It's for sympathy. I see it every time on the rare occasions I get on Facebook. Random women post cryptic messages about something in their life and other women jump in to say what happened and are you ok? Ever since social media gave everyone a voice, so many people used it to try and make themselves feel better about themselves.

I rarely get on any of the sites because I think they're cesspools and one of the biggest reasons for the downfall of mankind. We'd be so much better off if Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, etc., had never been created. About the only thing good about them is getting legit news instantly. Plus being easier to keep in touch with family and friends.
My only social media is here and that at times is bad enough.
 
If the spamming cannot or will not stop by a certain poster, then I'm talking to the mods.

Enough is enough.

There's a difference between friendly banter accompanied by occasional tweets and outright abuse.

Just put the guy on ignore. Wtf, dude.

Just curious since I've been away from the political thread for a while dealing with home stuff. Did you buy one of those daily calendars with quotes on each day and just started to tear them off nonstop 😆?
No, I research quotes, mainly from known conservatives or "conservative friendly" folks, compile and post. There are a few exceptions.

Some quotes came from individuals who have not been heard from in many years. Watergate conspirators, to name a few.
 
But, but, you've been saying for 4 years the economy is booming?

Now the election came down to the economy?

Village Idiot
Inflation was high. It's come down drastically in the last year. Most economic indicators like the unemployment rate, manufacturing, and job growth was good. No recession either.
Trump is inheriting a fantastic economy.

If only..... Unfortunately, they know who butters their bread and won't leave. Their self importance is so high that they don't want to go somewhere else and become irrelevant.

Most if not all of them are already irrelevant. It is their hate for this country and its real people that keeps them going in the spotlight by ranting and raving to those who feel the same. Squeaky Wheel and so on.
 
So how many more votes did Biden get than kamala and Obama?

Riddle me that one, Village Idiot.
Turnout was lower because Kamala was not a popular choice with Democrats.
She didn't go thru the primary process.
She was a better choice than Biden but she was not the first choice for many moderate Dems like me.
Go back and look at my posts on her when she was announced as the nominee. I considered not voting at all. Many Dems didn't.
Biden was not a popular President, including with Dems.
She was seen as the right hand woman of an unpopular President.
The vast majority of Dems wanted him to drop out long before he did to make way for someone that could win.
She also lost the votes of Hispanic men, black men and white women who were not happy with inflation and the border.
Ask the majority of Americans how they feel about Harris or Trump. Most are not fans of either. That's why turnout was lower.
 
Would LOVE to see how smug this know-it-all is today. Not only did Kamala not win the presidency, she didn't win the popular vote. I'll bet in normal, everyday life, this woman is hard to live with. Holier-than-thou, outsized opinion of her intelligence, morality and an overall 'I'm better than you' attitude are her calling cards. Crawl back into your basement and wait 4 years before you reappear.

And, must seriously stink...

Big assumption…obviously a lot can happen. Could be a cycle where the climate wants nothing to do with the Trump administration, could be the opposite.

But yes, will have to either wait four or eight years for anyone.

The DeSantis campaign and Super PAC (NBD) were notoriously chaotic. I’ll share some stories in person at a tailgate.
I am going to be kind of vague here as I don't want to get anyone in trouble. I am retired now, but I used to manufacturer wholesale lamp shades. A certain senator came to my area for a speech a few years ago. I made 2 lampshades with the MAGA logo on them and dropped them off with city workers, asking them to give one to the senator and to ask him to give the other to Donald Trump. They were nice shades, nothing junky or homemade as I did it for a living. I never heard anything back from anyone. I have no idea if Trump got them, if the senator even got them or if local people kept them or threw them away.

Democrats won't start winning elections until they focus on the working class and not donors. She raised more and spent more. Did she win? You need a message about how you're going to help people to get them to come out and vote for you. True or not, Trump had it and she didn't.

True. But I also think Biden waiting 3.5 years to address the border and high inflation were way more important to voters than abortion or women's issues which Kamala focused on.

What's your opinion on the legality of Musk's $1 million lottery?
What lottery?

If you are referring to the petition…anyone registered voter in a swing state could sign it and be eligible to win the million dollars. Didn’t even have to vote necessarily.

And it was fantastic. We made dozens of millionaires all over the country for simply signing a petition that agrees with the 1st and 2nd amendment online.

Voters were fired up for it.

.....but Citizens United....blah blah blah.

D-Sus. The parties have undergone a change. Your side is now the party of the sneering elite. The raging fems. The left side of the left wing who has abandoned those dirty unwashed working folks who I believe your leaders view as GARBAGE. When you view those who do not have degrees as your lessers, as beneath you, ones to demonize...then you are going to continue to lose them. Joe 6-pack knows that a man cannot have a baby. I don't think you have hit bottom yet.

Men just don't have abortion as a top issue. Women do, but they're already disproportionally voting D. Democrats are too focused on absorbing the Chamber of Commerce and defense Republicans who've been kicked out of the Trump coalition for their wallets. She campaigned with Liz Cheney for ****'s sake. They need to be focused on the working-class voters they're bleeding. For every dollar they pursue they lose multiple votes.
