Thank you for saying it out loud. Time to move on.

I disagree. My evidence is 40 years of living in rural areas that has me very familiar with the sexism that drives daily life. Farm/rural life is male based - the son gets the farm. Add racism to the mix and Harris was doomed.

Mayor, rep, senator - less of an issue. President - no way.

My take.

Run a straight white male. Would have worked in 24 and will be required to win in 28,32,36,40....

I am typically tough on Klobuchar but this is well done.

Call the Republicans out by name. Let her constituents and the rest of red America know who's screwing them.

Keep it up.

Yes, they are happy. He's feeding their bigotry. The financial whining is just playing their bail-out card.

Acceptable from Oct 27-31. Alarming the rest of the year.

When we get control back we need to investigate and prosecute wage theft. Farm by farm by farm.

Expecting farm workers to subsidize farm businesses (and us greedy ass consumers) is unethical and immoral.

She really eats up this bipartisan stuff. Has she looked at the Whitehouse lately?

Sure, we're supposed to help you out while you reliably vote for people who screw the rest of us over.

You'll get no sympathy from me but I do feel bad for the 19% of your county that voted for Harris.

Court them? How about he calls them out for the cruel a-holes they are? They're easy to find - they'll be in church tomorrow morning.

Talk about how your Republican colleagues are the ones pushing people off the cliff.

Say it loudly. Stop playing nice.

This interview between @pkrugman.bsky.social and @chenoweth.bsky.social is absolutely fantastic. A great introduction to Chenowith's work.

paulkrugman.substack.com/p/talking-wi...
Chenoweth: Well, this is where it’s really important to learn from the history of these movements, which is that it’s usually not about a single day of protest. It’s about building power for the long haul. The average campaign that succeeds takes a few years to do so. I shouldn’t say that this is prescriptive or predictive either, by the way. But, if we just look at the historical record, we know that it takes time for campaigns to build the power that begin to tap into those pillars of support and create loyalty shifts, etc. And that one of the reasons movements win when they win is because they are resilient to the repression that they experience in the meantime.

Nicely done and appropriate.

Now tell us why you're still voting for Trump nominees.

"Prominent Republican lawmakers have claimed the Democrats are looking to provide tax dollars to help pay for the heath care of undocumented immigrants. That is not true."

Alright! Tell it like it is NPR - doesn't shrugging off Republican shackles feel good?

Tim Cook's personal $1m donation and the butt kissing caused Trump to lose his memory. Miraculous!
