A message from Jeff Tweedy

This Election...

"Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of arguments against voting—like, 'it doesn’t matter' or 'both sides are the same'—and I’ve never found any of them to be very persuasive. I’ve always figured that even if they’re right, I’d still rather take some time out of my day and vote than shrug off my duty as a citizen and lose my right to bitch. Right now, however, I feel angry at the selfish and thoughtless nature of those types of excuses. If voting doesn’t matter, then I’d like someone to explain to me why some politicians work so hard to make it so difficult. What are they afraid of? If it doesn’t matter, why would they care? Well, it does matter a lot! What they’re afraid of is how radically our country would change if all the decent and fair-minded citizens who have disenfranchised themselves by convincing themselves it’s pointless to vote stopped giving their rights away willingly. Vote! If you weren’t allowed to, I’m pretty certain you’d want to real bad."

Major setback for Poland's ruling populists in mayoral races

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's populist ruling party suffered a major setback in the country's mayoral races, losing not only in all large cities but also in most mid-size and smaller cities. The results Monday dashed the ruling party's ambitions for greater power nationally and showed the flaws of the party's courtship of the far right.

In other words, despite the horrors we've recently seen in Brazil and elsewhere, Bannon's international "revolution"

isn't ironclad, and we may already be witnessing the start of a real voting backlash against this shitshow. From Warsaw to Washington, people!

and, if we get the House, we can start with rational foreign policy again. I'm really looking forward to some of our new Reps! Plus, GO BETO!!

Wish me luck!

Guess I should start by saying, All The Luck to you, Robert!

The way it reads to me, your post romanticizes the process of this glorious day. Was there lots of discussions between the passengers on the train, possibly a sense of excitement in the air? Not sure what you mean by -gets too exciting- but having an escape plan is always a good thing.

Here in Texas I’m just waking up from a day of sleep. I’ll be watching the returns from home, flipping between CNN & FOX. I’ll also be dropping in on ABC/CBS for local coverage. However, if you follow informative people, Twitter rules all!

Oh-I’ll also kick it old school tuning in to AM radio......and my wife will make popcorn.

Hope you enjoyed your lunch, Robert......now you e made me hungry so I’m going to make myself a sandwich.

Take care of you and STAY SAFE!!!

Perhaps a little late for this, but I just saw an e-mail from Amanda Palmer with the following pic:

You weren't all blue balls from the last cycle? Given how much nut kicking apparently went on? Just checking

It's a sidenote now, but how fucking dumb is Hannity? First of all, him playing a starring role at the Trump rally shows that Fox isn't even pretending anymore. And secondly, he didn't think that discussing this with his bosses beforehand was important? I'm actually surprised that Fox made a statement about not condoning this.

I hope Michael Cohen's "archives" on his ex-client Hannity see the light of day soon. That motherfucker's gotta have some serious corpses in the closet.

Fox knows who butters their bread - are media pundits not allowed to have any opinions for some reason off their show? You're actually asking why he takes advantage of free speech?

I bet 99% of you who keep asserting a "left" moral superiority on this board have never even read Das Capital. You think the revolution is getting rid of women's restrooms.

The machine fucked up when I scanned my ballot so I don't think my vote counted. Not that it matters in NY - its a big demoRATic machine here.

My wife attends a Telaflora Presidents convention in Los Angeles every January. A few years back, the Albuquerque President gave one of those Candy Lady packages to every President and my wife brought home some Crystal Blue Persuasion

ha ha ha!

yeah, they are still very popular

anyway, speaking of politics (it’s the thread), the movie industry has been very good to this state, thanks to bill richardson whose administration created the tax incentives and supported the development of infrastructure, education, etc,.

now, richardson was no saint, so he was succeeded by a republican who promised reforms and ended the same as everyone, so after 6 years of susana la tejana martínez i’m ready for another democrat as a governor.

Not sure what is happening here and in other threads, because I have tesla on ignore, but....is he having a difficult day today?
