you know you've got a certified banger on your hands when the premier crashes apple tv entirely #pluribus

right or wrong it's smart for him to be outwardly vocal about acts of antisemitism even when it's just vandalism moving forward. there's still uneasy jewish dems who voted cuomo last night that are going to be needed to turn out and vote 1 year from now and we can't have them feeling ostracized.

you're the best carl don't ever change.

virginia is on its way to helping out the dems with their redistricting as well. texas gerrymander might not be as effective as they think either since they're going off data from 2024 where hispanics went very right - data shows hispanics are gonna launch back left and then some due to ICE.

GOAT shit

Leftists/progressives spend all their time on that, and those people are the loudest people online which trick people into believing that’s the democratic base. Republicans have been smart for weaponizing that against Dems. Leftists have been happy to keep obliging and providing ammunition.

these states are very low in population as well, which makes flipping them blue quickly much more feasible. the only way it could be stopped would be at the point of creation by the state/local governments stopping you from obtaining the proper permits to build.

best bang for your buck would be building a mega college campus + tech headquarters between montana, wyoming and south dakota. build an airport. bring a sports team or two there. if you develop things correctly you could in theory own 6 federal senators within 1 single tri-state greater metro area

Hah, I blocked him too after checking out his profile and realizing I had no interest in his response. Just your typical "hurr durr you supported a genocider blah blah blah" leftist drivel.

most US voters are completely turned off by any politician who makes it their #1 priority to talk about israel/gaza. it's simply a losing strategy unless you think the college kid and terminally online populations are gonna 10x within the next year.

sorry bud.

I’m sure someone is gonna name some other great artist but to me, personally, I’ve never witnessed greater voice range in a male singer than what Chester was able to pull off. Truly one of a kind. I’m 35 and I imagine Linkin Park to me is what Nirvana was like to my slightly older elders.

Couldn’t give less of a fuck about someone who doesn’t live in this country trying to explain how there’s no differences between our two political parties to appeal to her tankie friends online. You’re objectively wrong.

enjoy the continued war on random fishing vessels i guess then. you really showed us libs whos boss lmao

i like dems chances of getting into a 50/50 senate split as well - i just don't know where 51 comes from sadly unless we get a surprise and win in ohio AND texas. or iowa shellshocks everyone.

tbh having a nazi tattoo is probably gonna siphon off some of the republican support from collins. but this seems a little rich coming from progressives who could only "vote with their conscience" less than a year ago. i guess winning at any cost against republicans only matters when it's theirs.

well leftists have now found a new champion i guess. thanks trump /s

so do i. and im gonna sound like a boomer but people do not understand how good we have it (soon to be HAD) in this country for all it's warts and problems. they just don't grasp how awful it could all be if this human experiment of real democracy and western ideals dies and we become russia 2.0

everything is vibes and internet parasocial stuff until the pain personally touches you or someone you love. red states need the pain but also blue states will as well (where there's a lot of privileged leftists who have no idea how bad it is getting in other places)

if seeing masked police officers dragging minorities out of their homes/places of work into unmarked vans without any kind of due process or trial and shipping them to random prisons in other countries doesn't do it, i just don't know what will.

this shutdown is dems last chance tbh. we need pain

i don't know how to fix it either. at this point my only hope is that we allow republicans to destroy the country for the next 1-3 years and bring us to the brink of collapse while managing to somehow keep elections free and fair? we need a national "i touched the stove" moment to happen i think?

i wish i could just point and say, "it's russian/chinese bots!" but it's not, as i live in PDX right next to the college campus and saw the genocide joe and killer kamala chants for months meanwhile trump's openly detailing his project 2025 plan for all to see.

i'm afraid it's already too late too

honestly i'd settle for doing nothing but it's the active hate discourse that seems to be exclusively reserved for democratic candidates leading up to elections that gets me going. voting on your end isn't enough if you contribute to lowering turnout amongst other unreliable/uneducated voters.

i think all of that is a fair statement to make.

leftists are still lining up to play spoiler again. they're certain jill stein is finally gonna win.

wish i could follow along to this thread but im blocked now, lol.

100% - there are plenty of areas to disagree with the mainstream democrat party with. but my god, the sheer difference between the democratic and republican parties right now... i'm sorry if 12 trans kids can't play on their preferred sports teams at the moment, ICE is disappearing people right now.

They’re just very terminally online and it’s made them mentally ill. That they can sit here and play this false equivalence shit between Democrats and Republicans with a straight face is all that really needs to be said. They’re championing the slaughter of marginalized groups they say they care abt

Lmao ahh yes, it’s the dem establishments fault for the dude being a secret nazi for the last 18 years lol.
