Right, like, the average voter doesn’t see economic issues in academic economic terms! Voters don’t want to be scolded that they did great because wages increased if they felt squeezed by other factors that negated the wage growth!

Dems have an issue with actually listening to people, electing instead to sanctimoniously telling them what’s best for them. It’s sort of why they keep losing!

It’s actually not a winning strategy to go WAGES WERE UP when people felt pinched economically

Like I don’t know maybe listen to voters concerns instead of telling them they’re wrong about how it feels to live their life

I don’t know but that’s uh kind of why people went to trump for ecom reasons

At this point, I think if you can’t tell when an engagement bait post on social media is AI, you should have your drivers license suspended for 90 days.

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

Context:

"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

The biggest political divide on here is not between left and liberal but between "politics is real and involves real outcomes for real people" and "no it doesn't fuck you"

I want to keep my passport so I cannot put in writing what the perpetrators of this deserve to have happen to them

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

I know cis people don't realize the cruelty, so with gentleness and empathy for them, let me try to explain.

Being trans is difficult. Instinctively, you already know this because you think it would be better not to be trans.

In the 5 months since I wrote this, things have only gotten worse, with adults stripped of their healthcare at a moment's notice, universities firing teachers & banning the mere mention of trans people, & Democrats helping pass further bans and the first discrimination & segregation laws since 1996.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

My high school has two perpetrators of mass shootings and a war criminal and uh Orrin Hatch.

Pam Bondinisnt just running interference for Trump. She was attorney general of Florida from 2011 to 2019 and didn’t bring any charges against Jeffrey Epstein when she clearly should have.

She is up to her eyeballs in the coverup.

She spent the whole morning performatively screaming at Congressmen, but this image of Bondi saying nothing and refusing to turn around will be the only real takeaway from her testimony today.

The SAVE Act blocks voting by demanding passports or birth certificates that over 21 million Americans do not have ready access to. Women, seniors, students, and low income voters pay the price.

what is with these people and dogs?

I wish we had the same accountability for our political leaders that we do for our reality TV stars

Media moved on because for one hour Trump pinky-swore he was going to do his genocide in a nicer way, and every day since the people in Minnesota are showing us it looks like a war zone

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

Epstein survivors raise their hands to signal they've been ignored by Trump's DOJ as AG Pam Bondi refuses to look at them

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)

Something the Still Mad About MeToo people seem to have forgotten is that MeToo part 1 was at least partially a response to Trump’s disgusting behavior, and we are now in Trump 2, and the behavior under discussion is even worse, so guess what everybody

as you watch all of the rah-rah pageantry of the Super Bowl it’s astounding to remember that MAGA is so weird and offputting that they’ve apparently given football to the libs in the national divorce

MAGA are the kind of people who would show up to Carmen and then bitch that it was in French
