By the way the next person who tells me in real life that the founders were geniuses might get punched in the face.
Fuck it night off, I’m getting smashed too, phoning a takeout and putting on some tunes after I watch the making of Batman
I don’t think I’ve had a drink all year so its over due…
Anyways, @microbet is correct in that everyone should be aware just who you are criticising today & tomorrow.
They won, be careful out there…

Jesus that is some Aaron Sorkin level fantasy-land bullshit. Literally a West Wing episode.
You went almost nine full months of 2020 without a single drink? Are you superhuman?

This was all the most likely outcome of Trump winning in 2016. We’ve run really good up until this point, as hard as it is to believe. We are nowhere near the spectrum of worst possible things that could have happenned over these four years on election night 2016. God only knows how close we came to total nuclear war with North Korea and/or China. I get it, it sucks that we made it all the way to September fucking 18th and still had hope that the Supreme Court wasn’t fucked for the rest of our lives, but that was always the most likely outcome. It is what it is at this point. We still have a chance to fade four more years of Trump. So these are things that are going ot happen, there is no way around it:
- The ACA is going to be struck down the week after the election. Millions will lose their health insurance and the insurance markets will collapse;
- Abortions will become functionally illegal in red states. Probably not in blue states;
- The commerce clause is about to become dead letter and Congress is about to lose all ability to pas any kind of social welfare legislation. This is probably the biggest impact to everyone’s every day lives that nobody realizes. Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if this is the end of social security and Medicare/Medicaid.

What’s the most lol-tastical thing is that certain UnStuckers imagine that posting here on our virtual water cooler could ever be a “tap on a glass” to begin with.
Posting is not Praxis! SMH.
I’ve never been a social drinker, so maybe lol… I smoke weed everyday and I’ve always drove a car + drink just never done it for me.
It’s a funny one because I don’t trust drinkers because of my childhood & people don’t trust folks who refuse a drink for some other reasons unknown to me.

Yeah in early 2020 I thought wow maybe we can luckbox this and fade the worst scenarios. Oops.
Arguments 11/10, ruling likely not until 2021 right? So if we’ve already enrolled for 2021 plans by then we may be okay til 1/1/22.
I agree with this. I think the end of Social Security and Medicare is just going to be the end of the payroll tax, blame Dems for running the programs into the ground when they run out of money and don’t replace them.
If SS and Medicare go, we might as well all YOLO and just do all the drugs once we reach retirement age.

I’ve gone almost seven full months, and I proly won’t have a drink until there is a medical breakthrough re:covid. I gotta feeling a lot of drinkers will end up being non-drinkers because of the pandemic… and we already know a lotta drinkers have become problem drinkers for the same reason.

We are definitely drawing live to abortion being declared unconstitutional
Everything RBG worked so hard for is in jeopardy because of one mistake. Republicans can play 2D checkers because Dems are terrible strategists.

I blame Amazon and being able to get literally everything delivered. It’s harder than ever to inconvenience the masses.
We’re drawing live to homosexuality being declared illegal. Nothing is safe.

We need to completely eradicate this line of thinking. It’s a loser’s mentality that leads to self-defeating strategy contradictions and paradoxes. You can always argue against yourself with this logic. What we usually get is this:
Let’s avoid directly doing the thing we’re trying to accomplish because that will motivate our opponents. Let’s instead do another thing we aren’t trying to accomplish.
It’s playing not to lose instead of playing to win which the left is expert at when they have the ball and the lead. It’s why we don’t have healthcare, for instance. We had the ball, we had the lead, and we [drumroll] kicked a field goal inside the one yard line on third down in case of a bad snap. Now the play is under review for like the nineteenth consecutive time and will finally get overturned when the aging refs are replaced by 4chan posters.
We have the numbers. They don’t. Let’s focus on getting our team to show up instead of worrying about what happens if we run up the score with a big lead. Only losers worry about winning by too much.

No, homosexuality and interracial marriages aren’t going to be made illegal. Cmon.
Yes, Roe v. Wade is going to be struck down. No, that won’t ban all abortion. Access will be harder for many, but it’ll still be available for most.
Bad stuff for sure, and things are terrifically fucked, but we don’t have to look silly and talk about rounding up gay folks and butchering them in the streets.

You’re right. The GOP loves minorities.
To be clear, I didn’t mean this will happen right away. But 25-50 years from now? Absolutely.
