Quote from @James Hamling:

I am the forecaster of forecasters and not even I would dare a venture at projecting the future of either party. If I was forced, I would have to say I am much more pessimistic on survival of D's simply from the basis that they have history going against them, meaning the historical actions of that party and being in this tech-age, it's only a matter of time before such very ugly history comes into the forefront. It's hard for a party to sell itself as pro-minority when it founded the Klan, I mean come on right. Going all the way back to war of independence, D has stood against all things modern USA stands for, I am personally shocked this info has not already come to the forefront. 

The R has such history to fall back on as Abraham Lincoln and abolishment of slavery, that's a pretty big feather int he cap wouldn't one say. 

Although as i said, who knows, fact's and truths don't seem to play much of a central position anymore. 

What would be AMAZING is not just a strong viable 3rd party, but a 4th, 5th. The problem is the choice today, it's sh#t-sandwich or turd-burger, and that IS the popular vote position. If some viable alternatives arose, the most likely outcome is the death or near death decay of BOTH D & R party, right. 

Most people today don't vote for parties, they vote for results, hopes, solutions, what a person promises. There voting for the results they think that person/group will bring. It's not as it was decades back, people are very comfortable party jumping today, that is generations of gen-x and later, no loyalty to a party just on banner, no, people expect them to deliver. 

And let's be honest, most are not feeling D's are delivering today are they? Nothing is better, arguably everything is worse. It makes minds open to changing up decision process. 

Hey, how awesome would it be if there was NO parties, just people. That's it, just people who get elected on them, there word. And bills were done on it's merit not on the symbol carried by the one delivering it. 

Nothing good comes from a nation divided. 


 agree that both parties are in a crisis mode, tho i'd argue that the left is far more polarized than the right, as far as their mainstream ideology is concerned. more people within the dem party are becoming more and more off-center than their repub counterparts. the msm (and grandpa with his speeches lately) would want you to believe otherwise. too bad repubs don't really have a platform other than "look at these loons on the left." they had the congress, senate, and presidency in 2016. blew it bigly.  i am glad to see the old rhinos getting slowly flushed down the toilet lately, so there is hope. 

the dems do have an answer to your historical questioning (re:klan, etc) - "tHe PaRtIeS hAvE sHiFtEd IdEoLoGiEs!11!!" yeah, sure thing... 

James, you sounded just like John Lenon there at the end with the "imagine"-like lines lol We need to understand and realize just who was sawing this division. All you have to do is go back in time and observe every single msm outlet starting around late 2015.

So yes people are frustrated and yes they will continue to flop. I happen to believe the dems will hold more power in future years because of the frustration. And frankly given the shifts on the popular vote in recent years that trend should be obvious.

you have to be kidding. in what solar galaxy is that scenario a potential reality? i'm all ears.

 you are looking at just 2-4 year spans. I'm looking at something closer to 8-15 years. The timing has been good for GOP with economy for midterms. I don't believe it will be as red as it should be or that it will last. People are flipping because they are frustrated on economy. They will flip again. Not trying to turn this into a full political discussion but the PA senate race or Georgia Senate race are good examples. 

But sure my reality is wrong :). never mind I don't care who wins because it's all more of the same. 


at the rate those people are going, they might not even have a party in 8-15 years from now. you must not be aware of the "policies" and agendas that are getting peddled to make statements like the one above. good luck out there, Mike.

 Funny I hear the same from the left about the right. I'm guessing you are were surprised by 2020 results then?  Well aware of them all. I just don't care about it from either side.. All more of the same. 


 surprised? what are you talking about? your boy barely pulled ahead in key precincts. some sketchy stuff went down in 2020, that's a fact. thank god we are not ruled by the popular vote electees. 


 My boy? I don't care about him. But you just proved my point. Visit the coasts you'll find entirely different people from Ok / Texas (placed I am a lot and know well). Theres a reason why popular vote keeps trending up. And will continue too for years. one of us does have our head in the sand. I agree. Time will tell who but I don't think it will be me surprised. 


 you don't? you should, because he represents everything that is wrong in DC. i visited (and even lived on) the coasts, rest assured. you just made a whole bunch of assumptions because of my listed location, btw. i wasn't even born here, so i'm pretty sure i'm a bit more well-versed than you when it comes to having a well-rounded world view. 


 Location was an assumption sure but nothing to do with that logic jump. It was the comment about dems disappearing. They will only grow over the next 10-15 years. To me it's not about right or wrong but the data behind it. So the logic leap was because of that comment. If you actually believe dems will be pushed out, I have to make assumptions. 


nothing to do with your "Visit the coasts you'll find entirely different people from Ok / Texas"? Just what exactly did you mean by that one then?

"They will only grow over the next 10-15 years."

again, you're making these wild statements without any sort of rational explanation other than "the coast people know better" thing. 

"To me it's not about right or wrong but the data behind it."

where is it, the data? if anything, people with some level of intelligence are trying to leave those hell holes in a jiffy. post-covid migration is very telling, in light of how those "coasts know better" places (mis)handled the pandemic response.

"If you actually believe dems will be pushed out, I have to make assumptions. "

i didn't say they "will" disappear, i simply said they have a good chance of doing so if they keep going down the rabbit hole with their current ideology.

Maybe to attract the Fixer crowd.

In pic one I could probably get some good renters for it in this way in a B+ neighborhood.

In pic 2 (with the peeling paint fixed) I can picture the typical renter for it in a C area. Nothing wrong with that, but more rental dollars are always nice. But not Primer Grey.


Your renovated pic was missing something. I fixed it for you.


needs a hipster with a grilled cheese/avocado toast and a vape in the after pic.

cig and a burger or an e-cig and a fake meat burger? that's my only question.

Quote from @Greg R.:

Watch the diesel. We have the lowest inventory since 2008 of diesel. Nothing moves without diesel; ships, trains, trucks - food, medicine, supplies and on and on all rely on affordable and available diesel. And that is what we no longer have enough of.  That changes all predictions.
Saw a couple articles about this over the weekend. This can be a massive problem, a complete game changer. Looks like there could be some major consequences for grandpa draining the strategic petroleum reserve.


watch those food price keep exploding also. we shop at wholefoods (yeah, yeah, whole paycheck jokes never get old, esp. right now), but the dairy prices exploded even more in the past couple of weeks. it's gonna keep getting uglier for the foreseeable future. the scariest thing about grandpa is that it's not him calling the shots. let that sink in.
