They know to fall in-line because a strong Republican Party helps all of them, from the president, all the way down the line to locally elected candidates.

Why can’t Democrats see this?

Home ownership in the US has hovered between low 60% and high 60% for around 6 decades now, but sure, let’s pretend that it ain’t possible no more because some people only want to post doom-and-gloom bullshit because they have ulterior motives.

This should be a wake up call to the DNC brass and to people on social media who have been blindly claiming that Republican voters are only rich white old men.

Not only is that stereotype simply not accurate, but this endless and insufferable focus from the Left of only chasing social issues is turning off a whole bunch of regular folks out there. Instead of championing causes that can help literally millions of people out there, time and time again the Left is worrying about bullshit like pronouns and drag queens. Dems are constantly assuming that just because someone is br9wn or black that they will agree with core Democratic party policies. The reality is that there are many folks from minority ethnic groups who are conservative or moderate and they see the Dems wasting all their time and effort on these fringe groups.

I always think of it like Pokemon. I want to collect them all.

But it’s hard to say goodbye!

The CEO said collecting vintage cars.

I know people aren’t going to believe this, but honestly, you don’t need to be a bazillionaire to collect vintage cars. It sure helps (a lot!!), but depending upon what he was collecting, you can buy certain classics for (relatively speaking) cheap.

The director at my old company was into classic cars too and we would shoot-the-shit all the time about his cars and mine.

I heard this years later by my former boss. He used to work for a company that just announced some lay-offs because work was slow. Right as the lay-offs were being announced the head of the company pulled into the lot with his new Porsche lease. It was terrible timing, but the corporate lease was up and the car was ordered months prior. Just made the owner look especially tone-deaf since the car came the same say as the lay-off announcement.

If 1 person has a question, then chances are good most people have that same question but are too afraid to ask it in front of everyone.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Fuck Haley, but she is right about the nursing home part. But there is a fix that Americans don’t want to admit - their voting - or LACK OF voting - is what is keeping these elderly Senators in office. Of course she is an opportunist twat that is only saying this to try to hit at Biden indirectly by bringing up the age issue.

I have been talking about this for a while now. The video is interesting in how it breaks down some of the issues (how vegans indirectly challenge accepted norms and traditions), but I think one thing they missed is very important. And it isn’t unique to vegans. HOW vegans act is incredibly grating to others, and the bigger picture is that this is how many liberal groups act leaves a bad taste in the mouth of more centrist people.

In the video the lady mentions how vegans can be seen as pushy and self-righteous. Again, it isn’t just vegans. Liberals are terrible at connecting with the general public. As she mentions in the beginning of the video, most people consider themselves animal lovers to some degree, so how can groups like PETA be so hated. There are the issues that she mentions about going against societal norms and subconsciously bringing up the thought that people who eat animals also state they love animals, but I think a huge part of it is also HOW groups like PETA spread their message. They use in-your-face abrasive tactics.

And other liberal groups do the same. There are those environmentalists who block entire highways to spread their message. They aren’t accomplishing anything other than turn people who might sympathize with their cause and turn them against them. They block tired people who just want to get home from work and force them to sit in traffic for these protest. Their tactics breed animosity.

Liberals (especially in the US) need to take a long, hard look at how they spread their message and need to change their tactics quickly. They are doing more harm than good.

No way would that kid be frowning. If this was legitimately in the late 70s or early 80s that kid would be ecstatic with the graphics.

But WHY? God I can not understand why someone would willingly use iOS. I have both an Android and iPhone and every time I pick up the iPhone I wonder why anyone would use this willingly.

TNG > OG series any day, everyday.

This isn’t even the last word in this nonsense.

The latest is that Musk, who clearly never knows when to shut the fuck up, called Zuck a coward when Zuck essentially offered Musk an “out” by saying to move on.

Hate both these fucks, but Zuck would destroy Elon. Time and again Zuck is giving Elon a way out of this and time and again Elon finds a way to look like an even bigger loser.

Getting beat by Zuck is going to push Elon past “deluded rich douchebag” to full-on Bond villain, I fear.

So you’re saying CEOs aren’t Republican?

This link says that 70% of CEOs are Republican and CEOs have direct control over a company’s labor force. Maximizing profits for shareholder profit is what CEOs do, and shipping jobs overseas is the easiest, and laziest, ways of doing that.

They did that with the infrastructure bill. Republicans were literally fighting it tooth-and-nail one day, and the very next day they were back in their home state taking credit for it. And this has been a common practice for them for decades now. And they always never get called-out on it by the media.

Yes, but ADVERTISE it. Sell your accomplishments because lord knows, no one else will. The news media has been actively attacking stuff that Biden has done while giving Trump one free-pass after another. The news media is not on our side. So if they won’t celebrate Democratic wins, Democrats need to, and turn it into a big deal.

The members of those same labor unions will “reward” Biden by voting for Trump. The number of workers in the trades who are blind MAGAts is astonishing.

This move will not change that.

And it doesn’t help that Democrats will do nothing to sell this news to these people either. As always Democrats act like their accomplishments are like the 7 herbs and spices in the KFC recipe or the special formula for Coke… well hidden so no one finds out about it.

I’m a left leaning tech enthusiast and I’m also a hard-core car guy. I

I don’t really see those two groups being mutually exclusive.
