I would love it if she did win and disproved it. I’m just cautious of assuming that it’s a slam dunk. And I am also very cognizant that she is a conservative boogeyman, and that she’s made a LOT of staunch enemies in the DNC establishment (I hope that last bit won’t matter as much in 28, but who knows)
I would absolutely vote for her, and as much as I want it to happen, I’m genuinely not sure that’s realistic.
While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, failing to upvote Dear Leader and enthusiastically support His Vision to your friends and family is also considered a violation.
Huh. Is HE transgender? Has he been looking at an unusually significant amount of trans porn lately? I don’t get it. It seems to be on his mind an awful lot.
Take his seat TAKE HIS SEAT TAKE HIS SEAT
For real girl, you can take him in the primary. You can do it.
I know. I want to noodle on the situation more. I genuinely think she’s one of the best politicians of our time, but I too worry about people knowing about her outside of California.
We’ve been asking him to for a while but he won’t listen and he keeps giving money to the people who should be making him leave
I like him a damn sight more than Newsom, to be blunt. I want to hear more from both him and Walz.
I liked Walz a lot. It was a shame he wasn’t the head of the ticket. I think he resonated with voters a lot more - and I don’t mean the racist ones.
I really hope Harris stays out of it.
I would absolutely vote for AOC, but I’m not sure enough of the country would.
I would absolutely vote for Katie Porter.
Fuck, if we’re throwing out randos, I’d enthusiastically vote for Jon Stewart or - seriously - Al Franken. His “takedown” was a political hit job. The twisting of the context to justify his ouster is honestly absurd once you understand it. That was a dude who was reasonably progressive, a great speaker, quite smart, and also simply refused to take any bullshit from anybody. Honestly thought he was shaping up to be one of the better politicians of our time.
That’s what I’m thinking of off the top of my head at least
It’s because they fucking own all of the infrastructure and social media services. Jesus it’s pretty fucking obvious
I am just completely, absolutely floored that apparently not a fucking soul in any of the alphabet agencies is lifting a finger to do fucking ANYTHING to even mitigate the damage that’s being done.
Or: I guess I’m just hoping they’ve contingency planned so completely thoroughly that it’s just that airtight, and they’re only going to step in when something truly existential is about to happen (e.g. absolutely idiotic nuclear exchange/invasion of ally (perhaps? Hopefully that’s a line for them?)).
It is fucking WILD that I’m pinning my hopes our intelligence agencies pulling a fucking coup.
But at the same time, the FBI is lost. If there’s any real holdouts at this point, imo, it’s gotta be in the NSA and CIA.
And that’s why eel-on-musk got his dipshit interns to install a backdoor to the Treasury Department
I mean… I hope you’re right, but I think a lot of these guys (and it is almost all guys) are legit somewhat psychotic and would consider getting to fuck up and abuse “enemies” a form of pay.
Oh yeah I’m also leaning a LOT harder into schadenfreude and gallows humor this time around.
The fact that that the stormtroopers flood through the door 30 seconds later in that scene is part of the joke I was making 🫠
Sometimes they do rather inappropriate copium pieces when shits looking particularly bleak. That doesn’t excuse it, but it does explain it.
Wheeeeeeee this is normal politics. So normal. The most normalest. Nothing to see here.
I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine here. How are you?
It’s even easier when you get your interns to install a backdoor to the treasury department
I wanna be clear: I am absolutely NOT defending DNC leadership. They are feckless in the extreme.
