    Why does it seem that whatever your political views, candidates from both parties are claiming that the other side is just a “few points ahead” in the polls and thus they desperately need you to send money, as if that’s the only thing that will matter. As if a few attack ads will change the mind of the voters. Is this what we’ve become? Do expensive ads change things? Or is communicating your ideas in person?

    Perhaps the federal government should be subsidizing the price of gasoline, diesel and home heating fuel to adjust for the impacts caused by the Iran war.

    @randahl@mastodon.social Yes, but when and what group of allied nations will invade the US to end the reign of this insane regime? Look at history to see our way out. I’m afraid we won’t have another way to be free of them. They’re already planning to control elections. Once that succeeds, it’s over. Not without secession of portions of the country. It might get messy. Am I too pessimistic? Let’s stop fooling ourselves that this will be solved in a fair, orderly manner via separation of powers,...
