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"
a weird set of people who only exist online are people who celebrate the defeat of global fascism in every other country and are then horrified and appalled at the idea that they should also be expected to vote for their domestic opponent of global fascism if some of their stances are Problematic
See? There is no secret “defeat fascism once and for all” belief system.
You just do the work, every election. Far left, center left, it doesn’t matter.
Learn the lesson: Stop pretending you’re special and just fucking vote for Democrats.
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.
look, if "people should have voted for hillary" is a controversial proposition among progressives in the year of our lord 2026 that is a huge problem
& claiming your faction *cannot even hear that* without flying into a rage is a far more damning statement that anything i've ever said about them
Here's who I want to see interviewed: 3-time Democrat voters who knew the danger of Trump and tried to warn the rest of the country and are now heartbroken but un-fucking-daunted and will vote again.
one thing that would better position Democrats to win these tough races would be if co-founders of lavishly-funded "Democratic think tanks" cared more about winning than getting their name in the newspaper and so declined the opportunity to shit on Democratic candidates 3 weeks before election day
Ludicrous framing here from @nytimes.com. No serious Dems ever thought these would be slam dunks. And it's premature to let a centrist group get in a self-interested shot like this before we even know if these candidates will actually fare worse in the elections than other ones. Indefensible.
$2000. That's how much your household has already spent this year on Trump's Middle East War. Congressional Republicans won’t lift a finger. It’s time to vote them out.
every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.
The league better do what it can to make the charges stick because I'm reaching the point that they fear most - not me being angry, but me not caring anymore
Accepting for the sake of argument the premise that Democrats are too ineffectual to do anything: what does that say about you? Your plan is to bitch about the Democrats

i love this because its just taco bell without budgetary or genre constraints.
and while an authentic taco is good - after 2 or 3 i'm like "that was tasty;" i could eat cheesy gordita crunches until i burst.
imagining the flavor ecstasy they could get out of sushi or a steak makes me tear up.
The money pit restaurant I would open as a billionaire would be the opposite of farm to table. What are the most unnatural flavors possible? Hiring top food scientists, giving a blank check and telling them to really explore the dark corners of the flavor latent space. I want to taste eternity.
Republicans have controlled Utah since 1985. If they were going to improve lives of constituents they’d have done it by now.
Vote blue for positive change.
Leftist: DON’T VOTE FOR DEMS I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM (pees self in anger)
Same leftist 10 minutes later: please donate to my gofundme I need to get out of Texas and move someplace like Washington, it’s much better for trans people there for reasons I will block you for saying out loud
For that matter I also do not know how we “stop punishing rural America” when rural America has not been punished for a single Christ-damned thing it’s done since 1964 and that’s exactly the problem
A very common and sort of funny combination of beliefs on here is that reactionary corporations exercise iron control over the media and also that this is irrelevant to Democrats attempting to put out progressive messaging
Plus you have to square it with the reality that:
1) Biden did threaten to cut off military assistance to Israel,
2) Bibi interpreted it as Biden *actually* cutting off aid
AND NOTHING FUCKING CHANGED IN HOW ISRAEL PROSECUTED THE WAR
We elected Joe Biden and had the first episode of wage compression and falling inequality in my entire life and everyone from conservatives to the Left proceeded to pitch an absolute shit-fit that normies could materially improve their lives without buying into cult doctrines.
No, the only thing we're "done with" is giving a shit what underemployed Bush-era teenage Republicans say as they approach 40 and cast about for a personality
I know they heard it before I walked in, but when I sat down with my sizzling fajita platter and the interviewer had that universal “dang, why didn’t I order that?” face I knew I had the job.

Going back in time to confirm whether Genghis Khan "knew what a woman was" only for the Khan to stare me dead in the face and say "There are at least three. Don't play games with me, kid."
I think a legal ban on top surgery for minors would be bad and dumb but “if we don’t get express affirmative rhetorical support for gender transition surgery for minors from candidates in red states just before an election we might as well let the fascists win” is an insane position to hold
People are not sharing the lesbian bar masking story because we think that’s what all lesbians or people with pronouns are like
We’re sharing it because we all know these kind of bullies, they’ve terrorized us personally, and we’re tired of it in a time when real oppression is happening
