    The confusion I feel for the first few minutes when I wake up is like free drugs without all the hassle of trying to obtain them or the recovery!

    Especially if I go for an early evening snooze then wake up when it’s darker and I don’t know if it’s AM or PM!



  • And they won’t ever put their hands up and admit their approach is what caused defeat because they would require some self awareness, self analysis and then admitting that the ‘left’ not holding their noses and voting for their piss soaked candidate wasn’t the cause of the defeat.

    I’m not in the US but only recently learnt that since ww2, no democrat has been elected with a majority of white voters. Carter came closest with 48%. Running a candidate who supported cop cities with her entire chest isn’t going to endear your core voter base.



  • I’d argue that the system is designed or at least indifferent to a majority being uninterested in the politics that influences their daily life.

    I would concur and that it’s deliberately built into the system that people think politics is something that can be isolated/compartmentalised and not thought about at all, if so desired.

    To enfranchise the electorate, education has to begin early on that politics is the power dynamic in every single relationship, including those individuals have with each other, systems such as government, and inanimate objects such as money, food, sex, etc.

    If you’ve had no previous experience of Liz Truss, she is absolutely bonkers and has the charisma of a bag of shit

    If you can bear 2 minutes of her, this was when she was a lowly trade minister in the Tories before they imploded and were putting anyone in as prime minister. After that she went full on batshit, subscribing heavily to the ‘deep state’ nonsense and blaming everything for ending her 42 days rather than facing that she was incompetent and the markets had no confidence in her
