this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

You see me now a veteran
Of a thousand sandwich wars
I've had mustard on this vest so long
cause the wrapper kinda tore

I have tasted
the sandwich
that was lobbed
at my bulletproof vest

and which
you probably spent
your hard-earned
money on

forgive me
it smelled delicious
so onion-y
so mustard-y

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

This is an actual campaign ad by Andrew Cuomo.

It features an AI generated pregnant and feminized "bill."

They do in fact perceive their hypocrisy. They take it as a reinforcement of the validity of their worldview - that those who hold and wield power should be exempt from the rules.

When you point out that they're being hypocrites, they know. Hypocrisy is the point.

“Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”

“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”

Also this. 0% chance that the military fanboy and history buff didn't know what that meant. Come the fuck on.
