Joe Biden was a good President who did good things, and Kamala Harris would’ve been even better.

Anyway, I just want to hurl the rebel crew from the land I love the best. I don’t see why that should be controversial.

Nah. They want racism more than they want any of those things. They could have voted for Democrats, who created Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, wanted to fund schools, help them buy homes, help with their medical and educational debts. They chose racism over everything else. I say let them choke on it.

When hatred of liberalism makes up the core of your entire personality I guess it does make sense that eventually you'd start quoting the fucking Nazis, since they *did* publish a lot of choice quotes to own the libs with, I'm sure gazing into that particular abyss will have no negative consequences

Not for nothing, the person who coined the "Kamala is a cop" meme that took off like wildfire in "leftists" circles was a woman who was convicted under Harris' tenure as AG for indecent contact with a minor, a teenage boy.

I created this scoreboard for how often you & MAGA mouthpiece Joe Rogan agreed with one another during your interview last summer, after he endorsed Trump 2.0. It's quite revelatory!

we should recognize that a lot of these overperformances would be flying under the radar were it not for @taniel.bsky.social and @boltsmag.org
Early returns in Louisiana’s special election:
The Dem candidate is leading 58.5% to 41.5%. That’s with a third of the vote in.
Context: this is a Dem-held seat but in a district TRUMP carried by 13%, so has been a big/obvious GOP target. Stay tuned.

i think having a site that is so strongly devoid of conservatives has been useful because people are suddenly forced to be on the receiving end of bad behaviors they themselves have frequently encouraged for a long time

We’re looking at another very big Dem overperformance tonight—in a Trump+13 district. Dem Chasity Martinez is up 61-39 with more than half the vote in. Notably, like in TX last weekend, the e-day vote has been even *better* for her than the early vote. voterportal.sos.la.gov/graphical

The sad thing is, I bet they wrote this (about a natural born US citizen) before Bezos fired everyone.
The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

Every single thing Harris proposed was for us all. This is so telling - shared equity is a "loss" to white people. As a white woman I know we get all the benefits of a Dem administration. How anyone white could say "nothing for white people" is insane. It's just not "white only" with Dems.

When Democrats stated that they wanted to pass the IRA and Build Back Better and could not pass Build Back Better because they did not have the votes, the entire progressive sphere tore them to pieces and claimed they didn't actually want to pass Build Back Better.
‘We cannot state political goals that cannot pass at this exact moment’ is some real loser talk.

the vassal states of the famously non-colonialist soviet union might beg to differ.
