Southerner here. It's this kind of carte blanche thinking that had left the liberals and progressives of the South fighting an uphill battle. When the major party most aligned with our values throws up their hands and withdraws all support, we are left only with our metropolitan counties trying to lead by example, however flawed we may be. I want to help my rural statesmen get the help they need so that they're above water long enough to realize the true opponent, the 1% aka the new age plantation owners. But when we only have 2-3 counties per state trying to stem the tide while weathering the onerous rulings of a gerrymandered state legislator, it's slow going. I almost left once, but that's accepting defeat. I'm not leaving this country if we take a significant rightward turn, because I'll lose any ability to right the ship. Same goes for the South.
From a Blueberry in a Raspberry pie, with love.
You have to take into account the electoral college advantage that Republicans have. It's not enough to just win the popular vote. So, don't forget to vote at all levels when you can. :)
I thought this was a Dune post, at first.
The headline is, “Harris sidesteps spotlight when it comes to her identity.”
Goes to show what a thoughtful great artist Bill Watterson is.
Thank you, Mr. Sketal!

That's, uh, not a flat tax, then. You figured out the better approach immediately. And I agree, simplify the tax code while keeping it progressive.
I've never listened to Sawbones, but that is sound advice. The movie Pi drove that point home.

I've enjoyed Diplomacy with many friends. We just make sure to talk about the chicanery we're all about to take part in is separate from our real lives.
It's a great game & reminds us that we can all be bastards if we choose. If anything, it makes me cherish the good that my friends choose instead within their real lives.
