Here's what I don't understand: why are these guys letting themselves be humiliated by a decaying octagenarian who doesn't have a firm grasp on reality?

The time for engaging young voters is now, not several months/years in the future. It still very much feels like the DNC is extremely reluctant to endorse younger candidates or leadership. There are still members in their late 70’s & 80’s who are stubbornly opposed to standing aside

For lack of a better term, this somewhat apathetic approach from the DNC shows that it has learned nothing from 2024. The youth live in the here and now. Republicans have made so many inroads with younger voters precisely because they don’t ignore them and actively court younger candidates

“Stay tuned for Q2ish next year for some updates on how we’re going to keep building the bench for young folks in the Democratic Party” So young people have to wait until halfway through next year to find out how the DNC *might* increase their representation? That’s simply not good enough

Twitter is beyond saving at this point, I believe. I’m keeping my account for DM & anti-impersonation purposes but I think I’m done posting there as well. Bluesky & Mastodon aren’t owned by a centi-billionaire pushing an illegal porn bot

Is anyone else having a bit of a hard time focusing right now? Knowing that a complete madman is turning friends and allies against the US & destroying our way of life is simply maddening to say the least

The whole point is to permanently undermine the public’s trust in government institutions, and it is scarily working quite well

He couldn’t go even 2 minutes before going off on a hateful tangent about “DEI” and Pete Buttigieg “running the DOT into the ground” 🤦🏻‍♂️

It truly is sad, looking at how many friendships and families have been broken up due to the selfishness of others…. I can’t imagine the headspace required to cheer on the mass deportation of immigrants, especially if they themselves are immigrants or 2nd generation

The current housing shortage/crisis will get exponentially worse here very quickly if Donald Trump accomplishes even a fraction of the total deportations he is looking to carry out….

Re: Pete Hegseth There are dozens of conservative generals that Donald Trump could have chosen that would have easily sailed through the Senate, but he chose a talk show host with a checkered history instead?

Is anyone else just a little bit disturbed that the federal government is likely going to shut down again in a matter of days? Why is this a problem unique to the United States?

Is there a coherent reason why more left leaning political groups appear unable to form a cohesive front against a resurgent far right? The French parliament, for example, passed a vote of no confidence despite several center & left parties agreeing to form a coalition this summer

That’s how most executives are compensated though, right? Most do receive a salary but the majority of their “pay” comes from stock options (with many being forced to cary a certain amount of stocks for their positions).

I was thinking specifically of crap like this: www.forbes.com/sites/antoni.... There are zero reasons anyone should be getting that kind of pay while thousands are simultaneously being laid off

Meanwhile, executive pay remains at all time highs! At some point (probably in the not too distant future) we are going to have to clamp down on the rampant greed we are seeing from c-suites and force them to take more long term positions over the preferred short term

The vast majority of politicians publish their campaign planks online. We are almost 25 years into the 21st century, where most people have smartphones or other devices. Why can’t people be bothered to look this stuff up?

Billionaires are a failing of society, to be perfectly honest. There are zero reasons for single individuals to have anywhere close to that amount of money, especially when there is such a wide gap in wealth inequality
