*Milquetoast neocon-friendly centrist wins Democratic primary, to the disappointment of progressives*

Dem establishment: "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!"

*Progressive with inspiring ideas wins Democratic primary, to the disappointment of reach-across-the-aisle Overton Window chasers*

Dem establishment:

Just one more thing.

What the fuck is the point of being the richest nation in the history of this planet if half the population can't afford food or healtcare or housing?

Does Mike Johnson just stay in a sarcophagus all day and only come out of it to tell the press that he's completely unaware of every major policy debate and current event?

I don't want to hear people say they don't vote because "my vote isn't important" or "my vote doesn't matter."

If your vote truly didn't matter, Republicans wouldn't be trying so hard to prevent you from voting.

"Your taxes should pay for infrastructure and services that benefit you instead of paying for endless corporate subsidies that always end up going to CEO pay and stock buybacks never the job creation fantasy spun by delusional moonfaced trickle down morons"

HE'S A SOCIALIST GET HIM!🤬

Literal insanity: "Tesla has been trying to find ways to keep Musk as chief executive as it grapples with falling sales – global vehicle deliveries fell 13% in the first half of the year."

Musk is driving customers away and causing protests at dealerships. Quick, give him $1 trillion to stay!

Any other copywriters annoyed that people think any use of emdashes—consistent with the AP Style Guide—MUST be copied from ChatGPT because AI overuses it.

AI uses emdashes because it's regurgitating content from human writers who've been using emdashes forever. AI is copying ME, not the reverse.

U.S. citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents about children gathering at bus stop, lawyers say Lawyers for Carlos Jimenez said he was in fear after an agent threatened him with chemical spray, then pointed a gun at him.

ICE is the worst of the worst.

MAGA is such a gross cult. These people are awful.

Forcing someone to convert religious beliefs is fundamentally un-American.

Didn't AWS just have a massive outage causing huge disruptions to their customers' businesses?

Wall Street is just a bunch of gambling addicts. The stock market is just a bunch of adderall snorting bros in suits betting other people's retirement savings on hype and vibes.

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

Why Centrist Democrats Keep Being Wrong About Elections A new 60-page report insists the party is too radical. But the problem isn’t the party platform. The problem is the broader environment.

Elections are determined by four broad factors:

Your message
The messenger
The media environment
The moment

The only thing political campaigns have complete control over is the message. So there is a bad habit among the pundit class of treating messaging as though it's the only thing that matters.

Wtf are we paying taxes for if the government shuts down every time Republicans control Congress?

It's like saying the flu is over. These idiots shouldn't be in charge of a Walgreens much less the entire public health infrastructure.

The common thread here is they're weak small-minded simpletons.

These people have never been offered weed because no one wants to smoke with them because they have big feelings and no chill.

So to compensate, they convince themselves they're some alpha male master race, their ego requires it.

They aren't just mad that Obama became president, although that did trigger them for eternity.

They're mad about the Civil Rights Act.

They're mad about the Civil War.

Look at everything they do and you should be able to guess where this is going.

But isn't the point of testing nukes to see if they work? And don't we already know all ours work?

Two things can be true

WHICH IS WHY WE USUALLY DON'T HOLD A FUCKING PRESS CONFERENCE PROCLAIMING CAUSITIVE ASSOCIATIONS UNLESS AND UNTIL THE EVIDENCE IS CONCLUSIVE YOU COLOSSAL FUCKING DUNCE

The Shutdown is Killing DC’s Food Trucks Plus: Lunch at the White House? Leave with a bag of MAGA goodies

ICE is the worst of the worst.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

New rule: If you're a grown man with a helmet, body armor, submachine gun, a sidearm and other tactical gear, with a dozen other fully armed dudes, and an unarmed 110lb girl can "impede" you... You stand impeded. May you forever be ashamed of how she impeded you when you had every advantage.
