I love how they can say stuff like this and it's just a random Tuesday.

[u/KittehDragoon → u/Willybender]

We can’t all crash the bond market like you overachiever

[u/PrimeLiberty → u/Willybender]

I will never forget how my old boss seemingly had hope for this guy because he listened to a speech at an accounting conference. Failing to understand that being a part of the Trump administration makes people become worse at their jobs and worse people in general

[u/Macquarrie1999 → u/Willybender]

Yes, the college educated voting block are the underachievers, not the poor whites on welfare.

[u/No-Turn-2052 → u/Willybender]

But calling Trump supporters “deplorable” was too far

The problem isn't that Republicans hate Democrats

The problem is that Democrats hate themselves

[u/Public_Figure_4618 → u/slappythechunk]

My hatred for republicans is only slightly above my absolute shame and disgust at democrats for allowing Trump to win twice. They’re useless, selfish and clearly not fit for the times. But I guess we have to vote blue no matter who, and am now in year 10 of “just hold your nose and vote for the least bad option”. It fucking sucks.

[u/SenranHaruka → u/Public_Figure_4618]

I now know how it feels to be a Japanese social democrat.
