Except, y'know...if you live in one that does...

Nah, them ordering that stuff is fine, if it's up to standard. What should really light your fires is that they order these from places that grossly overcharge, and don't seem to give a fuck. $5000 for a pair of socks is a joke for a reason.

Keep turning your nose up just like Democrats have been doing for 40 years.

There is a point we shouldn't cross. This doesn't mean we should never take steps towards it. Controlled. Planned. Done with cause. For a better tomorrow. We are at that cusp.

WHICH, my dear potential voters, is why we need to stop fucking arguing with one another and come together, dammit.

It's REALLY easy:

  1. Stop being idiots.

  2. Pressure Biden to use the recent Supreme Court decision to OUR advantage.

  3. Vote Biden into office for another 4-years.

  4. Continue to be fucking geniuses by holding hands and using those 4 years to fix shit.

If those on the Left actually stopped verbally measuring one another's dicks and stood united, they would be a force that the Right could not reckon with. The problem is so many of you keep strutting around, beaks in the air, making damned goose calls while collectively peeing into the wind and complaining that your pants keep getting wet.

Gotta tell ya: The atrocities and stress of war doesn't really seem real until you're hunkered down in a cab because the truck in front of you took an IED, to use just one scenario. I could throw a few more your way if you like.

Having said that, and here's the irony, not everyone in the military is "gonna face bombs and killing". There are huge swaths whose job it is to do anything under the sun that doesn't involve firing any form of weaponry. Chances are you'd have had to been paying attention at some point in school to know this, or something.

War is shit. The military has good and bad people, and often shit practices. For some people it's one of the only ways, in the U.S. at least, to stand even a fleeting chance of doing more than becoming a low-rung manager at Walmart.

To be fair, the difference between a hook cane and sword cane is one can cause bruising up to a concussion, with a low chance of broken bones. While the other creates a sequel to Highlander. So your day might be ruined by one; the other makes sure there is only one.

Oh, no, that thing was six inches so it's definitely the sword you're seeing.

Looked up the answer myself. I suppose yours is a good summation once someone has some knowledge.

Btw, the reason I asked is because we need to stop assuming everyone knows everything, especially about politics. Let's take the few seconds necessary to explain for those that don't know. The impact that will have is hard to measure, though it would likely be quite positive.

Remember folks that this argument falls apart the instant you look at policies. Trump and his cronies will do more damage socially and in every other imaginable way. While not perfect, I feel the Democratic side can be fixed. There is no fixing the vicious and malicious mockery that is the modern Republican Party. For now, and if we fight, the Democrats do still listen when under pressure at least some of the time.

So let's start artificially creating that supply, by demanding.

I still want him to go full Dark Brandon and save his race by being a complete and unmitigated lunatic pointed at Trump and the GOP.

BUT...

...if you all want him to drop out, you need to push collectively. He has given in before.

Oh well that's easy:

They had connections.

Networking is a bitch.
