Apparently, ABC 'accidentally' broadcast election results early again...

Have you ever thought that most of the drivers these days are on antidepressants. I bet this is going to be another exceptional year for big pharma,at least in CA. Disclaimer: I understand some have a legitimate need, but it seems excessive. Maybe it’s just edibles, still scary and annoying.

She is definitely too liberal for me, but she is light years better than harris.

Different people have differing thought processes.

This morning, I heard an interview with a woman who stated (paraphrasing) "I voted for Trump in 2016, and my 401k did well when he was in office, not so much under Biden, but we really need a President with better character."

If you have ever studied economics, then you know about the Rationality Assumption.

If you have ever met people, then you understand why economists are often baffled by how they actually behave in the real world.

X.com is the number 1 source of news in the world right now, and there's a reason for that. The news about election interference is really shocking.

Serious question: Did you not understand that prior to RFKj stating it?

What I don't understand is how so many Democrats can turn a blind eye to the blatant resistance to making voting more secure. Who is stupid enough to think i.d. is racist? It's hugely insulting to minority groups.

It's like the silence you hear from feminists when a trans athlete destroys an actual female. It's a whole party of weaklings, whiners and liars who couldn't survive without a government handout. It's either that, or the collective psychosis that RFK jr. describes. There are so many examples, I gotta think that they're just weak human beings.

A good majority of the "good guy" Democrats truly believe (because it's been repeated by their peers so frequently) that most black and brown people are unable (read: too stupid) to get an ID. Citing lack of access to the internet helps them rationalize this, even though it's 2024 and everyone carries a ******* computer in their pocket these days.

It's wild.

Democrats are the party of the KKK, Jim Crow, the generational welfare systems, the breakdown of the black family, the demonization of Christianity, the useless education system.....

The dem's want to protect the less intelligent that can't get an ID, and their vote, you know their vote. When citizens are dependent, they are easy to buy and less expensive.
