I think the rightward shift in deep blue districts is the real story here, people who have experienced Democrat rule up close and personal swinging like 20 points away from it. A less polarizing GOP nominee might have gotten a real landslide, especially considering Trump was running against the ent... |

I guess I am completely out of touch. I always thought the President was supposed to set a good example of morals to emulate. Now we have a rapist, felon, and a person who cheated on his wife with a porn star and a leader who thinks it's OK to grab a woman by the puxxy. According to him they love i... |

Biden dropped out too late and Harris didn't have enough time to get her policies out there to get enough support. But I voted for her regardless because I will vote for anyone who isn't Trump, even a bear. And that is something we cannot wrap our minds too. Harris' policies were similar to Biden's... |

If Trump has any intention of going after Colorado's weed laws, I'm sure he'd want to go after us in Washington, too. That's when we should demand... STATES RIGHTS!! ! :lol: This time, it aint about lynching people of the perceived wrong color. The right only cares about states' rights and "sm... |

This is why there are no protests. We tried but now we're going to sit back and watch the leopards eat their faces. I won't argue with the right wing anymore and not discuss anything with them. Why bother? I will just talk about current politics while ignoring the MAGAs in the room. This is much be... |

The Lutheran Church (ELCA), of which I have been with for nearly 23 years, is on the progressive end of the spectrum--supportive of LGBTQ+ rights, no strong stance on abortion. It shaped the political progressivism I support now. The pushing of purity culture is my primary issue with evangelicals an... |

Polis and Denver's mayor are my new heroes.
I hope John Whitmire does the same, and sticks it to both Trump and Abbott. |

Traveling abroad on a vacation shouldn't be an issue. Emigration is tough, due to many countries having strict requirements. But as far as I know, none explicitly bar people on the spectrum from moving. Traditionally, Japan has been the most difficult of the industrialized nations, but because of lo... |

Hello, I'm an ex-Okie. I was born and raised there and only just recently made my escape. It's a sad place, Oklahoma. I lived near Tulsa in a nice suburb. It's a suburb that has grown rapidly since I was a child. It's practically unrecognizable now, but not in a bad way (well... depends on your tas... |

I used to have a Twitter, but I very rarely used it.
I certainly wouldn't start an X account now. I hope X's former HQ in San Francisco can be used for affordable housing. |

It occurs to me that in the 70s (more or less) nudity (female) became a routine part of TV broadcasting in parts of Western Europe, like for example a naked woman might appear in an ad for perfume. In fact that apparently still goes on https://youlookfab.com/2010/04/09/nudity-and-sexuality-in-europ... |
