Democrats still have 23 governorships, control 37% of state legislatures, and 40% of state chambers. Six of the ten most populous states have 2 Democrat senators, three have Republican senators, and one is split. The house is split 219 Republican to 212 Democrat, but the Democrats represent a much larger portion of the population.
The point is, Democrats are far from being out of the game. Nobody else comes close to having a chance of beating Republicans in an election.
It works pretty well for most things. The extra creamy oat milk has lower fat and protein than even 2% milk, so it doesn't work well for things like bechamel sauces or custards that depend on the fats to thicken up. Adding a little butter can make up for it though. I've seen quite a few recipes including substitution instructions for oat and nut milk.
I usually drank whole milk. I've found I like the Planet Oat extra creamy to be the best. I actually prefer making mac n cheese with it over milk!
Funny enough I started drinking oat milk to save money. I don't go through milk very fast, so it often ended up spoiling. Oat milk has a longer shelf life, so I actually use up what I buy.
Not allowing choke holds isn't superficial. Body cams aren't superficial. They cut down on police use of force and citizen complaints. They also cost money. Better trained police costs money. Sending out social workers with police on domestic calls costs money ,and makes a huge difference in the quality of policing.
The only substantial reduction in policing cost is cutting back on the drug war and most left leaning states are doing that. (Reducing numbers of police would do it but most states have similar per capita number of police as Europe).
There is no doubt we have a long way to go on police reform, but to say there has been no progress simply isn't true.
There's only two choices under the current system and the other one is kidnapping people to put in concentration camps right now. The only chance to change the current system without open armed conflict is the Democrats.
I hate it but, until March or April (depending on the poll) a majority of the country still supported Israel.
Democrats regularly raise taxes on the rich and Republicans regularly raise them. Democrats regularly push for prison reform and things like cashless bail. Republicans regularly push for harsher sentencing and reductions in per-prisoner spending. Compare a map of state minimum wages to their political alignment.
If you want Democrats to act on these things more, we have to get obstructionist Republicans out of office.
I hate it but it's happening no matter who is in power. Best we can do is a party who isn't going to throw immigrants in concentration camps.
Right, that's what I meant
At the same time, we spend $5.2 billion a year to provide 2.4 billion breakfasts in over 90,000 schools and residential child care institutions. $3.3 million more could feed a lot of hungry kids.
Could be, but isn't.
Luna is a 3 year old standard poodle. We have had her for 3 weeks and I already can't imagine life without her.
Unpayable debt accruing interest. What a fucking joke.
