I think this is the reason. Look at the midterms. A red wave that was supposed to be a massacre was not even close to that. It was a fantastic disappointment for the GOP. People are tired of the crazy morons and they have made it clear they’d rather stay home than vote for them. They won’t change anything for 2024 either. And the GOP will stay home.

I don’t want an average Joe American in the WH either. The average Joe is wholly unqualified for it.

What option do I have? Let’s be realistic. The Republican Party is gross. Every single one of their social stances are dog shit and hateful. They openly support fascism. They are unvotable. Voting for an independent is throwing away my vote. While Democrats are not perfect they are easily the best option by a country mile. I only have one realistic option. I wish I had more realistic choices but I don’t.

Very true. I need to change to independent. I wish they would pick some average joe American. They would probably be the best (job title) we ever had. I find myself voting 3rd party a lot because the candidates are normal people.

I don't know if it needs to be outlawed, but we need to stop pretending it doesn't harm to both the individual and society.

Then again, if driving was automated, it would be one less alcohol related problem.

I don't even know why they called him Tik Tok dad? Literally, it was all about the accident and the drunk driver until the last paragraph, and it only said he reached out on Tik Tok to raise funds for the funeral.

How ridiculous.

All that aside, how tragic. I feel sorry for this family, this girl, the driver and his family.

Let's hope we never hear of another drunken driver.

Idiocracy

And if they're concerned about their jobs, which this election could make happen, they may consider being a little more reasonable on the subject.

Only no. If you look at surveys or analysis of Boomers compared to every younger generation at relative age periods, Boomers have always been further to the right with narcissistic behaviors that aren’t seen in younger gens.

Maybe. But I definitely see something in teens today that I didn't see much of in my own teen years - compassion. I'm sure it was there before, but in greater numbers teens seem to care about social issues and something bigger than themselves more than ever before.

Run crappy candidates, take crazy positions, and the result is a come-from-ahead loss.

So Shapiro supported it as AG and will appeal it as Governor? Am I understanding that correctly? If so, why?

I call it "State College".

I mean, socialists do exist in the country - in our govt is another story entirely

Millennials and Gen Z are turning out to vote and if you think any of us are in support of the current Republican ideology of more guns, more religion and anything to help out big corporations, then I'll stick a kazoo up my ass and run naked down the Scranton Expressway.

The Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad still operates in the area. They are part of the North Shore Railroad System. The closest they ever get to Penn State is probably their line along Logan Run out past the Nittany Mall. Not surprising you never heard them over the sound of you turning pages and studying hard.

Seriously. All that time I thought it was!!

Why not look at the court case? They proved to the judge that inequitable funding directing harms kids.

I’m honestly not interested in changing your mind. I’ve asked you numerous times about your metric for parent engagement. You’ve ignored it and then ask me to prove myself? You’re clearly not arguing in good faith.

Have the day you deserve, sir. :)

Tell me about it! I would still have mine if someone hadn't crossed over the center line and totaled it.

Said every generation ever.

The popularity of this fallacy is timeless. In 50 years the generation of teens and 20-something will be eager for the deaths of the unrepentantly backward, greedy and immoral Gen Z.

It's crazy how much those things are worth today.

That is incredibly useful. Thanks!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it best last night, the choice is between normal and crazy. And that’s why the Republicans keep losing. Because we keep choosing normal over their crazy.

There was a post stickied to the top of the subreddit for over a month about the election.
