bass boosted soup

Ah shit I'm probably getting memed on like a boss. fuck!!!!!

First they came for Dearborn and I did not speak out- because that was awesomesauce ownage 🤣🤣 for not voting

Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on:
“We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“

Guys, a bunch of you are opposed to Elon Musk saying weird stuff, but did you know that every time he does so I get a bump in sales for A City on Mars? And much of that increased revenue supports the local Taco Bell. Think about it.

Hi, folks. Things remain really rough so I'm reposting this, as I could use some help. Anything helps, even a boost. Thank you so, so much! I can't tell you how much I hope I can stop sharing this.

Fwiw I think your heart is in the right place and respect your stances. I also won't begrudge anyone who drew the line at genocide and could not live with their objective morals to support the lesser evil. I think we understand each other atp

Yeah, I would tend to agree. Can you recognize though how hard that is to keep believing when Dems continue to cede ground on important issues and only treat what trump does as serious in press releases and fundraising emails? It's an insufficient opposition at best, complicit at worst

We're an extremely bigoted country, no doubt she suffered at the polls for daring to be a woman and POC. But would none of it have happened? I'm not so sure. For a country being steeped in fascism, even today the Dems seem insufficiently aggressive and more likely to focus on kitchen table issues

And true, we do infight constantly. It's not an easy nut to crack, and we're getting nowhere. Not that it helps and is kinda just huffing our own farts, but that's the nature of the beast of trying to improve things. Being a trad, racist shithead is easy. Consensus on progress and improvement isn't

I don't need perfect- obv I would prefer better green policy, universal healthcare, ranked choice voting. I'm not blaming her for everything men have done in the past, they all have their own skeletons. I'm holding her accountable for very publicly saying she would do the same

and I absolutely empathize with everyone that was faced with this shit AGAIN and it would have been so easy for anyone in the Biden admin to enforce a ceasefire in Gaza. Popular even! But they didn't. At a certain point, if you can't say "this is the line in the sand", you'll vote for any monster

And y'know, that's correct. Like so many past elections, I swallowed bitter pill on election day. I voted for her, and grapple with my conscience every day for it. Bc "status quo evil" has been spending billions of dollars to bomb brown people for a while (1/2)

The most salient point on the record is she could have helped Gaza (or pushed Biden to, potato potahto when he was sundowning that hard) in the months leading up to the election, when it would also have been politically advantageous to her, and didn't. So idk!

The only difference is you think that's us for not voting how you want, whereas we think it's the lesser evil party that has their hands on a few levers of power that might actually do something but don't want to upset AIPAC. Get real you dumpster fire

But it cuts both ways. If cons are ultimately to blame, shut the fuck up about leftists and be mad at Trump. Or, maybe acknowledge that there's room him AND the people who supposedly would act against him constantly, willingly failing to do so.

Ok, then let's get this out there: Trump is responsible for doing all of the horrible things he is doing, and we are furious about it. It's monstrous. ICE, tariffs, our absolutely shredded international reputation, those are all on him

Lmao they blocked me (after a pithy reply about how it was justified bc of Oct7) and on bsky, that shows as blocked for anyone seeing the qp. Regardless, not a weirdo worth your time or attention

Had the same thought. We looked into this and the underlying system sucks shit! This isn't something that will bear out some shocking advantages under scrutiny

Me when I'm opening up an earnest dialogue and not rage-baiting

You can see it now with Schumer walking back restrictions on ICE unprompted. They have no incentive to do better as long as they aren't the worst. And they have a nice volunteer group of asskissers to hound anyone who would ask they rise to the occasion for once

Dems don't change! They were in power and decided not to! And when the only leverage citizens have is exercised-"we won't vote for you if you keep being monsters"- they still didn't do it, bc they thought they could get away with it and win. That's how lesser evils work numbnuts

Former sleep tech here: yes, it will detect when it is on and most are capable of detecting when it is worn through the variations in pressure inhaling v exhaling

If the circumstances included "she could never campaign well enough to earn more votes" she was never going to win anyway. Yes?

sending $18bil of weapons with which to genocide is supporting it, even if you say "a ceasefire would be cool"

Sure it's a broken system. But we can fix it by unconditionally voting for a party that is incentivized to never fix it

It's sad I am blocked. Nonetheless must warn the masses in case he posts before the midterms

Some are calling him THE existential threat to democracy

I would not call losing all swing states by a lot vs losing them by a little "paying off". I think it paid off in that you can be mald at anyone left of Hillary which is the most important thing

You keep throwing around the phrase "hijack the party" which is a funny way to say "support a candidate that represents our interests". Kinda giving away the game when you conflate wanting representation with fucking up the party line
