I hope a progressive like Bernie runs. Truly. Someone authentic and smart. Whats not to like. 2016 was a mistake. We should had Bernie. I will admit, I wasn't for him and now feel plenty stupid.

That is fair and I believe is the right approach. I haven't made any decisions about the general in 2028 or the primary. Way too far away. Just pointing out that the purity tests is what got us here.

Sure. My question still stand though. In all likelihood it will be a binary choice in 2028. What if it is President Newsom vs President Vance, and sitting out translates to President Vance?

Obama was publicly against gay marriage except he obviously wasn't. Dont know about Newsom on trans issues. What if the choice is between Newsom and say Vance (or worse). A protest vote is effectively a vote for the opponent. No?

His in-laws are having a real wtf moment 🤣

Also, I am a huge wait wait dont tell me fan. So kinda in disbelief you actually replied. Thank you!

What if the state police is acting to protect the citizens and the Federal agent is the one breaking the law? Aren't the state police obligated to intervene?

Trump seems to redefine what he can and cannot do. Yet dems are playing by the old rules. What happens if Pritzker plays the same game? Order and let the courts stop him after the fact?

First, she represents everyone in her district. Not just trans people who live there. Second, I don't know what outcome y'all are seeking with the purity tests. Third, why isn't the purity test applied to the other people who voted yes?

I dont think they have caught the murderer yet. So it is presumptuous to assume motivations. I agree that he shouldn't have been murdered, obviously.

Also, clearly your last absolute statement can't possibly be true. Plenty of abhorrent counter examples in history.

What value are you adding to the discourse or the people being hurt with this comment?

Be funny if the bros/ Tucker lost their testosterone supply and have to once again resort to sunning the perinneum 🤣

Does this include HRT for women on peri and menopause? Also, men who need it for medical reasons? Or did they scope it to their war on trans people?

It is hard to do so. All you have to do is to checkout the front page of fox news for a week. It is all about the scary brown men coming for your daughter's stories. And they've got the reach. These stories do not reach the right.

I am not skeptical of your claim. In fact as a dad of a teen boy, I'd be pleased if your statement is correct. Do you know if the graph above looked similar for a cohort from say twenty years ago. That is, has there been a shift in the differences between the genders?

US citizens are being kidnapped amd exiled. Not deported. No such thing. You have to call it what it is.

Or the market had already accounted for the earnings call during the drops before the call, and is just adjusting to have potentially overshot the downgrade?

There is a word for people who terrorize a subgroup to meet their demands met. I am certain there is a word for it. Just dont know what it is.

There are quite a few. And this might sound not a big deal anymore. But green new deal was highly influential. And it got integrated into the biggest climate investment the Federal Government made.

Do we have a list of Dem Senators who are leaning towards a yes? Both of mine are a no so I don't need to call again :)

It's unlikely any of them checks their email given their demographic. Sending emails would be screaming into a void. While cathartic, probably not very effective.

A theory on why a meaningful number of people voted for a con man.

I am done arguing. Have a wonderful day.

He didn't validate my feelings. It's moot anyway. I don't live in a swing state.

Look if calling me names makes you feel good, by all means do so. I am interested winning the next set of elections.

I doubt Trump voters are on blue sky. Please think about ways to resist, and also win elections. Not fight with those who have similar goals as you on non substantive points.

He did. Obviously he lied and didn't follow through. But he said I hear you. Your life sucks. Dems said your life doesn't suck. Look at the GDP and so on. Sooner we learn the lesson that voters' feelings matter, the better we'd be.

And no reason we can't hold online townhalls where the reps are invited. It is free reach for them. They decline at their own peril.

Hate to be a stickler. It's the roosters who need to expose their cloackas. Not the chickens.

Lawyers Caught Citing AI-Hallucinated Cases Say It’s a ‘Cautionary Tale’ For All Law Firms The attorneys filed court documents referencing eight non-existent cases, then admitted it was a "hallucination" by an AI tool.

Do you think people can tell fact from fiction?

The frog is debating if it should show that it knows it is being slowly boiled to death by jumping out of the pot. What if they turned up the heat early?

I think you are missing a key piece. The goal I suspect is to buy time. Buy time to push out those who might push back on an illegal order to not comply to an order by the courts.
