The reason the "radicals" (insert other or more categories or demographics here as per the discussion at hand; students, muslims, progressives etc) didn't vote for the democrats is because the democrats weren't "vocal enough" in their "support of gaza."

They were actively hostile toward gaza.

What support of gaza are you motherfuckers talking about? You couldn't stop arming Israel! Doing nothing would have been better than giving bombs to Israel. Doing nothing still wouldn't have been "support for gaza" you motherfuckers. A thousand thousand times have I read their chiding bullshit over the decades. "Politics is not a zero sum game" blah dee fucking blah. "I can care about more than one thing at once" "the left is too focused on ideological purity" etc etc etc.

I guess this is their new ass-covering step in their eternal Dance of Denying Culpability. Look forward to reading it as things continue. I know I fucking am.

His name is Lester and I feel like we should adopt him as an unofficial site mascot. Along with Crow T Robot.

Who else do you think sorta summarizes Hexbear in appearance and attitude from various media? And be specific. Don't just say "raccoons" (even though we all know raccoons is the best fit.)

Discuss!

The democrats would have tripped over themselves crying about it and appealing to norms and civility and their usual gormless bullshit and Kamala would have eaten shit even harder.

And instead of shouting "read the room!" the DNC consultant and liberal pundit classes would have gone along for that ride because they are just as clueless as their bosses.

What's new and what's good, comrades? It was kinda nice being away for the entire election bullshit but otherwise I'm playing catch up for the last 30 days.

I hope you all have been well and you have instituted fully automated luxury communism (with gay characteristics) in my absence.

I got caught drinking again. It feels better to come clean about it. I'm tired of being a drunk mess. It takes so much energy to be a functional alcoholic. Please don't do what I did when faced with this genocide reality. Its so hard. You just want to push it aside. Don't fall into the self medication trap. Its a trap and it will fuck you! Christ I am still so fucked up and I try not to do the "drunk posting" thing. I smashed a glass thing and picked through the glass to find something worthy, something with a cutting edge, because concerned relatives already emptied my gun closet and took them away. I'm bleak as hell right now. I want to be ethered. something where I can go away but I won't fuck up my family by doing it. But thats selfish. I'm a communist. I can't do that to myself because I don't want it to bounce back on other people. Communism is why I don't slouch and let myself slide into these pits. I need to be here for the rest of y'all. The hiding takes so much energy away from myself. I'm so tired of the selfish act of nipping a bott;e. Im very sorry but theres nowhere else to post it

I hope I helped somebody else laugh. Like when you re-read what I wrote I was just trying to have a positive energy or I was doing a bit

I read awhile that they call these things "deaths of despair." for whatits worth I get that. I finally get that. But we aren't alone. Im fucked up but I won't be part of that grim tally. I refuse that.

Huckleberry is the Sunspider that runs into my bathroom whenever I take a shit at night and tries to hide in the shadow under my feet. She also runs around my desk sometimes. Huckleberry's body and head (not including legs) is about 2cm long, which is about as big they get where I live. The front pair of legs aren't actually legs - they are called "pedipalps" and she holds them up while running around to touch stuff like a little kid doing airplane arms. She zooms around eating dust mites and other small bugs and is very fast. Huckleberry is an arachnid but closer in relation to a scorpion than a spider. She has no venom and spins no web preferring to hunt and explore.

You may also know these fine creatures by other names: Whipscorpion or Camel Spider.

So say hi to Huckleberry, she is nice.

It was a Pandadería and it sold Chinese bears

But would they?

I mean, really?

Fuck you, God, you're not my real dad.

Every so often some synapse decides to zap my brain and I think about the "black folk ain't having no Bernie" tweet.

Was it a tweet? I can't remember anymore. But I still remember that line. Just at random. Apropos of nothing. Not even in a "hey remember that?" sorta way. Instead it just fires off and disappears almost as quickly as it appeared.

How about y'all?

How do they do it? You'd think running that slogan for years would have laid some kind of framework for being ready for an alternative doormat-being they can shit out into the oval office.

I mean, if people followed that slogan they wouldn't need Biden.

What gives? Wrong answers also welcome.
