Didn't you say that you couldn't vote for who you wanted to vote for a while back? All while wringing your hands about Democrat censorship because your party couldn't be assed to properly register and fulfill the requirements for appearing on the ballot?

Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

So, if you couldn't vote for your third party candidate, who did you vote for?

I fully expect that "gaining" we're seeing will shift as reputable pollsters release updated polls this week and drown out the ring-wing polls that flooded the data the last 2 weeks.

You do know that the electronic vote counts are audited, right?

There's a process to validate that the machines are counting correctly.

Is that farmer flannel or grunge flannel?

Yes, and?

"Highly masculine" comes off as "toxic masculinity".

Having to parade your manliness and let people know you're "so manly" isn't a sign of insecurity at all.

It's like those guys that are "so masculine" that they don't wipe their asses cus it's gay or something.

That's a laughable bad take.

The left, known for picking apart their candidates and platforms and fucking themselves by letting perfect the enemy of good repeatedly being called out as "cult-like".

I'm voting for Harris. But lemme tell you, I've got issues with her. Especially her history as "pro cop".

The thing is, many people on the left vote for "harm reduction". We know there's better candidates out there, but we're stuck with what we've got in the FPTP voting we have.

Objectively, voting for Harris will cause the least harm in this election.

Especially if our alternative is a ratfucking tyrant that wants to be a "dictator", wants to "ban protests", revoke the broadcast licenses of media outlets critical of him & his party, would authorize Israel to wipe out Gaza with our direct support of our troops, would consolidate wealth to the top, and is openly working with the deranged likes of a man that dreams of making his workers indentured servants and would push the USA to reflect apartheid South Africa to relive the glory his father did.

WTF is "Blue MAGA"?

I don't see people on the left holding onto what was and getting stuck on reverting to times of old. Preventing the forward march of changing times.

A few years back I was training to ride the Seattle to Portland in the 1-day format. Had a training regimen I put together and was steadily progressing and building endurance and strength.

One day I go on a training ride on a very cold and rainy December day in Seattle. Decide to take the trail that rides through the train yard then pedal up to the docks.

As I'm riding along the trail there's this segment that crosses some train tracks at an angle. The temperature is also colder here next to the shore than by my home and the rain here is mixed with snow.

Having ridden this segment dozens if not a couple hundred times in rain or shine, I didn't think too much of it. However the added mix of snow and colder temps caused those rails to become the slickest surface known to man.

I come up to the gentle curve at speed, my front tire hits the rail of the track and my bike goes sideways while I continue moving forward. I land in puddle on my right side and then the water acts like a slip-N-slide on the blacktop and I proceed to slide along the trail at speed and slam head first, which deflected to the side, then followed up to my right shoulder, into a bollard.

I was wearing a helmet when this happened and I still laid dazed in that cold ass puddle for a good 2-3 minutes before standing up, pulling myself together, and called my wife to pick me up and take me to the ER to get the confirmation that I had a concussion and to rule out anything worse. My shoulder was also bruised and sore for a good week.

Even with the helmet, I had memory issues for 6-10 months.

If I weren't wearing a helmet I'm not sure I'd be here telling this story. If I were to have survived I would have had some serious trauma and recovery if not permanent damage.

Madison Square Garden is a private event venue. They can accept or deny anybody they like. Their acceptance, or rejection, of a political candidate will also have nothing-to-fucking-do with "democracy" or free speech.

Sealion infestations are problematic. Be sure to call your local exterminator promptly whenever you encounter one.
