Ah yes, let's blame the 3rd party candidate instead of the institutions that undermined the voter's will.

If rapists actually faced consequences for their actions we wouldn’t have nearly as many rapists. In reality many rapists actually benefit from their actions

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

There is a special subclass of them. The ones with lips. In lotta years by aesop rock he talked about someone with lips tattooed on this neck. Any time my wife and i see it we turn and say "the message is immediate" referencing the song.

Who's funding Question 8, the ballot question to roll back the legalization of marijuana? An out-of-state dark money group founded by George W. Bush speechwriters, alleged to be bankrolled by the liquor industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Vote NO on 8.

I have a soft spot for the Boston area FNB chapters. As a kid who grew up poor I would often eat their spaghetti at Copley sq as an extra meal when I didn't have money to buy one.

its not simply about boycotting meta. one company has made their products indispensable for communication in the modern world. they blocked lulas electoral ads the week before the election. theyre trying to sway public opinion against the victim of a gangrape. states need to intervene.

It's absolutely insane that trans people are on her mind just after her son had surgery. Absolutely insane person behavior.

If trans people can impact the election that much, it's bad politics to not try to earn their vote.

With that said, the gas tax is a tax on the poor who often spend more time on their car. While suspending it now isn't a solution to the current problem we should replace it by taxing the rich and funding multimodal infrastructure improvements

Suspending the gas tax is such a non-solution solution. Gas prices will fill the gap quickly and it reinforces our dopendacy on fossil fuels. We need to invest in multi-modal transportation options and focus on green energy, those are longer term solutions to protect against gas prices.

went to a theater here in Massachusetts to watch a movie. Without going TMI here- Look, the average person does not care about trans people using the bathroom. They simply do not. I have never had any issue and only the biggest losers in society, such in our government would care. Says something!

"Don't give archconservative MAGA cranks control of historically large and important media conglomerates" seems like a very low bar, but leading Democrats somehow fail to hit even that. If Democratic leadership wants to understand why it's unpopular with its own base, look no further than this.

They also could be doing it because they are stupid and so consultant-brained they don't actually understand it's a losing strategy. Not trying to give them a pass. They are likely both bigoted and stupid.

To these clown, trans people are too small of a minority to protect, but large enough that their votes are needed. You don't get people to vote for you by attacking them and saying the alternative is worse.

The GOP is historically unpopular, real people are suffering from real issues and dem candidates are attacking trans people and won't shut up about Hasan Piker. This is either accidentally or intentionally the worst political strategy ever.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

I come across so many of these accounts, they only retweet liberal political content and reply to people in support of centrism. I am not saying it's a bot net to promote the status quo, but I also wouldn't be surprised.
