Never trust someone who looks like they could be anywhere between 20 and 60 years old

No idea what speeches you're referring to. I'm basing it on her actions and lack of.

You need to stop living in this blue maga bubble.

My conclusion:
When Mr. Trump attacks democratic institutions, he does so in the manner of a car wreck — so flagrantly destructive as to command public attention. When the Supreme Court undermines our democracy, as it seems poised to do in Callais, it feels more like a slow poisoning: the attacks may be harder to notice, but they are just as deadly

Labour supporters did this in the UK. They're only saying bad things to win the election, and that once in power we could all lobby our MPs to get the party to change. "Can't do anything unless you're in power" etc

Turned out to be a childish fantasy, like every sane person said at the time.

So you're saying that people who support trans rights cost the dems an election, and your answer to this is not for the dems to change anything to attract these peoples' votes (which you think the dems need to win) but to simply tell them to be quiet?

This is genius stuff.

There's literally a famous quote about it:

"Meet me in the middle" says the unjust man. You take a step forward. He takes a step back. "Meet me in the middle" says the unjust man.

Running "centrist" is just this. Repeatedly. Constantly.

It doesn't even make sense. They lost because people who support trans rights (and oppose war crimes etc) didn't vote dem but also these issues do not matter to voters?

if these issues don't matter to voters, how did it cause the dems to lose an election?

Just nonsense, from bigots and idiots.

Petition: Use Proportional Representation at the next General Election
Change the voting system to Proportional Representation instead of First Past the Post. We think this would eradicate disillusionment and encourage voter participation as people could start to believe...

At this point im starting to wonder if hearing the words “purity test” are a dogwhistle because the most shit opinions in the universe will almost always immediately follow it

You repeatedly saying that she didn't support genocide doesn't make it true. The evidence is overwhelming.

But the OP said fuck Newsom and your reply was that expecting Dems to support trans rights is a "purity test", and everyone should vote for them anyway.

No you're back tracking because a trillion people called you out on it.

The foundations were already shaky. George W Bush stole an election, Mitch McConnell stole the supreme court...
What's happening now is the result of a decades old conspiracy by rich fascists and a relentless assault by the GOP.
Trump is just a figurehead.

I liked the response from Novara Media's always excellent Ash Sarkar when asked why she thought Tony Blair was asked to be involved.

"He has 100s of 1000s of Arabs' blood on his hands. Tony Blair should be heading to The Hague, not to Gaza."

What I told Piers Morgan on his show this week, about the ludicrous and colonial plan to have Blair help Trump run Gaza.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

She's saying her own sister is trans. You can choose your friends etc
gruffthedog.bsky.social @gruffthedog.bsky.social · 19h
She was labeled a genocide supporter because the administration she was in, the one where she was vice president and presiential nominee, actively supported genocide and countless other war crimes.

The fact that you personally refuse to accept reality is neither here nor there.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”
