But no such lecture for the constant accusations from Republicans that Democrats are communists.

Agree. Ambiguous outcomes reflect life itself, no weird rules are needed, and I can go to bed on time.

Good. If things go as expected, her loss would only matter as a warning to other weak-kneed Dems.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The likely reason, if this even is a thing, is Fox News and MAGA.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yeah, it's crazy after all that has happened to hear democrats chortling dismissively at the prospect of dirty tricks.

Pin this on your 'esteemed colleagues on the other side of the aisle'. Get them to respond or even refuse to condemn, and then tell everyone about it. Play your cards!

That's def part of the problem. People who own a small car for purely practical concerns will keep it for as long as it runs. A lot of new car sales depend on ego stroking.

Someone better on here said the question isn't why is the president taking so much aspirin it's why isn't that much aspirin taking the president.

I too was 14 and Libertarian, thanks for the laugh

It's very hard, there are minefields everywhere. Dolly was silent on political issues to her maintain popularity/profitability. But for a major political candidate to not sit down with his comms folks and iron out his words on all the obvious hot-button issues is inexcusable.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It sound like a comic book.

Stiff breeze, save us all.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yeah, I think I've heard it but it probably isn't the kind of thing my brain attaches itself to. I can't hum it. If you don't seek it out or listen to pop county radio, it's not hard to be unaware.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Not that he would have done any different

001

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

That's the disappointing part for me. Didn't have any lingering hope for Newsom

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

And think of all those fraudsters who never use their homeowners insurance. Cancel their policies!

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

It's never too late to meddle in an election if you are republicans.

Was it smart for Kamala to try to capture the Liz Cheney vote or not? Include these data points in your essay.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Maybe part of it is I'm old and gay and have a lifetime of practice voting for people who did not give my particular community the warmest of embraces. Now, almost all do. That's progress!

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

There were many such Democrats in the house and senate up through the 70s and a few even decades on. But they all supported a variety of other civil rights legislation, progressive taxation, SSI, etc. that benefitted people I care about.

And like clockwork, the blocks from randos commence.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Lots of people like me appreciate your good work in MN and agree and disagree with your posts with civility. Hang in there.

You have to back out just to play it cool.

We don't need to pretend this is real

She thinks the scandal is the high prices.

Free markets and personal liberties

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The problem, as always, is that the Republican message is sound-bite simple (albeit bigoted) whereas the rebuttle is nuanced, empathy-dependent, and research focused. That's a tough hand to play in the context of election messaging.

"That's just Trump being Trump" is both infuriating and entirely true.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

In my 60s now I happily find this type of info/advice irrelevant. Even setting aside the heart risks, sprinting, etc. requires the presence of cartilage.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Such a show might be familiarly amusing but would no doubt lack the spark of the original

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

They do not relent. If dems had a tenth of this...

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

But how? Don't gatekeep.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Please run against Jeffries. It's your time, don't pass it up.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Do you say "...annat" (i.e. "and so on") to finish a sentence? I've never distinguished an Iowa accent but that seems to be a common expression.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I don't even care about gov services, I just want to pay more property tax!

070

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I want to hear a prominent Democratic politician say exactly that.

000

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Sadly, that's how it would play out. But they shouldn't run on it or even engage in discussions about it, just blow it up and move to the next thing.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Printouts, huh? Natalie might need work in a few years.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

When your argument depends on people understanding "adjusted for inflation" or "in real terms" you've probably lost, as you know.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

There are points to be scored (with voters) on media behavior and dems just can't bring themselves to do it.

He should offer a few of those runs to Baz's next start.

Look away! The season's about to start and the Ravens are looking good, says the devil on my shoulder.

Same here. I just look like this.

I will always believe that nobody knows anything about wine.

HeyJoe @thatjoe.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Agree but in the 70s coming out of the energy crisis there was a lot of focus on MPGs and fuel efficiency and we slowly dropped all that for bigger SUVs and more horsepower. The incentives to evolve just weren't where they needed to be.
