I'm in. I'm putting all my chips on Dr. Akinyemi Olabode Agbede (right click add to dictionary x3) and he's going to save us all.

And Jill Stein is insane, so

I mean she'd still be better than Trump, nominally, in that I'd rather have a fool than a monster for president. But honestly preferring Stein over all of the other possible candidates you can vote for in California?

Unless... oh, are you a vaxxx truther?
Personally I'm only going to vote Stein until smallpox appears on the ballot, at which point my true political convictions will come into play. Until then, baby steps.

For the cigarette one, I've been thinking "no" because it disproportionately affects the poor.

I asked newsom if he though the state should assume the responsibility for ensuring a middle class quality of life for Californians if business won't do it and he was like "nope. Personal responsibility! That's the future so get used to it."
I asked newsom why he was rooting through my trash and he said he was looking for condoms to eat, and then ran away. If I catch him at it again I'm going to hang up blinking Christmas lights around my trash bin. I hear that works?

Prick.

I wonder how Trump will affect Ken Calvert's reelection. Ballotpedia says his/my district is +9(R) and that we voted +8 for Trump. All the Trump voters I know have only doubled down on him since 2016, so, I don't know, I'm kind of expecting the Trump effect to pass us by. I'm not sure how much of my district is wealthy nativists, or how to find out.

Blue 42, come on :pray:

Dire news, friends: I've recently been informed that California is broke. No details provided, just that California is broke, and that's why we have all these draconian taxes.

I need those details without having to listen to conservative ranting with associated rear end-pulls. Were we in the news recently? Is this about the deficit?

Nah

It’s at least 90%

“Independent” just means someone votes straight ticket republican with maybe a very rare exception, and are just too embarrassed to admit they are a bigoted fascist piece of poo poo that also loves shooting children and enriching the rich. so they hope saying “oh well ho hum well actually I’m independent! Both parties are bad! *brain slides out of ear into molten pile of goop*

I'm independent because I don't want to ever get mail from the democratic party, the bastards. Stick it to the man

On it. Calvert you loving bloated tick of a political throwback, we comin for you. Hitting the buttons super hard makes your vote count for more, right? Wait no I'm mail-in.

But there are enough ultra-Trumpers and lifelong gop voters in my area that I've been assuming the blue wave will dodge us entirely. So many people who still care about guns, protecting America from the foreign hordes, and never never never funding "freebies" for the poor. They're all over the place. They own my apartment, they host Christmas dinner, they set up petition desks outside the local stater bros.

God do I want to see these people poo poo themselves over Representative Peacock. we'll see, I guess.

As of polls taken in June, Julia Peacock is probably not beating Calvert in district 42. Would anyone like to tell me otherwise :ohdear:

Correct. You probably can't get these people to act decent, but if you shut this poo poo down with a supersoaker full of piss then maybe the essential workers on your block can get another hour of sleep.

I'm always seeing these stickers on people's trucks, the ones with the roman numeral III inside a circle of stars. I've been telling myself they aren't three percenter stickers, but then that NFL player got in trouble for having the exact same symbol as a tattoo.

So I guess what I'm saying is that being the best of the two coasts is like being the best of the two American political parties.

lol really nice of your landlord to pit their tenants against each other, especially during a depression and plague

a $500 dollar discount could be the difference between life and death for plenty of people lol im sure no one feels resentful towards the landlord or the winner that they live next door to

What I like is that this incentivizes renters to encourage each other not to pay on time, because each person who pays rent lowers the odds of their getting that $500.

I think the really evil move would be to combine this with a promise to lower everyone's rent for the month for each renter who paid in full and on time. This might or might not result in bullying campaigns. Or it'd encourage tenants to work together. Oops!

Jesus, all of these fuckers would be in so much trouble if Americans were better at working toward a shared goal. We are SO close at all times, yet never quite there. I wander what the correlation actually is between leftism and alcoholism.

As what? And do you know if the place was any different from a true Amazon fulfillment center?

I was also going to ask if anyone working there looked particularly arsonous but let's not get anybody arrested.

This picture just gets better the more I look at it. The hot pocket and CRT monitor are the obvious standouts, but let's not sleep on the CD player, the fossil phone, and the Tommy Boy DVD.

I'm not even trying to roast. The pic makes me happy, that's it. I usually have to watch videos of penguins or piglets to get this feeling.

Yeah you wouldn't believe the whining I'm hearing from all my bosses up the chain. The owner of the company called a meeting to tell us all about how people voted for this because they don't understand economics, plus all the usual talking points about teacher pay and prices of goods. Meanwhile we're getting steady business even on slow days, and while that could be bc it's the first of the month, I expect to see it get markedly more busy as customers have more money now. Not that I would care if we didn't, but still.
