One more thing…
Make an extra set of keys before you move in.
Sanders is almost 90. You cant count on him to survive his term, much less create a new Party.
No 3rd party has won the Presidency in modern times.
If you want to see change, look at what’s actually worked in the past.
Back in the day, a guy named Jerry Falwell made himself a power in the GOP by a simple trick.
Both Parties, Dems and GOP have local clubs that make the small scale choices that keep things moving. They pick the county clerks and sheriffs. If the local GOP club had had twenty people at the meeting that chose the country clerk, Falwell’s folks would show up with fifty.
After a while, those county clerks were becoming Congresspeople.
[off topic]
Liquor stores have the best boxes and the clerks hate having to break them down. Go to the local liquor store and ask them for boxes. You’ll get all you need.
Another good trick. Instead of packing delicates like plates with paper, use clean clothes. T-shirts will keep things from breaking and you cut down on the number of boxes.
The Left keeps not voting in hopes the Dems will come to them.
It’s not going to work next time either.
I’m sure that the same people who couldn’t deliver Bernie Sanders an overwhelming win in 2020 can suddenly become savvy pols who can just put together a national third party.
If you want action, do what AOC and the others in her squad did. Work inside the Dem party.
Take a lesson from the right. Back in the 1970s Jerry Falwell decided to take control of the GOP. He did it from the ground up. If the local GOP club had had twenty people show up to the last meeting to pick the next county clerk, Falwell’s people would show up with fifty people. Soon those county clerks and sheriffs were becoming Congresspeople and Senators.
Politics is a game and the left sucks at playing it.
The stupidest thing is that he could have quietly blackmailed the Saudis out of $50 billion on Inauguration Day 2017.
There really is no such thing as ‘The USA.’
I live in New York City and what’s cool here will get you arrested in other places.
Some towns are fine with you having a rifle on open display. Some towns are fine with you smoking pot on the street.
The good old days, right?
Mostly.
Think the world would be all sunshine and friendship if the Saudi princes had the US arsenal? Putin? The people at the top didn’t get there because they played nice and shared their toys.
Be careful what you wish for.
I’m sorry, but that’s an absolute fantasy.
When have you seen anything like that level of international co-operation?
And have you stopped to think that there are a lot of rich and powerful people with a strong vested interest in keeping things going the way they are.
How about we drop all the distinctions and just say “good for regular people”?
Marx never wrote about lunch, so we shouldn’t eat anything!
Ever seen ‘The Addams Family’ movie? Remember the scene where the villainess says she killed her parents because they got her the wrong Barbie doll for Christmas?
The funny thing is that people vote for the GOP to save the economy but they are the ones who have ruined the economy on a regular basis/
If we get a consensus on the Left it will be the first time ever.
“I can’t support Bernie! He’s not a real Socialist, he’s a Social Democrat!!”
How did one so young gain such wisdom?
I have no idea why someone down voted something that obvious.
Like I said, very brief…
Rudy was a bully when he was NYC Mayor. He happily jailed fare beaters and squeegee men to ‘protect’ the citizens.
I only wish he’d been forced to hand over the assets personally.
