He's running for President? :lol I had no idea. He can't even manage the collection of signatures to get on a ballot, and he thinks he can manage our country?

I took a dig at Lester for no reason other than he's a 100% certified asshole (in my opinion, anyways).
Flattery will get you nowhere. Go find someone else to molest.

Anyone who places no value whatsoever on a human life simply because you disagreed with that human's politics or religious views is an asshole. Plain and simple.

As to your question about defining a leftist, the full answer would require writing a book. What I will say is that within the spectrum of United States politics, Joe Biden's beliefs and policies fall squarely within left-wing politics. If anybody wants to argue that any of his policies are actually right-of-center in this country, be my guest. There may be a few, but the vast majority are not. As such, in order to support him, one would have to be a leftist. I would also argue that most (not all, but most) people who claim to be "moderate" are actually more to the left than to the right.
This goes 100% against your philosophy of 3rd party candidates being a wasted vote. Many people support him only because he is closer to their values, or the lesser of 2 evils.

Doug Burgum is giving $20 gift cards in exchange for campaign donations. Experts split on whether that's legal
So I gave him $1 via Apple Pay, and just got a virtual $20 Visa card that I used to donate to the Biden campaign! What a win-win!
Let’s hope you get it before UPS goes on strike. Going to be a H*** domino effect.

I don’t disagree with their demands. I am just trying to give a heads up regarding a logistics jam natinwide.

And they are getting a hefty raise too… $7 by the end of the 5 years and the full time drivers top out at $36 currently… I really am in the wrong business. They make my overtime wage just by showing up.

I have to suggest that he exploited many feeble-minded people in the name of God. He brought no value but hate to this country. How much did you donate to the 700 club?

Pat should be remembered for his inspirational words and Christian message. Nothing is more Christian than these comments from Pat.

All kidding aside, apply.
You've had a CDL for a few years. Which means you can pass the DOT. You've got experience driving a vehicle longer and larger than a UPS truck. Assuming you have a good attendance record, I'm thinking UPS would hire you right away.

According to this Detroit News article about UAW's contract, UPS is topping out at $49 an hour.
Like I said earlier, Rate. You got a CDL. You got experience driving vehicles larger and longer than UPS vans.
Don't cost nothing to put in an application. I think you'd get in. All kidding aside.

Here's a copy-n-paste from the article. It opened for me without talking about a firewall.

" ... The UAW's top wage is $32.32 per hour after two 3% wage increases since 2019. The union's proposal would bring that to $47.14, nearing the $49 per hour average top rate recently achieved in a tentative agreement by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters with United Parcel Service Inc ...
