Liquor stores have the best boxes and the clerks hate having to break them down. Go to the local liquor store and ask them for boxes. You’ll get all you need.
Another good trick. Instead of packing delicates like plates with paper, use clean clothes. T-shirts will keep things from breaking and you cut down on the number of boxes.
The Left keeps not voting in hopes the Dems will come to them.
It’s not going to work next time either.
I’m sure that the same people who couldn’t deliver Bernie Sanders an overwhelming win in 2020 can suddenly become savvy pols who can just put together a national third party.
If you want action, do what AOC and the others in her squad did. Work inside the Dem party.
Take a lesson from the right. Back in the 1970s Jerry Falwell decided to take control of the GOP. He did it from the ground up. If the local GOP club had had twenty people show up to the last meeting to pick the next county clerk, Falwell’s people would show up with fifty people. Soon those county clerks and sheriffs were becoming Congresspeople and Senators.
Politics is a game and the left sucks at playing it.
There’s an urban legend in New York City.
One day, a patrol car in the Bronx finds a headless body laying in the street. The victim’s hands, feet, and skin was removed. There’s a massive response to find the deranged killer. Everything gets called off in a few hours, after the coroner realizes that it’s the body of a gorilla.
There was a hot dog factory in the area.
iirc Dick Greyson has dated Batgirl, Catwoman, Supergirl, Starfire, and had a fling with Harley Quinn.
The guy’s go nothing to complain about.
Could be.
Off topic but fun.
The book ‘The Carpetbaggers’ became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?
When Stan Lee created Tony back in the 1960’s he probably took his inspiration from Howard Hughes.
Hughes had been the inspiration for a famous novel of the time, “The Carpetbaggers.”
HH was played by Leo DiCaprio in ‘The Aviator.’
I’m sure you think you sound like you have integrity, but it sounds like privilege to me.
Women have actually died because they couldn’t get abortions.
I could point out a lot of other things that happened because of Trump, but let’s just deal with this one issue.
And you totally misread the idea of the old school Communists standing firm.
Another thing they talked about was Ho Chi Minh working with the American OSS in WW2. Ho would have known all about America’s history of racism and genocide, but that didn’t matter because there was a bigger threat to his people.
And please name the ‘Third Party’ you’re planning on voting for. There’s proof that the GOP has helped both the Libertarians and the Greens get on the ballot to help split the Dem vote.
Back in the day I had the privilege of knowing some old school Communists. People who had gone to Spain to fight Fascism and been blacklisted at home.
One of the stories they told was about how in 1968 they were warning young voters to get to the polls to stop Nixon. It wasn’t that they were in love with Hubert Humphrey, but they knew he was a million times better than Nixon.
The situation is the same today. If you aren’t voting for Harris and every other Dem you’re ignoring reality.
Give me ten minutes and I can ‘prove’ that any one was or wasn’t a Socialist depending on my mood.

Scary book. The tl, dr is that, in 1970, the author predicted a lot of what has come to pass.
They also called him out for putting his feet on the Presidential desk and holding onto his coffee cup while saluting a Marine.
Trump Derangement Syndrome. It started with ‘Bush Derangement Syndrome’ back around 2005. Left leaning folks who pointed out what a terrible President George W. was were accused of being insane. Then came Obama Derangement Syndrome, where folks on the Right really were going insane. Here’s the Tan Suit Scandal as an example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controversy
At least one high ranking GOP official called out the President’s attire.
It’s gaslighting at it’s best. If the Left calls out the Right on actual problems, the Right accuses the Left of insanity.
It’s funny that I’m getting down voted and you’re getting upvoted. We’re saying pretty much exactly the same thing.
Having unauthorized sex. Look at that GOP woman who was having three ways to ‘save her marriage.’ It was fine for her to have relations with another woman as long as the owner approved.
They literally want to investigate every miscarriage as a potential murder
Hear, hear! Term limits just mean that the wealthy have to spend a few minutes every two years looking for fresh faces. Also, term limits mean that the crooks in office have to hustle harder to make their fortune before getting kicked out.
6th Grade Biology taught us that an ‘ectopic pregnancy’ is, by definition, unviable. By their own Book, God creates ectopic pregnancies so They can have the pleasure of destroying an innocent soul.
He touted his friendship with Epstein and talked about sex yachts to the Boy Scouts.
Sanders is almost 90. You cant count on him to survive his term, much less create a new Party.
No 3rd party has won the Presidency in modern times.
If you want to see change, look at what’s actually worked in the past.
Back in the day, a guy named Jerry Falwell made himself a power in the GOP by a simple trick.
Both Parties, Dems and GOP have local clubs that make the small scale choices that keep things moving. They pick the county clerks and sheriffs. If the local GOP club had had twenty people at the meeting that chose the country clerk, Falwell’s folks would show up with fifty.
After a while, those county clerks were becoming Congresspeople.
