i think peter thiel should have his fortune stripped on the way to prison and everyone who worked at gawker in 2014-16 should get $100 million

There's something there and a competent opposition party would press this.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

The most charitable reading of Kaine’s rationale for caving only makes sense if you assume that he and other Senate Dems can never move Senate Republicans, and can only be moved by them and Trump. If that’s true, though, it follows that Kaine can’t hack it and must be replaced with somebody who can.

So they can do some weird shit like give you back a percentage of what you spent on health insurance when you do your taxes? 🙄

Tim Kaine says Republicans weren't going to cave

Mr Master Negotiator over here

no matter how much you pander to the Fox News viewers you will shed your base and gain 0 Republicans

The delulu is not trululu

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

I think we have a very mainstream cultural philosophy in the United States that we are just here, on this Earth, to work, and everything else is incidental.

Dems will fold, just like now, just like the spring.

Old politicians are destroying our democracy.

theres two viable reasons Warner didnt also vote yes: he actually believes in holding the GOPs feet to the fire (unlikely) or he knows it’s going to be unpopular and needed Kaine to take the heat for him.

Primary every Dem Senator, make them fight for it

you can’t guarantee anything here in regards to people’s health care, what good is this?

It was great to see a campaign that said “I love this city and its people”

Literally putting how mad you are in the newspaper

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

I hope all the NYC billionaires have their moving plans in place and everything. I'm looking forward to taking over their lavish apartments come Wednesday.

I loathe the implication that Mamdani is in it to blow up the system and doesn’t care who gets hurt. standard reactionary nonsense. “I love this city and its people” is his whole thing. Cuomo doesn’t even live there and he will abandon it if he loses.

snip of item from Washington Post editorial: Zohran Mamdani's grand promises are a struggle bus New York's working people who depend on transit have the most to lose if the socialist gets his way

headline from WaPo editorial: Zohran Mamdani treads on dangerous ground by putting equity ahead of educational opportunity, the Editorial Board writes

WaPo editorial page: It is not our job to endorse a candidate in a national election

Also WaPo editorial page: It is our job to complain repeatedly about a mayoral candidate in an entirely different city

Do these people even live in New York

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

“i can’t believe these fascists they are hitting members of the clergy” dawg i am begging you to read one book

I wonder how come people hear Trump say “I want the worst for my enemy” and they are like “fuck yea” or pretend they didn’t hear it.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

older guy on the N train started screaming about the mayoral race and i was like here we go but then it turns out he was just telling everyone about all the bad shit cuomo did. greatest city in the world baby!

laughing off the question is the correct option
