"rotating villain" is a made up thing

Is the mf-er honestly this ignorant of Nazis fetishizing Jews, KKK fetishizing blacks, hell, Vance fetishizing his own wife while explicitly advocating the removal of immigrants like her?

At root this is the most depraved thing about right wing evangelical Christianity: asking god for forgiveness is about meaning it and proving through your actions that you mean it, not “God whispered to me that I’m all good so shut the fuck up about it already lol”

also its never "young" people i see doing the most anti social weed shit. its all fucking *our* people.

seriously, i deeply hate smelling weed constantly in public places or ON THE FUCKING HIGHWAY but this shit is so dumb

insofar as i have any dog in this fight at all, i want platner to lose this primary in part because i think collins will annihilate him in a general, and in part because i want the progressive dudebro industrial complex to take a big fat fucking L

I like the implication here that Bill Clinton is the most leftist president of the last 40 years

I heard there was a secret cord
You plug it in, and you see the lord
But you don't really care for UL, do ya?

Update: my reply team have now determined to the origin of “planter’s wife is Jewish” thing to be the neonazi website vdare, and apparently reported nowhere else. bsky.app/profile/pymu...

huh. Why?

Reminder that if you didn't vocally support Kamala Harris in the 2024 election you wanted this outcome.

is she hated? She won reelection 4 years ago in a D off-year and it wasn't that close?

Learn to live in reality, bucko

No, I've made my case. Have a good night.

and because she's racist against Latinos, she can't possibly win TX, right?

Come the fuck on dude, don't you see how ridiculous this is

The ad didn't say anything about her identity, it didn't attack her, it didn't disparage her

it just said "the GOP wants her to be the nominee"

which was true

so by this logic what Crockett said about Latino R voters "having a slave mentality" was racist, right? Because some Latinos said she was racist

I like to think I'm pretty good at not doing or saying racist things, yes

Sorry, dude, that's braindead shit. How about you use that noggin that's between your ears, yeah?

The message doesn't come off as racist, the pictures aren't unflattering or anything, it never says she's unqualified, it never even says they want her to run bc they think a black woman will be easier to beat

it just literally talks about a (to my knowledge) accurate story

Sorry, I'm happy to defer if there's any ambiguity but this is literally just "we were reporting on an apparent accurate story"

"candidate X can't win, the other side wants them to be the nominee, vote Y" is like the bog-standard primary ad

Clinton ran them against Bernie. Was that also racist

People said that there was a flyer that was racist because it made Crockett's skin darker. When you actually saw the flyer, the entire background of faces was made darker so that the text would pop better - including Talarico's! everyone had darker skin

Is that racist?

Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, which I believe to be the emotion of grief crystallized into just over 8 minutes

"We think they'll be easier to beat and therefore we're going to try to promote them" has been a campaign tactic for ever! It doesn't always work (see: the Clinton campaign trying to get Trump to win in 2016 because they thought he'd be more beatable)

Like... I'm sorry, unless you're saying that the TNR reporter is lying for some reason, the claims in question are true! The GOP *did* think she would be easier to beat and so *did* try to manipulate things (it seems like they were pretty limited, TBH) so she'd run

No, I just have the ability to assess something on its own merits

"The other party wants Candidate X to win becuase they think they'll be easier to beat, vote Candidate Y" is like a time-tested campaign ad! Especially when there's direct evidence that the claim is true

It is not remotely racist

are you disputing the facts of this article

"If she wins we lose" is harsh but it seems to be an ad that, as far as I can say, is simply reporting on what media stories have said - Rs think she'd be easier to beat and wanted her to win the primary.

This doesn't come off as racist in the slightest
