They described him as a moderate in the article but I say we got a progressive agenda here in MN when we had our trifecta.

Frankly more people were excited about Tim Walz then Kamala Harris. Let’s get more MN politicians in there instead of people from the coasts. The focus on getting someone from the Midwest is the only good news I see. We need someone from Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan to lead the party from the inside. They might be fully progressive but understand how to organize and message to everyone. They can’t just float by on politics as usual

I know. I hate it. I don’t know why

We need a better second person plural in English. Y’all works but its a big language gap

I know this isn’t 100% on topic but I recommend you want this TED Talk by Esther Perel about infidelity. It might give you some different perspective about cheating and how to deal with it. Take a watch and see what she has to say. She is highly regarded and a very helpful.

I do think you should go after having a conversation with your ex-wife and child about it. Talk with your child about what they hope they are getting out of it and set some expectations about you wanting to spend most of your time with them. Tell them you might be angry about the situation which has nothing to do with them. Do the same with your ex-wife and say you want to go but you might be angry at points. Say it out loud so everyone is aware before it happens.

You can’t fully disconnected from these people since you have a kid with them without hurting your child. Its going to be tough and rough but this might be a good crash course into your new relationship with your ex-wife and her new husbands. You don’t have to like them but be friendly enough in front of your kid.

Also free fancy trip. Count it has blood money for the infidelity if that helps you

This is the correct response since they all co-parent a kid together they will run into each other in the future. You don’t have to be friends with this person but you got to be friendly. Give it a chance but make sure you have time to process and boundaries about what you think you can handle. This isn’t for you but your kid. Be the bigger man

It is hilarious and sad that Joe Rogan wields so much power. But the point still stands that we need an economic policy to succeed. We need a Bernie Sanders like policy going forward.

Agreed. Run on change for the better. Higher minimum wages, universal health care, paid sick time, paid maternity / paternity leave. This will get votes because people want something better in their pocket books. Student loan forgiveness was a great policy to run on. If it wasn’t blocked in courts it would have given a huge boost to Biden.

I know lots of people are really down on this but it seems like people just want change. We all know the system isn’t working for most people right now and want something different.

Trump is different. Bad but different. If you have little hope make sense to break everything. If there’s a real progressive change candidate people will be excited. Change is what is needed

My wife and I are not going to her side of family’s Thanksgiving this year since they are full Trumpers. Not worth seeing them since we don’t like them that much anyhow and they will be insufferable this year. We are in our mid 30s.

The best thing about being in the Midwest is you have to fly to anywhere cool. The worst thing about being in the Midwest if you have to fly anywhere cool.

The first one is always hard. It does look complicated but with mail ballots should be doable. These are the kind of thing that take at least a few cycles to understand what is working and what is not.

Reducing numbers or ranking the list by order would be helpful. I don’t see any order in this list but that might be helpful

The federal government is going to be gutted and destroyed. It’s time to focus on local change. Nationwide isn’t going to work for a while but focus on your city, your state, your block and your house. Live your values everywhere. Focus your attention on what matters and can be controlled

Layers are the key. Lots of small layers especially something sweat wicking on the bottom layers. It’s good to have lots of layers to add and subtract

Flip the Pool!!! Flip the Pool!!!

It seems like you have a lack of appreciation both at work and at home. Asking for compliments from your wife would help this with your new transition. I would suggest you start with thanking her for taking these responsibilities beforehand and ask if you can get it back in return. Gratitude goes both ways and is infectious. Start with thanking her and see if she does it back if you are feeling like you can’t ask.

See if you can get some appreciate at work by asking for it from your manager or anyone else. This is more difficult since people are pretty thankless in their jobs as well. Similar tactics of thanks others might get you thanks at work.

Dealing with the lack of thanks and gratitude is a complicated emotion to deal with. You will need to talk about it with the people who matter in your life. Some thanklessness is part of any job as well as being a parent and partner. But you should be able to ask for it and be appreciate it. I know I need lot more appreciation from my personal life if I am not getting it from my job.

Ah aristocratic English man. What haven’t you made terrible

It really seems like your job is a huge part of this problem. She has exciting new role energy for her job which has coordinate with her old job giving her praise. You on the other hand seem to be in a job that you either hate or don’t like very much. You are jealous of what she has with her new role.

I am going through the exact same thing with my job and my spouses job. She has an emotionally demanding helping profession job which is draining emotionally but she is great at it, loves her coworkers, has autonomy and does something useful for the world everyday. My job while much higher paying is a high stress and yet boring corporate job in which I get little praise and high complaints. I have been so jealous of her when she talks about work even when she is complaining. We have talked this through and I am going to find something better for myself but I understand the jealousy. I am both proud of what she does and jealous that it isn’t me. Relationships are complicated like that and you need to understand each portion of it.

You seem frustrated about the additional emotional labor and reasonability you are getting from her new job. This is highlighting how much emotional labor you have to put with at your job which you can’t give to your home life and family. It is exhausting putting on fake and false face for your job. This need to hide everything at work and its getting you in the habit to hide at home. Look for a new job and talk with your wife about how her new job is bringing up these complicated feelings about your role. You got this but need to talk it out

I wouldn’t go that far but for presidential politics yes. Local you can dream big

What it sounds like is an 18 year old who doesn’t yet understand how the world works and how voting will work. You will never get a candidate (especially for president) who 100% matches what you believe. You got to pick the best realistic choice and try to get the best you can. Realistically a president has a limit to power and can’t get everything but if you care abortion rights Kamala is who you pick. And getting a nationwide right to abortion back isn’t nearly impossible. Its hard but not impossible
