Dems need to stop shoving candidates down peoples throats – this is how a lot of people felt with Hillary.

There are more than two parties – math checks out

That’s what they’d like you to think. If everyone moved a few check boxes down on the ballot, we’d have anyone else. Break free! It feels good 😊

(This never actually happened but I think the idea holds)

This might be an instance where a good portion of the country might actually agree that the two major party candidates are jackasses. I remain hopeful.

Well, you sir are a free thinker. Claim your prize in the ruins of democracy.

My plan is to pick a check box without the name Biden or Trump, or maybe write someone in. Being institutionalized into thinking a vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump is a pathway to madness

Is your plan to vote based on how everyone else votes? Seems like a great way to reinforce a two party system.

There are other choices. We don’t have to settle for Trump or Biden.

I’d take the snakes. If you can find the thermostat you can turn it way down and immobilize the snakes.

Here’s a guy that thinks career politicians can be honest. These people are a fucking disease that can only be cured with term limits.

I’m not blaming anyone for studying anything. I’m simply stating that the bill for that education will come due and it might be a good idea to have acquired a skill to help pay it if the projected return on investment is non-existent.

Ever have a conversation with people in your local service industry? I live in a major US city and this is a common story:

• liked art
• got into art institute of ___
• now have 200k of student debt
• didn’t finish, now work at this bar and another to pay off the debt
• still dabbles in art but can’t get anything off the ground

Do you think they’d have advised a younger version of themselves to do something else?

A nice thing about Physics: quantitative reasoning is a highly valued skill in many paying jobs and something you have to acquire along the way to learning things like QED. The end result of knowing, say, if a neutrino has mass isnt terribly useful.

Darn, if they had only built the tunnels, fired the rockets and stored the ammunition away from population centers before taking all those hostages…

How many successful filmmakers, authors and musicians do you know personally? Let’s keep the bar real low: ones that can feed themselves and retire without supplemental income from a spouse that does something more pragmatic?

I was a Physicist before leaving for industry. What would you like to know about how science works and how it is funded?

Believe it or not, I have several degrees in physics. I worked in the field for a bit then left for industry. I don’t disagree with the premise that diverse educational backgrounds can be a good thing, they are more often than not a fine pathway to being a very interesting bartender buried in crippling student debt. Why not double major in something useful on top of Art History?

They absolutely would not storm any beach. They’d meme the shit out of them though.

Genocide would look like carpet bombing Gaza with MOABs

Do you trust Pelosi moreso than Hillary Clinton?

It’s hard to tell what’s real these days – all I see in the article is Pelosi talking out of her ass with no proof

(I’m not a fan of Trump but this article is garbage)

It’s a tough call. I was as liberal as it gets on my 20s, now I’m in my 40s. I see a lot of people bitching about inequality, injustice etc. that acquired a ton of student loan debt to major in subjects that would very clearly not land them a job.

Socially, still very liberal. Fiscally? Stop wasting my tax dollars on anything that’s not defense or legit scientific research.

He’s probably just saying “consider the source” in a roundabout way. I’d only take stock tips from Pelosi.

The only way to know for sure is to ask the washing machine how it identifies
