  • Do. Not. Trust. Polls.

    DO. NOT. TRUST. POLLS.

    This feels like a fucking repeat of the 2024 election. The internet naively believing they know the outcome, because certainly people can’t be that ignorant and shitty, can they?

    They can.

    They are.

    Go talk to people in the real world, instead of reading articles written by fellow shut-ins, and realize that the narrative is FAR different for the average person. You people are setting yourselves up for disappointment. Again.

    My prediction is the Dems will pick up just barely enough seats to take back control of the House. Not a snowballs chance in hell of taking back the Senate.










  • I’m going to write a letter saying “Hegseth is a bad man and should be punished”. Then I’ll crumple it up and throw it into the ocean.

    You should be happy with that, right? I mean, I’m doing SOMETHING and it will have the same impact as bringing articles of impeachment. In fact, my way is more efficient since no legislative time would need to be spent to do this meaningless act.

    “Send a message”? “Important to have a record”? What the fuck have you all been smoking over the last 10 years that you think that means jack shit anymore?








  • Part of me agrees with this, part of me thinks that these people are too far into the weeds to know what’s possible. Change brings chaos. And when you’re at your stressful job with a shitty machine that you are constantly trying to keep running, eventually you reach a point where the thought of turning off the machine is unthinkable.

    From an outside perspective, it seems obvious. The machine is bad. We should get rid of it and try something different. But that concept is terrifying to the people who work on the machine. Turn it off? But they’ve spent years learning how to work with the machine! They know how to sometimes get the machine to do what they want! If they replace the machine with something else, what if they can’t figure out how to work the new system? Maybe someday they can replace the machine, but right now? In the middle of everything else? No, no, far too risky. Best to try to keep working with the same old machine.
