I once believed the GOP cared about people then I got firsthand experience and learned the only people they care about is the .01%. Independent journalist

We have to continue engaging as long as they exist and when they don’t then the conversation can shift. But they still do and that should be the focus. Otherwise we’re giving Trump what he wants which is accepting defeat.

I wonder if that couldn’t be because they have a massive advantage in corporate special interests funding those operations?

I’m not thinking he’s taking pride more so using it to make a point

They win one consequential election while the Dems were hamstrung by global inflationary pressures and an aged incumbent and now they’re the greatest political party/movement since Reagan’s 49 state win.

Undue influence on elections is not the same as not having predetermined outcomes like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea.

Your argument about Dems not supporting Zohran isn’t evidence of that. He said things publicly that pushed them away.

He still could easily win.

Problems exist sure but we still have elections to change who’s in power unlike Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, etc.

False. Elections are still free in this country. And telling folks they aren’t isn’t going to help. It’s actually helping Trump manufacture consent among his opponents they’ve been defeated.

That’s not the culmination of all good things he’s done. But it’s a substantial one and proves he is not like the aforementioned GOP who have refused to oppose party leadership.

McCain single-handedly killed the GOP’s attempt to overturn the ACA.
That’s not abdication.

Nor Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski. They’ll just pretend to oppose them and verbally say as much but when push comes to shove their votes are there.

The last truly moderate GOP left with McCain, Flake, and Romney.

So “Senator Kaine we know Trump has never honored a commitment in his life so why won’t you give up your only leverage and agree to allow Trump the chance to do what he’s never done”?

Unless he knows the vote or legislation will fail and then he can claim the moral high ground for “trying”.

Great words, Rand. Now how many Democrats are you endorsing in 2026?

That’s the only way to actually hold Trump accountable. Let’s see how many you get behind.

In the world where they’re actively attempting to control opposition by validating you so you don’t feel as compelled to act.

But guess what? No matter how many times they say words that you liked they will vote to confirm Trump’s nominees and fund his wealth transfers and corruption.

Okay great, Rand! So how many Democrats are you campaigning for and endorsing in 2026?

These words are meaningless without action to actually hold Trump accountable and the only way to do that is to elect more Dems

But that “mistake” could have been addressed long ago without a national spotlight dictating it. Why’d he wait?

So “we are holding out until the GOP agrees to fund healthcare for millions of hard working people not for a chance to get them to vote against it”?

Sounds completely reasonable to me.

She’s bought and paid for by the same mega donors who bankrolled Trump’s campaign. Go Abigail!

I read this as: with the current admin corruption is rampant and everyone has their hand out.

What would, in your view, likely have happened to you had they apprehended you and found this picture?

American Patriot @americanpatriot12.bsky.social · 1d

The response to attacks like that: denounce them as bigoted and stand up for New Yorkers by acknowledging their trauma from 9/11 and committing not to use it for political gain/attacks, and then make a solemn promise to be a Mayor for all New Yorkers Jews, Muslims, Christians, atheists alike.

American Patriot @americanpatriot12.bsky.social · 1d

Yes the “anonymous donor” who is named…

American Patriot @americanpatriot12.bsky.social · 1d

He’s a Muslim candidate in NYC. I’m not surprised they’re attacking him over this. I’m more surprised by Zohran’s lack of competency in responding.

If he could name a single passsge of the Bible off the top of his head I’d be absolutely shocked

Reagan did not love tariffs. He hated tariffs because he was 100% pro free market.

Tariffs are the antithesis to a free market.
