Am I missing something? This sounds like the platform is now burner phones.

And here is the glowing problem with a republic. You only have to buy one vote to thwart the will of 100 million people. Democrats need to leave Fetterman behind and look for his replacement, loudly.

I saw Bill play with the Descendents in the mid 80s. He walked into the entrance hall of the club and tossed his sticks in anger after their set. The woman I was with said, "You guys sounded great!" and he replied "Fuck you hippie!" Good times!

Yeah yeah yeah, but content is placed to explicitly illicit a reaction. That's a fact. Gaslighting those caught in the trap is lame.

Love it. What’s the format? Looks like water color and ink. Maybe digital.

When it comes to cycling, the Dutch succeed because we don't see it as a cost—we see it as an investment. One that delivers returns across healthcare, climate, public space, local economies and quality of life. If we want better cities, we need better business cases: dutchcycling.nl/knowledge/bl...

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

These quotes were cherry picked examples of them trying to please Aipac. Either one could have lead us into war with Iran but they didn't.

Plot twist. Those republicans never existed. They talked the talk. That’s what got us here.

What happens? They still control another news outlet. That’s the point. Not ratings.

Just let it go. It takes 60 votes to impeach so what you're saying is democrats need to waste a lot of time on an already doomed effort. Think about it.

A republican pointing out the system is rigged. Ironic. That noise from Massie will stop when it reaches protecting white male mediocrity. Principles up to a point.

Since racial integration, there is none. Before that the issues dividing republican and democrat were different, but after the civil rights act the republican party lost its mind in service to wealth, religion and racism.

In a parliamentary system that can bring immediate change. But the US is not a parliamentary system and I feel like there is a lot of anguish caused by people not knowing the difference. We can vote democrat up and down the ballot (again) but a single senator can block all progress. Dig in.

I agree on ranked choice but I don’t see that making a real dent in the two party system, we’d just get better candidates. Anything to get some compromise going though!

"Two wings of the same bird" has got to be the most exhausting nonsense. If you don't know how they are different (and similar) why do you even bother? If you think the political world is divided into two neat camps, I've got some bad news for you.

Not impeachment but a recall vote. Every elected official should be eligible for recall at any time. Even the president.

This whole post is a strawman. We could just as easily say we pay them do to something else. Derp.

It only takes one moderate Dem senator to derail all progress. And there is always at least one. It has been this way my entire voting life. Now what?

More propaganda. Don’t think the rest of the world believes these lies. Save it for Twitter.

Nice propaganda piece there. We've had secure and accurate elections for over two centuries. Why solve a problem that doesn't exist and just creates more hurdles for voters?

We must all remember there is a club of wealth and power and none of us are in it. Just like Ellen hanging out with GWB3 even though he would make her marriage illegal in a second. Their world is not the same.

Elections aren't term limits when you can run as many times as you like. Just say you don't understand what terms limits means.

One hundred percent this. Liz Cheney is the worst. She only speaks against trump because he took control of a party she felt entitled too. Her voting record has consistently paved the way for someone like Trump and when questioned on it she simply waves it off.

That's not the Christianity they are talking about. They are talking about the Christianity that burns witches and forces its beliefs through violence. Read up on the Puritans. That's what they want. That's how the think "founded" this nation, not the continental congress.

Bill Clinton has called for the release of those files as well the flight logs to the island many times in the past. While he may be a womanizer, in this case I think he avoided the Epstein trap.

You lost me at the both sides bullshit. It generally means you're not really paying attention and just toss out "both sides" so you sound moderate.
