Where along the DNC’s journey to the right do you hop off? Is it never? When do you hop off the electoral trend and join the Revolutionary trend?
And what is this revolutionary trend doing? Is there a plan? Because “let’s get Trump elected and hope for the best” really isn’t a great pitch

It’s not a matter of politics. We could be voting on which salad dressing to use, and FPTP will always devolve into only two parties (Caesar and Italian, perhaps?). Go read those links I shared.
And without something like RCV, the greens can never win.
You’re presenting a safe with the key locked inside.
There was a rumor to that effect, yes. But I think it was mostly a meme 😂
largest obstacle maintaining duopoly
The duopoly is maintained by First Past the Post. If we want meaningful change, we must change the voting system.

Hollywood budgets are insane these days.
I watched Godzilla -1. That movie was fucking boss, and apparently its budget was only $15 million. That’s less than they spent removing the CGI buttholes from Cats.
I’d try curried eggs bengal
Because they already raised hundreds of millions from investors
…budgeting? Y’all don’t just buy the meatiest beefcake PSU that microcenter has in stock?

2027: Change your direct deposit to this routing number and account number
I have (what I believe) is considered “very good” insurance. I pay $100 a month for premiums.
When my child was born, there were some complications and we needed to move to another hospital for emergency surgery.
The birth: ~$2500 deductible/copay/whatever you want to call it. I think this is all I would’ve had to pay if there weren’t more complications.
Surgery and aftercare for baby: ~$5600
Care for momma: ~$2000
But here’s a crazy twist. When moving hospitals, we rode in an ambulance. But this was an “out of network ambulance”. What the hell is even that? Under what circumstances do you have a say in which ambulance you ride?
Out of network ambulance ride: $4500
Basically it’s all just bullshit.
The insurance companies having more say than doctors about what procedures you can and can’t get is peak insanity, and yet here we are.
Yeah the pledge is definitely weird.
Eh I don’t buy that, at least not as the primary goal. It’s more a side effect of the structure and resources of a class. When the classrooms were built to support 18 students per class, and the teacher’s union contract says they’ll have a max of 25 students per class, but in actuality they have 31 students per class, kids sharing desks and bumping elbows, yeah we kinda need all 31 of those kids to sit down and buckle up, or no one at all is going to get any learning done.
Is it the ideal learning environment for every student? Nope. Is it the ideal learning environment for any student? Probably not. But unless we’re willing to invest more in education, it’s what we’re working with.
I think they want kids to pay attention in class
Yep. But at least you can claim that on your taxes! Only up to $300 per year though.
(Spoiler alert: it’s always more than $300 a year)
