Consistent voting is what gives far right citizens their power. They make themselves heard in primaries and then always support Republicans in the general, even if they don't want to. Non-voting most harms the person who stays home. The only "message" it sends is that you're naive.
What gives the NRA its power is its members, self-selected all, vote. Consistancy, habitually, on this issue religously, they vote.

In actual Ukraine? Just some of kids of the elites giving the ultimate sacrifice!
Hey everyone, gather around! Elon Musk, the trillionaire defense contractor currently spending >$400m on political campaigns to prop up the party of a deeply unpopular president who launched the Iran War has some thoughts about Ukraine, elites, and money in politics.

The Republicans siding with the Kremlin is a Trump signature, something no GOPer would have believed possible even 15 years ago. Populism is poison.
Both parties have made legislative mistakes they have harmed the country…no question…but, only one party has sided with this country’s number one geopolitical enemy…or more accurately coward in fear and capitulated to their leader who is a bona fide Russian asset.

2002? Maybe 1902 :) But yes, as conservative, I want schools controlled by the towns and cities they’re in, not by some centralized, federal entity far away. Every time you think about centralizing power, just remember what Donald Trump would do with that.
2002 called Tom. It wants its talking points back.

This is the problem with populism: you cannot build a republic on a foundation of conspiracies. Corruption and special interests are real challenges, but reducing politics to “us” against “them” infantilizes the electorate and sows the seeds of authoritarian rule.
There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

It's really simple: Clinton wins, Trump goes to prison in NY. Harris wins, Trump goes to prison in NY pending his federal trials. But because Trump won, the judges were forced to dismiss his charges and he now has immunity for life. He will NEVER go to jail. And he has the left to thank.

Trump is a poor persons idea or what a rich person is And Platner is a DC highly educated bloggers idea of what a working class white person is
Two major polls this week found Graham Platner trailing Susan Collins by significant margins among working class voters. So I asked a top Platner adviser, Rebecca Katz, to respond to this and discuss the way forward. The conversation got pretty interesting: newrepublic.com/article/2126...

The DSA/Tankie statement seeking "peace" in Ukraine by allowing Russia to destroy Ukraine. This is not progressive and neither is anything the Democratic Party should remotely tolerate.
