While you’re off, if you like classic literature, I can recommend Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden” to get more in touch with yourself, nature, and the world around you.

I’d recommend that you take a look at how other democracies do it. Especially the economically and socially successful countries in Europe. The US can learn a lot. But to one side of the aisle that’s “radical socialism.”

I hope I’ve bought my last gasoline car.

I’m gonna go for universal healthcare and affordable college education.

Manila palm (aka Christmas palm) for anyone who might one of those trees at home.

As California goes, so goes the nation. Conservatives don’t like this.

If it wasn’t for the high cost of living, I’d move to California as well. Still hope I’ll make it there some day.

And finally imagine you in a place like that.

You don’t even have to imagine. That’s the reality of the United States in 2023 and has been for a long time.

Over the past 30 years, technology has taken extensive leaps forward. Except for printers and printer drivers. Still stuck in 1990.

Sounds like you live in a place with very hard water and you’re having problems with mineral deposits.

If so, try dishwater salt (not table salt) or vinegar.

They said while commenting…

Definitely. But that’s not the point of the article.

From what I can tell, this is the point:

In the New York Times/Siena poll released last week, Biden failed to win majority support from non-white voters who hadn’t graduated from college.

– His lead over Trump with this once-heavily Democratic constituency is just 16 points (49%–33%).

– In 2020, Biden dominated Trump with these voters, winning by an overwhelming 48-point margin, according to an analysis by the Democratic data firm Catalist.

– Obama won non-white working-class voters by a whopping 67-point margin in 2012.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. “It’s, like, incredible.”

It’s easy to figure out what the Republican Party doesn’t want. They never tell me what they actually want.

We don’t know if a president can pardon themselves. Has never been done. Trump would surely try, though.

The fact that we’re even talking about this is completely embarrassing. I’m not sure any other country can really take this country’s democracy serious anymore.

Not the worst place to be stuck.

If Trump had been president, this exact same economy would have been the best ever.

Probably $2 for the mug, $20 toward the campaign.

Democrats have no chance in just about anywhere rural.

Democrats are doing very well in just about all rural areas of New England.

New England is obviously different culturally than many other areas of the US, but Dems could definitely take some valuable lessons from that area.
