  • Even if it doesn’t fix the problem, it’s at least slower, less severe. And not voting isn’t going to change that. It does nothing. It makes no statement, it makes no progress. You feel better not voting for Joe? Cool, so happy for you.

    Ok, first, it is only less severe than something in our heads. Dems aren’t slowing anything. Second: yo, what is this? Who said i wasn’t voting? What’s this attitude youre sending?

    If I’ve done something to raise your ire im prepared to apologize, but if not maybe think about how you present yourself


  • maybe federally. Maybe. They definitely wouldn’t do anything to stop red states from implementing hurtful anti trans laws.

    That is simply a possibility however. But we are in the now, with a Democrat controlling the executive branch. what are Democrats doing with their executive power to stop Republicans in red states from doing whatever they want?

    If youre having a hard time coming up with anything, don’t worry, so are we.

    Is Biden doing anything now? Trans people are hiring now. How can you tell them “well it won’t be better, but it could be way worse” and feel good about what that means to them?


  • I think a lot of the blue no matter who types are following the dem line. You can’t attack Biden, sure. But the point they argue is always pushing ones mind towards the two party system. They don’t want people to even start thinking about talking about 3rd party. Cuz the Democrat’s (the party, not the voters) only platform is being better than Republicans and voting for a third party would ruin their whole thing.

    It’s working too. I had forgotten there even was a green party lol and they’ve been around since before i could vote.

    Sometimes they never get it, even when their actions directly lead to someone they love dying.

    My buddy won’t talk to his brothers anymore because they took their unvaxxed grandmother out to a concert and she got COVID and died a couple years ago. They (from what he said at the time) accepted no blame for this.

    Personally i wonder if the consequences were too horrible for them to accept right away. Maybe with time, but i don’t talk to them either.





  • Could Starbucks eat the pennies of cost difference to make sure everything’s fair with no loss in revenue by moving prices around? Yes.

    Were the cost increases they put on non-dairy milk just enough to cover those costs? No.

    Did they add those costs to hurt people who can’t have dairy? No.

    But, does their profiting by charging more cost people who can’t drink dairy more than people who can? Yes.

    Regardless of their intent here we have a situation wheresome people must pay more for the same drink.

    Let’s not forget starbucks isn’t in any way the good guy here. They’re spending millions on Union busting so they don’t have to pay their workers so they can afford to eat 25c or whatever. If they shouldn’ have to, then should the individual? If you think the individual should, why?
