    Former 5 time a week gym member here.

    Treadmill at the gym has HVAC, no cars that blow red lights and almost kill you. You can have a conversation with someone while you are on treadmill or you can safely put on headphones and rock out. You can run yourself ragged, and all the water and benches you want are just a few feet away instead of being another exausting run back to your house. The gym is usually secured with a key or fob. There are other runners there who have great knowledge about shoes, technique/form, workout routines…etc etc.

    Lots of reasons why you would drive to the gym and run, instead of just running to the gym.

    The idea that campaigns get aborted is indefensible?

    No, you’re moving your goalpost again. We have not “aborted” the campaign of an incumbent president.

    That we don’t elect presidents for 8 years?

    This is a poor strawman that you have built and has been refuted, please refer back.

    That the DNC leans hard on any dissent to prevent such an end to Biden’s campaign

    Finally, something new and of substance. Yes, the DNC has had a history of picking favorite candidates. Unfortunately, this is the first time you’ve brought this up, hence why I haven’t addressed it, and at this point, I have serious doubts about you arguing in good faith. Please address my original questions before I address any more of yours.

    The only thing you’ve done is denied, fearmongered, and shouted what about trump.

    Citations needed.

    That’s not something I’m going to spend more than a couple minutes responding to.

    Yep, and it shows, with your piss poor logic, inability to recall, and time wasting dribble that you call a “response”.

    Clearly you don’t understand what a whataboutism is.

    Your position was logically indefensible, which I have demonstrated (without your answers, or lack thereof, to my original challenge) even after you moved the goalposts. If you wish to discuss this further, you’ll need to clear the initial (very low) bar I laid out for honest discourse. It’s time you put some skin in the game, instead of polluting my screen with vacuous replies from the safety of political/social anonymity.

    Are you talking about Truman? One guy who started to seek the presidency, after serving 1.5 terms, and then pulling out before being the presumptive nominee? I don’t think history is on your side for this one.

    Also, answer the questions please.

    Edit: You actually said “We have absolutely aborted the campaigns of incumbent presidents before.” Implying that the candidate did not win their nomination. Let’s go ahead and put those goalposts back where they were initially.

    Not just voter abstention, but ineffective voting too. Voting 3rd in this election is a surefire way to get trump back in office. If you wanted to stick it to Biden and get someone else, your chance was 4 years ago during the primary.

    You’re not voting Biden because you like him, you’re voting Biden because you want to be able to vote for someone else in 2028. That is literally what is at stake here, and it can’t be said loud enough or often enough.

    Before the “real left” quisling trolls respond, please tell us two things… Who is the 3rd party candidate you are supporting instead? What are their chances of winning this election?



  • Had to do this for my dryer. Was broken for 3 months. I let the rental office know every few days that it wasn’t working. Eventually ran a clothesline on my porch and literally aired my “dirty” laundry in public. Got a warning about being in breach of the lease terms, went back to the office the same hour with the escrow paperwork and a copy of the lease terms that they were in breach of (maintaining appliances, responding in a timely fashion) and brought excerpts from my states rental laws showing them that I was in the right to put the account in escrow, and that I could bill them for the escrow fees and my time.

    Dryer was fixed the next day.
