Some do, many don’t. A fursuit is a costume, as a cosplayer in fandoms do, and I guarantee there are cosplayers that have sex in their costumes.
Knowing quite a few fursuiters there’s less of them that want to have sex in suit because it’s hot as fuck, makes you a lot more clumsy, and those suits are expensive as hell as they’re custom made.
Maybe… Maaaaaayyyyyyybeeeee the left voters need to actually show up to vote.
Now everyone is going to say they voted in a presidential election, possibly even a primary which makes them a rarity! Those aren’t what we’re talking about. The right has made it a point to vote on everything even as small as schoolboards so the only people voting in the tiny little races are the right wing rage crowd or the centrists who are being pulled to the right. Yes, the presidential vote matters, but frankly those lower down votes mean a lot more and if you watch how the Republican primaries are going, shows exactly how much power that batch that will show up has over a party.
Standard Millennial means I’ve had so so many, but I can define one specifically, my first “career” job.
Worked in a construction job with inspection. Anyone who’s worked in construction knows it’s feast or famine depending on season, winter/rainy season may not be a lot of work. I was told everyone was to help out around the lab, there was one full time lab guy who did need help. Took them at their word and helped him out, all the other techs ran away. This led to a lot of overtime. A LOT because I was in the field expected to show up to availability to jobs 24/7 but also work regular office hours. Led to interactions like in a meeting
“No more overtime, there’s too little work” “YES!” “No @Azal, you’re still bringing in money.”
As you can guess, there was a lot of bullshit piling on. But the one that made it happen was them taking out the one thing that made the job tolerable. The vacation policy was such that if a holiday came on and you had no hours, you didn’t get paid. All your PTO was earned a certain amount of time based on your work. What this meant was you had guys that worked there for years but barely scraped 40 hour weeks and used up all their PTO in hunting season and whined when there was no pay at Christmas. Me, who worked 80+ hours weeks was able to take a week long vacation, first I’ve ever done, and when a snowstorm blasted the state and shut everything down I didn’t miss out on pay when the week there was no work to be done.
So that next year they changed vacation policy. 1-5 years, 1 week vacation. 5-10 years 1.5 weeks and so on, now holidays didn’t count against your PTO.
I promptly went and got my CDL and left that shithole of a job.
100% this.
The Republicans have made it a point that there will be NO ticket where a democrat runs unopposed. They knew local laws would help. Hell, right now you can’t get a head of a library fight going without the republicans turning it into an outright vicious fight. They want to control all levels of government and are willing to do it. I was pissed during the election on Hillary on “Well, she’s not good enough” while not paying attention that they were aiming at the Supreme Court.
When it’s said “Go out and vote” it isn’t meant every 4 years when the presidential fight is up. It’s that daily grind over stupid petty laws that they chip away on in the cities, counties, etc that you need to be able to show up. The Republicans, and if you consider them separate the far right absolutely get this. I am shocked by the lefts inability to comprehend it.
“Several told POLITICO they fear the issue will play into Democrats’ characterization of Republicans as favoring a whitewashing of American history. Most saw it as an unforced error at the time when Black Republicans feel they’ve been making significant strides within the party.”
So VERY close to being self-aware, and yet so far.
