Nebraska got weed and another state elected the first openly transgender U.S. Representative. Tlaib retained her seat.

Also, I learned that a grade school classmate won a state rep seat in one of the midwest swing states earlier and that's good news to me, at least.

It's worth acknowledging that Kamala Harris' 12th largest campaign donor is Alphabet inc according to opensecrets.org

Richard Nixon's head : I promise to cut taxes for the rich and use the poor as a cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel!

[audience applauds]

Philip J. Fry : That'll show those poor!

Turanga Leela : You're not rich!

Philip J. Fry : But someday I might be rich, and people like me better watch their step

Well I've just read every comment on this thread and I'm relieved to realize that our recitation of our National Pledge of Allegience at every opportunity is in-fact seen as totally normal.

High energy usage and a smell of cannabis. If they got a warrant for this raid then there was also a judged who fucked up.

Sounds like the unfiltered 'stream of thought' of an 8 year old.

I'll tell you. It starts with throwing money at ±14 other candidates nobody has ever heard of but whose policy platforms spans the spectrum between the most conservative two candidates and the most progressive. Then the party collectively staggers the primary elections to the point where the progressive candidate can lead and win most of the initial states, but when the party finally comes around to the first state of a moderate size and one of the otherwise less popular conservative candidate suddenly inches ahead, the remaining no-name candidates suddenly drop out, throw their support (and delegates) behind him in a less-than-legal exchange for cabinet positions, so before a large portion of the country even gets a chance to vote, the progressive candidate is told to pull out because there is no possible way he can win enough delegates for the nomination.

When the Democrats say 'don't vote 3rd party because it will split the vote' -that's because they're projecting and it's exactly what they do to ensure a more conservative candidate wins the primary.

Most of us do but unfortunately only about half of us are under the impression that other systems are better and more sustainable. Entrenched financial interests run our government and a large portion of those entrenched interests made their fortunes from this medical system

When I said my biggest problem with the story was the same problem I had with Star Wars, royalty starting wars. My buddy who likes both said they were "Space Operas". I think that's the perfect way to describe them and how they are similar.

—Wait till they find out about Rebel Moon and how it was churned out with the specific intent of creating a space-franchise to capitalise on.
