KC Says FREE LINK @kccomplainsalot.blacksky.app · 1h

sometimes people say Trump likes being President and I say you don’t spend all your time pre-occupied with a ballroom and hanging up gold crap in the Oval Office is you actually like being President.

He’d also have more of a problem with Miller and Vought if that was the case.

Every poll is like:

"Should we eat our own shit?"

31% yes
39% no
30% don't know

but there are still people getting paid to argue for how Democrats can finely tailor an eat-some-shit message to win over the median moderate voter, of which there are zero.

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 3h

It's darkly funny anytime one of these consultant pamphlets comes out about how Democrats can scientifically carve up the electorate to eke out a win, meanwhile the current president spent the campaign swaying on stages, giving 45 minute speeches about who's nice to him. Riding in a garbage truck

i just need people to know it's not hypocrisy when Devout Christian Mike Johnson cuts off SNAP benefits. it's not a lack of "christian charity" to make kids starve; it's because the christian right wants to control who gets food, through churches, so they can deny queers and sluts at will

His reaction to this entire thing also shows he isn't ready for prime time. At all. It was the first real negative thing to come out of what was such a hopeful campaign, and he shit the bed in response. Just clownshow shit.

My assumption is he means this test, which he treats as “they test to see how big my brain is” but that is instead used to test cognitive decline and even to look for damage post-stroke, correct?

It is impossible to overstate how much the Dem base right now just wants someone with young, aggressive energy to stop Trump at all costs and punish the lawbreakers.

If the Democrats can't become a party that tells Eleanor Holmes Norton, "Thanks, but it's time for you to jog on" after all this party and their voters have been through then it's going to be a real rough election cycle.

Stop. That's what they want. They want you to give up and not bother, because you're afraid and disillusioned. CA and NJ are both heavily vote-by-mail states. Prop 50 in CA is on track to overwhelmingly pass. Don't give up.

They are monitoring Passaic County, NJ, which has the highest percentage Latino population in the state.

In CA, they are monitoring LA County, Kern, Riverside, Fresno and Orange. Aside from Kern, these are among the counties with the highest Latino pop in the state.

Who the fuck cares what people outside of NYC think of someone who is only running for office in NYC?

Also, your results indicate people outside of NYC don't know the dude, not that he is wildly unpopular.

The challenges of not understanding why a law professor— who is not a journalist— might want to explain to the public what the Constitution says and explain the history and principles behind it when powerful people are out to undermine our law.

How is this so hard to comprehend?

The ballroom is such an obvious winning political issue for Dems, it’s breathtaking how little they want to talk about it. It will be ugly, omnipresent, a literal metaphor for Trump‘s disinterest in doing anything that actually helps American voters. Run on it, you fucking morons.
