For all those folks who are lionizing Jack Smith for speaking the truth at a Senate hearing: 1) your standards are very low. Anyone can tell the truth for a few hours 2) he filed an open and shut winner in FL instead of DC, a deal-breaking blunder 3) he didn’t prosecute ANYONE in Trump’s orbit

Dems are 100% going to think “we won because our campaign was great and we are popular” and not “we won because America hates Trump” and then just carry on as if they’re dealing with a normal opposition party and the world is just going to forgive America and go back to the way things were in 1999.

Absolutely. You should have to be vaccinated to live in a city, period. And vaccinated to enter a school, library, hospital, public building, or common carrier, etc. We don’t have to indulge stupidity by pretending it is a good-faith or legitimate religious or moral objection.

Democrats still had power. They voted for Trumps nominees and judges. They wanted people to shut up about immigration. They didn’t want to force the issue of impeachment. The democrats have been one of the most ineffective opposition parties in American history.

The refusal to go after Musk is a serious validator of the notion democrats have no real interest in winning. No serious party would let someone like him emerge as a major funder of the opposition and just… not say anything about it.

Cowardice is the defining feature of the Democratic Party at all levels. Just sheer, craven cowardice at every step. From Obama just shrugging when the GOP stiffed him on Garland to Biden refusing to say a mean word about Trump to Bonta folding like a cheap suit, Dems are the chickenshit party.

Brad @bradaltad.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Dems’ utter lack of party discipline is their undoing. No one ever heard of some backbench MP from West Flopbottomshire or Poutine-La-Calisse endorsing the opposition or voting against their party and remaining in caucus. Meanwhile Dems regularly shaft their own party and Dems just shrug.

None of Biden’s achievements matter because he failed utterly at the most important task: protecting and strengthening our democracy. He will go down with Bush and Trump as an abject failure whose myopia, “can’t we get along” naïveté, and then monstrous ego damned the US to fascism.

I would love to meet a single human being who says either “I would vote Dem but since they don’t hate trans kids, I’m voting GOP” OR “I was going to vote GOP but since the Dem hates trans people I’ll vote Dem.” THESE VOTERS DO NOT EXIST.

I know I’m screaming at a wall here but at some point Democrats need to understand they don’t look dignified and respectable preemptively saying they won’t impeach Trump. If he bulldozes the Kennedy Center or builds a tree fort over Arlington and they don’t it makes them look weak, not him.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

thehandbasket.co

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Amen to this. It’s so fucking tedious for Dems to say “we don’t support you but we know the GOP are worse so you won’t vote for them.” Obama was affirmatively against gay marriage and we were all told “suck it up, it’s more important to win.”

When democrats shrink away from supporting LGBTQ rights, they are validating Republican framing on LGBTQ issues. Trans rights are not some guilty thing they should be ashamed of and try to avoid. You need to stand up and say that people should have the freedom to live their lives as they wish.

We vote for Dems even though in living memory Dem standard bearers have been opposed to gay marriage and are presently hardly strong allies. But “vote for us because the GOP are worse” is a really crappy argument.

Frankly as a classical liberal I don’t think any of this should be part of normal political discourse, but if they’re demanding it, fine: Even though it shouldn’t matter, right-wing US Evangelicalism is an unlettered perversion that ineptly projects bigotry into scripture where it doesn’t exist.
