Freeze it. I grew up upper middle class, so the idea of freezing bread was mildly repugnant. Now I'm poor as fuck, and I can promise it doesn't make the slightest difference. Thaws quickly too.

I feel like at this point the Republicans don't have to worry about their policies being popular anymore. Their voters are stuck in an information bubble where anything they don't like is scapegoated on someone else.

Your updated number is still off by over a million. Not everyone over the age of 18 is eligible to vote. Not that it changes the point much, but you want to look for eligible voters vs over 18.

This may be a controversial take, but maybe we shouldn't surveil children in bathrooms full stop.

It's just people not finishing videos. Buffered but never played. In aggregate it adds up to a lot.

No, if you're low income and don't get healthcare through your employer it's pretty fucking awesome compared to what came before it, which was "oh, well you see the hospital exit there? Keep going until you hit the gutter and die there kthnx bye. Oh, you have insurance? Well your provider says this is a pre-existing condition, so refer to my original statement."

The subsidies on the ACA marketplace make insurance feasible, and the restrictions on pre-existing conditions make it actually useful. Even after being gutted.

You're spreading misinformation that could legitimately cause people harm by not seeking out coverage through Obamacare. Could it be better? Of course.

This. Leftist candidates won't be viable until far right candidates aren't. We're choosing between "I'll be a dictator" vs "democracy will continue" and the fascist is a likely outcome. The window has to move left to "democracy will continue" vs "maybe we can make things better". If you're holding out for a communist to be elected, that ain't happening in our lifetime. The revolution is not coming. Revolution only comes when life is utterly intolerable and the capitalists know better than to let that happen.

Our only real hope is to shift things that way over generations.

he could become somekind if whale killer martyr

Well that's just as easily solved by more killing. There can't be more than like 20 people in the country that have a massive boner for murdering whales.

IQs have been steadily increasing. Your premise is flawed.
