    I’m starting to understand “I don’t do politics.” to often mean “I don’t have the mental aptitude for political discourse and have spent a significant amount of my life becoming educated on other subjects or otherwise being intellectual about most subjects.” I feel it’s a little more acceptable that way. Some people are just not that smart or have not invested much time in politics or current world affairs. It usually means, they feel inadequate discussing the subject with you.

    The top orangutan has been accused of murdering babies and pregnant teens that he raped. So I would assume most of us Americans are unaffected since nobody is even investigating anything like that. Oh they investigated Cesar Chavez and there was much reason to do so and the biggest accuser was also part of the movement. But not the uber-rich. No siry Bob.

      A few years ago I would have argued that something like pedophilia would have been something we could (mostly) all agree was bad, but republicans had to show me I was wrong.

    So glad all the time and effort everybody has been putting in to end the genocide in Gaza has finally paid off… and Trump was convicted, so glad he didn’t get a second term… and those Epstein files. Glad all those pedo’s are in jail or dead now.

    Sometimes you just gotta take a break from it all. The average citizen doesn’t have much power in small numbers. If some movement is gonna get big enough to actually effect change, you won’t miss it.

      It’s worth pointing out that the democratic party came together to ensure this woman was defeated in her primaries.
