Jentleson and Mehdi Hasan have been arguing on Twitter about whether or not the Harris campaign was sufficiently left or right, and the end result is that almost none of that positioning mattered when people thought Trump was gonna Do Good Economy and Give Me Money.

Whatever. I don’t care who it is as long as they ruin the lives of the people in charge now.

I still remember the 2020 Georgia Senate election when Purdue got like 49.7% of the vote because the libertarian got 2% or something so it went to a runoff that Ossoff won. They really are some of the Dems' strongest soldiers.

a one year 50% increase is straight up the worst way to boost defense spending. literally just gonna blow money on programs that cannot get finished
