@GrantGHurst The right is often NIMBY in their personal opinions, but their overriding principle of deregulation is inherently YIMBY so that’s the governance they get
Many people on the left are the exact opposite
@Free_CentralPA@GrantMa25066011 I distinctly remember being told that Tom Tillis and Susan Collins were guaranteed to lose, and that Iowa was Tilt D at best for Republicans in that Senate race

@isn742@benjen41@ScratchAE__ “Weirdo.” The dislike of Bear ultimately comes from him giving the ick at the end of the day. He’s a coward, sure, and he tried to cling to his delusions for too long, but his sin is that he’s passive. He never actively or intentionally hurts anybody
@isn742@benjen41@ScratchAE__ Which is what he ultimately does, so are we really faulting him for taking exactly one (1) additional day to reach the conclusion that suicide and homicide are the correct answer?
In fact, he found a better method in the meantime that would’ve worked if Ian cooperated
@dontfallforem@VerumVulnero1 Because he’s the one that insists to us that possessing any wealth at all and not giving it to minorities is a moral failure
So it’s fair to point out that he has much more wealth than he needs
@MargBarGoombas Every political fundraising figure is in effect a funny number
So much is done through PACs, individual donations to candidates instead of parties, and even self funding from billionaire candidates like Tom Steyer or Rick Jackson
@Slatzism Not to go full bootlicker, but cops really do show unbelievable patience in a lot of situations that would make me strongly consider quitting my job
