Identity politics is intellectual bankruptcy (with a healthy dose of bigotry).

Reply to Globally, the total cost of energy for households has likely increased between 62.6% and 112.9% since Russia invaded Ukraine, say international researchers. An additional 78–141 million people worldwide could be pushed into extreme poverty as a result of these increases. by MistWeaver80
Oh, is that why the prices went up? Not greed on the part of the energy corporations? I wonder what their profit margins look like, before and after?

They were probably part of the Comcast outage, which covered about half the city. The city where the corporation is headquartered. On Super Bowl Sunday. In which the same city is competing.

Bernie 1000% would have won in a landslide, it's no question. It's not even up for debate, it's fully accepted.

This brings back a lot of wonderful memories. I lived in FDR Park that week, and was at the barricades. I turned down being a delegate, after working for the campaign, but I was able to be on the ground for the whole affair, relaying messages and goings on to the outside.
I met a lot of amazing people, and made friendships that will likely last my lifetime. I sat in a circle with Jill Stein and discussed the speech she had just given. I took selfies with Vermin Supreme and asked him when I was getting my damn pony. I spoke to hundreds, thousands of disillusioned young people, who knew that we were going to get robbed, but turned out in force anyway.
And even though the inevitable happened, and the democrats didn't follow their own rules, we woke an entire generation up to the corruption at every level of the electorate. And while I grow old and weary, I know that the fire is still lit in the hearts of the young. I only hope they can keep it burning.

We were right not to vote for her. I'll take selfish incompetence over pure evil any day of the week.
But don't worry, the dems are getting their wish. We have Biden now, and the world teeters on the brink of war.

It was. He is by far the worst-case scenario. We're on the brink of global war.

Once when I was in high school, I think junior year, a bunch of us coordinated to call into the local radio station and report that the roads were very unsafe, no one should drive on them. I guess we weren't very good actors, because the DJ called us out on it.

I do that with my car when I park in a shady area - glovebox and console open, sun visors down. Make it clear there's nothing to take.

Unique to humans? We've been dancing with birds for centuries.

Good, I'm tired of the signs. Unnecessary pollution. Absolutely no one has ever decided who to vote for based on those dumbass signs.
