You can have one in Colorado too; no problem there. Plus: skiing, (mostly) better air, hiking everywhere, and multiple brewpubs in every town it seems.
Downsides: The Colorado Rockies are your team, and the first-frost car accidents when Texans and Californians are on the road.
Poor deluded person. Mostly though…poor.
But enjoy your blindness and rage.
My first vote and I voted 3rd party for Anderson. Reagan beat Carter and the rest is downward US history.
You can vote for your Cinderella candidate, but in the end sometimes the better choice is the one where they’re better positioned to make the little changes. Enough little changes move the ship where it needs to go. Big changes are nearly impossible to pull off.
That’s bogus and you should know it by now. Democrats have since Obama been pushing for a universal health care system, but Republicans keep killing portions and driving in middle-men HMOs.
But hey - you blame who you want. I have good health care now that I left the US. You keep arguing…I’m sure that’ll fix everything one day.
You do know how creating a bill works, right? House, then Senate, then to the President for signing…? The President doesn’t work by edict - this is a democracy, and all parts need to work together. The Republican-led lower House had for decades been too busy creating chaos and not taking their responsibilities to the American people seriously. They support their donors.
Oh, come on! Because others keep voting Republican and blocking Dem efforts for any kind of health reform. Let’s not play games here - we KNOW why.
Did you ever vote Republican? If so, that’s why.
We’re very pro-business here. We talk a lot about it.
We’re also not so consumer friendly - that, you hear decidedly less about.
What? On your “handy”? 😜
I’m baaaad that way.
Meanwhile here next door in the Netherlands, we have wind farms and solar all over, and we sell our energy to the UK…meanwhile we have some of the highest consumer energy costs in the EU.
Consumers get screwed over here a lot.
Okay, I’m clearly ignorant. What’s a “tankie”?
I’ll be retiring soon and move to Asia with the wife. We’ll leave the light on for ya… 👍
25 years I’ve been abroad (The Netherlands) and the work-life balance is why I stayed. They insist I take days off (still foolishly work like an American) and have already booked out a 3 week vacation for later in the year…and I’ll still have nearly 2 weeks of vacation left. We can roll a few weeks of vacation over to the next year if not used. Even though the Dutch have NO holidays from June to Christmas, I’m still able to take 4 day weekends when I want to.
The downside is family left behind may begin to resent you. My family have developed this red-hat victim culture. I can’t bring up how I live abroad or else it starts fights - they don’t want to talk to me now.
Are you the admin? You don’t speak for me, and I’m with OP on this. Maybe you’re in the wrong place, telling others to leave…
Now if I could just find and join the small army keeping Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips going.
The us could use it, but barring a war on its own soil, you’re not going to get it anytime soon. All you can work towards is small changes that accumulate.
You can claim “status quo” all you want but it’s just the same as “not voting sends a message” - it enables the people already there to continue, and honestly, too old or whatever, Biden is the best we’ve got right now.
There’s a great article on NPR about Adam Kinzinger and why he has left politics for now. I’m a Democrat, but I agree with him:
You can wait for the perfect politician all you want, but I’m not letting the cult slip into power and fuck us all up again.
PS: Also, calling Biden a “pre-ascendant facist” - NO. Absolutely not. Not sure where your politics come from, but it’s not any sense of reality. Go live in borderline democracy, or China or Russia (or their adjacent states) and then rethink your definitions.
