

quote:

From January to September, the states bordering the Great Lakes have lost more than 25,000 manufacturing jobs: Pennsylvania lost 8,100; Ohio lost 6,000; Michigan lost 6,500; and Wisconsin lost 4,700.

.....

Peter Navarro, who leads the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing and Policy, called the data and the experiences of the business owners CNBC interviewed “anti-Trump fake news” and cited the recent highs in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
When asked in a Sept. 30 interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” about the seeming erosion in manufacturing jobs in the Rust Belt, Navarro was defiant.

“I don’t know why you’re going down this path” of questioning, Navarro said. “Manufacturing is strong as a rock.”

Trade war costs are starting to sink in with manufacturers in the Rust Belt and are hitting blue collar areas that voted for Trump particularly hard, so we may get to see some new chud safaris in the papers. White House is in denial mode because of course they are.

There was one poll that had it a double-digit race. The others all had it within single digits. But that's from Nate so I don't know if he missed any for ideological reasons.

Oh yeah. Mine is "putting up a society to survive climate change intact". Granted, I think the wholesale destruction of the billionaire class is a prerequisite, but I'll still introduce myself with preferred pronouns, despite having zero internal friction with my gender identity, or that I don't look like anything but a cishet dude. I would flabbergasted if somebody misgendered me outside of some kind of attempt to insult.

I'm not sure I can mentally square that round hole in my brain, but if that's truly the case, then ignore her and talk to the others, if only to contain the spread of those particular brainworms.
