I dare not think of how many vulnerable people will die or have their lives irreversibly changed for the worse.

I’d take it a step further: If you supported Uncommitted, you helped Trump. Even if you voted for Kamala in the end. Because you weakened the Democratic message and hurt turnout.

If you're mad at "Democrats" because 8 Democratic Senators wanted millions of children fed and for millions of other workers not to be evicted without paychecks than you are at Republicans WHO ARE THE ONES CAUSING ALL THIS PAIN, then you have some real issues with your ability to prioritize.

Costco is tempting me with all these beautiful coffee table books. "The Look" by Michelle Obama is one of them.

Performative dissonance. - Often 3rd party voters, but only in Presidential elections. They view this as a morally superior position allowing them to complain about both parties equally. This reveals they do not understand how congress is designed to work & they don't really want to fix the problem.

Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis"

Who the fuck needed to be convinced to not vote for Donald fucking Trump? You didn't know who he was? You didn't see what he did the 1st time? You didn't bother to even consider a single thing he said or did? You need to have your asses personally kissed so you don't vote for fascism? Fuck off.

Correct. To take no action is an action in itself. You either helped Harris or your helped Trump. There is no absolution from responsibility to be had.

Tapper should be put on a rocket with Musk, Thiel, and the like and shot to Mars.

“White women will not vote to deny their sons the power and privileges of their fathers. It is effectively a biological imperative.” (obligatory #NotAllWhiteWomen)

And it IS selfish, and hypocritical. They want to lecture everyone about "morality," and yet they deliberately undermined the opposition to the most immoral administration in history. AND THEY KNEW IT, and did it anyway.

some days you just have to laugh at how unbelievably stupid everything is

The FIFA World Cup draw was playing on the TVs at the dentist office. Village People performed "Y.M.C.A." toward the end. God, how I cringed.

A step forward for mankind when it seems all we've been doing is regressing. I hope the launch goes as smoothly as the one for the Webb telescope a few years ago.

As long as Americans see their vote as a REWARD and not a CHOICE OF AN AGENDA, things will continue to not improve in this country. Withholding your vote never punishes a Candidate. It punishes you. All y'all who wanted to "punish" Kamala over Gaza, how's that working out for you now?

Democracy is not a self executing proposition. - Hakeem Jeffries

Seems kind of unfair to label Democrats as weak when the other party represents all the entrenched power of white supremacy, the police, industry, farmers the military, Wall st, SCOTUS, the ultra wealthy and the Democrats essentially play them to a tie electorally and pass far more legislation.

The right-wing Supreme Court majority has once again shredded its credibility by rubber-stamping a racially gerrymandered map in Texas. Republicans know the extremists can only win by cheating. The people of California and beyond will prevent that from happening.

I waded into the replies under a post about Jeffries (not from him) and my blood pressure skyrocketed. I feel so overwhelmed...how do we fight this? How do we make a dent in the irrational hate towards him, Schumer, and other top leaders?

An absolutely appalling decision by the right-wing Supreme Court majority to approve the racially gerrymandered Texas map.    Trump & his MAGA Rubber Stamps are trying to rig the game and silence voters. Now SCOTUS has signed off on this blatant power grab. Utterly Disgraceful.

People are who decide all electoral outcomes. Why would I blame parties or politicians for the choices that people make? Project 2025 is the long overdue post-mortem for the people that actually determine electoral outcomes. That politicians and parties have endured them until now is an obscenity.

underlying problem with a lot of pop culture and society generally is that people stopped believing that duty is a real thing

Holy shit - that's breathtakingly beautiful. And the googly eyes are the cherry on top.

