he/him too old to be on the interwebs saying things like "lol" and "grok" but here we are anyway don't feel obligated to follow me if i follow you: i'm not that interesting. NO TERFS, MAGA, VBNMW etc. Get lost, dipshits.
AIPAC dems also usually refuse to fight republicans on anything - find a dem blubbering about "bipartisanship" and they've probably taken $ from AIPAC - AIPAC's not just zionist extremism, they're also conservatives who don't want the democratic party to effectively oppose republicans.
sherrill's very moderate and very white. maybe my position on this in the short-term/present is off, but hoping the party can win those ppl over and still be worth half a fuck is fruitless - start counting on those fuckers and they become an excuse to abandon trans ppl, ignore genocide etc.
that should be "a plurality of votes cast" or "came in first"
ok, but i gotta say hopper's character does that to make the mafia guys so mad they just kill him right out as he knows he'd buckle and give up the info on his son if they tortured him.
go ahead and block me. i'm a dickhead, i know.
this is a really embarrassing account because it feels like YOU think you're having Aaron Sorkin Moments but every single post from you is just "nuh uh". being an official blue check doing this is hilarious
counterpoint: eat shit, motherfuckers.
Telling my cat “You’re so smart and so strong and brave” even though I know it’s not true because you gotta just gas ‘em up sometimes.
so MTG's district has jungle primaries and a DEMOCRAT in the race got the most votes - hope libs and resisters don't go nuts w/donations - top 3 GOP candidates won over 50% of the vote while 3 dems garnered 40% - very unlikely this translates into a general election win for dems in november.
other than "the deliberate stranger" (which is really good) it's a pretty weak night of tv ("trading places" edited for regular-ass broadcast viewing? pass!).
this was a genuinely pleasant back-and-forth to read through.
it's nuts to pretend the incredibly inadequate shit she proposed was ever gonna get past the likes of fetterman or gottheimer or glusenkamp-perez or cuellar or (ad nauseam).
were these people around just a few years ago when conservative DEMOCRATS tanked biden's very mildly center-leftish policy proposals while screaming they "didn't want him to be FDR"? eventually he caved to them to pass a very watered-down version of the bill that actually favored RED STATES!
i hate these people so fucking much. SO. FUCKING. MUCH.
...yet has practiced none of what it's preached... ever.
took 20 years after WWII's end to pass civil and voting rights - within 40 years of that, conservatives started throwing as many black people off voter rolls as they could get away with - and i could go on and on: native americans, women, gays, etc.
"this is not who we are"? actually, it kinda is.
over another in hope that candidate might win over some of the shittiest people on the planet - trump voters are obstacles to overcome, not a voter bloc any decent human being should ever consider worth chasing.
that's doubtful. whites who vote for trump and republicans are mostly worried about minority groups getting too "uppity" - the last thing these people want is an expanded safety net that might actually help those same "undeserving" types - it's a fools errand to condition support for one candidate
i don't think they really mean the "vibrant" stuff in the first place. it's just bullshit they tell themselves.
they 110% do not want to be in the position of having to actually DO anything.
it says a lot about where we are that an old guy like me who has never embraced the "kayfabe" theory of american politics is now open to the idea that dems are quite obviously terrified at the prospect of getting control of congress next year by anything other than the narrowest of margins.
Biss for the empty vessel he is, get out and endorse Kat as a chance to get someone decent into office - but nope, ain't gonna happen! because people who run for elected office in america often don't believe in anything other than their own inflated sense of entitlement.
this goes to what i often say about american politics in general and the democratic party too, which is that most good and selfless people don't run for office because they see what a cesspool politics is (are?) - if anyone in that race is actually running to make the world better, surely they'd see
it's obvious at this point that the only lesson zionists learned from the horror of the holocaust is "we have to be the ruthless bullies from now on" which is incredibly fucking depressing.
anyone who ID's as left should drop out and endorse Kat but of course, that won't happen. we see this over and over (NY primary where we ended up with Dan Goldman is an infuriating example). GRRR.
hopefully polls are wrong and she wins. Biss looks and sounds like an empty fucking worm.
"Democrats are going to rubber stamp everything you're warning us that Trump will do."
Yep.
Right now Schumer is pressuring Trump to use the Strategic Oil Reserves to reduce gas prices because he supports the assault on Iran.
the bottom line is:
any media that is talking about "repression" inside a country that we are bombing is doing pro-war propaganda. the US gov supports 75% of the world's dictators and DOES NOT FUCKING CARE about "spreading freedom", they only care about who will play ball w/ our corporate fat cats
it's kinda wild because some are periodically aware of issues (they definitely noticed during the run-up to the 2016 election where NYT harped on clinton's emails as much if not more than they talked about trump being a sex pest) but they just... shrug that stuff off as anomalous.
