Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

I mean that’s fine, but there’s no such thing as a leader that can take over for Schumer or Jeffries and fix this.

I desperately need you to understand the actual problem here instead of pretending Trump is the way he is because of Schumer and his hallucinated voters.

I can only be both if we could achieve the utopia with their wealth, and we can’t. You can’t buy food with shares of Tesla

Conservatives are wrathful because they perceive that society won’t let them kill people they don’t like. I’m wrathful because they’re killing people they don’t like and I want to prove them right.

I have no interest in watching ai slop. Does he want to bet me on whether I set foot in a movie theater again?

Obama won a lot of swing voters.

The real problem with chasing the base in a presidential general is that you can’t win the election doing that. I don’t care about running up the numbers in blue states.

No don’t you see that the US congress would be much more representative if it had all the exact same people in it but they had different letters after their name? Someone like Jeffries would never be able to assemble a coalition of all the left of center parties to attain leadership.. well shit.

The problem is that putting up a popular artist that they like isn’t good enough.

When I see who’s playing the SB I think “hey a talented artist that sells a lot of records” but to them he’s purposefully chosen to make them mad, so anything to mollify them has to make the libs mad.

So Kid Rock

Here’s my point:

1) Pick the biggest 3 things happening in politics right now

2) Ask yourself if you went back in time 6 months and told your past self about them, does past you go “I believe those would be the big issues we face”

News cycles move fast and reality goes with it.

I won’t think about the primaries even if you put a gun to my head.

I think the fact that we’re getting a bunch of weird unpredictable political violence *against* the right should be a blaring alarm for them.

I’d go a step further - I won’t bother voting for any candidate that doesn’t promise this.

We either do Reconstruction 2: This Time We Fucking Mean It or there’s no point in solving this electorally.

I’ll be honest here, as a Pennsylvanian I didn’t like our senate candidate after the primary and I ended up being right. And Platner sounds a lot like our guy.

Hopefully he’ll be fine, but I’m a little snake bitten on the hard charging outsider who’s going to shake things up with some odd beliefs

Who’s stupid enough to even do that study though? I’ve been to college and I know beer selection is more about price than anything else.

This is like asking an alcoholic what he looks for in a liquor, I can tell you he’s interested in what comes in a plastic bottle.

So is this something you actually believe is just good journalism because you don’t understand why they used it or do you just agree with the MAGA point of view here? Because those are the only two options.

Oh definitely, I’d rather we had solved this in the primary but a Bernie endorsement tends to be the end of the road for a significant portion of the party

He’s been a piece of shit for years though. The issue is that everyone pointing that out got called a neolib

Every accusation isn’t even a confession, it’s just that the basic premise of conservatism is that the rules are for you, not us.

We can’t bother pointing out hypocrisy when it’s a feature not a bug. Of course he can commit voter fraud, because he’s voting for the right people.
