most catholics don't either

Catholicism for as long as they could manage maintained the fine tradition established in their Roman empire state cult roots of restricting literacy to themselves and the ruling elite. They and their sectarian enemies all have a long goal of bringing this back. Any time you see a lovely county in a state with a lovely conservative-dominated government where they are actually laboring to snuff out public education in favor of religious privatized schools, it's this.

Lol I'm not a fan of the Catholic church but one of their whole things is having good schools and colleges. I know a couple of atheists who went to a catholic college and they liked it. They had to take one or two theology classes they thought were interesting. Your theory doesn't really check out if you take the last few hundred years into account.

She also leans very heavily to the right when it comes to supporting cops, and at one point was the Attorney General for California. So she sucks no matter what.

In the same way that Trump is, maybe. That is to say, charismatic to lead poisoned illiterate morons. There should way to distinguish the two types of negative charisma. Kamala is boring, but MTG is offensively off-putting.

Yeah assuming Dementia Don doesn't win this year, Dems are still going to be in a weird place in 2028.

Presumably Harris will run, putting Dems in a place similar to 2000 but with someone somehow less charismatic than Al Gore. So does Newsom or someone challenge her?
If Biden doesn't finish his term, then she'll be running as an Incumbent President, making it even harder for someone to challenge her.

Also republicans will very, very likely take the senate this fall, meaning literally nothing will get done for at least the first half of the term including zero judicial appointments, not sure how the map looks in 2026 for the senate.

I think we got to make it to 2028 somehow without Trump winning in 2024. If we make it to 2028 and Trump is in prison / dead/ whatever, then we're in okay shape.

Maybe?

2028 is very likely going to be a clown car even if Harris is the incumbent (god forbid), but we have a lot of really good clowns lined up. There are going to be people running we don't predict, even. Of the people who currently are prominent, I'm tentatively rooting for either Pritzker or a union leader - Shawn Fain is loving great, if he wants to run for president I'd love it.

Pretty funny imo that the average chud thinks Ronna McDaniel is responsible for their recent election and funding losses, and not the gross fat rapist criminal stupid evil most-hated-man on the planet piece of poo poo that is their entire party's brand right now. I guess scapegoating a woman for your failures is as Republican as it gets tho.

I hear an awful lot of people bitching about modern music, specifically pop.

I don't like modern pop that much, so I don't listen to it.

That's it, that's all there is to it. Unless you work in a place that plays music you can't control all day, how is it in this world of streaming that you're being so exposed to music you hate? Just listen to something else!

I can imagine if it were still 1995 and you can't afford a CD player yet and your only source of music is the radio and MTV, sure, alright you're kind of stuck listening to whatever's popular, maybe. But in 2024? Come on.

Really my main complaint about music, and I have a feeling this is what people are really whining about; is that the discovery of new music is really difficult. Spotify’s music discovery algorithm is terrible. I find new stuff through word of mouth, but it’s usually a pretty long period in between discovering a band that is new to me and that I vibe with really well.

Spotify's algorithm is goofy terrible. Sometimes I accidentally do "smart shuffle" instead of "shuffle" and it's like, oh hey what this death metal playlist needs is some Staind!
