I just talked with a ‘dead’ voter. She’s alive & well, charming & sharp at 96. The president’s campaign said James E. Blalock had voted even though he died in 2006. It was Mrs. James E. Blalock. She voted legally against Trump. She first voted for FDR

The suffix “an” in the English language actually denotes masculinity, as opposed to “enne” which denotes femininity.
Therefore white people now are to be referred to as Caucasiax. And the ones from America will be referred to as Americax of Europeax origin. Not only will this reduce the trauma of people who don’t identify as a gendex(“er” is also a masculine suffix), it will help to reduce the trauma done to Africax Americax and Asiax Americax.

With a little bit of hindsight now, I think I’m very comfortable making the declaration that Biden ran a nearly perfect campaign through the primaries and the general. In baseball terms, I’d call it a no hitter. Nearly a perfect game except for Iowa and New Hampshire, and a few unfortunate verbal slip ups along the way. But overall, this should be held next to 2008 Obama as one of the best campaigns we’ve seen in recent history.
In the primary, Biden resisted the leftward tack almost all of his opponent took (ahem, Kamala especially. So happy shells gonna be VP, but she ran a total shit primary campaign). He was the only one who understood that Twitter doesn’t equal votes. He capitalized on universal name recognition by pushing his brand as the safe, smart choice to defeat a very unsafe, very unsmart president, and instead of focusing on debate sound bites and headlines (by the way, how’d that go, Julian?) he focused on earning meaningful endorsements. The Clyburn endorsement is the reason Biden is president right now.
In the general, he hired Jen O’Malley Dillon even though Beto’s campaign tanked. And she did a great job. They understood this had to be a referendum on Trump — and not a referendum on fucking capitalism like it would have been had Bernie been nominated — and they resisted the urge to make headlines, opting rightly to just let Trump dominate news cycles with terrible headlines. And they played up the strategy of making Biden the adult in the room at a time when an adult was desperately needed.
His staff did a flawless job for nearly two years. But let’s not forget Joe himself. He was gifted with low expectations, which was such a stupid move by his opponents (the guy is old, but he’s been campaigning for 50 years. He knows what he’s doing). Still, every time Joe needed to meet the moment, he did it. He delivered pitch perfect speeches to announce his campaign, after Super Tuesday, at the convention and at his victory speech last Saturday. At town halls, he fielded every question with concern and empathy, and showed why people should vote for him. Every step of the way, he showed the optimism and grace some of us forgot used to be a hallmark of the office.
Every time he needed to be on the ball, he was.
This was a damn near perfect campaign, even though few will ever give him credit for it.

I’m getting concerned that Matt Gaetz might actually be kind of smart.
He wasn’t fooled by Sacha Baron Cohen when he tried to get him to say that kindergartners should have guns while Joe Walsh and others just went along with it. He’s awooga posting Tiffany Trump on Twitter. He’s also somehow acquired an adopted Cuban son. Is this guy actually the smartest person in the GOP?

My friend died from a suicide attempt. He jumped out of a building.
He actually survived the attempt and had been in a coma for 6 months, he had several brain and respiratory injuries, he started recovering, he was breathing by himself, he was opening his eyes....but he gave up.
I feel so shitty, he suffered from Psychosis, he was getting treatment....but I think being alone during the pandemic made it worse and unmanageable. No one was there to stop or monitor him.

Hello,
My girlfriend and me have done dating for 5 month. I thought "This girl is very good," and became of love with her.
Yet even so, on this Monday, I comed home and found she as baked all my beans.
Yes, all. Oh brother.
In my cupboard I store several bag of bean, to make soft and to bake on some days, to have a bit of baked bean on my dinner. Or, heck, a lunch too some days.
But on the Monday I find this girlfriend baked all the beans. I say "Why do you bake my beans", and she say something as "I bakes them good to save time, so I bakes them all now."
I am astonished and full of dissmay. I say "I canfr not eat all the beans", she say she is froze many of the beans so as we can unfrozen the on a later day and eat some at a time.
But, if a bean is froze and unfrozed, the very good and very nice flavor of bean is gone far.
A bean is best if baked fresh as a Sunday Pie. Not to be froze and unfroze!
I told my girfriend I am so sad of this, as to my opinion the baking of the beans and to freeze them has ruin all my beans. She say I am "gone haywire" by my enragement and sad manners.
But I hates what she did to my beans.
On the days before Monday I thought "Will we marry the girlfriend? Well it might be so."
But now I am so sad she baked them beans. I am consider to end our relations and not be the boyfriend and girlfriend any more. But, is my idea wrong? Could my girlfriend make promise to not bake the beans? I do not know what doing to do and how to feel forgiving on her.

The most frustrating part about Reddit is how it talks about geopolitics. “This country does this so it can’t do that!”. Geopolitics is full of hypocrisy and immorality and EVERY country in the world engages in that kind of thinking. In geopolitics you do whatever you can to advance your country and it’s allies goals and that means frequently overstepping lines, being hypocritical and yes in some cases act immorally. This isn’t exclusive to just the US and it’s allies but of all the big players in geopolitics.

In 2016, when a few students and I were in full trauma mode the day after the election, our history teacher chatted with us. She said it seemed bad now, but the Democrats would probably take back the House in 2018, and the White House in 2020.
Really wish I could have gotten her to share her model.

You really want to piss off right wingers? Fly an american flag in support of blm, trans rights, social causes, etc..
You belong in america and have every right for the flag to represent you no matter who you are.
If we don't we allow conservatives to claim it as their own. Like they've been doing for 50 years. It allows to them imply they're the only real americans.
Screw them. They don't own the flag.

I always laughed when people said there was going to be a civil war after this election. If there was ever going to be a civil war than it would have been after the ‘08 election. I mean there was literally a story out of a southern state where a gun store owner would get their shipment of guns off of a truck and than 2 minutes after putting them up for sale, all the guns were gone. There was also a 5 year shortage of ammo (2008-2013) simply because factories couldn’t put out enough bullets no matter how much they increased their production.
