A side by side view of two news headlines. One reads "Gerry Connolly defeats AOC to become top Democrat on Oversight Committee". The other reads "This was Gerry Connolly's final act as a member of Congress", reporting on his subsequent death.
"A young 75 year old (esophageal cancer notwithstanding)"
This is NOT what Catholics and Protestants are about. They're about *opens history book*
uh oh

uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh

I wasn't gonna say anything but I was thinking it
The bulk of the chatter had less to do with Israel than with his long history of ratfucking other Democrats to suit his political ambitions, like Joe Hoeffel. If Harris had yielded to the pressure to pick him anyway it would have shown me she's a frog letting scorpions ride on her back.

This. I'm the same type of begrudging Harris voter. She did impress me picking Walz over Shapiro, but even then.
Only reason I'm still a registered Dem is because of closed primaries, which makes my experience of democracy a corrupt one party system with a fascist threat on the side.
Something that has the popular support, message consistency & campaign value that would help Dems, but they aren't pursuing because of leadership? Hell I'll give you five:
Anti-Zionism.
Opposing AI data centers.
Medicare for all.
Abolishing ICE.
Actually voting against Trump's appointees.
Yuki Izumi Everyone, thank you for gathering here today in spite of your poor mental health.
You're thinking that the only difference here is the size of the fire extinguisher.
You're not seeing that right-wing Democrats are the equivalent of throwing oil on the flames, and you're seeing people warning you not to do that as wanting to do nothing.
ADO #animation I did it!! I'm very happy with the result ^_^
You're arguing that a fire is a more urgent priority right now than worrying about minor details like "where the fire extinguisher is" or "how to turn the water on".
We've spent decades "standing together" behind unpopular, unwinnable centrist wankery. More wankery will not put out the brushfire.
This is very odd to say out loud as a Lord of the Rings fan, but: Palantir is a terrorist organization and should be treated as such.
"But food is more urgent." Consigning the keys to a later phase, he resolves to look for food. On foot. Out of range of anything edible.
He stands no chance of making it without the car, and we stand no chance of challenging fascism if we don't challenge the ones yielding to it in our name.
I sincerely think this is misunderstanding the moment we're in.
Imagine a starving man. He needs food urgently and he's running out of strength. Thankfully he has a car and, if he can get it running, he's within range of a store. But he's misplaced his keys.
"That's an important problem," he says,
There are no savings to be gained from stripping services.
Every pound you take out of those benefits becomes a two pound strain on the economy. The UK has been pushing austerity for years and stripping its infrastructure for financial parts. That's why the budget is so tight.

Every day a different billionaire says the most horrific movie villain thing you've ever heard but this guy and a grandpa from Vermont are the scary ones because they want to tax them
The proper response is to simply not treat the cocaine-fueled fantasies of a billionaire sex pest as if they have any merit whatsoever, and simply not get caught up in a stoned freshman philosophy 101 argument with the stupidest fucking people who have ever lived.
Welfare helps people participate in society. It also moves money around the economy, keeping it healthy. They call it a “cost”.
AI cuts jobs, makes useless un-copyrightable content, raises the energy bills of anyone living near them, and makes no money. They call it an “investment”.
