Just in time for the DNC to fuck it up

Nope not with kids and a lack of child care. One parent stays at home as their paycheck got devoured by child care and I work. Both of us with degrees in tech too. Once both kids are in school maybe she'll be able to work part time but obviously someone still has to go pick up the kids. I have zero family support. My parents died of cancer and meth.

I'd love a hybrid civic or corolla. Hybrid mostly to save on gas. I absolutely don't need a F150 or something

I actually used to ride believe it or not. But with starting a family and the insane amount of distracted driving here in the US I quit. It's disturbing to see people with their phone in their hands while driving. Plus I didnt want to leave my family without a father. I loved riding and still miss it

Feels like it. I'm getting the most pay in my life and 5 years ago it would have been comfortable. Now with the cost of everything I'm just eeking by. Hell I drive a 30 year old car still as I can't afford a new one or even a newer used one

It was hard enough as a millennial getting to the point I'm at and it's still not easy. I feel very bad for Gen Z. They're getting fucked over

Democrats absolutely abandoned the working class in favor of courting rich people. They need to get their act together

If you saw the arcade cabinet that popped in DC this is that same game

Yet somehow almost every other country is able to do it. But we can't do that and upset the insurance companies now can we

The military is one of (if not the) the largest socialist institutions in the US. They've always done this in one way or another

For the DSA their constant use of the word comrade in their literature. I get that it's not necessarily a communist party word but for a party trying to win popularity they really could use some rebranding with some of their literature. With that being said they'll likely get my vote if given the opportunity.

I don't mean to sound dramatic but this might be one of the most important elections in US history. It's absolutely going to set the course for the country

What's funny is with the cost of gas spiking I don't think it'll honestly have a huge effect (not saying I agree with rolling this back). People are tired
