He doesn't actually want to be around people because he doesn't understand how they work. At all. He's following Trump down every weird rabbit hole in an attempt to inherit a diminished MAGA following.

Don't forget his vote for RFK. He's a disaster. I'm glad he's retiring. Fingers crossed that Cooper prevails in November. You deserve better.

Kushner et al apparently benefitting from both Iran war and Russian war. The only GOP play at this point is to pee on America's leg and tell voters that it's raining. Even if there is a big Blue Wave (early voting is open - go now!) it can't possibly be as big as it should be, given the corruption.

I am aware. The way that she killed her victim was cruel. She was also young. She should be in prison for life, like her co-conspirator. She should not be executed by the state. Nobody should be executed by the state.

Judging from the pitchforks being sharpened on here, we do not realize that. If impeachment without removal sent an actual message, we wouldn't be here right now.

ILCitizen @ilcitizen.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
I understand the wanting impeachment, but unless we have the votes to do that + removal, we're spinning our wheels. We only have so much time & stuff needs to get done. If there's two-thirds Dems in the Senate or can get the feckless GOP Sen on board, different story. Duckworth isn't wrong here.

I hear you, but the alternative to the lesser of two evils is just evil. If he ends up sucking, primary him with someone better next go-round. But taking back Congress is imperative. He's a better option than Paxton on every single metric.

Dems are imperfect & we need to do better at running great candidates in primary elections. I always think about how Obama was not pro-gay marriage until he got pushed - I believe by Biden. I think Talarico can be pushed. I believe that Harris could have been pushed on Gaza. We need majorities.

Voting for neither is how we got a monster at the top of the ticket. We all deserve great candidates but, failing that, we vote for the candidate that we can push to do the right thing, not the one who has loudly and unabashedly stated that he will make things worse.

It’s not hard to say “Yes, all girls should get to play sports.” It’s not hard to say “Stop bullying trans kids.” It’s not hard to say “What kind of question is that?” It’s not hard to say “I care more about [so many options here]?” Why is this hard for so many Dems running for office??

I also don't follow sports, but what I've gathered is that the Enes guy is a former NBA guy who decided it would be a fun transphobic stunt to claim to try to join the WNBA. MAGA pastor is also a transphobe who would like to remind everyone that he is a transphobe and also women and women's sports.

Not voting in an election where one of the candidates is a fascist is declaring that fascism is an outcome you’re willing to accept. Which, by definition, means you are not antifascist. You’re at best neutral.

You could also see it in how lots of people who’d been screaming that Harris loves genocide immediately started panicking after Trump won. Like it had only just occurred to them that that was the other possible outcome. Because it had never here occurred to them to think about the outcome at all.
