At a time when he’s cutting health insurance subsidies and assistance for children, he wants young mothers to have dozens of separate doctor visits over years and track various shot schedules while their kids spend vulnerable years unvaccinated and now with untreated fevers.
lol you mean the people that would never vote for him a second time but voted for Trump instead? WTF does that have to do with 3rd party voters? Trump made gains with literally every demographic from Latinos to suburban WW. Right or wrong, Harris was seen as Biden 2.0.
So did you. So there’s that.
Biden was a terrible candidate who originally indicated that he wouldn’t run a second term. Yet he did and the fact that Dems refused to have a real primary and essentially set Kamala Harris up for failure is a stain on a party that is already polling at 30%. Your level of denial is Trumpian TBH.
You know how to Google right? This is a pretty easy one.
People who stayed home, NOT 3rd party voters. Literally a 2 second google search will show you this.

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.
No I didn’t miss it. I was correcting you. 3rd party voters had absolutely zero impact on why Kamala lost. The post-election polling data proves it.
They’ll never learn. My biggest fear is that if/when we survive this madness, instead of swinging way left of center, the base will “vote for a ham sandwich” meaning any milquetoast centrist loser will get the nom because everyone is traumatized and craving normality.
Third party votes are absolutely NOT why Kamala lost. Only 2% of voters voted third party and of that, most would have never voted for Harris (or Trump, for that matter) anyway. It’s the fact that she had such low voter turnout among Dems & her failure to distance herself from Biden.
Voters didn’t want Hillary or John Edwards, they wanted a candidate like Barack Obama—even though Dem leadership didn’t. I’m not saying HRC wasn’t qualified but she had baggage & was part of the establishment too long. Dems need to understand how much the voting base is craving change.

Local law enforcement might not do it but goddamn do they seem to love sitting back and watching ICE do it.
God forbid they protect and serve.

Quote from Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million to the U.S. military, so you know who we’re dealing with:

“Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the "Establishment" to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations”.
You guys have learned nothing from the devastation of the Washington Post. That’s your future.
I mean, you’re going after a billionaire with endless resources. Miller and Co are gonna meet their match.

"Walkable, dense, urban metropolitan areas are associated with
higher economic activity, with the largest 35 urban metros in the U.S. accounting for 19.1 percent of U.S. GDP despite only making up 1.2 percent of U.S. land and 6.8 percent of the total U.S. population."

ICE/DHS, FBI, and local police on horseback, along with a secret police force in black tactical gear, were witnessed violently confronting the relatives of individuals abducted during a raid at a "Family Day" rodeo in Idaho. Among those who have gone missing are children and U.S. citizens.
