    Meijer - $20 (20k mperks points) off $50+ PSN/Xbox credit thru 11/25

    As part of their ongoing 3 day sale Meijer is giving 20k Mperks points, aka $20, when you buy at least $50 of certain gift cards.  If you buy the "One4All" gift card you can redeem it for Xbox or Playstation credit, or a bunch of other brands. 

     

    I had the mperks points in my account within an hour, and just redeemed my $50 gc for PSN credit with no issues.  If you shop at Meijer anyway, this is 40% off Sony or MS credit if you do the minimum $50 gift card purchase.  If you put $70 on it that would be a new full price game for $50.  I believe this can only be used once per Mperks account.

    The Top Ranks Of The Dem Party Are Filled With Bad People

    Also, they're bad at their one job (winning) and they're unwilling to take responsibility. I do agree with them that they should find this anonymous trans woman who runs the DNC and fire her, because she has been doing a bad job, too.


    It isn't unreasonable to expect the "good guys" party to be led by people who aren't incompetent moral monsters.

    So What Are You Going To Do About It

    People regularly bring up the focus group organizers who said that a problem that they face is that participants refuse to believe that Republicans are planning to do the things they are planning to do. Nobody could be that evil! More than that, if they were then surely I would have heard about it before!


    There are a lot of reasons Dems have a messaging problem (among other problems) but one is that even calling them "weird" is too spicy for Biden-era consultants. The press won't call them "evil plans" for you.





    r

    We Do This After Every Election (Almost)

    1) Are the Democrats too Right or Too Left?

    2) The Democrats Have A Media Problem

    3) Being a Democrat should be a Membership With Benefits

    The first is a debate, the second is inarguable even if the prescriptions differ, the third is something which is also a good idea but no one ever  follows through with it.

    There actually was a lot of money pumped into a media effort recently, and I don't like to dump on it because I suppose any effort should be encouraged, but that most of you have never heard of it tells the story.

    "The Left" Didn't Give Us Enough Credit

    This has been trotted out for years, mostly about Afghanistan, and which "Left" are you talking about? There is no "Left" in the NYT (Bouie but it isn't really his beat), the Washington Post, CNN... MSNBC has Hayes and he did!

    If you want credit from this unnamed Left, you'd better empower them. The Chapo guys gave you a lot of credit! Then they criticized you for other things! That's how it works!
