In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.
Yeah start insinuating he has morning chai rather than coffee, say that he knocks things for 6 rather than hits a home run, allege that he is generally a clean living good boy who loves his mother and prays every Friday (pejorative).
Look. All you single issue voters saying 'Don't vote for the Democrat because they aren't perfect on X." You're getting at a minimum muted and maybe blocked. Beat the shit out of Democrats after the election, knock yourself out, but shut the fuck up between now and then. Now ain't the time.
At some point after the election there'll be a lot of pieces puzzling out how the Republicans got away with being so generously funded by a notorious white nationalist and it wasn't treated as a big, problematic issue. From the same reporters currently not treating it as a big, problematic issue.
We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It's 'buck naked'
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
-It’s ‘toe the line'
the biggest reason republicans are eating shit in every single debate is that their president is terrible and his policies are terrible and there’s no way to defend any of it that comes across in a credible manner
and it couldn’t be happening to a more deserving group of candidates
So apparently a diesel export ban is broadly accepted as a terrible idea that won't work and make the situation worse in the medium and long term.
But it MIGHT help a little in immediate short term. That's why Trump will do it, because everything else is somebody else's problem.
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
i wish there had been some way to know a republican president would start an unwinnable war in the middle east that did nothing more than pad the bank accounts of him and his cronies
Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
Elon Musk’s influence is waning as more people realize he’s nothing but a fraud and con man, an insecure, racist baby-man who knows how to manipulate dullard investors and incels, but who offers humanity no benefit from his existence.
