Yet people don't see. Refuse to see.

Sorry for working thru this on what is supposed to be a poetry board. I personally hate that the liberal ethic or pov has been trending toward dead since Reagan. The issue of crime has been, in particular, a problem, the message being "why would you vote for a party/politician who keeps releasing re...

Thanks Doreen. We're not talking right now. If an all-purpose, catch-all completely dismissive putdown is her idea of something worth tossing into a discussion, then I think taking a break is the right call. For the time being

But that's the weird part. She's not a red hat wearer. She's always been a life long liberal sort of person, and now she's pissing on that and accusing me of "TDS." WTF?

Maybe I'm just a "snowflake."

I think she might be in her own "bubble" as well. We're not talking right now, not as long as she is accusing me of "TDS."

Jesus ..

It's a cult. And cults are baffling by nature, because the cult leader is infallible and can do no wrong--by definition! That, and 30+ years of so many right-wing talking heads with their right-wing talk shows and right-wing talking points, repeated ad nauseam, like an endless campaign of saturation...

Doreen: I'm glad to hear that. It's certainly what I expected. All I'm saying is that it needs to translate a little more to the polls, especially in federal elections every two years. and ESPECIALLY in presidential elections. I mean, pushback on Roe kind of had an effect on the 2022 midterms, helpi...

Well, you know, I agree with most everything said in this thread, but I'm also concerned by how many people sat out the '24 election. We all need to make sure to get out and vote against this excrement. Especially women! Where is the collective outrage? The backlash? I mean, Roe was overturned more ...

God she pissed me off when she went there

It's on! Personally, I hate winter, but I won't bow to it.

My dear sister accused me last year of being in a "liberal bubble." That is hard for me to take, mostly because I don't know what it means. Can anyone help me on this? And don't reply with the usual complaints about "welfare queens" and crime in general.

In my little "Liberal Bubble"
I once imagined the best
of human nature winning.

What I got instead was
greed and Bible verses
and finger pointing.

I think HST wasn't far from the truth about "the American dream," but there was no way that "Fear and Loathing" (in Vegas) was ever going to fully translate to the big screen. You had to read the book.

And now listening to my other favorite blast from the past song, "Ghost Town" by the Specials. THE song that first made me want to play bass guitar.

I admit I didn't read the link, but I love the phrase "tyranny of words." A surprisingly big problem
