Wishful thinking, but hope runs eternal.

Lenny Wilkins stings a bit. Although I grew up in the Jordan era, had an older guy as a youth coach that taught us about him and told us to watch him coach when he was with the Hawks. Impressive guy from what I recall. First coach I really admired. Kind of a Pop/Kerr/Phil hybrid for that time that got overshadowed a bit for never having a top 3-5 player on his teams.

We agree on this point: let the general electorate realize. Simply different views on how to go about it. Oddly, I feel like you're being the moderate stooge in this while the more moderate crowd (at least in this insanely small microcosm of a niche message board) are wanting to hold the course.

The off ramp is to make Republicans effectively govern for the first time in decades. Hand them the responsibility. If they come to the table with anything genuine, then concede and ask them why did they make this so hard for everyone. If not, which we all know is the real scenario, they'll be ran off the ticket before primaries even begin. Occassionally, the best thing to do as a parent/adult is to sit quietly, let it play out, and then be there for the realization and recovery.

Agree to disagree. You can only win most elections with some sort of the majority of votes. The average voter isn't reasonable, informed, or educated. This was a rare national instance where all they had to do was nothing but say, "They're in charge and not willing to negotiate or create anything better for the American people" Hammer that line until next November if you must. The average voter will understand that very fast. Again, see your point. Agree to disagree, though.

It's already been stated in other ways, but this is so stupid by the dems. At the end of the day, most average voters and swing voters will ask, "why did you shut down the government this long to not achieve anything? " If they were good at messaging, then maybe the @Starkiller's of the world would be correct, but Dems can't hammer a consistent, coherent, cogent message to save their lives. Haven't done it in 20 years, yet we expect them to do it well for 12 more months straight. This is such a self-own. I've never voted for a true leftist, but if this holds, I may only vote for the far left to see if they can change things OR the far right candidates to let all the milquetoast leaders and voters enjoy the fruits of their passiveness/ weakness.

I'll drop this here from last week with credit to @ctm

Partial birth abortion! Crowning that line of scrimmage listlessy before getting ripped down! Knew you guys saw it, too. Phew... what a relief.

Like most of your posts, this was mildly incomprehensible and illogical windings of a mind with a message worthy to send, but the mail carrier finds it in a shredder bin then tries to piece it all together and deliver those letters. But I actually understand and appreciate the sentiment, even though coherent, cogent thoughts, statements, and intentions escape your actual written message. Yes, talking to people is objectively better than online messaging, even with the social and other risks that it can assume. Younger generations, to various degrees, have forgotten the potency of a good faith conversation without a camera involved.

I just watched a partial birth abortion slap fight a 97 y.o. lady found in the rubble of a nursing home fire in which she watched all generations of her prodigy perish before her. Eye-to-eye viewing the cruel duality of existence. Both clinging to life while begging for death, writhing listlessly in battle to capture the last refuse of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon molecules while spectators turn in horror a mile above the sea to see no winners in their microcosm of a battle called life. ...and @woolfolksunclesuncle gets hard and lubed up to fornicate in the aftermath. Anyone else experience that same game tonight? Just me? Cool, no need to bring it up again, just joshin' ya'll...

But those N-95's during Covid allowed so many criminals to fill U-hauls full of kids with tranny's heading to the border to swap them for illegals with enough fentanyl to kill enrolment on earth 5X over and that'll vote in our elections! The dumbest shit ever.

@Titandan you're a dumb cunt. We all know it. You know it. I just want to never let you forget! Did I nail that? Feels like I nailed that.

This is where is going, but it doesn't mean it's good. Unless it's from a credentialed expert in their field or a trusted journalist, it's all opinion pieces and should be treated as such.

I appreciate your practice of Christianity based on your posts. Religion of any sort, throughout history, has caused exponentially more harm to society, human progress, and our planet than good. Good people would've turned out to be good people without religion, but religion drives hate among the average person and extremism among the worst of people. Sure, you can point to good things from almost any teaching. Overall though, it's a net negative.
