@Kistaro also, the implication that poor people are uniquely bigoted is wrong when it actually tends to be the rich and "dapper" and powerful ones; also, the dnc can barely even commit to a weak platform while people are clearly demanding change in any form; also, the worst things tend to get broad bipartisan support anyway; etc etc

I am genuinely afraid that the DNC will lose seats in the midterms because they never regained the trust of the impoverished people they are sincerely attempting to support and improve the lives of through their policies, but they denounced as “deplorables” and ignored subsequently. Rural poor are poor.
It’s so frustrating to watch people I’ve known for years, who grew up resisting authority and distrusting government, start believing professional politicians, marketers, and other liars who would own society just because they started stealing your words and wearing your clothes.
Politics hasn’t changed. Those who would rule did not magically become trustworthy. You just suddenly became useful to them when you could vote, pay tax, and die in their wars, so they learned to tell lies you’d hear.

He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

@Jacel That would be the strangest lawn ever.
Lost four games in a row with Even Paladin because I ran into Murloc Paladin and Cubelock, lost with Quest Rogue to Murloc Paladin, finally won one with Quest Rogue against Shudderwock Shaman. This #Hearthstone meta is stupid and I think I’m going for Odd Quest Warrior soon because this is just blind paper-scissors-rock where I don’t have a rock because Cubelock is too expensive.
@JulieSqveakaroo I’m having a real M.C. Escher moment trying to figure out how that body position works ಠ_ಠ
@Jacel ugh. I have a lot of nights like that. I hope yours are typically more pleasant than that, even on this new antidepressant.
@Jacel I think you usually get less than six hours of sleep a night on average? It’s never seemed sufficient. Maybe enough sleep for a couple of weeks straight will help. This may also be wildly unwarranted optimism.

@Roady_Dragonfae @KawaSeadrake “plain” is an option too, and it’s slightly cheaper than the flavored ones. It reminds me of “Carnation instant breakfast if they took out the sugar and replaced it with bland”.
@Jssra We’re glad to have you back!
US Politics, Net Neutrality (+++)
The Senate passed the Congressional Review Act to reverse the FCC's repeal of net neutrality under Ajit Pai. :D

@Ratttz @IrisKalmia @KawaSeadrake welp, sounds like she learned something she came to find out 😐
