I know i rant about how the two parties are the same… but if this had been a Dem it would be 90% of the news coverage. How is this not the main story?

Something ive noticed working in a school as a 40+ yr old man who enjoys trying out clothing styles: Teenage boys appreciate it, and i get compliments Teenage girls like to mock it, which i find funny and lean into it But adult coworkers also mock it, which ive found more disappointing

The issue with the media up to this point has been that they gave him his platform They didnt care because most of it didnt hit them personally, and it helped ratings. So they just let him destroy America. This should have happened long ago

If a candidates position isn’t too put affordable housing or a native plant garden over this atrocity, don’t vote for them

If it goes to actual charity, im happy money is flowing into Palestinian aid But $2 mill to Kraft is 0.0001% of his net worth, and likely a beneficial tax write off Its not enough

Always confused when i see “sale of US arms to Israel” when we are the ones buying and giving them Theyre a tax payer gift to Israel. Is the misleading phrasing intentional?

I think it’s painfully telling that quite often the same people who say they support a two state solution… In the next breath decry the phrase “free Palestine”

This is what i was referring to earlier. And this is why we run headlong into fascism. Because even the opposition party cant realize how unification through fear and common enemy is actually bad

Think it’s worth noting: yes some democratic socialists (akin to center left European parties) align Dem, but 100% of communists HATE the Dems. The actual fringe is quite clearly in the GOP, but you wouldn’t realize that if you watched the media

Pappas winning basically means we will have a GOP senator in NH next year. Theyre both pro corporate, genocidal, supporters of the corrupt structure candidates. I expected him to win, but still shitty.

One thing Americans dont need are civil politicians. Because it shouldnt be about the politicians. It should be about the policies. And for decades the policies (of both parties, but especially GOP) has been anti average American and pro corporate greed

The NH GOP is incredibly effective in electing a wildly radical house and a far right governor who can point to fact theyre not quite as radical, selling “willingness to buck party” (actual @nhpr.org quote about ayotte) NH politics has shifted so far right and its never covered that way #nhpolitics

I certainly wouldnt blame anyone for voting Pappas come nov if he wins the primary… But if you vote for him on tuesday, you relinquish any right to complain about a corrupt Washington Vote @karishmaforsenate.bsky.social #nhpolitics

I get that Vance is a racist, depraved man. I do But we would never accept this cavalier response about humans anywhere else Noncombatant Iranian lives are as equal value as any American or European noncombatant I dont think it would irk me this much if he werent a hypothetical religious man

Something ive been thinking a lot. If people who yanked their kids out of public schools to homeschool instead focused on bettering their public schools through volunteering or employment in the school… We’d have more community, better funded schools, and less division

Im worried @democrats.org cant see past the next election. They see midterm and 2028 victories as guarantees, and cant fathom a second surge of fascism But even if right about upcoming elections, groundwork by fascists and an impending AI bubble burst means we have to lay anti fascist groundwork 1/

I think we should start asking center right Democrats why Dems should support them when their policies are more akin to Reagan Republicans than FDR and LBJ. If they demand Leftists clarify their right to belong, so should they

With their rise, the @demsocialists.bsky.social are going to be hammered constantly. Leftists are going to be examined with fine tooth combs, very few outlets are friendly It would behoove leadership to make sure their spokespersons are up for that challenge and have a coherent message.

Im a big fan of DSA, but the abolish senate position seems out of touch Is it a bad idea? Probably not. The senate was intentionally to take democracy from the people and it gives power to major land holders… But it also feels too “socialist backroom theory debate” instead of national platform
