The job of the voter is to pay attention and not vote against their own interests because they think it can’t happen to them.

The only demographic that fails the take home, open book exam every election is Y’ALL.

Y’all are literally the weakest link. Have you tried working on that?

He can fuck off after being part of the reason we're in this mess. How about you write about what a mistake that was?

"Allow us to triple your health insurance premiums or we're going to ruin Thanksgiving" does not seem to be a winning political strategy, but who am I?

I'm so tired of people saying Democrats shouldn't move too far left when the GOP has moved so comfortably to fascism.

Well, considering "moving to the left" means things like ignoring a Nazi tattoo or being just as xenophobic on immigration, etc., just not really feeling that either.

This dictator-admiring, Putin-supported ally of Trump and GOP, a onetime unemployed deadbeat dad, has made himself a millionaire over the decades by selling anti-Democratic propaganda and encouraging wave after wave of young voters to disenfranchise themselves. That is why media loves him.

Just want to remind people of something I said a few months ago:

The first year was ALWAYS going to be the worst. We get our first chance to push back on this administration in a big way tomorrow. We can't take that chance for granted.

Midterms start on Wednesday. He'll be a lameduck in no time ❤️

The most unrelenting, excellent take down of Grokpedia (complimentary) you will read to date. This is so on point it should be read, shared and echoed.

It opens like this. Brava. 👏🏽

So what you’re saying is that since Bernard came on the scene in 2016 and started ratfucking democrats that NOTHING has gotten better and in most cases it has gotten worse. Also…all the wins are because of actual democrats.

Thank you for proving my point. I appreciate you.

Trump gets less than 50% of the vote and Republicans hold razor thin margins in Congress (and are afraid of losing the midterms, hence as many gerrymanders as possible) and the NYT acts like he's a world-beating juggernaut with FDR/Reagan sized mandates with Democrats on the verge of extinction.

Editors Note: "This extended version was condensed for clarity."

So now it's okay for @60minutes.bsky.social to edit an interview? Trump & the new CBS news boss just spent the last year saying the opposite.

This strikes me as an actual inflection point, but we probably won't know for a couple more weeks.

But the optics here.. woof.
