Sounds like they found different words to say "tariffs rob you" and "draconian abortion restrictions endanger all pregnant people and their doctors" and "for-profit healthcare neglects communities" and "stealing from public education to enrich religions and corporations cheats you and your children" and "high gas prices create high food prices" and "data centers steal and destroy farmland and watersheds." Good for them. Whatever it takes to help people understand.

    I never said those things. I did say, "Well damn, my party would rather run a black man than a woman," and twice I've said, "Well damn, our country would rather elect a criminal than a woman."

    Make that three times. I was around for Shirley Chisolm's run (but not old enough to vote) and like everyone else I knew a black woman couldn't get nominated in 1972. The Dems ran George McGovern instead, and Richard Nixon won in a landslide.

    Like I said, for the boys the bar is on the floor.

    Agreed. The misogyny still runs deep in this country, usually expressed as, "She's just not a good candidate!"

    The bar is on the floor, for boys. We already know what kinds of men can and have been good enough to get elected. It takes Penis to spell President, apparently, and it doesn't matter that it's out of order.

    He's already paying for Mars, just tell him you've solved all the safety issues and his private rocket is all ready. He can take anyone he likes with him, they just have to be able to buy their own tickets, don't want any non-billionaires along.
