For the proof of her bad political instincts and her weakness as a presidential candidate.

Earlier today, I made the comment “Mao stans are weird“ and they’ve spent several hours proving how not weird they by repeatedly trying to provoke arguments, tagging me just to insult me, and stealing my profile picture to post and insult me.

Out of all the lies this White House is telling, this is right at the top. Democrats and Republicans were there on Jan 6th. We both saw the violence and devastation caused by Trump’s mob to try and overturn our democracy.

I’m pretty sure he functions like Bernie does for a segment of the left. Namely, as a self-righteous asshole used to justify their antisocial and abusive behavior.

Liberals say that Trump and his band of drunks, sex abusers, and white nationalists have put our democracy at risk. They're wrong—Trump and his band of drunks, sex abusers, and white nationalists have put our republic at risk.

Doctors say that the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania is likely due to low rates of vaccination. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his van says it’s caused by chemtrails. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

There’s a certain kind of activist whose nesting ground is in progressive politics, who ends up using their influence to self sabotage by telling vulnerable and marginalized people it’s actually unethical to vote for your own survival because the people you have to vote for are imperfect.

It's wild to me that advocates for 3rd party politics will still vociferously defend Ralph Nader's 2000 ratfucking campaign, which was so obviously catastrophic to any non-nihilist that it has permanently saddled the Greens with candidates who are total non-entities or worse than that...

If you look at the world map, it's not favorable to the US largely bc of wrongheaded decisions by this administration"
