Checked the #Patreon page for #Mastodon again just now. We are tantalizingly close to the current fundraising goal, with $11,375 of $12,000 raised. Join me in donating. We can hit the target easily if enough of the #twittermigration #twexit #influx chip in. Let's get @Gargron and team to $12k per month.

The money parties spend trying to get votes from folks like this and trying infer their policy preferences from polls and election results is just incredibly funny when you think about while listening to segments like this.

Listening to the BBC and a "swing voter" appears to be blaming Joe Biden for not bringing down the cost of parking at the aquarium in Boston.
