If Dems keep pushing the narrative that Clinton and Harris lost because they are women—instead of that they ran terrible campaigns on unpopular issues-- we’re going to end up with a male candidate next time, like Newsom, who’s just as terrible, but male, and is going to lose to a Republican in '28.

Do your best to not become desensitized to the parade of horrors that is the U.S.

Trump's reckless war on Iran will weaken him and the U.S. That will make him angry. Beware of what he'll do next. It won't be good.

The US *does not* want to "make the world safe for democracy." Heck, the US doesn't even want to make the US safe for democracy.

There's always exactly the right number of Fettermans (or Sinemas or Manchins) for the Democratic Party to give its blessing to what Republicans want to do. That's because most Dems want the same things Rs do.

Inaction or silence in the face of wrongdoing acts as silent consent, effectively authorizing evil to continue.

A week of war on Iran cost the U.S. over $11 billion.

The problem with Trump's war on Iran is not that there's "no strategy" behind it. It'd be just a wrong with strategy.

People who have had a lot of experiences are more interesting than people who have a lot of stuff.

Fascists never stop unless they are stopped. They'll turn on you too. No one is safe.

There are billions of coincidences every second. We only notice the few (per week? per month?) that seem significant for some reason.

Don't understand how you can witness the past 10 yrs and still believe in fixing the Dem Party by voting. Rigged primaries twice-- '16 and '20-- so the establishment candidate would be nominated for pres over much-more-popular Sanders. In '24 they didn't respect voters enough to even hold primaries!

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Trump, (prince) Andrew, Mandelson, Starmer et al must be glad of the coincidence that war with Iran started just as serious questions about their alleged personal knowledge of child rape were refusing to go away. An unforeseen side-effect means the Epstein Files have slipped back under their rock…

Guys I hate to say this but the war that doesn’t make sense that happened for no reason isn’t going perfectly

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Eagerness to go to war betrays a limited mind-- an inability to imagine unintended consequences.

People frequently characterize Dems' lack of adequate opposition to Trump's agenda as cowardice. But they're not afraid to oppose him. They don't oppose him because they fundamentally want the same things he does. They just wish he wasn't so mean and weird and dumb about it.

I wish more U.S. Americans would get it through their heads that Dems are a right-wing party. It drives me crazy when fascists complain about "radical left lunatics" when who they're talking about is Schumer, Jeffries, Booker, Biden, Harris...

Regular people want to see pedophiles exposed and punished.

157 Democratic members of the House just voted yea for a resolution that confirms they agree with the Trump administration's reasoning for starting with a war with Iran. It passes 372-53-2

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

MAGA shitheads are hoping for Armageddon-- not just hoping, actively trying to bring it about.

Noem will soon be gone as head of DHS, but Trump's pick to replace her, Markwayne Mullin, has no background in law enforcement. BTW, he's also the only US senator without a bachelor’s degree.

Eagerness to go to war is a sign of a limited mind-- those people lack the ability to imagine unintended consequences.

US military kills people-- including children-- while the Sec of War gloats and threatens-- seemingly enjoying it. Sickening.

Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.

There's always *just* the right number of Fettermans to ensure the Dems won't do the things most of them say they want to do. Funny how that works out.

Dems love war as much as Republicans. They just want the paperwork filled out correctly first.

The US military is committing war crimes in our names and with our tax dollars.

Regular people don't want war. They want healthcare and education. They want lower food and energy prices.

What Republicans offer and what Democrats offer is 1. so similar and 2. so far away from what I desire.

Don’t stay in any hotel or hotel chain that rents rooms to ICE.

When I answer the phone and hear a recording, I hang up immediately if not sooner.

Have you heard about the heroes who sabotaged an aircraft carrier by deliberately backing up its sewage system? They've done more to prevent war with Iran than any Democratic member of Congress.

Q. Given the past 25 years, why should we expect Democrats to do a goddamn thing for us? A. We shouldn't.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

The U.S. is so confident socialism doesn't work-- that it'll inevitably fail-- that they've been maintaining an embargo against Cuba for 65 years.

Q. Will antiwar Democrats criticize Trump for threatening to bomb Iran, a country with which we're not at war? A. Anti what now?

It's not part of cops' job to punish people. Too many people, including an alarming percentage of cops, don't seem to understand this.

Zero dignity opposition party. You can be there yelling or you can be absent but there is no honor in this nonsense civility show. I swear they'd attend their own executions politely

It's difficult to know very much about history and still think of the U.S. as the "good guys."

Those who most adamantly love USA: 1. Can’t stand a significant chunk of its population. 2. Don’t understand and/or disagree w system of gov’t. 3. Don’t know or care about a lot of our history. Unclear exactly what they love so much. It’s just the flag and the national anthem, isn’t it?

Look, you sound like a nice person, and I know you're just doing your job. But I don't have time or energy to answer dozens of phone calls a day trying to sell something. So forgive me if I seem rude, but I'm going to get off the phone with you as quickly as possible.

State of the union: the gov’t is terrorizing and brutalizing people—sometimes killing them, violating their constitutional rights, and building concentration camps.

"Democrats have nicer gestapo" isn't the slam dunk a lot of liberals seem to think it is.

When someone advocates for "civility in politics" here's what they mean: the ultra-rich get to do whatever they want and anyone who complains too loudly gets jail or worse.

"Abolish ICE" is the moderate position. Anything short of that is a right-wing position.

Militarized policing is incompatible with a free society. Abolishing ICE is just the start.

Remember, when they talk about "violent protestors," that to fascists, "violence" is failure to keep quiet while they inflict violence upon you and your community.
