Tbf, in 2016 the DNC and Clinton were so arrogant they literally said, "we don't need your votes." Like every political campaign all they needed to do was make some empty promises to try to get them on board.

In my experience, the difference between die hard Sanders supporters and other leftists or liberals is that they tend to believe that the on going class war is the single biggest issue we face in the US today. Everything else is a distraction to keep that otherwise overwhelming block of the population segmented into competing blocks of people. The Dems just foster an attitude of "competing but inter-supportive" and the GOP has one of "competing, and you should enslave your enemies." The latter of course only really appealing to white conservatives and useful idiots.

Or, markets sometimes go down. They can't all grow infinitely forever.

If Samsung would just give me a phone with pure android and only Samsung pay, I would be so happy.

You know what I don't want when I search for an email Microsoft? I don't want your fucking suggestions about what I'm looking for.

I've been saying for years that the market exists for an R-rated movie about Vader hunting Jedi, but Disney doesn't have the balls for it.

I could see like...a row of purple accent tiles in a backsplash. But fuck.

It always feels like a conservative saying something about "states rights."

Sure the economy is good. But good for whom?

I feel like that's a side effect, where it's being done because now he owns twitter and can.

Originally, I'm pretty sure the reasoning was less convoluted - it was just a pump and dump stock scheme. Which he has a history of doing. He bought a bunch of twitter stock, he posted memes about buying twitter, a bunch of his idiot supporters correspondingly bought twitter stock, which drove up the price.

Then he tried to back out of buying it, he got sued and the SEC got involved. Because he'd had an ongoing vendetta with the SEC they helped force him into buying it.

Then he was stuck being required to purchase an asset which was known to be nearly impossible to get a profit out of, with big loans from multiple parties.

At the very least we can be sure the iPhone he's undoubtedly using is the secured one provided by the government. Unlike the walking info hazard that was his predecessor.

I'm pretty sure low morale is because of the pay and the hours, and low recruitment is because a new young generation that grew up during forever war is wise to the shit deal the military is trying to sell them, along with shit like rampant rape and sexual assault.

This is us. We operate perfectly as a team and we each function as an extension of the others body. We just synchronize so flawlessly that we're basically dancing around each other in the kitchen.

I feel so fortunate to have finally found someone I mesh with this thoroughly, but I live in perpetual terror that she'll be taken from me suddenly or unexpectedly by accident or sickness.
