Too bad this election won’t hinge on any actual issues whatsoever
- Consumers getting ripped off by credit card companies is an issue, and if Democrats are smart, they'll be making a big deal out of this. I doubt they're that smart unfortunately.
  
  Never underestimate an establishment Democrat's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
  
  I think their point is that reading and being informed isn't exactly driving the right atm
Is rip better or worse than slam?
- Its equivalent to 2-3 razzes
  
  How many burns are we talking? Will they need lotion for the burn?
  
  Man, I gotta brush up on my jounalisms
- Rip is worse than slice, which is worse than slam. Slam is worse than slap.
  
  I'm waiting for the ultimate, inevitable title that uses "curbstomp." Then we've reached peak hyperbole.
  
  I would actually respect curbstomp if they had the guts to use it lol.
  
  But at that point you would know everything is lost.
- I think blast is appropriate in this case.
Republicans siding with corporations screwing over everyone in America? That shouldn't be news to anyone. It's their entire platform.
both sides. both side. /s
Your words mean nothing to me
