That’s very nice, but we’ve still got to contend with the reality that an entire political party in the US is using Christianity as an excuse to do horrifically evil shit, and a sizeable contingent of everyday people who also claim the label are in support of that. As an outside observer and not a Christian myself, it seems like a semantic distinction that ultimately misses the forest for the trees.

Trump became president by winning over enough Republican primary voters and then exploiting the electoral college’s inbuilt favoring of conservatives.
For someone better to get in, they have to go through one of the major parties, and that means winning a primary. As such, by voting in a primary, there is the chance to actually stop a genocidal maniac from being put on the ticket in the first place. In our current system, that is unfortunately our best option. Voting third party in the general election in a first-past-the-post system that filters the popular vote through the electoral college is about as close as you can get to throwing your vote away without putting it in a literal trash can.
For the record, while this is the system that we live with and have to work within as long as we have it, this system is also total shit and we should absolutely abolish the electoral college and adopt a more parliamentary system like stronger democracies have elsewhere in the world.
Voting for a better third party in our current system unfortunately just makes it more likely that the worse of the two genocidal maniacs becomes the president instead.
CAHSR at least is already under construction and has made significant, material progress in the last few years. Brightline West I’m less confident in, but CAHSR is definitely happening.
maybe but they’re less cool than non-oil ones
france has world class high speed rail

More specifically if a woman they don’t like does it. They like her in theory because she’s white and attractive and straight and Christian and got her start as a country singer, but then she had to go and have opinions about things, so now she’s a commie who’s destroying America, or something.
“Hey! No running psyops while we’re running a psyop! No fair!”
I am now inside my desk. I die a slow and painful death.

How do you know their partner is a doofus?
I was 19 when I had my so-far worst one, now 28. I dealt with it by going trail running. I had an intramural trail running club I was helping to lead at the time, and wound up captaining for a couple of years, and I would go extra hard with the lead group because at the time it felt like pushing myself through the pain helped my mental suffering (and it was healthier than self-harm). About six months after the breakup I set a five-mile time at a community race that was a good two minutes faster than my previous PR, and which I haven’t come close to since.
I also had really supportive friends and wrote some really angsty songs.
That being said, I also almost had to drop out of college because my grades tanked, and only got to stay because I was lucky enough to qualify into the music department on a good audition for a probationary quarter, and then get my shit together long enough to pass the classes I needed to declare the major. So your mileage may vary.
Steve McCarthy? Tim Apple?
I can leave the house if I wanna see that
too bloody right
To borrow a phrase from Steve Hofstetter, I’ve never flown a helicopter, but if I saw one in a tree, I could still be like “dude fucked up.”
