  • Again, I’m perfectly fine with Democrats playing dirty when it helps the country as a whole. They want to gerrymander to hell to get something like socialized health insurance passed or something like ranked choice voting? Have at it. This is just nepotism. It doesn’t help you. It doesn’t help the Democratic Party. Nobody should be for this.





  • We don’t have a system that allows for third parties. Push for ranked choice voting or approval voting at the local and state levels. Also push for an increase in the House and multi member districts. If you want a viable third party, it has to be built up from the base and can’t just be some asshole who runs every four years for publicity.


  • Fuck that. Playing dirty in this instance does zilch to help you. Why the fuck would you support this? How does Hunter Biden being pardoned help you or anyone else at all? Democrats are okay to play dirty when it is done defending basic rights for Americans, not for the political elite. Hunter is a grifter and he should absolutely face the consequences.


  • 100%

    I’m not super shocked to see people defending this because a chunk of people will always play defense. I’m shocked to see how many are defending this. Nobody should give a shit about Hunter Biden. The attention brought onto him was certainly politically motivated but the trial itself was not. He did the crimes and he should be ready for the consequences. The guy is clearly a grifter.

    I don’t care if Democrats stoop to the level of Republicans when it is actually defending our rights. When it is for blatant nepotism though? Fuck that with a sharp stick.

    Funnily enough, the local satire paper here ran a story right before Thanksgiving with the headline “Turkey Pardoned by President Looks an Awful Lot Like Hunter Biden” with a picture of Hunter in a turkey suit. I think I would actually be more supportive if that had actually happened.


  • We don’t exactly have long term studies on vaporized nicotine’s effects on the lungs. Same goes for the regulated additives. For the illicit stuff, there is no possibility of long term study because they can really put anything they want in there. If you are trying to avoid lung cancer, you likely are not choosing a decent route or you may be trading lung cancer for something that sucks equally as much.

    I think the flavor ban is ridiculous but maybe stick to stuff that is at least slightly regulated until flavors are allowed again and there is regulation on it.


  • Am I the only one that thinks vaping looks trashy? It’s a step up from cigarettes but that is not saying much.

    It’s not only the nicotine that is the problem. We have not had long term study on what happens when you vaporize the additives and breathe them in. The whole insist needs much more regulation. Targeting flavors specifically is pretty stupid though. Why target flavors there and not for alcohol? I remember only wanting mixed drinks initially because straight alcohol and cheap beer tasted disgusting.
