They used to say that about Ohio. …before that Florida …before that Iowa …before that California ….way before that, Pennsylvania
Queue that XKCD.
Soon it’s going to be Georgia or Arizona And then Texas
I for one, can’t wait for the chili cook offs, and when all the candidates start wearing cowboy hats. The y’all’s will truly have it!
I’d donate a few dollars a month. Newgrounds is a great content creation space. I still play games there from time to time. The Mario 63 game is off the wall. Dead Estate is also a fantastic retro style shooter like the ones I remember from my childhood. I think places like this need to survive.
Sure I’ll give it a shot. Romney did Obamacare for Massachusetts, so a moderate republican may do OK with DHHS.
I’d also be OK with Federal Reserve, isn’t a republican currently serving in that role? Bernanke was a republican and he did alright.
Veterans Affairs possibly as well, if Kamala gave guidance.
But keep them the hell away from Energy, EPA and Education. Probably not DOT if we ever want a decent rail system too.
Didn’t Lincoln include members from various political parties? And he’s arguably the best president we’ve had.
It’s as if, and hear me out on this, there aren’t enough progressives alone to elect a president in a nation of 350+ million people.
I suppose it also tells the good guys too.
Hillary got buttery maled and blue walled.
She was exceptionally equipped and would have made for a fine president, after all, she was the one who advocated for Obamacare back in the 90s, (which you may know, was actually a republican plan first, back when republicans used to win New England states).
All that is to say, people like to think Hillary wouldn’t have moved the country to the left, but she most certainly would have. Her public perception may not have been as left as Bernie, and perception absolutely matters (see Joe B). However, like Biden, I think she had such control of the political machinery that she would have been much more effective at putting those plans to action.
The reason I say all of this is, some our most left leaning policies have been enacted by presidents who were elected from the center (Johnson, Clinton, Biden).
Sounds like Ol’ Sleepy Joe got to him. Get that fake handicap low enough Donnie, Joe’s comin’ for ya!
What a fun city. Having lived in the South most of my life, I somehow associated it as not a great place to visit. I was so wrong. Yes, it’s a party city, but it’s so, so much more. The food is top notch, the gardens are beautiful, and where else in the south can you ride a cable car, as regular public transportation!
As for the coffee, yea the chicory was different, but it tasted good, added a bit of a root bear kind of taste, mildly pleasant. I wouldn’t drink it every day, I don’t like sweet coffee, but occasionally a nice treat. Coincidentally, I live in Chapel Hill now and the place up the street sells chicory coffee, both brewed and cold brew. It’s nice when, like you, I want to reminisce about that beautiful trip.
A lot of us migrated months ago when the writing was on the wall.
Kbin became my home when I decided to move to a smaller foreign county, and I’m glad it was, because the land of Mastodon was a bit too distant for me. When the Kbin house was burning down, fortunately the next door neighbor, Fedia, was there to take me in and make things feel familiar.
I suppose that’s the whole advantage of the Fediverse. One head of the hydra may get chopped down, but many others can spring out from it.
Don’t forget to support your admins y’all.

So then they’ll move here, not such a bad deal.
But then, who makes sure that ActivityPub doesn’t sell out?
Could you imagine? All those sick people who would stop working til they die? Harumph.
Yuge! > here, you forgot this.
Tell it to Kamala
There once was a guy from Cincy
He was donned the MAGA princy
Some people can vouch
That he likely F-ed a couch
Now it’s made the orange man wincy
Because it’s fore-fathers ya dolt! Do I have to explain everything?
I also appreciated this particular nugget in the article:
While Harris has not personally given birth, neither has any other occupant of the White House.
True that, I just took a look at the FAQ and it still references kbin.
Question, how do we donate to this project?
I agree with your sentiment, but I’m concerned that they’re putting all of their “faith” in a far right candidate. They’ve made her a cult of personality.
Russia was a colonial power, then it found oil.
There are also some justifiable fears that Australia is becoming a vassal state to China. I suppose one could argue that Australia was a colony (but I’d argue that the US was one too).
Just saying, it can happen to any country.
There’s a saying, around here people know it…some people over there may know it too… the enemy of my friend is my enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my contractually non-binding Diplomacy partner.
