That shit’s useless. Voting for a mayor who doesn’t suck would be more helpful.

Auchincloss wants to be a senator from Massachusetts. That would be bad. Don’t platform him.

She’s so bad at everything she does. Imagine if we had someone credible.

Bernie, AOC, Zohran, Pete, and Gavin are worse. You’re selling our side short for failures.

You don’t get it. They need it to provide cohesion for themselves. They need it to define the “us” — they need to hate a “them”.

Dolan’s always been a tribal bigot. He’s a bad Christian.

Then that’s Moore out too. Overeager and desperate to please. He’s HHH coded.

Every Obama appearance since reelection in 2012 has veered closely towards the “Malaise Carter” archetype.

It means people buy stories not facts. This is because of the froth created by Bernanke and Geithner and enabled by Obama with QE.

“Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.” That’s how they operate. When will you fools adapt?

You need to check your tone as it’s clearly falling on deaf ears to many many Democrats. The biggest risk is ICE — once it’s funded to its size it will be hard to get rid of. And it could be used beyond its scope.

Nah. You just want to attack Libs. Check your priors.

gabequixote.bsky.social @gabequixote.bsky.social · 28d

Cool. What are the consequences we will enforce on Kilmeade for saying so? Or for the Right for their increasing barbarity? Let’s agree on the price and collect.

Honestly it should not only be embraced, the fact that a Democratic politician isn’t out there daring Trump to do so is a sign we have poor leadership. If Trump tried that on someone the media judo would be so easy to execute. The foolishness in Leftist lack of media savvy is mind blowing.

You should coin and run with the concept of “De-MAGAfication”. The next administration must be about confronting and destroying authoritarianism here at home and abroad. Period.

It’s simian behavior: mimetic echoing. Look at The Werther Effect where people started committing suicides because their friends had.

It means Trump didn’t want it bad enough. It’s still there as a tyrannical risk.

Justices have no business conducting interviews. Or going to political events. Or legislating from the bench. Or delaying their retirement so they can bequeath their seat to a successor of their choosing as if it were a ducal title.

There’s a difference between a right and a fetish. Between the reluctant use of a weapon and the glorification of its use against perceived enemies. Between humanism and gun culture. Guns are designed to do only one thing: kill.

There’s only one person failing at grasping here. You assume good faith from right wingers after being repeatedly shown bad faith. You expect the media to curate when all they do is amplify.
