blue no matter who has led directly to open fascism and you lazy backtobrunch dems are gonna have to reckon with that

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I have never obstained from voting in my life. I'm just done voting for red or blue Republicans.

Dems ran a Republican in 2024 and it worked out as it should have. She lost. The vote I regret far more was my vote for Joe Biden in 2020.

I don't want Republicans because I don't want Republicans policy, so Dems should probably stay away from Republican policies.

Newsome also doesn't want to tax the rich. Newsome also want to continue to arm Israel. None of this is stuff "Democrats" are supposed to support. He will lose and Dems will deserve it if they nominate him.

Defending Newsome means you are at least OK with transphobes and are likely a transphobe yourself. At a minimum you don't think trans people are worth defending.

The whole Winter Olympics is ridiculous. Biathalon, curling, luge, skeleton and I am sure others are all entirely ridiculous. This is the best part of the Winter Games.

2025 was the year that COVID finally fell out of the top 3 killers of Americans and it remained in the top 10 even in 2025. COVID didn't end in 2020. It continued on for several years afterwards and there is a case that it is ongoing. That spans the Trump and Biden presidencies.

They both were president when COVID happened and they both utterly failed to meet the moment.

This is the third time Dems have done this in the last 20 years. Why would Europe believe them?

"They may be evil but they have a D after their name, so what else can I do?" is a really bad voting strategy and also really unappealing for people not in your political cult.

Dems belief that it is fine to vote for just straight up evil in the general election as long as they have a D after their name because "what else are you gonna do?" is really fucking stupid and also really unappealing for those who are not in their cult.

You've got that all wrong.
The only thing Harris ran on was fear.
"Trump bad" wasn't good enough for those of us with more to lose.
It's the privilege of those who watched as my loved one was kidnapped by the Obama administration & taken to a country he'd never been to that allowed Trump.

the entire conservative ethic of constitutional interpretation is nothing but "the Warren Court said Black people, immigrants, and queer people should have a few rights and we want to undo that."

And it's never been anything else. EVER.

imagine smugly announcing the minority group(s) you're personally willing to sacrifice for your own comfort as though it sets you aoart from the fucking nazis

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Star Trek Deep Space Nine baseball card of Odo having sex for the first time

How do you think that I, an individual voter, had control of that lever?

That's weird, she just told me that she didn't even race today.

You believe the leader's job is to not lead on the divisive topics of the era? Do you know what leadership even means?

"The leader of the country's job is to not lead on the divisive topics of the era" is an insane take.

“If Kamala was president right now we wouldn’t have x”

Well, she’s not. Let’s learn why and how that happened and maybe focus on that instead of screaming at people who didn’t vote.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps.

I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

So what about the thousands killed by Biden's,s COVID policies? What about his horrific immigration policies? Do you spout your self righteousness to the families who have lost loved ones in Gaza?

Harris ran for president explicitly as a W Bush Republican.

One of my purity tests is not doing shit like this.

Youth football is child abuse.

My vote didn't lead in this direction any more than people's votes for Harris. My votes for Obama and Biden also lead directly to this result. I have never felt worse about a vote than the one I cast for Biden. Biden was a terrible man who did terrible things. I'm done voting for that.

Maybe not the purpose of Chuck's post, but I would really like for Democrats to be the opposite of Republicans. Think about it. A real opposition party. Sure would be nice.

Baseball is apparently super excited about unregulated gambling. Seems like it should be a problem given that the best closer in the game will never pitch again because he was gambling on the game just last year. And MLB apparently wants more of this.
