Holy shit. CUBA is schooling the US on democracy. As if things couldn't be more upside down.

I watched the new movie yesterday and now I'm terrified.

I honestly think it is the only job of a Party. Win elections and amass power in order to do the things you want to do.

I value your input here, but I have to disagree with this. Yes, Dems should be educating the public in all 50 States for the purpose of winning elections in all 50 States.

Where I differ is that the Dem Party's chief goal should be winning elections and power. Everything else flows down from there.

just make sure the staffers make clear your mandate.

To extend the thought exercise, I bet living next to such a neighbor would be a breath of fresh air. Trying to communicate in limited ways and developing a relationship that is more pure than the ones where we feud with English speakers over the speacial assessment the HOA is proposing, et cetera.

Thank you for the clarification.

That's certainly what it feels like.

Okay thanks....

And not to hijack, but are there potential pitfalls when it comes to seating a new congress? I expect all kinds of crazy retouching over the two months between the election and the new term. I'm sure all kinds of Dem-elect candidates are going to be contested.

What's funny is people were taking what I was saying as support for Plattner, demamding i answer if i think the tattoo is okay....totally left field stuff. One person was saying I was attacking Mcdonald. Not at all! People don't even read what they're responding to.

Is this the rationale behind the argument I've seen that in the event of a contested Congress that new members can meet anywhere and be sworn in by anyone as long as there is a quorum? That, in effect, johnson can't prevent a new congress from forming?

I've severed ties with family over racism and Nazi ideals. These were easier relationships to sever so I'm not sure it took much courage. Luckily no one I'm super close with has forced me to choose. Though the longer this goes on, the more I think this will tear families apart a al the Civil War.

That's what I'm saying...

Which super pax is it?

Yeah? Well me too. Not sure what you're sorry about. So if you're confused as to why I'm writing this, maybe go back and see what I'm actually talking before you respond with what you think Im talking about.

I dumped him as soon as I found out it was legit. And for every person that I see saying we need him for some reason or another seems to make the cringiest of arguments as to why it's okay. Normalizing it would be worse than actually electing someone that had priors.

Well you got the answer you were asking for, smartass.

Wake Up '92 @wakeup92.bsky.social · 3d

I have caught so much shit since last night for pointing out this very thing.

This makes me sick.

Republicans in DC are manufacturing a crisis. They’re choosing not to send out SNAP benefits in a cynical attempt to gain political leverage.

This is truly Washington at its worst.

I'd like to see the breakdown 18-30. I know some 20-somethings that I tbink voted Trump so it'd be interesting to see where the buyers remorse is across ages.

My point isn't whether she's justified in leaving the campaign. To be clear, she is. Happy?

Of course I do, but that's not what I'm talking about.
