Went To A Democrat Meeting

We FPH now?

RIP FPH

It's still going strong at Voat.

Whatever they do to Mormon kids apparently works.

Not that Hash would ever admit it.

My mom's Mormon; I miss the society Mormonism enjoys, but liberty is a sweet mistress, not compatible with messages from God passed through the lips of prophets on Earth.

There's an eerie correlation between "low fat" diets (that require 3x as much sugar to get the same taste) and the increase in obese people. Also, if no one's noticed, the optimistic American narrative has suffered tremendously since the advent of Social Media let the misfits coalesce.

Agreed on both counts.
I see where you're going now.

You should document it on Instagram like Gary Vaynerchuck and build a following.

Because, surprise, all calories really are not equal.

What atheist nations are beacons of liberty again? Oh wait that's right, atheists haven't yet built a single non-religious society that is compatible with liberty yet.

OH SNAP!

It may have taken a smidge over nine years, but StCapps just laid down the sickest burn of his career.
Damn.
Quality.



So ruthless it even hurt my feelings, and I'm agnostic.

Another amazing indicator, only 1 person recognized me as their 3-time candidate (and he was the candidate for the other seat). My face has been on 8X4 signs for literally years, my picture has been in multiple Voter's pamphlets, my name has been listed 100s of times, yet no one recognized my face or my name when I introduced myself. Wow, that campaigning stuff is a total waste.

That is the heart of the problem and it doesn't mean campaigning is a total waste. You haven't served at the local level, right? That's where bipartisan support starts. I won with more Republican votes than Democratic ones and that remained consistent through 3 elections. Before people know you have good ideas, they have to know they can trust you. Then you can win as an independent, but that usually happens at a local level. Its a way to bypass a moribund local political party leadership.

Last night, my wife, Gwynne & I, went to our first Democratic Party meeting is almost a year. Like has happened several times over the past decade I've been attending these things, virtually all the attendees were new, including the entire leadership. Out of 50 people, maybe I'd seen 10 before? It's absolutely bizarre that the turnover is so complete & predictable, but this was the most attendees I've ever seen.

Thirdly, after 3-1/2 hours, the only person who ever discussed actual politics was me. Nobody ever says a thing, they're all acclimated to the slogans. And my interjection was all bad, and also indicative of the rot. A union organizer was trying to get an anti-Right-To-Work endorsement to send to the State Committee. Everybody was just going to vote for it but I stood up & quoted the U.N. amendments that specifically disallow forcing people to join unions. I prefaced & ended my 3 minute speech with my commitment as a Democrat not to vote against the Party Platform but unionism is knee-jerk for Dems, and my mia culpa was inadequate. What makes it really bad was that the other candidate who did know me, talked to me after the meeting and basically made the admission that UNION CAMPAIGN DONATIONS dictated his position, regardless of the facts!

Just another day in Democratland.

Gee. I wonder how democrats are still a party? Oh that's right. Immigration.

How do you possibly know that?
