"Democrats are not doing enough to encourage people to vote for Democrats." is a warning, not a threat.

People who make and post memes like this seem to think that the people complaining about conservative Democrats and pointing out problems in the party are not voting for Democrats. I think they largely wrong about that. We are voting for all Democrats all the time, but warning you that your messaging sucks and you are not going to get the turnout you need. It is not our fault we were correct.

When I started having issues with the behavior of the church, I started reading into the history of the church, and the history of the Abrahamic religions. I read books written by scholars, archeologists, and anthropologists, not by theologians.

I cannot fathom how anybody learns how Christianity came to be and still believes any of it is true.

Tell Nicole to tell Rachel to ask her doctor about a sleep study. She may find out she needs her tonsils out, or has sleep apnea.

One reason is bad laws. I would love to replace my natural gas boiler and steam radiators with an electric heat pump system. It would be more efficient, cheaper to run, be able use solar power, and keep my house more comfortable.

But state law requires that buildings meet a specific efficiency requirement, which my house does not meet because it is 170 years old. I understand why they have that requirement for new construction, but it is stupid to not have an exception for old buildings.
