janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I don’t understand why Democrats think “we’re for the illicit army kidnapping citizens and terrorizing others” is a winning message. Even some boomers and moderates are alarmed how these “arrests” go, and the killings of protesters. This isn’t how law enforcement is supposed to operate under law! 000
janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Can we stop pretending that Cassidy is a “reasonable”republican yet? This is what he always does.

janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I’d guess a constant drum beat in media, especially certain media. I work at a nonprofit where I routinely get clients who are extremely poor, also very conservative, and who complain about recent cuts to public benefits a lot. Which they likely voted for. I think they hear it on Fox News. 110
janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 23/07/2026That’s my point. Say you are poor or middling. You might get a little more in a good economy, but overall, it does not seem to you like you’re improving, it’s just a little easier to hold your head above water. Your wages are still stagnant and the job isn’t advancing you much and prices rise. 130
janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Is it a mystery? The poor people are still poor. They know this. They don’t think the economy is working because it totally isn’t working for them. They have three jobs and can barely afford food and a terrible apartment. 491
janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Yes. There was a last minute push to encourage NOLA Dems, who were not enthusiastic about a conservative-lite, anti abortion candidate, to get out and vote. It helped push him over but I don’t remember the numbers. 020
janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Sure except that “guy economy” tends to exclude women. Somehow many dads don’t seem to know women who can do stuff. 060

janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Right! We heard all this BS from Biden about how he was ready to go from day one to fix things, and we got a bunch of slow walk commissions and willful refusals to actually do those fixes. 042
janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Can’t we just avoid this kind of BS by doing better candidate vetting??? We don’t need to run anyone with so many recurring issues.

janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 24/05/2026This is one of the more irritating features of our collapse— most of those in charge of it either ignore the issue or point it out and do NOTHING.

janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Gosh, and the overtime costs are coincidentally the same as what selling the Caesar’s lease is going to cost them in lost revenue.

janepatience.bsky.social @janepatience.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I wish they weren’t tying this so closely to the escape, because Hutson was repeatedly in the news for improper spending.
