Vichy Democrats will not see heaven

Okay, Trump is a dumbass who doesn't have good reasons for doing this (or anything), but there's nothing inherently wrong with nuclear power. Relative to other energy sources (including renewables!), it's actually significantly safer per unit of energy production, even with the well-known disasters.

Republicans Go 24 Hours Without Using A Slur On National TV Challenge: Impossible (And by the way, Democrats, when you refer to a 13 year old trans kid wanting to play soccer with her friends as a "biological man" or scaremonger about bathrooms, you're doing exactly what Tim is. So knock it off.)

No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor.

I think as a society people just don't want to face what it means about us that Trump is a rapist and even though that was public information he was still elected President

Meta strongly appears to be an enemy of democracy in the US. Proceed accordingly. If you're a politician, activist, or organization on the left, you HAVE to build your presence off of Meta and X - which basically means here and Mastodon. Bring your audience over as much as possible. It's critical.

no making nice

impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

I would be willing to entertain a good strategic argument against impeachments but nobody has articulated one that can withstand the slightest bit of critical scrutiny.

Fun fact: it takes fewer votes to impeach and remove the president than to override a veto.

"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

It’s vastly underated that one of the main reasons the far right hate Zelenskyy so much is he stayed & fought for what he believes in while they go from posting like this to fleeing the country within 48 hours

regardless of whether you think the polls are right, the polls are wrong in favor of republicans, the polls are wrong in favor of democrats, or you just want all of us to shut up about polls, I hope we can all agree on one thing show up and vote to put these dipshits in an electoral dumpster

i hope if nothing else, the media ignoring this finally stops people from saying "the reason the media doesn't run drumbeat scandal coverage on trump the way they did on Clinton is because Dems don't make a big deal of it like Republicans do"

We live in superlatively stupid times, but the idea that a gambling market is supposed to be predictive of anything is among the lowest lows we've sunk to. These markets skew right because they are right wing and the bettors want right wing outcomes. People always bet on the Patriots in Boston too.

"There are many who will claim that the reason the community is *divided* is not because of Nazis, but because some people make Nazism a hardline purity test, which makes it hard to build a coalition...with Nazis, I guess. So shame dies by atrophy." www.the-reframe.com/the-death-of...

One cool thing about being a regular Dem donor is how the party tries to demoralize me before every election. I am again drowning in spam texts clearly aimed at ripping off the elderly. Several Senate candidates have worked hard, overcoming my many "stop" replies and blocks, to make me hate them.

“give them addictive personalities” “are there any treatments?” “amphetamines!”

This is indeed what ought to happen to both of them.

Much of What Democrats Must Do boils down to valuing the good faith opinions of millions of Americans who vote for them more than bad faith opinions in media. They’ll call truth and justice “weaponization.” They’ll say voters don’t want accountability. They’re wrong, and Dems don’t have to listen.

Like realizing your parents aren't infallible, political adulthood begins when you realize the "great minds" elites rely on are all dumb fucking propagandists that capitalism lifts through the system because they're shameless in their wrongness and are willing to serve as dull priests of whatever.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

House that I walk by every day is starting a new food debate. They have a flag on their porch that says "burrito is not a taco"

not gonna share it but that new House Judiciary Dem report is like. how do we not read that and grind everything to a halt. Feels like that would have used to do it; now it's just more background noise, which is depraved

One thing I think it's important to realize is that the right has and has long had a built-in advantage when it comes to platform manipulation and SEO because these are fields that advantage unethical people and unethical people have sorted themselves into the GOP very efficiently.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Increasingly clear that these tech elites have become entirely detached from their own humanity.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social I was watching the games earlier and was curious: why don't punters coffin corner anymore?
