you will never believe the nightmare blunt rotation this woman collated for her Very Serious Discussion

you should contact the billing department and have them charge you a few extra times

lmao this ratio

oh yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you there. I don't think an expedited primary would have changed anything

I do, however, think that there would have been a possibility for victory if Biden hadn't tried to cling to the office and had allowed Dems to run a primary. Might also not have worked

ask me how excited I'd be to get out the vote for Ilhan Omar, Zohran, Sanders (in 2016/20), etc etc etc

It's certainly common in AL. We got Doug Jones into office during a special election against an awful Republican with a lack of institutional support (from Republicans) but otherwise it's almost a 60-40 state with a rudderless state party*

*or more accurately, a state party that runs like a potluck

also in 2024 there's the argument to be made 'what primary'

the funny part about that is it's close to the truth. 90k per person per year for families with any number of kids is close to correct for 'not immediately, desperately paycheck-to-paycheck' smartasset.com/data-studies...

And Booker’s prescription in Michigan is more of what caused the problem."

The data says the opposite. A meaningful share of these voters stayed home because Harris spent her campaign seeking out Liz Cheney instead of talking to them. These were voters who watched the Democratic nominee chase Republican endorsements and concluded the party wasn’t going to fight for them[2/

No one can say it better. A lengthy standout quote:

"Now look again at what Booker said in Michigan. He characterized the skippers as people who agreed with Harris on 90 of 100 issues but sat out because they couldn’t stomach the 10. Righteous purists. Hostage-takers of the party." 1/2

here is the thing about vote scolding: it doesn't work

my personal position is that the right thing to do is to vote and - because the republican party is so completely world-destroyingly insane - to vote for the democrats

but you simply cannot change minds on this by scolding people

i mean this sounds almost like scare-quote "communism" when processed through the current american idiom

how many otherwise probably normal people just on this little website alone are here to: tell you that expecting things from politicians is being a petulant child; ask how you propose we pay for your ponies and unicorns you want (e.g., health care); blame you for the unchecked cruelty of our elites

that's up there with curry being the national food of Britain

good lord

it's funny how the SPLC was giving millions to literal neo-nazis but absolutely nothing to the antifascists who exposed dozens of neo-nazis

unfortunately two of them are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries

Don't forget that the Democrats consolidated the momentum of the 2025 Special Election sweep by conceding the Government Shutdown directly tied to their success for a handshake agreement that never materialized.

30% approval ratings aren't as harmful when the other party keeps trying to find 29%.

meticulously labelling every bad thing the United States has ever done 'un-American' then bolting the gates of my Mind Palace with a gentle smile, secure in the knowledge that I live in the Good Country

love to post about my totally normal, ideologically consistent beliefs

@bencollins.bsky.social come collect your friend

tfw you start a 3 week long news cycle accusing the muslim candidate of antisemitism that results in him taking the lead in the polls, so you want to rebrand as the “fun” candidate

until today, I thought my memories of the marriot carpet would be pleasant

Just take 3 mins and 15 seconds to listen to this lady speak.

WHY👏🏾DONT👏🏾WE👏🏾ALL👏🏾KNOW👏🏾ABOUT👏🏾HER??!!!

This genuinely makes me so upset.
She been gone 8 years and I hear her name on a random

InfoWars Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing…

Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.
— We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs.
— Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

It’s interesting how socialists should always be managing their politics and criticism in reference to what Democratic leaders find acceptable because they might be deemed ungettable voters when 1/3+ of the country already consistently opt out of standard bourgeois electoral politics (voting D or R)

the 10% is a vast understimation

I think it's a catastrophically bad message. Leading with it is a guarantee of increasing detractors
