To actually understand you’d have to have been following politics pre 9/11, which would make you probably 16 at the time. That means 39 right now. That’s a lot of adults you’re ruling out.
If you want to say understand society pre and post 9/11, then you’re probably talking 12 at the time, so 35 right now. Still a lot of adults you’re ruling out.
Huh don’t recall this. Was it a big deal at the time?
Also from Amazon description:
Courts: The authors have insider knowledge of how Obama will pack the Supreme Court and lower courts with activist judges who will overstep their constitutional authority.
Lol.

There’s a reason why they keep saying that recently, they don’t want democracy. They want to backflip themselves into selecting how leaders are chosen and who gets to choose.
The problem is that Dems have had control of all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) for only 4 years of the last 24 years. When you don’t have all 3 you are forced to reach across the aisle.
*If you include Bill Clinton then it’s 6 years of the last 32 years. If you include Bush senior and Reagan, then it’s 6 years of the last 44 fucking years.
You had the first 2 years of Obama. Obama’s thanks for the ACA was voters not showing up and losing the house of representatives for year 3 and 4. And again for year 5 and 6. And then both the house and Senate in years 7 and 8. Congress is what passes laws and has power. They even shut down the freaking government under Obama.
Is this the conversation where I said dems have had control for 4 years of the last 24 years? Yeah it is. Dude they are forced to reach across the aisle. Because they have lost control for 20 years of the last 24 years. That’s how Congress works, if you don’t have all 3 then you are forced to reach across the aisle and compromise. I’ll say it again, forced to. Because left voters never show up.
No matter how much you gripe, that’s how it works. So if you want them to do left things, then give them all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) consistently and overwhelmingly. It’s that simple.
(Want to go back further and include Bill Clinton? Then Dems have had control for 6 years of the last 32. Want to include Bush senior and Reagan? Then it’s 6 years of the last 44 fucking years. Read that again: Dems have had control for 6 measly years of the last 44 fucking years. And you wonder why we have slow progress?)
I think that’s bad faith to talk as if coal and ng are the same level of dirty (oh you just come out and say it’s worse lol), so I’m out. Coal is ludicrously dirty. Just ridiculous. You have no idea. Even coal mining releases methane, which is intentionally vented.
Everytime the Dems lose, they go to the center to find votes. And they find them! That’s how Bill Clinton won, he went to the center (some say right, whatever). Gore went a little left and then lost. So Obama learned to not run left and instead ran on broad “hope”. His reward for passing the ACA was losing Congress for his last 6 years. Thanks voters. Clinton went a little left on climate change, supposedly the important issue for the left, and lost. So Biden learned to not run left, and he won!
Every time the Dems go left they lose. So they go to the center to find voters and they find them. And you wonder why they go to the center?
Previous discussions have informed me that at a certain point of wealth, you no longer consider yourself part of the “black class” and you instead consider yourself part of the “wealthy class”.
What’s the tldr?
They reach across the aisle because they basically never have control of Congress. Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything. When they don’t have all 3, they have to reach across the aisle to pass anything. So guess how long they’ve had all 3? They’ve had it for 4 years of the last 24 years.
And if they didn’t reach across, guess what happens. The GOP shuts down the government like they did to Obama.
So what can you do move things left? Give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories in all 3 houses.
I threw pinecones at birds that were picking at the window for some reason. I think it short circuits their brain to see an object coming at them. They haven’t been back since.
If they survived that is.
Chips act, drug control prices, non competes banned, green energy, going for Roe, student debt reform, weed, PACT act, etc, etc, Get outta here with that bothsidessame oh he tried the “American left pretty bad” instead.
Had to hunt for it but can can finally find the 2008 and 2020 dips in oil.
Ng has half the CO2 and pretty much eliminates the others like NOx, SOx, PM, etc. Yes leaking can be an issue but there’s obvious incentive to not have leaks, you can place power plants close to the ng source, etc. Coal can never be clean.
But bothsidessame? Right??
The hell are you on to think that’s a canned message.
