The fact there is a bottle of Mtn Dew in the thumbnail is so wild.

    I am not an American, (I’m Canadian) I don’t know Tim at all. I heard AOC before and wonder why she is not your president yet lol she’s so great. But this little clip makes ne feel like Tim is a great dude. I wonder why the orange turd and his crazy running mate have any chances at all in the election !

    Like you have the choice between some crazy criminals and some good people and it’s a tight race ? I don’t get it.

        So an old dementia patient can be president but not a young active person who will also be affected by her decisions in the future, is too young ? You can go fight in a war at 18 but not president? WTF !

        You will put an old relic in power who will not care about the long future since they won’t be there !

      Billionaires own the way most people in the US (the world too) consume their news. It is a form of entertainment for many people. They stopped caring about facts and morals. They just care about “their team” winning and the other side getting hurt. The 2 party system has an “us vs them” mentality that hurts all of us in the long run.

      Most people that hate on AOC haven’t seen her speak in Congress or give statements. They just heard fox claimed she wants to ban steaks and burgers because of cow farts.

        cow farts

        Burps. Cows burp methane. Depends on their fodder, grass-fed ones produce less in the first place. We currently have fodder additives that are very good at reducing methane burps, and we have additives that reduce methane burps that are cheap, what’s missing is ones that are both very good and dirt cheap and it’s going to come but it’ll take another year or three.

        Fox News has been the most-watched news station in the USA for 22 years, trailed distantly by MSNBC and CNN. I very much agree this is the main reason. They’ve been crafting narratives that speak directly to conservatives fears, and keep them in a constant state of panic/hate so that they will vote squarely against their own interests when they elect the guy Fox tells them will solve their problems.

      Right?! Don’t these people know there’s a finite amount of attention people have, and posting stuff that isn’t doom and gloom is just going to squeeze out the important stories that are now impossible to read and process?!
