Just Another Snowflake

Yeah, I get that talking, especially on a phone, is rude, but I can't imagine the guy posting is silent in his eating and drinking. But the sound is so loud in movies that I can't imagine hearing others eat.
I was well behaved and did not sing through Hamilton.

Most of what we want to do is actually stabilize the pillars. Remove education from the whims of politics. Strengthen faith in the actual tenets of the religions. Remind law enforcement and the military that they are here to protect the people.
So we are not weakening the pillars, really.

The “pillars” graphic showing that the authoritarian regime is propped up by the following pillars: Business, labor, faith, education, civil service, and military/police.

We’re organizing to transform the societal pillars that uphold Trump’s power into unyielding opponents of his regime: indivisible.org/campaign/courage-collectives?source=bluesky

Thanks, I have the books but need to remember to get them in the mail next week.

No thanks. When I found the new owner had piled all the political books on the floor, I realized that bookshop.com was my friend.

And I'm just saying that your description of an idiot is very likely not the same as their description.

I do appreciate you bailing Kathleen out with some actually thoughtful ideas. I don't even know where to start to implement the idea, but it makes sense, so I should try.
However, I know right now that candidates are not going to travel throughout the state. Our district is already too big.

Do you realize I am talking about districts in Texas that have historically voted Republican? They will be lucky to have candidates that you consider shitty.
I get to vote against a guy who was a perfect Trumper before Trump was a Trumper. I will vote for whoever wins the primary.

It works best in purple states and it turns out that all states are purple. Overcome voter suppression and we should win.

I'll be sending Field Team 6 postcards. Anything I can do to help that doesn't involve going to Texas ever again.

As she points out, the margins are smaller in more districts than they were before. So if all the Democrats realize they could win, they will win. There is no reason why Texas should be able to deliver the Republicans they have promised....
unless Democrats stay home.

You are talking about the presidential election when you talk of abolishing the electoral college, and you will get no disagreement from me.
However, that doesn't happen until 2028, so I am much more interested in how we elect Representatives.

Yes, I will vote and I will do everything I can between now and next January to make sure my vote actually matters.

I'd love to see the math on that. Would the red states outstrip the blue or are we really a purple nation? I have no idea and need to see the math to understand how that might change the political makeup.
I can attest that statewide electeds do not have to listen to me at all.

Okay, I skipped a step. If you think districts should be abolished how the fuck to we elect representatives?
Districts are not there to support the electoral college, though they are certainly used in that stupid and archaic system, but that is not their main function.

Either you are accidentally responding to the wrong person, or you don't realize what I am responding to.
If we eliminate districts, we say only the President matters. While the current officeholder believes that, I hope no one else does.

Funny, I didn't see any defense of Jeffries, just the statement that we seem to use our ammunition differently when it's a white guy.
However, I am happy to take down Sanders and Schumer and the rest on this list too. But as the OP says, "everyone" takes AIPAC $. Maybe they shouldn't.

Doesn't this imply that only the President matters? I find that thought frightening.
Districts are for electing representatives.

While implies that we will return to the app if they change their policy. If we don't plan to do that, our boycott has no teeth. It does nothing to incentivize changes in policy or behavior.

Well one of two of them might be real, but yeah, disssing Mamdani when he isn't even in office yet seems inauthentic at least.
But I do like that it brought out a bunch of people telling the bots a little reality.

Thanks. I came to the comments to see if the sane lefties were down here and fortunately for my blood pressure, they are.
I'm no Bernie supported, but man there is some dumb shit being spread.

More the description of the horse just before they are "upshot".
The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune was his lot.

Ah my favorite song about animal abuse. And yes, if you haven't heard all the verses you probably can only guess what I am talking about.

(below an image of a car that’s covered in “I VOTED TODAY” stickers) NEED A RIDE TO THE POLLS IN TN-07? Indivisible Tennessee can help! Email TN7Support@indivisibletn.org with your address, phone number, and preferred pickup time and they'll match you with a driver. POLLS ARE OPEN UNTIL 7PM! EVERY VOTE MATTERS!

Probably in Vietnam.

Tennessee polls close at 7 PM CT. If you’re in line when polls close, stay in line. Your vote will count. LFG!

You need to change your profile. You have utterly failed at being optimistic.
If you think anything short of violence in the streets is nothing, then nothing is being done. But those of us who have studied history are watching the shit that actually works.

I take issue with many things those "great minds" believed. Mainly that they were the great minds and those who did not succeed had somehow earned their failures.

It has been well covered in these comments so I will just say thank heavens that we now allow the voter for people to stupid to learn. Well that is certainly what Hamilton thought of women and it was the general reasoning behind keeping Blacks and indigenous from voting.
