And I actually was in the service myself. I fail to understand what the point of putting something like this on your car/ truck is. It's almost like the parent is trying to fill a void, and somehow thinks that their son or daughter's life accomplishments are their accomplishments too. Why don't we just do away with bumper stickers altogether? They serve no purpose. You don't need to put your political views or any of your family's business on display to the public. Just keep it to yourself

I am personally disgusted by nail polish, especially when it's what people would call "put together" or "clean". For this reason, it has always been surprising to me that so many women wear nail polish. It also seems like more women are wearing it than ever in the past.

I have a few theories:

1. Some women like the look (I've seen many women with an obsession with "toe beans" on animals, so nail polish kind of resembles them when your nails are highly contrasted with your hands);

2. It is used by women to present themselves as "clean" which can sometimes (but not necessarily always) be them overcompensating for otherwise being seen as dirty.

3. Many women are in competition with each other so the women that would otherwise not wear nail polish are now wearing it as a result of peer-pressure. Perhaps older women also pressure younger women too.

4. There are men who like it.

If you wear nail polish, why do you do it (feel free to elaborate in your answer)? And where on Earth are the women who refuse to wear nail polish?

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) crushed his DSA backed opponent, Kai Newkirk, taking 2/3s of the vote in Tuesday’s democratic primary. Do you consider this to be a good thing or a bad thing?

The debate over the DSA often gets reduced to policies people associate with Nordic or Scandinavian countries—healthcare, stronger unions, expanded social programs, and a larger welfare state.

But the Democratic Socialists of America are proposing much more than that.

Their current national program says the working class needs “a new political system.” It calls for abolishing the Electoral College, replacing the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress, and abolishing the Senate.

That is why I find it so troubling when people defend the economic policies they like while seemingly ignoring the far more sweeping changes the DSA wants to make to the structure of the federal government.

You can support those changes if that is honestly your position. I strongly oppose them. But they should at least be acknowledged and debated openly rather than treated like an insignificant footnote.

My question is whether support for the more appealing progressive policies causes too many people to overlook just how radical the DSA’s broader political agenda actually is.
