Most of them haven’t! Backlash is widespread against established parties who have done little to meaningfully improve their constituents lives because that would run afoul of rich, entrenched interests. People are mad at enshittification of *everything* and are voting out parties they hold...

The Democrats running a white man so out of touch he broke COVID protocols for a party at a fancy restaurant 99% of people couldn’t afford to eat at *would* be the most Democrat thing ever…

Saw this in the wild. “The Feels” strike again. Trump won’t be inaugurated for another couple months. All he has done is name a bunch of wildly unqualified people to fill positions they may not even pass the Senate to serve in. BUt iT FeELS LikE…

You seem to be falling back into the “Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025” trap you fell into earlier. Once he was elected, a whole bunch of Project 2025 people that worked on Project 2025 :surprise: got jobs in his administration to carry out Project 2025. Apparently (according to you)...

The really infuriating thing is, we actually have a whole host of actual problems we should be dealing with and this “problem” affects almost no one. Even High School sports, there’s like one student in the entire state(s) and no one should be monitoring bathroom use regardless. If anyone is...

The key difference is those weren’t lies. Don’t get me wrong, they’re objectively 100% false but as far as the majority of the electorate was concerned they never heard or processed they were untrue because their media sphere didn’t present it that way. Almost 100 million people do not consume...

Super weird and tonally inconsistent when you run against Trump four years ago and then he tries to topple your Administration before you’re even sworn in; then you run against him AGAIN and constantly drum beat that he’s an active danger to Democracy and then give him these nice cheery press...

That is actually disturbingly plausible.

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop referring to ******* mid center politicians like Sanders, Warren, and AOC as “far-left”? They want a living wage and affordable Healthcare. Stuff almost every other country on the planet makes great strides towards providing. They don’t want to seize the means...

Liberal position is that all life has dignity and they’re against killing 35,000 Palestinians through indiscriminate attacks the same way they’re against attacking music festivals, taking hostages, and killing 1,200 Israeli’s. If you’re physically attacking people or waving a Hamas flag you’re...

Why does *that* destabilize faith in the electoral process but shutting down voting areas so people have to wait 6+ hours to vote then you make it illegal to give them water while they wait doesn’t? Republicans cheat to win in ways that Democrats don’t. That’s objective fact. Leaving aside...

No. Trump running for a third term would mean that SCOTUS would need to invalidate the plain text of the 22nd Amendment (like they did the 14th!) but it will be some long baseless explanation that will only apply to Trump. More likely I think is Trump is running as Vance’s VP and then just...

Still here!

Words are essentially meaningless when it comes to politics. Be they offering comfort or harm. Trump will doubtlessly tank the economy. Provided we still get elections, Vance will lose because the economy is worse. It won’t matter how many people he bullies or races he denigrates. Just like it...

A lack of decorum did just lead to massive Republican Congressional losses and Trump getting defeated in a landslide. Oh wait, the exact opposite of that happened. So yes, by all means, follow your own advice.

57% of Florida voters wanted abortion protected in the state constitution (so MORE than a majority) but that ran afoul of the new amendment that made the threshold 60%. Which, ironically, did not pass with 60% but got grandfathered in to hug things up in the future. Like now.

Mine either, but we have to realize and acknowledge that’s a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PRIVILEGE on our part. We aren’t going to bleed to death with a rotting fetus inside us. Our marriage isn’t wholly up to the whims of the Supreme Court. We aren’t going to lose access to gender-affirming hormones. We...

Yep. His purview was looking into see if Trump colluded with Russia. He found that they did indeed collude. The job of punishing Trump for that was Congress’, not his.

Giving Putin whatever he wants apparently. Kinda like how Chamberlin ended WWII in 1938 by appeasing Hitler. Until, you know, he kept wanting more and more and it became untenable. I do wonder how Republicans are going to operate with a Trifecta. That means “Government” is entirely on their...

A nationwide abortion ban wouldn’t survive a filibuster. Provided they listen to Mitch and keep said Filibuster but Trump can have the FDA pull their approval of misoprostol. That coupled with the fact Doctors are too afraid to act in red states is going to kill a lot of people. Ukraine is 100%...
