It depends on how conspiracy minded folks get and how close to the election it is. But both are very possible

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

The bliss of living without the cursed knowledge of these two must be incredible

regular people do not know who either Hasan Piker or Will Stancil is, please go spend time in your communities

I just need to have a spreadsheet with all stat ranges of all mons available at all times and maybe, just maybe, I could win a few rounds

The GOP has one chance to survive a midterm collapse and that is It Happens

This is hitting the absolute bottom of the barrel for his support and man it really does not look like there's a way out for him

fetterman's trajectory has me feeling like we underrate standards tbh

Fernando Mendoza bong gas mask videos drops 30 minutes before the draft starts

Vrabel resigns to take up a reporting job at the Athletic

Patel is either out or they're gonna announce a bunch of bogus charges against folks for "stealing the 2020 elections"

Some people seem to think "trust but verify" only applies to other humans, and I think those folks might be a few screws short of an IKEA dresser

Schrodinger's Strait of Hormuz

it’s not that the broad center-left/democratic party is blameless or that the political right is never reacting to changes/provocations or the like, but that victory and defeat, success and failure are shaped by actors on both sides, as well as broad forces and the contingency of human events

if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

"how dare he build a new downtown playground when one was torn down. Frey doesn't care about people" is such a braindead argument that I'm surprised these folks know how to breathe

my whole lifetime

I spent years of my life thinking cayenne was really hot because it was described to me in childhood by someone as akin to fire and it did not occur to me that maybe a midwesterner was not a good source on what is mad spicy

you say i am "middle class" but i cannot afford even one (1) anti-tank guided missile launcher for my bicycle

All the media are his homies and everyone kisses their homies goodnight

Just a reminder we threw away the most consequential move towards strengthening the working class, mass adoption of Green energy, and American hegemony for absolutely fucking nothing and we didn't have to do that. America and the world will sadly suffer the consequences of this

The Vindication of Bidenomics Are we finally ready to acknowledge its successes?

"America at the end of the Biden years was still a hugely unequal society, but less so than it had been for a generation." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-vindic...

Biden's approach, had it continued, would have changed America for the better.

"Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?" sings Joni Mitchell at the end of Krugman's analysis.

Maybe the plan is to toss all the infected troops into a catapult and launch them into Tehran like it's 1347 again

One of my least "liberal" opinions is that some people need, at the very least, a life-altering amount of violence done to them. "Oh you should never respond to words with physical violence." Fuck off, this ain't the Areopagus.

I need the video of him getting his shit rocked
