There what is? The fact that I don't like genocide? I've been pretty open about that. Why is Chuck Schumer saying his number one priority is Israel when we're all screaming about ICE?

You know how people love Zohran because he actually talks about real issues?

Yeah, being a BlueMaga dem is pretty sad when you could have actual progress if you guys would support things people actually care about instead of enriching corporations and protecting Israel

What vote are you talking about? I voted for the bluest folks I could, and it doesn't matter how I voted for President. There's nothing to be ashamed of. We've got a bunch of democratic socialists on the Portland City council now which is pretty awesome.

And if you don't care about corruption, that might explain why your beloved Dems keep losing.

I live in Oregon, so you're really barking up the wrong tree if you think my vote in the presidential election mattered at all. My representative and senators are some of the most progressive in Congress. You need to talk to all the folks in other states, because we're doing our job in OR.

I'm not asking for your help, I'm asking YOU to stop voting for genocide and transphobia and to vote for people who stand for something. Do you like the fact that Dems make just as much off legal insider trading in Congress as the Republicans do? Corruption is not cool.

OK, why do you think I *vote* for someone who doesn't think my family members deserve rights?

You folks just love to blame the voters, but WHY DON'T DEMS SUPPORT HUMAN RIGHTS????

Somebody last week told me that I was either a communist or a bot when I criticized the dems. I'm not sure what they were even trying to say.

I have trans family members, you moron. Why would I want to support someone like Newsom who doesn't support trans kids?

What are you talking about? The Republicans are obviously worse than the Dems, but that doesn't mean the Dems are anywhere close to being good. They're still a corporatist center right party who have made tons of money off legal corruption (insider trading in Congress).

Newsom supports anti trans legislation and platforms people like Charlie Kirk. Kamala couldn't bear to speak against Israeli genocide. Biden opposed desegration and busing back in the day. Even Obamacare was originally a Republican plan.

Why should I like any of these people?

When *haven't* they? Most of the positions the Dems take were Republican positions a generation ago.

We don't have any republicans here, so yes, I will loudly say the Dems suck. They do. They love to suck up to the cops and big business and don't care about helping anybody. They're also super corrupt. What's to like?

I have no desire to live in a deep-red state - why do you think I'm in Oregon?

People will always vote for the real republican instead of the fake Dem version. Run actual progressives instead of triangulating like it's 1992.

I live in Portland, Oregon so it doesn't really matter who I vote for in the presidential election. I'm going to vote for the further-left primary challenger in my district because my current rep takes AIPAC money and is only now barely saying Abolish ICE.

Dems supported genocide. They should stop.

So why should those of us who aren't well represented by Democrats be forced to vote for Dems?

If you pick candidates that lose in the general, that's your fault for picking garbage neoliberal genocide supporters, instead of candidates that people feel good about supporting.

I had what I think was a Wenger Viking as a kid, then got a leatherman which was great till it broke, now I've got the Victorinox Huntsman. Gotta say the Huntsman does almost everything that doesn't need a pliers or a weirdo screwdriver.

Except for things like super delegates and the fact that the Dems have argued in court that they're allowed to rig their own primaries

CBS is really helping me feel good about my decision to cancel Paramount+ and avoid paying them any money in the future.

Sounds like the classic Twilight Zone episode The Monsters are Due on Maple Street.

I get the hidden image for straight up porn, but the folks flexing in their undies aren't nude.

Precisely. There are 95K polling places nationwide, and only 20K ice agents. The math doesn't make sense, especially as everyone hates ICE already. More of us than there are of them, by a factor of 1000.

I'm mostly looking to avoid pics of dudes in their undies. Not really my thang.

That moment when you realize that the two week oncall shift you just finished is capped off with a three day weekend!

I might actually be able to run cables for my home network this weekend!

They're being investigated by their own department for perjuring themselves, that seems more than just "may have".
