11. Some of the stuff we push is just stupid

Why the hell must I put an electric car port in my garage? I live 120 miles from a real city (and even that one is only 100,000 people). I’m never buying an electric car because it makes zero sense for me, yet the Democrats push this issue so here I am (and yes, I resent it because it’s money I don’t have to spend).

Trump’s dumb tariffs already put beef prices through the roof. Now we have people trying to pass laws that say only bison can be put on BLM. Yes, let’s kill the cheap food supply. What a smart idea! I love paying $8 for a pound of 80/20 so someone can feel like it’s the Wild West. While we are rat-fucking ourselves - let’s put some more wolves here too so the ranchers can lose calves to them and we can pay more $$ to reimburse them AND beef prices can go up.

This is the city mentality that works really well where lots of people live, but we HAVE to over perform in rural states and areas because of the electoral college and some do the policies we espouse just kill is out here.

She lost because she was a woman and because a small percentage of people thought Trump - for whatever reason - Vinca Apr 19 #12
I highly disagree with that. Unfortunately Harris being black and a woman added a deficit to her votes. As for CA, well themaguffin Apr 19 #13
Yes, in her case being from California wasn't even used to attack her JI7 Apr 19 #24
She lost becsuse she is a black woman . The crazy black guy in North Carolina lost also JI7 Apr 19 #23
