"EARN MY VOTE!"

*Governing* is a politician's entire job. If you want politicians to govern the way you want, you have to *vote* for them first. Even if they don't check every box on your ideological list.

...As opposed to leftists, who apparently regard their votes as something that can be "earned" (i.e. bought) instead of a form of collective action.

you get mad at the Ds so you don't vote for the Ds then Rs get into office then the Rs do awful things then you get mad at the Ds for not stopping the awful things so you don't vote for the Ds then Rs get into office then the Rs do awful things then you get mad at the...

Thanks for announcing your commitment to fascism. I guess? Is this supposed to be impressive, Larry? From even an inch away, you look like an asshole.

Fuck off.

I don't feel sheepish at all when dealing with people who act like idiots, which is what you're doing.

Ah so you don't care about anyone else or harm reduction. You just want them to perform for you or you'll let democracy and people die.

I wonder how the murdered Venezuelan fishermen might feel about you having the choice to not elect the people who murdered them last November, and essentially throwing that choice away.

Congrats, repub

Hello, I’m a trans person. I hope you get fatal explosive diarrhea.

So let me get this straight, they released “redacted” Epstein files where you can literally copy & paste and read the redactions? Only the best and brightest allowed in this administration I see.

I think this falls into the same fundamental failure that MattY does, which is that even if this is true it isn't actionable. Too many randos to impute bad opinions from.

Way to try to justify it, weirdo

He's not that dumb, he just really wants an excuse to believe.

I’m sorry, are you genuinely stupid enough to believe “the guy who shot at a crowd of Jews said he didn’t do it because of hatred for Jews”. Like are you really that fucking dumb?

Yet another movie with the biblical David in it, once again no one shows him killing 100 men and taking their foreskins. Cowards.

LMFAO "If I put in a footnote that I think racial profiling is wrong, will you stop calling them Kavanaugh Stops... pwease." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

And another thing. Please don’t put in the law that I got mad

Kind of surprising the media’s impulse to undermine every aspect of society is outweighing their impulse to credit Mister Trump’s Law And Order Push

lol yeah that’s fuckin airtight wrap it up everybody no one’s ever been stupid and evil at the same time

Justice Alito seems to have missed that the government's account of the Marimar Martinez shooting has been completely discredited.

Jenkins is a fascinating creature. Her feed is full of vitriol against Hegseth and other MAGA figures and yet deferential to Weiss. True reactionary centrism in action. The mind that could wholeheartedly swallow Lance Armstrong racing clean.

His mind is so far gone.

He’s right and the Biden admin was 100% right at the time to say this and the countless libs and lefties who sought refuge on here and do resistance posting now who at the time pathetically tut tutted the administration over this is responsible for the climate that led to RFK Jr’s rise and Trump 2.0

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

One of my life’s missions is to find the Enforcer in Green and propose marriage.

This is shaping up to be a good old fashioned media feeding frenzy, and for once it couldn't happen to a nicer person.

He is Latino and your posting history suggests you're white

The worst people in the world are at each other’s throats www.thedailybeast.com/megyn-kelly-...

See one thing every media outlet loves is a story about another outlet fucking up. It’s like catnip.

Every time a bowl game takes place in the Dallas Cowboys practice facility, like the Frisco Bowl, I’m reminded that, bafflingly, this iconic fight happened outside that space.

the Czech Legion needs to be adapted into more settings, because "we're a third party in this civil war and we're going to fight our way to the other side of the world to get home" is awesome (and a great gaming premise)

Lebron is a bum

Your argument necessarily suggests the conclusion that he implied. To the extent he made that guy up, that guy is just more self-aware.

You're running around accusing people of voting for genocide, where did you think this discussion was going to go?

But it is true if the US people kept voting for Democrats these last 50 years, everyone would be much better off.

Republicans do bad governance without fear because voters never hold it against them for more than two cycles in a row, if even that. Democrats fear bold policies because instead of paying off electorally, that immediately blow their rare majorities

Bears repeating: the new U.S. ban on all foreign drones and components is literally the *exact opposite* of the wildly successful Ukrainian “we will try and use literally anything to win, and we’ll do it cheap” drone strategy that Hegseth and his defense boot-lickers have such huge boners for.

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

The history of US Labor Union successes is correspondingly a history of politicians in office who are not explicitly opposed to unions. Unions do not win when the politicians in power are anti-Union.

It's not the Dems' fault. The American people, primarily the white folks, liked fascism better. Or thought they did, until the face-eating leopards came.

Yes. That’s why I say “don’t stop commenting” on SCOTUS decisions and practices. It matters.

Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:

I would like to pay more money and for games to be super-fancy. I like my fancy graphics! Every time I see pixel art I die inside a little! I didn't bribe the TSMC staff for my graphics card for this!

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

That might be the root of all this

They're doing all of this? And a general strike? That's been a pipe dream for decades!

We've never known how to do a general strike in the US.
