Her approval ratings when she was leaving SoS were something like 66% approval. She was the most respected woman worldwide, according to Gallup, for over a decade.

What are you basing this on?

I think I will go to my grave wishing that some network would have a show with HRC and MVP sitting in comfy chairs with a bottle of wine between them, simply discussing the day’s political and cultural events.🍸

Fetterman had red flags. Platner has red flags plus wailing sirens going off. WTH is going on?

Is this when we mention that MVP had a more progressive voting record than Bernie, or no?🀣

On a completely unrelated *to anything* note, I had a flashback to this movie and thought I was making it up in my head. Nope. If it has to be in my head, I must insist it is now in yours. Enjoy!🀣🍸🍸 youtu.be/io53QMwHZ48?...

No matter what he says, it won’t change the BS narrative from certain factions. They will say he is all talk while they proudly point to their favorites who are doing the *much* different action of…talking. Just doing so while liked by the factions.🀣

I think I would as well, but back in my 20s volunteering as a clinic escort, when even my local priest was dropping me off to do so at Planned Parenthood (lol), I am just not sure.

I have exactly one on my record. The Dems in IL were running an anti-choice candidate, among other things, for Governor, and the GOP dude soon after he won put a moratorium on the death penalty. I mean, I think he ended up going to jail soon after, but I felt righteous still.🀣

I have been watching this narrative unfold amidst some of the most bizarre defenses of a grown-ass man being excused for truly revolting ties to Nazi symbolism and a series of connections to bigotry and white nationalism. It is absolutely bananas. Even more red flags than Fetterman had.

Ok, based on that, I am stepping away. Easy mute. If doing your basic civic duty and saving actual lives in our communities is not enough reason to vote, then we are for sure not on the same page. Good luck to you, but I don’t have the time or patience for false promises and hostage like asks.🍸

I am going based off of the initial post about chasing β€œcentrists” who, in that framing, are apparently the wrong crowd. I don’t think there is a right or wrong crowd. I am with an all hands on deck to save any guardrails possible plan.

With everything going on, knowing we currently have a two party system, our kids, neighbors and community members are being targeted and killed, and what the GOP is doing, the idea that people need a reason to get out and vote is as bananas as anything that could possibly be said here. Just bizarre.

It didn’t work for my grandma when she used industrial stuff for a Valentine, but we have *never* had so many hospital staff members from doctors, nurses, PAs, food service workers, etc. stop into the room to see the injury, try not to giggle at us, & verify exactly who the buffoons were.🀣🀣

I realized there are a whole lot of stores now gone that I used to run to either at lunch or right after work to buy something if I wanted to go straight out at night after work.🀣🀣

I understand that, but this narrative of chasing the wrong crowd while ignoring the pretty major issues that exist in what some consider a better crowd is denying some pretty big elephants in the room, which feels fruitless to me. Like doubling down on furniture choices when the house is on fire.🍸

I accidentally ended up on Twitter earlier, thinking I was still on here. The level of glee at the suffering of others, the justification of racism & bigotry, and the tweets from people who were on the opposite side of invading Iran, even just in the past few months was absolutely terrifying to me.

FDR sliced universal care off his SS bill to please the AMA despite a huge Dem majority. Also internment camps & ignoring Black voters. Performative complicity includes left factions who are sliding scale single issue voters playing games with votes. If weβ€˜re going to move forward, honesty for all.🍸

I used to love Trader Joe’s so much, but they are pretty much the only local grocery for us that never offered a delivery or curbside pick-up option, instacart or otherwise, during COVID. My loyalties shifted, lol. Frustrating.

Good God. Try reading again what I actually said, rather than just knee-jerk reacting. Schumer is not up in midterms and Jeffries is safe. Mute whatever the hell you want. But, find a mirror and point to it after you reread your own posts.

Is it that hard to understand that you can build up your candidates without tearing down the party? Support who you want, but we are up against an existential threat, so playing the burn down the house theme during primaries, knowing the dangers for the midterm generals, is simply a terrible plan.
