Don't threaten me with a good time
Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days
Everyone has an equal vote in the US
False. Someone in North Dakota has a lot more power in their vote than someone in California.
But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile. - Patrick O'Brien
We also do it to ourselves. Everyone has someone in their life they’d rather mute. But they’re forced to coexist with them. Online is so appealing because you can find communities of like minded individuals. Then forget all about those other opinions you don’t like.
Groups with just things we agree with wouldn't explain it. What happens is we go into groups of people we agree with and then post memes about the other side that everyone agrees with. We get a caricature of the opposition that is reinforced.
As evidence, just look how much news about Trump gets posted to liberal places. If you don't want to hear about him that's the last place you should go.
I've voted in every primary and local election since the year 2000 and had a Kucinich for President bumper sticker and I still complain about the choices because my preferred candidate has never won. Ever.
Mitch McConnell specifically refused to allow Obama to appoint a justice while there was an election going on.
I think this is mostly an unforced error on the part of neoliberalism, specifically 3rd way political ideology. In the 80s and 90s 3rd way politics grew as an idea to work around congressional gridlock.
I agree with this, and would also point to the same thing happening all over the world.
For nostalgia's sake I watched a YouTube video of [adult swim] complete with original commercials and bumpers. Even though I specifically requested commercials they were pretty terrible and I ended up skipping them anyway.
To paraphrase Scott Manley; they got the rocket science down but need to work on their bolt science

They aren’t as efficient at generating rent due to their maintenance and upkeep costs, so real estate holdings firms are hell bent on liquidating them, subdividing them, and redeveloping the land piecemeal in ways that better optimize for fine access control and not having to take care of any “dead” non-money-making spaces such as the concourses between the stores. Instead: just parking lots between store fronts.
This is what happened near me. The malls got turned inside out, so it's just big boxes around a giant parking lot.
It'll be parts of the military versus other parts of the military, and both sides arming guerilla fighters.
I've seen everything Trump posts on Truth Social despite never having installed the app.
I also don't have Twitter but I see a lot of those, too.
You forgot C: Won't even hear about it because it doesn't involve Trump spouting coprophilic glossolalia and we lack the attention span to understand what's happening
The good news: We have some small modicum of control.
The bad news: Control involves pain, disappointment, frustration, anger, and a whole bunch of mental anguish that people who don't pay attention to politics don't have to deal with.
The good news is that it's only gone up from 65%
If we're asking for things that will never happen I would like a unicorn that shits Lucky Charms
