I'm sorry, but if your post-mortem of the 2024 election is "voters are stupid," and you still lost, then that just makes your party look Even More Ineffectual. If voters are so stupid, how come you can't reach and convince them? Shouldn't convincing a gullible electorate be EASIER, if anything?

The Uncommitted Movement was a movement organized by Democrats, targeting the 2024 Dem primary. Its leaders, like Alawieh, publicly stated he would vote for Harris to "block Trump," distinguishing between endorsing a candidate and voting strategically to prevent harm. I'm tired of this narrative.

"Nobody in the 80s had autism." My brother in Christ, Rain Man came out in 1988. Do you think they invented autism for the movie?

"they certainly would have been weaponized against Trump already" Once again, the Biden of the conservative imagination is vastly better than the one in real life.

Kash Patel Vows To Arrest Brown University Shooter as Soon as FBI Finishes Engraving, Planting Shell Casings

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

The Supreme Court needs to be fundamentally changed, if not abolished altogether. Lifetime appointments of ultimate decision-makers with no check on their power to remake society as they see fit is unworkable

this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.

The no ceiling part is why we don’t have a floor. Why are Dems like this?

it's happening

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

it's weird to live in a world where a new 'worst thing you've ever imagined' happens at least a few times a month and it's easy to let it all run together and just sort of wash over you and go totally numb to all of it so you don't freak out because you still have to do laundry and go to work.

This is the stupidest I think it has ever felt to just be going to work every day

I cannot emphasize enough how many people are dead today who wouldn't be if any of these fucking journalists had done actual fucking journalism instead of serving the ruling class Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Proposing a new Military for All policy where everyone in the US gets a free standard issue infantry kit, a tank and one (1) nuke

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

despite recent leanings to the left, america must take the moderate centrist positions that win elections: extensive bike lanes, constitutionally codified trans rights, universal free child care, and public hangings of all those who would stop us.

jews arrived in america radicalized by their experience of antisemitic persecution. inspired by the ideals of socialism and the labor movement, we built ourselves up from nothing, and fought for our equality. then affluence, the rosenbergs, and zionism proceeded to wring the radicalism out of us.

Every time Democrats lose the media assures us it’s because of trans people and then the Republican run on hating trans people and get their asses handed to them

The 2024 election was not a binding referendum on American culture that everyone must accept and accommodate. Never was.

if you live in seattle today please go out and vote for katie wilson !!!!!

I am hearing that on his deathbed Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

Oh no, who will endorse Gavin Newsom in 2028 now?!

The way American politics is viewed through a gendered lens as a contest between a mom who lets her kids stay up late and eat cookies (Dems) and a father who comes home and yells at them to stop the nonsense and go to bed (Reps) is probably a really big problem for our national discourse

“It isn’t the government’s job to keep its citizens fed. It’s the government’s job to give your town’s local dumbest police officer a bazooka.”

Being Muslim is not antisemitic. Being Palestinian is not antisemitic. Supporting Palestine is not antisemitic. Jews who support Mamdani are not self hating. Jews who support Palestine are not self hating. I've had more than enough of this bullshit.

To be crystal clear, every single person on this letter is stoking Islamophobia. I would not send a dollar to any institution associated with any of them, let alone look to them for ethical or spiritual guidance bsky.app/profile/lior...

There's something the Democratic party should learn here but they won't. They'll continue to hire consultants to that tell them to work on converting moderates and conservatives instead of going out and talking to their potential voter base.

This is literally exactly what Stacey Abrams did in Georgia to flip the state It never sat right with me that the states with the highest proportion of black citizens were all considered "red states" This can work in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, S Carolina if only we had the organization.

The DNC needs to stop worrying about winning conservatives, and start worrying about enfranchising black southerns, and getting them registered and getting them to the polls.

who are you running against the popular incumbent who will be hard to beat under any circumstances? oh, a guy who we are like 85% sure isn’t a Nazi. he starts talking about the marine corps if you ask him a straight yes or no question about it.

im more than willing to believe in redemption and growth for virtually everyone, and in the grand karmic scale of life im not convinced a nazi type tattoo is a major offense. but i tell you what: i am sick of defiant pols damning all legitimate critiques and driving us all forward into the void

I still think Elon paying for gamer clout is the truest condemnation of billionaires: it's so insignificant compared to the damage their lifestyles do every day, but these deeply pathetic men are clearly desperate to throw money at every opportunity to appear capable and cool, no matter how trivial.

So we're supposed to blue-no-matter-who the Blackwater mercenary with the Nazi tattoo, but the Dem who won his primary on the promise of five inexpensive grocery stores is a step too far?

I can already tell that there’s going to be a “Graham Platner didn’t get a fair shake” contingent, when the reality is that nothing that’s happened in the last week would have been fatal to his candidacy if he’d actually overcome his past to become a thoughtful, decent person.

In light of the news about Graham Platner's tattoo, I'm convinced there's something wrong with American culture that it keeps producing Nazis. Rooting out white supremacy needs to be a major project going forward

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Every state with a Democratic legislature and Democratic governor could do this right now — they wouldn’t even need to do a ballot initiative. They could do it RIGHT NOW — so please pass it on and spread the word 👇

I think its an active need for communists/socialists to show up. With yes their own signs, slogans, and chants. And their own next steps. No Kings brings out an important part of the masses who need to be brought into struggle with the parts of the masses not there. Communists should be the bridge.

things bullets say

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

*Lil Jon Voice* States' Rights to What

This isn’t just “Charlie Brown had hoes” levels of wrong it’s “Charlie Brown never had a dog” levels of wrong

"training" is the consistent liberal canard. nope people, this is THEIR JOB. they are doing what they are hired to do.

they already look soft on crime. "Democrats look soft on crime" was already the conventional wisdom WHILE CLINTON WAS SIGNING THE FUCKING CRIME BILL. "Dems soft on crime" is REPUBLICAN MESSAGING UNCONNECTED TO THEIR ACTIONS. Washington Generals shit right here
