I'm not personally interested in 69ing, or being 69ed..by those very fine people. I'm waiting for them to die, and I wont have to wait long.
"Profound rightward drift"?
We have living, breathing examples here on this forum of profound leftward drift ... and they're hardly the loudest voices on the left, no? I mean, who the hell pays attention to lil ole AF?
We suffer from an evacuated middle. Finger-pointing is more a symptom than a cure.
There is a profound difference between the population and the asswipes who get elected.
A recent survey found 64% in favor of legalizing pot.
62% favor gay marriage.
90% support background checks for gun purchases.
59% support abortion in all or most cases.
91% support criminal justice reform.
69% favor the Paris Climate Agreement.
None of these things can get a sniff in Congress but a further study indicated that
13% of democrats and 36% of republicunts favored "fracking" .... and guess what we have all over the fucking place.
