DOGE is responsible for almost a million deaths so far, with the total projected to end up over two Holocausts at least. The wall is the compromise position.

I see two schools of thought among Dems.

1. We need a new deal. Make things fair. Everyone prospers.
2. Put them motherfuckers against the wall.

I think they are compatible.

My ideal is 3 or 4 days in office with a pressure valve to get stuff done around the house (or go to appointments, etc.) 1 or 2 days. Not having a separation between work space and life space is bad, esp in a studio/1br!

How are they going whole hog into religious regressivism but then lamenting how some cultures are regressive and backwards?

Man, idk. Clearly what we were trying before didn’t work but I’m kinda skeptical about “Dems suck” Dem messaging in both its leftist and centrist forms for the same reason “Drink Pepsi, it tastes like piss but maybe one day it won’t if you buy enough of it?” would not be a convincing Pepsi ad.

whale head. raccoon penis. it's glaringly obvious that rfk jr is assembling some sort of Super Animal... and i fear he may soon acquire flamingo legs

Trying to imagine if a Dem did this… it would be an administration ending scandal and they’d be shrieking about Christians being oppressed

I know the law is that you can't blame Republicans for the catastrophes they invite or incite as president. So it will just be a wild coincidence when we have a completely unprecedented supply shock each time he was president. Could have happened to anyone.

And very much a product of Christianity as well tbh

Very torn, because as a city person who doesn't drive I find "suburbanites/rurals voted Trump to lower gas prices, get BIT" extremely delish. But it will make city life even more appealing, and therefore more in demand. and more expensive. Ppl who demonize the subway aren't allowed to move here!!

this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional

Pope Leo is no angel.

No eternal damnation in the OT, but go off with the antisemitism.

what the fuck is even going on

I'm always curious about how many of these people still have both kidneys. You're killing someone by not donating!

Trump is going to brag that, unlike Pope Leo, he has a hot wife

Magyar now polling third in the Iowa caucus.

IIRC there are also at least two scenes where he specifically starts a killing spree by targeting women (not always white women either!), and he says with words that he wants to target women and children as a way of punishing white men. This feels like a pretty clear textual choice!

a woman in a white dress is on an escalator with a man in a suit ALT: a woman in a white dress is on an escalator with a man in a suit

Escalator incident you say

over half of americans and one in seven republicans should have voted for democrats

Woke just means "aware of problems that aren't immediately obvious," right? You *can* have too much of that instinct, but that ends up at "conspiracy theorist" and awareness of problems that *don't actually exist* - a problem primarily on the right!

I have primarily seen intersectionality used as a way to downplay the concept of womanhood as oppressed class - like "woman" isn't a marginalized identity in itself, but it can make real oppressions harder

We just need to lock in electoral safety nets with massive gerrymandering and better RCV/other voting systems that protect the chances of Democrats both in safe and swing areas. Because as soon as Democrats get in, the media and populace turn on a *dime* for any reason.

Every election post tonight is like "Wow the Democrats won the mayoralty in Racismville. Trump didn't just win Racismville but all of Klan-Guntruck County by 42."

As a Jew it's really hard to see being Jewish as something that can be overcome, especially now. But I hope it can! I happen to love Pritzker (and Ossoff! but I think that his situation is more idiosyncratic than indicative of broader appeal)

And the problem is, the lib/left Christians see CN the way Boromir sees the One Ring so they'll never join Jews/atheists/etc. in trying to eliminate it. They just want to use it for their "nice guy Jesus" program (that conveniently gatekeeps progress behind a Christianity requirement)

New Yorker cartoon of a man in an airplane saying "These smug pilots have lost touch with regular passengers like us. Who thinks I should fly the plane?" Everyone raises their hands.

Platner supporters have a lot of this energy. It's left of center Trumpism. He has no relevant experience. If you want someone younger who DOES have the credentials @andrealaflamme.bsky.social is right there.

99 problems. Not great, not terrible.
