I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, “Harlan Pepper, if you don’t stop naming nuts,” and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that’s what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she’d just start yelling. I’d say, “Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut.” That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She’d say, “Would you stop naming nuts!” And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn’t talk, but he’d go “rrrawr rrawr” and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it’s also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.

Well the argument being made here is that the campaign’s strategy actively depressed turnout.

So not doing normalizing the opposition and implementing the policies your voting base tends to oppose.

Yeah it is definitely a fascist problem.

I mean I would love to believe there are trns of millions of silent far left protest abstentions, but the fact of the matter is seventy million plus motherfuckers actively went for the overt fascists. Tens of millions more didn’t care enough to at least go third party. This was a turnout problem, not a protest vote problem.

We do get a lot of greentexts. I mean, greentexts, NCD, and this place are the core communities filling my Local feed. Whitepeopletwitter has been pretty frequent but pretty low engagement recently though.

I guess we have reached a social austerity phase of oligarchy.

I’d hit up a Golden Corral before an Applebees.

But seriously I infinitely prefer the non-brand local diner, usually named after the street it is on, over just about any sit-down chain.

This… premeditated sin.

The biggest range of ‘surplus’ for men coincides with the highest gap in education and employment.

It seems like to me that women are getting educations but don’t find work in South Korea. But they are able to leave the country to find work when they aren’t hired domestically.

So I wonder if these numbers include Koreans living abroad.

Top-two mixed primary regardless of partisan affiliation.

One primary ballot held, all candidates declare a party ‘preference’, all votes counted together. Top two go onto the general election.

Fair and accurate.

Poor fuckin’ horses man.

It varies by state election rules, but for me all the downballot third party candidates are eliminated in the primaries.

All local and state elections on my ballot are: Democrat v Republican, Democrat v Democrat, or Unopposed.

I see ‘Audrey’.
