When we had a democratic mayor, she approved a 10 million dollar round about, and a 20 million dollar tax exemption for a new development.   We currently have a Republican mayor, who is vetoing everything.   We have homeless up the. Ass, absolutely no low income housing, and a huge generational fight on our hands.  What in the actual fuck,  someone please make this shit make sence to me.   Meh!

What, you want a leader that knows how to solve problems?

Stop being greedy. Lower your expectations and vote for Harris.

Ok, I'll take a leader that talks about solving problems, does nothing and then pretends that he's the automatic doors at a grocery store. BING. BONG.

I don't want to vote for Harris,  I don't want to vote for trump.  I don't even want to vote for the libertarian candidate this year (which is who I usually vote for).

I want to vote for social programs that actually work.   I want to vote for less needles in my playgrounds.  I want to vote for more audits in our government.  I want to vote for arts to be put back in the STEM program.  I know, I'm asking for a lot.

It shouldn't be tho. I don't think those things are too much to ask for.

They're not, but do social programs work in your state? 
Have you walked through the playgrounds on the outside of your city?
Have you walked through playgrounds inside your city?

I think I understand why people go postal now.  

I thought my area was a great place to set down roots.  I have lived here since 2002.  Lived through both den and pub presidents.  However,  covid blew my dreams apart.  

Because of Biden's and karmellas policies, immigrants and 'refugees' get housing, but American citizens do not.

We pour more money into undocumented citizenship, than we do into our own mental health.

I still hate trump, but I hate Harris even more.  


The democrats in my area have no problem blowing money on hotel rooms  for the homeless, but  ask them for more mental health resources and they shut right the fuck up.  

May you all get the life you deserve hah
