Unbearable.

It was always a toxic place but is now a disgrace to mankind.Deleted mine a month or so ago
This place is my only social media
The current young generation know nothing about the empire and do not hark back to a mythical golden age. We are not, however, insignificant in that we still have a large economy, a good deal of soft power and the advantages of the English language. Whether we will use them or continue to drift relatively downwards is the question.
It has in the last thirty or forty years, but they have now encountered some of the classic problems of overheating. They will be forced to pause. Demand is low, the growth target is now half what it was. The numbers are clear.Time will tell but wealth and power is rapidly heading East.
We'd like to think so but i've already had three (supposedly intelligent people) in the office make comments about loving Trump & wishing we had him over here.I diisagree, our electorate are more educated generally than the yanks.
Very little discussion here about how poor a candidate Harris was.
Always thought she would lose, personally.
A useless, insipid, undeserving and losing candidate. May that be her epitaph.
Didn't even have the guts to come out and address her supporters at Howard tonight.
She failed massively in 2020, not unlike @Piff Huxtable's idol John Delaney (PBUH). Got saved from Corey Booker's fate by Biden's largesse, being made the VP. How does she do? Who knows? Her VP tenure is largely forgettable. She's never spoken of as a serious replacement for Biden once he is term limited.
But all of a sudden, she gets handed the chance of a lifetime. Biden can't continue. The party blocks the idea of a primary to stress test the nominee, and they just fast track her in. And she runs, the most mid of mid campaigns I have ever seen
Her VP selection has the right idea on calling the MAGA folks weird. She shuts that down. She goes after the endorsements of reprehensible people like the Cheneys. She only releases her policy and platform after being badgered on it for weeks, because guess what, it didn't exist and she was running on vibes to start with. It comes out, and guess what, it's mid as fukk. Hedges on Lina Khan, one of the best choices Biden to his credit has ever made. Stonewalls the left on Palestine, not even giving an inch of hope beyond empty statements. Not one single fukking issue she stuck her neck out on apart from abortion, trying to play both sides.
And what has that left her with? A gigantic loss to the worst president this side of James fukking Buchanan. Not just the electoral vote, but the fukking popular vote. More people looked at her and Trump and went, yeah I'll go with Trump. What a useless failure of a politician.
Democrat stans will try and pin this loss on the left, on Elon, on A-rabs, on everyone else... But fukk that. The same way Gingrich, Gore, Kerry, McCain, Romney, Clinton and Trump owned their failures, Harris is gonna own and eat hers.
Bill Burr had this to say about Clinton 8 years ago. Sounds familiar?
I get sick of people making excuses for her. She blew it. See that, nobody thinks that... She blew it! Look, you lost to a guy who said 3 things a week that would torpedo anyone else's campaign, how do you do that? That's like you're playing a football game and the other team throws 20 interceptions and you still figure out how to blow it! At what point do you take responsibility? You blew it! You blew it... You put the wrong team around you, you didn't generate enough excitement to beat this guy...
Her political career is over too. Thank fukk for that. Go take up that lobbying job for the Third Way
