It’s tough because reactionaries have shown an uptick in deploying concerntrolling campaign tactics and libs aren’t necessarily prepared for it

I prefer Mammon but a demon of pestilence makes sense too

Thankfully he had made a friend with another released detainee from the area, so he had a safe place to wait for me to travel from Minnesota. But I finally got to meet this guy for the first time at 11:30pm outside of a gas station in a Texas town I’d never been to before.

It's crazy that even phrasing the question like this only gets them to 15% unfavorable.

Elect me president and I will endeavor to create an exchange program with China where they send us guys and we send them girls. My second promise is to rebuild the land bridge connecting America to Asia.

In poll after poll it’s young men who want to settle down and start a family, and it’s women who are most concerned about financial stability, which contradicts the OP entirely

What’s your problem with living next door to an apartment building exactly this never made sense to me

The Enchantment of Mammon makes this self-evident!

Ya know my gf’s parents were grousing about People’s Gas losing suburban generator capacity and I’d love to just have all the local energy news in one place
