"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

Trump’s Gaza peace plan is already collapsing. Israel killed at least 5 Palestinians overnight. They have also refused to open the Rafah border crossing. Neither Hamas or Israel officially signed on to Trump’s deal. Without a 2 state solution Trump’s deal will collapse in record time #ProudBlue

Go. No excuses. At 3.5% of the population gets out to protest a government, it tends to fall. We need over 12 main people to show up. Just do it.

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”
