  • As you can see by my username. I grew up in the South and dealt with this all the time.

    A couple of years ago , I told someone I worked in the green tech industry and he threatened to slit my throat right there.

    I’m applying to PhD programs out of the country and I’m really far into one interview process.

    Comrades, you need to know how to protect yourself. Even if you live somewhere safe or escaping to somewhere safe these people will try to come after you. Protect yourself and your loved ones. You can’t reason with the unreasonable.




  • That way, you can placate either side that will use public voter roll information to hunt their opposition.

    I proposed this exact thing to my friends a few months ago.

    I will know tomorrow if I get a job overseas. I’m not playing this game anymore. I’m an older one and I don’t have much left in me to deal with this anymore. I feel like I am at the 90 mile marker on a 100 mile run.









  • Nate Silver did mention that he believes the NYT thinks there is a political realignment, with white color voters in suburbs being Dem while rural and blue collar workers vote GOP regardless of race. We did see the GOP wanting to do this in 2016 after Romney lost in 2012. Trump, despite his insane hatred of marginalized groups, is now taking these groups in thanks to Dems taking them for granted. It is believed these vorers vote in presidential elections, not midterms.

    Nate silver has also gone back and forth on if this is a good idea. For midterms, yeah I see it working but for presidential elections? Absolutely not. And considering how insanely powerful the president is, nothing else really matters.

    TLDR: Dems fucking love losing.



  • I remember all the online elections threads since 2016. The amount of liberal infighting when things look like they are going south is unbelievable. The second Trump took Florida they were calling for progressive heads in 2020.

    ArrNeoliberal, ArrFiveThirtyEight, and ArrFriendsFromThePod will be absolutely insufferable on election night.

    I’m giving Trump a 70% chance to win. The only solace if Trump wins will be lib tears ngl.


  • It was my birthday last week and I was out of the country. I was having a shitty day and one of the Harris phone bankers called me. I kept telling them now is absolutely not a good time and they kept talking over me.

    I hate yelling at people over the phone but I was not having it; it’s become so fucking common to try to talk over people now. I hate it. Always like to play victim too when someone doesn’t deal with their shitty behavior either 🙄
