The Dem's opposition to the GOP is so ineffectual that it's almost a joke to call it an opposition. Even when they had the majority in the House, Senate, and had the White House they couldn't get anything done without it being completely undermined by the Republicans. Compare that to what the Republicans have accomplished since Trump's election.
The DNC hasn't been a liberal party since probably LBJ. Clinton was basically a Republican running under the DNC banner, because it gave him wild crossover appeal to voters and donors alike. And at this point, they have no real agenda or integrity aside from maintaining the status quo and looking progressive while stepping on as few corporate toes as possible. Of course you've got Bernie's camp who are actually on the left, but they make up a minority within the party and aren't without their own flaws.
And that's the DNC's catch-22, they can either adopt a more progressive, populist agenda like what Bernie presents and gain back some trust from their constituents, remain relevant, and probably get a bunch of votes along the way, but lose a whole lot of money in doing so. Or continue down their current, more profitable, path and die a slow, disappointing death.

They are 100% NOT trying to implement a socialist regime. The US has a government quite literally owned and run by capitalists, why would they be trying to install a system that would result in them losing wealth?
The passed budget bestowed an extra 150 BILLION dollars to our military and Trump basically came out in saying he wants to take guns away from US citizens. The Republican party is an open enemy of the 1st Amendment and the Democrats are fine with the Republicans doing their thing as long as those sweet donor dollars keep rolling in. They're cutting education to keep us ignorant, cutting medicare and medicaid to keep us distracted by illness, promoting fake news and misinformation, while denouncing actual news as fake news, to keep people in a tail spin where they can't tell truth from lies, reality from fiction. Fuck McDonalds.
This is not socialism, this is plutocratic fascism.

I think the whole point of this administration is to keep people in such a state of bewilderment that they can't focus their opposition into a singular movement, despite the great work being done to strip US citizens of their liberties, privacy, power, etc.
I can't think of any other reason shit like this could make it into the public eye. Not because of the message, plenty of politicians speak against violence in video games, but how fucking crude it's being put forth. It just makes no sense for any political entity to being peddling tripe like this, yet here we are.

Thank goodness, I made it here just in time to catch a glimpse of mr. Harvest, returned from his long journey on the wild, weird, sorta terrible and scary road we call life, but others, more sophisticated than ourselves, refer to as "a tangerine."(for reasons that elude even our brightest scientific minds, still)

Vinyl's come back in a huge way (like 53% annual revenue increase huge), just about every current artist I know of big or small is releasing their albums on vinyl.

Imo you need to be in few relationships before you're actually good at being in one. I found out how shitty of a boyfriend I made the first time I was in one (though I only realized it later on). Even my current relationship took a lot of work on my part to be good at it, going on 5 months together now. Obviously this isnt the same for everyone, but if you're an extremely independent individual like me, you'll most likely find some personal roadblocks regarding how you communicate with your partner.
My advice: If you see someone you fancy, ask them out! Being in a relationship can lead to a lot of personal growth, if you're willing!

Relationships are kinda meh until your significant other cleans your entire apartment while you're away and you realize you can never again exist as a functional independent lifeform.