And THAT is the thing with DSA, JD, Bernholios & all the other fauxgressives---they simply cannot get it through their thick heads that OTHER PEOPLE EXIST. And other OPINIONS. And that democracy means NO ONE gets EVERYTHING THEY WANTED. They won't compromise because everyone else is just WRONG. 🙄

As Kagan observes, the Purcell "principle" (which has become such a joke the Court won't cite it by name) is "it is always too close to the next election to intervene in a way that would advantage Democrats and it is never too close to the election to intervene in a way that would help Republicans"

And anyone yelling about expanding the court now when they could have just voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 is an immediate unfollow.

special shout-out to the Bernie bro who told me in 2016 that the Supreme Court wasn't all that important, and Hillary's picks would be just as bad as Trump's

The idea that if Garland had rushed the case and had less evidence, would’ve convinced those Supreme Court justices to vote differently, is one of the dumbest ideas in history.

Too many people willing to vote away other people’s rights for their moral high ground. Just a big coincidence, I’m sure, that many of them aren’t hurt by those choices.

Anyone who claims the head of state should have personally pushed to have someone prosecuted should be ignored forever. They're the same as Trumpists, just with a different political objective.

Democracy is a group project & a lot of you motherfuckers let everybody else do the work & then complain about the fucking grade.

Right. War is ultimately a tool, not an end goal. It should absolutely be a tool that is used as sparingly as possible but elevating a refusal to ever use it into a high principle simply means you’re allowing other people to use it far more

The pro-Pali crowd thought they could not only grossly disrespect BUT ALSO ASSAULT members of the Black community for not joining hands and singing kumbaya after they kept making tenuous connections between their astroturf "movement" and the struggle for civil rights. It's pure entitlement at play

A Republican can be standing outside of the smoldering remains of my home with a burnt match and a gas can and some of these people will find a way to complain about how Hillary let it happen instead.

This is so, so bad.

the other day the Gaza Health ministry (Hamas) claimed that in just over 2 years of war 70,000 Palestinians had died. This was covered by every media outfit a few months ago the New Yorker revealed that in less than a year Trump has killed 600K people in the 3rd world no one followed up.

Sometimes a life never lived is better. And that's true far more often than most anyone wants to admit. If you think your God wants this, you're an absolute psychopath to worship such a sadistic deity and do His bidding. This isn't what your God or any God worthy of worship would want.

It's not just an "offensive tattoo." It's the same tattoo the SS who guarded the concentration & death camps wore on their hats & lapels, you Nazi-loving POS. It's absolutely ridiculous how you leftists shit on Harris for being endorsed by Cheney while you fawn over a Nazi who voted for Collins. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Lackadaisical centrism? Centrists get shit done. Progressives just whine that nobody loves them.

The question is will the registered Democrat electorate show up to cast a no-brainer vote against literal fascism, or will they choose instead to die by purity tests, because performance optics are more important than democracy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly, this is a big problem with a lot of progressive activism. "I'm pointing out the injustice of the system, and the system is supposed to pat me on the head and tell me I'm very good for doing this."

Well deserved! Joe Biden to receive top honor at LGBTQ+ leadership conference for his contributions to equality www.advocate.com/politics/bid...

Heeeyyy, it's almost time for me to head to work, where I'm sure I'll be treated perfectly fairly and totally won't be singled out for punishment for doing shit everyone else does on a daily basis! /s (No, seriously - that happened yesterday. Thankfully, my sainted manager smoothed things out.)

Over the past few months, I have had the privilege of traveling across our country to share the story behind 107 Days. Here are a few of my reflections from the road:

Victoria Mboko had one of the most exciting tennis seasons in Canadian history — a WTA 1000 title and a surge into the top 20.    Victoria, your story is an inspiration, and the best chapters are yet to be written.

"Democrats need to give me something to vote for." The only conclusion to draw from that statement is that you are fine with all of this *because* you needed some sort of incentive to vote *FOR* Democrats. You didn't vote your conscience.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. That makes 214. We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Politics rn is just people refusing to listen to shitlibs, suffering the consequences, and then blaming the shitlibs for it. As a shitlib, it’s exhausting…

The electorate is supposed to vote consistently - it is the FOUNDATION OF DEMOCRACY. It must VOTE the Democratic organization into a majority necessary to get things done. The expectations that someone hold your hand & spoon feed you are tired! Gthohwtbs!
