Totally agree. This nonsense about blaming Kamala is a distraction. Was she perfect? No. Who cares, when the alternative is a malignant psychopath.

Anyone the Dems would have run (Whitmer, anyone) would have been Hillaried by the right wing disinformation machine.

I’m tired of people blaming Ds.

It is tiresome that so-called centrists seem to always blame Democrats, when all they’ve done is bend over backwards to court the centre.

Do Republicans have ANY agency? Was nominating Hayley or any non-psycho too hard?

Whatever happened to the party of self-reliance and personal responsibility.

He should run for president, just to piss off Trump.

Why can't the invisible hand of the market land the planes.

Also, blockchain fixes this.

Can’t the planes just land themselves is now the official slogan of the 2025 United States

Well, you can hear planes trying to land themselves in Burbank tonight. Cross fingers no issues.

Thing I am grateful for as a US to UK transplant: a monarchy draped in Christian religious symbolism and ritual (see Queen's funeral and King's coronation) that also stands for liberal principles without (too many) heads exploding.

Tolerance: it's a very nice thing to have.

This is not that.

As an actual conservative, I believe that it should be entirely up to local communities how they want to paint their crosswalks.

Putin’s Russia may or may not fit some technical definition of fascism. Who cares — it’s a vile and malevolent regime. It permits a certain level of dissent, elections, etc. as cover so it can claim its non-fascist bona fides.

Trumpism grows like a cancer while we debate what to call it.

Going to post a view that will get me no likes.
Milei's shock therapy was a shot against the populist Peronists that have rotted Argentina for decades.
He ran as an anti-populist: proposing real, painful solutions to hard problems.
Unlike Trump, he seemed to have Argie's best interests at heart.
