Harris-Walz / Dems

[Rhinox]

Yeah, look at the 3 dems. One is an independent who caucuses with them (which should stop NOW), one is Fetterman who clearly turned into a republican stooge after his brain damaging stroke.

Seriously, Fetterman needs to be a one term wonder. Get him to assisted living where he needs to be. He can watch Fox and yell at the clouds all day in a safe environment where he can't harm anyone's future.

 

[Pale Rider]

I remember being excited about Fetterman. Makes me feel icky now.

 

[Ironbite4]

We all were because he seemed to be bringing a lot of fight to the Senate. And then he had a stroke and that was that.

Ironbite-it's amazing how we can all point at that as the point of his decline.

 

[Pale Rider]

It's like the Senate Dems all draw straws to decide which one gets to be the Manchin.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

There's a correlation to be made here about brain damage and going conservative, but I think I'm gonna pass.

 

[Rhinox]

The correlation has been made before. hug, it's been pointed out a lot, especially when Fetterman himself said that Republican talking points make more sense after his stroke.

You know, even if you disliked Kamala Harris or the entire Democratic party, you should be honest enough to admit that their predictions about a Trump presidency were pretty much 100% accurate.

A lot of people criticized them for relying on "fearmongering" during the election, but it's not fearmongering when it's true.

PSA for anyone with dark skin: the Trumpers say you need to "assimilate", but no matter how hard you try, they'll never accept you as one of their own.

You can listen to their horrid music: Kid Rock or Jason Aldean or whatever other abomination they like. You can drive their ridiculous oversized penis-compensation pickup trucks. You can wear their childish cowboy role-play costumes. You can attend every church event. You can even go full "pick me" boy, wear the stupid red hat, laugh at their ugly racist jokes, and agree with every horrible opinion they have.

But despite sacrificing every last shred of dignity, you'll never be one of them. They'll never see past the colour of your skin. You'll always be an outsider, and if ICE mistreats you, they'll clap for the "thin blue line" and say "thank you for your service" to the ICE agent who just stomped your face.

Have some self-respect. Stop bending over backward to "assimilate" with the worst people in the country. If push ever comes to shove, they won't lift a finger to help you.

FB friend:

Democrats when they had the White House and their supporters asked them to use various "nuclear options" to push through Republican obstructionism: "No, even though it's perfectly legal, because we're absolutely terrified of looking radical".

Republicans when they're caught with Nazi flags and saying in private chats that Hitler was a great guy and they should create gas chambers for dissidents: "F*ck you, get over it".

Republicans when judges rule against them and they just ignore the ruling and keep doing what they were told to stop doing: "F*ck you, get over it".

The media: "both sides have their radicals".

 

[Rhinox]

Yeah it does get real tiresome when your side plays within the rules and the other side pisses all over them.

 

[G.B.Blackrock]

To be frank, I'm less bothered by that (no surprise, I'm sure) than I am by being constantly told "both sides are the same."

Very fair. I am extremely tired of that old chestnut.

Arizona AG sues to force House Speaker Johnson to seat Democrat Adelita Grijalva

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he will administer the oath of office to Grijalva, who was elected to the House in September, as soon as Democrats vote to reopen the government.

VIRGINIA! YOU HAVE DONE IT! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Election Results

Ironbite-looking like we're going very blue in fact.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Winsome, you lose some.

 

[Ironbite4]

God the jive show that was the GOP Virginia campaign really should be studied. Trump barely acknowledged it, they fed so much money into making it a Trans issue and it all amounted to what is pretty much a god damn Blue tsunami. Every county in Virginia shifted blue. Every single one.

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

And Trump just...ignored this race. Entirely. Like he couldn't even be bothered to show interest in the state that feeds DC the most federal workers.

Ironbite-it's great!

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject hugging moral failure.

But he won anyway. Nobody cares what octogenarian party leaders have to say anymore. People want change.

 

[Ungnome]

Last night's election results give me hope. Probably STILL gonna be stuck with Andy Harris as my rep after the election next year, but still, looks like things are starting to swing in the right direction.
