When you see those Veterans’ Day parades and a tiny number of WW2 and Korea vets marching…

The good old days, right?

Click bait that actually makes me glad I clicked???

I like the Libertarian classic novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.”

On the other hand, I can spned three hours pointing out all the ways the author had to massage reality to make his society work.

How about we drop all the distinctions and just say “good for regular people”?

You can’t copywrite a “Hannibal” action figure.

Reminds me of an off topic story.

“Fables” was a comic book whose main idea was that the characters from all the fairy tales were living in one neighborhood in Manhattan.

The TV networks like the idea, so they stole it. Twice.

I read a collection of comics from the 1950s. There were stories about Hannibal, Julius Ceasar, Emperor Claudius, and other historical figures. The issue with Civil War stories covered topics like the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we don’t put anything in kids’ media that can’t be sold.

EC titles like ‘Valor,’ and ‘Frontline Combat.’

My personal theory is that the GOP will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarians if the ever become too unpopular.

Also, they don’t drain off support, because the Libertarians almost always vote R when it counts. You notice that Green Party Jill was active this cycle and you didn’t hear about the Libertarians once.

Seeing as how it would take at least a billion dollars to even get such a party off the ground, you can be assured that the mainstream media would treat it with respect.

I think that the only reason the Greens and the Libertarians managed to get national status was that the GOP wanted to have someone to drain off D support.

Marx never wrote about lunch, so we shouldn’t eat anything!

Ever seen ‘The Addams Family’ movie? Remember the scene where the villainess says she killed her parents because they got her the wrong Barbie doll for Christmas?

The funny thing is that people vote for the GOP to save the economy but they are the ones who have ruined the economy on a regular basis/

If we get a consensus on the Left it will be the first time ever.

“I can’t support Bernie! He’s not a real Socialist, he’s a Social Democrat!!”

All of you have the same misunderstanding.

“Opaque” is not a color, but you can have a color that is opaque.

A white canvas sheet will stop light from going through; it’s opaque white.

Thank you.

People talk about “the Dems” like they are a monolith.

AOC unseated a long term Congress member who was tightly connected to the New York power structure. She did it by hitting the streets and talking to the locals. She built up voter support and won her primary.

I know it’s an uphill battle, but it is possible to change things.

More voters should have listened to Bernie.

He told people what to do.

We were in a class talking about X-rays. One young woman kept insisting that ‘opaque’ was a color. We finally figured out that she had seen opaque pantyhose and been confused.

Back in 2016 they did a panel of all the creators of the TV political dramas. West Wing, Veep, Scandal, House of Cards, and all the rest.

All the creators said the same thing; if they’d had a character who said he ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the networks and advertisers would have demanded that character be shown to be hated by all Americans.

As someone who voted for, and donated to, Kamal, I agree.
