  • Were all just hairy monkeys “ooging” into the void, friend. I absolutely feel this in my bones, and frankly i do think its a lack of education and other factors contributing to it. Throughout our recent history (lets say about 50 years) education dept budgets have been getting slashed, burned, and changed, especially in the south. I always find it very interesting to see how the attitudes and perspectives of voters have changed throughout the years. Anyone in politics in the 80-90s era never saw natural disasters as a partisan issue, it actually was more of a reason to throw politics aside and help your fellow countrymen. Because we lived in the same country meant we should act UNIFIED against any threat, natural or otherwise. Nowadays it seems to be everyone for themselves, or try to convince a democrat to help so you can stab them in the back in 2 years.









  • I understand the point in OPs post, but I disagree with it based upon evidence we have available to us. I think first and foremost it is important to mention (I dont have the studies linked but it shouldnt be hard to find) that teenage drug use overall is trending downward, with that including underage alcohol use/abuse. If younger generations use it less, the problems caused by alcoholism will be less prevalent as time goes on. Secondly, weve been putting up with drunk drivers for a while but (as our younger generations have been told for about 20 years now) the consequences for drunk or impaired operation of a motor vehicle have become more and more severe. I do believe alcoholism is something that can and will be phased out given enough time. The only thing that is still a mystery is what vice is going to replace it, and whether it is going to be better or worse.











  • How the fuck do democrats win here then? After the Harris/Dump debate i feel like there was a lot of conjecture about how Harris didnt talk about policy enough. How do you get away with talking about policy but not “sounding like a nerd” to uneducated voters? See I think this is more about the average voter not being educated enough to understand the issues and the policies potential nominees have pertaining to them, or how their lives would be affected depending who/what they vote for.
