  • The owners and mods aren’t anonymous to anyone who can access a court order and I’d rather not have these communities shut down just so you can post scam links to “Doom” and some shitty low budget Jason Statham movie from your one day old account.

    If you hate this platform so much, what are you doing here? Sounds like you’re just upset that you’re not getting enough foot traffic to the place you have your scam hosted and are now lashing out about it.












  • It’s definitely worth driving an hour or two to a bigger city to buy a car there. What I’ve done with the last several vehicles I’ve bought was to stake out TrueCar.com, find the models I’m interested in, and then watch them over a month or two to see what is and isn’t a good selling price (crossreferenced with info from KBB.com).

    Once I’ve found one that seems like a good deal, I then applied for loans online with local CU’s after comparing their rates. Once approved, I headed to the dealership to buy the car, though if you’re driving a great distance you may call ahead to make sure they have it. It might also be worthwhile to find 2 or 3 other vehicles that are good deals so that you have a backup if the first doesn’t pan out.


  • But there’s nothing inherent to the system that says the candidate with a plurality of votes has to be Democrat or Republican right? So what the fuck is the problem?

    How did your Harris vote work out for you? How did your Clinton vote work out for you? What would have changed if you’d instead voted third party in either of these elections?

    Do you honestly think that even if a Dem wins in 2028 that the Republicans will just disappear, “we defeated them!” and they just go away? The Republicans keep getting elected because of the Dems, their shit candidates, and their bullshit milquetoast policy that never helps anyone. What have they done to deserve our votes other than “not being Republican?” You know who else isn’t Republican? Third parties.


  • They choose not to because they think other people won’t and those other people don’t because they think that you won’t. It’s a big feedback loop.

    From my perspective, the Dems are a shit party that’s more than happy to work with Republicans to destroy the country and its people, yet people still argue that they’re the “good guys” and that they deserve to win elections despite a Mt. Everest size pile of evidence to the contrary.

    Furthermore they keep throwing elections in order to get Republicans elected so what the fuck is your vote even good for if you’re just voting for a losing (D) candidate? You might as well take the risk and vote 3rd party in this situation because even if you lose it’s still not going to change the outcome.

    You say that primary votes are important, yet the DNC is more than happy to crush a popular candidate like Bernie if it’s not their chosen candidate. They put their thumb on the scale to sway the nomination toward the person they want. In 2024, we didn’t even get a primary because Biden went back on his word of only running one term and then dropped out to give us Harris. Again, what was your vote even good for here? Nothing.

    All of you guys want to fix things yet staunchly refuse to try anything different while expecting things to get better by repeating the same failed strategy. They won’t. How many more elections will it take for people to realize that?
