When Minority Leaders Jeffries or Schumer, VP Harris or even now private citizen Jaime Harrison skeets out a message, the leftists and “do somethings” descend on them like buzzards on a carcass. Ken Martin gets dialogue completely devoid of vitriol while the DNC backs a Nazi. Seriously??

The Democrats who stood behind Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and then Kamala Harris have been TELLING YOU that this was ALL coming! And some of you are acting like this is new information? You just weren’t listening.

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

The problem—which both the GOP and the milquetoast institutionalists seem to not be grappling with here—is that the more you close off avenues of political change through the democratic process, the more you push people to see extra-institutional mechanisms as their only option

When the voters approve a map to help Democrats, it's nullified. When Republican legislators approve a map to help Republicans without going to the voters, it's allowed. The system is rigged to help the fascists.

So you get euphemisms like “the groups” and “purity politics” from more sophisticated political actors which is clearly understood by less sophisticated political actors because they turn around and plainly interpret it as “we should’ve never mentioned water poisoning in Flint”

I have completely lost confidence in the judiciary's ability to protect fair elections. We have courts that won't stop GOP attacks on democracy but will stop Dem attempts to fight back.

This will make for the quite split screen for when Florida's conservative supreme court likely ignores the state's 2010 constitutional amendments and blesses DeSantis' +4 map.

Blue states having less partisan courts while red states can stack their courts with partisan Republicans is kind of a disaster.

Obama and other liberals keep saying that they want a "strong GOP". Well, this is what it looks like: a brazen and gleeful rejection of Black people having anything worth respecting or defending and alignment with an openly white nationalist agenda that holds nonwhiteness in contempt.

Based on everything I see, I think certain folks are truly unconcerned about Black folks losing their voting rights in various parts of this country. I think some of them are low key thankful this happened, because they never stopped wanting Black folks to be on the front lines to save them.😒

that was on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women and laughing about Epstein liking them young. America got to today because voters overlooked all of that and did so in 2020 and 2024. I say 2020 because it shouldn’t have been that close for Biden either. If you’re still running around

John Fetterman, Graham Platner, and Tucker Carlson all grew up with money (Carlson most of all) and have prominent national positions (or in Platner's case, a live shot at one). They're different from each other, but they're all white men called working class because of how they dress and/or talk.

The term “working class” in common usage today isn’t about income or type of work. It’s been superseded by a postmodern definition focused on aesthetics and culture war stances. A barista who puts pronouns on a nametag is an elite. So is every adjunct lecturer. I don’t think this is a good change.
