So you’re so smart, and you’re making these allegations - you tell me how boomers have voted differently than the prior and subsequent generations.

I’m really tired of this narrative. If you look at the prior two elections, boomers only voted conservative by a slight majority, and younger people only voted liberal by a slight majority. The difference isn’t stark. I’m a boomer, and me and my boomer friends are flaming liberals.

There is evidence already coming in that Trump did very well this time with younger people. Stop putting all the blame on boomers.

It’s dumb and pointless, but it’s literally the way a president is elected today. We have had many instances of people being elected president who didn’t win the popular vote. So if you want to try to figure out if third party candidates caused Trump to get elected, you have to look at it state by state.

It’s even hard if you have money. So many Americans think they can just pack up and move to another country. I’m about retirement age, and I can’t tell you how many people have asked if I’m going to leave the country or tell me they plan to. So far, only one had line of sight to actually doing it because his family was from Spain and he owns property there, which makes a big difference.

For most countries there’s an application process and you have to show that you’re a bet benefit. Even at that, it’s usually a multi-year process.

The other person was making the point that you can’t do it by total popular vote, you have to do it by state and then look at their electoral college votes.

It’s not something anyone can just do. America’s borders are more open than a lot of countries’. You have to apply, and it can be a multi-year process even if you do get accepted. It can cost money too.

The women in my life also say that it depends a bit on where. For instance, most just don’t want to be hit on at the gym.

I guess you and I just disagree. Yes, for me there’s for sure a “not Trump” aspect to Kamala, but she seems like the most progressive candidate we’ve had for some time.

I’ve heard of a tree hugger, but…

No one is saying it’s “the wrong time,” like the people who say we can’t talk about gun control after a shooting. What they’re saying is that a third party candidate is fundamentally a waste of a vote, or worse, in a two-party system. It doesn’t move the needle in the direction you want, it takes a vote away from the major party candidate who is closer to your ideals.

Which is why so many women hate talking to men they don’t know: there’s so often that request for a date after even the most innocuous small talk.

This is a very cool and interesting list. Interesting enough to read from top to bottom, but in bite-sized chunks for people with limited time or short attention spans. Thanks for sharing!

Would be nice to think so, but apparently they’re Trumpers.

Reportedly he has a very worth of $50M. If that was just in investments getting 4 percent a year, that would be $2M annually for doing nothing. Kind of gross to stoop to that level for money when you have so much.

Courting the same demographic

I feel like, if demons were real, they’d be perfectly happy with Tucker.

I like the answer by some philosopher that we have a sense of object permanence. If your neighbor replaced different parts of his house over several years until they all were replaced, you’d likely say it was the same house because at every point in time, it was there. But if one day he knocked the whole things down and rebuilt it exactly the same as it had been, you’d say it was a different house because there was that moment when it wasn’t there.

Yep!

Are you taking about those weird chewy ones? Because those are my favorites.

I had no idea it was like that there. Horrific.
