smelling like an ashtray

Ugh, casinos. My friend is a dealer at a local casino and makes a lot of money in tips. He was trying to entice to apply, and I almost did, untill I read the description and requirements. It listed second hand smoke exposure as one of the "responsibilities" and it reminded me of what I hate most about casinos. After a few hours my mouth tastes like an ashtray smells.

    "But, the R next to his name!"

    Seriously though, Trump has done so much worse and still got elected twice. I doubt MAGA voters do any research on the candidates and vote all Republican.

    All that doesn't matter if there isn't an election in 2028. Remember when Trump said he "shouldn't have left" the White House when he lost the election in 2020. Imagine what his plans are this time around.

    For those out of the loop:

    LITITZ, Pa. (AP) — Donald Trump delivered a profane and conspiracy-laden speech two days before Tuesday’s presidential election, talking about reporters being shot and suggesting he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

    In remarks Sunday that bore little resemblance to the speech he’s been delivering at his recent rallies, the former president repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and resurrected old grievances after trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Trump intensified his verbal attacks on what he cast as a “demonic” Democratic Party and the American media, steering his rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at one point to the topic of violence against members of the press.

    Trump has called Americans’ affordability concerns a Democratic “hoax.”

    I can't believe his supporters take him seriously. Gas/grocery prices at record highs and he calls it a Democratic hoax. LOL!

    The conversation I was responding to was comparing Republicans vs. Democrats. Someone was trying to make it seem they're the same. I was just offering a counterpoint.

    yes, broadly dems fight for lgbtq ... when it's beneficial to them. For most Dems, lgbtq rights are just a bargaining chip

    As opposed to Republicans, which actively oppose any LGBTQ rights. They are nowhere near the same.

    not embedded into the platform as it is for DSA

    As far as I'm aware there is no official DSA party (correct me if I'm wrong), the DSA aligned candidates usually run as a Democrat. Have any ever ran as a Republican?

    The Democrats fought for same sex marriage when the Republicans have always been anti-LGBTQ. Republicans spent so much money on ads that lied about us wanting to marry animals, etc. and the Democrats were still able to push it through.
