PNW native. I love my Seattle sports! I play tabletop games and Pokémon Go. Cat dad to 2 amazing furballs, Meeps and Squeeky. Finally cut the cord from Saruman the Tweeterer.

I’ve been stuck in LAX “The Horseshoe” traffic before to the point where I just got out and walked to my terminal, but I agree with you that I’ve walked just as far if not farther at ATL. At least Atlanta has Cool Stuff decorating that huge underground terminal connector tunnel thingy.

I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree here. Personally, I feel like enough people in swing states like MI and PA sat out this last election to affect the outcome. Either way, I feel like you and I will agree on 95+% of issues. And I also feel like we agree that we need new strategies.

If that means that they say what they need to say in order to get the low info middle to vote for them, then maybe they need to do that. As it stands, their “lead with Thor’s Hammer of Anger” method of politics makes it simple for the right to come in and scare low info voters. 🤷‍♂️

I agree that the dem leadership is spineless and the worst, but that doesn’t mean that the far left isn’t blameless. In order to win elections, I feel like they should do whatever it takes to actually win those elections.

Agree. I was largely silent about it until this last election. The far left is SO BAD at politics. They lead with blunt anger and have no savvy whatsoever. And we got Sippy Cup Caligula as a result.
