Vote splitting in Ontario amongst the NDP, Liberal and Green Parties who all broadly share most of their main policy platforms is handing Ontario to the Cons on a sliver platter. The Ontario NDP and Liberal Parties need to consider radical change like close cooperation or even merging

Russian intelligence is reportedly looking for traitors to Putin within the Kremlin. Information about a possible coup d’état has put the Kremlin gremlin in a state of high alert. New sanctions & the crumbling oil infrastructure have triggered the beginning of the end.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

Want to know why Texas is gerrymandering? So they can control the congress and keep sucking from blue states.

Ca is a donor state. In 2023, Ca paid $78 billion more than received in fed taxes.

Tx is a moocher state. In 2023 Tx received $80 billion more in fed spending than it paid in fed taxes.

2000s Dems found that supporting the Iraq war wasn’t the key to winning elections. Voters who wanted that backed Bush.

2010s Dems found that running away from Obama didn’t yield wins. Voters who wanted that went GOP.

2020s Dems will find that Bigotry Lite isn’t the key to winning elections either.

I can’t handle a media that thinks its job is to learn from voters what they think about world events that the media won’t accurately report on to those same voters. Backwards insanity.

It's not too late for the left to run someone who doesn't have nazi tattoos against Mills. I will cut the candidate introduction video for them if you want. I've got lens flare transitions and everything, it can look like Platner's if you need it to.

Latino voters are waking up to news a Honduran man was struck and killed on a Virginia highway while trying to flee ICE agents in Virginia. That will blow a hole in the GOP's Latino voter outreach nine days out from election day in Virginia.

The event aimed to get Virginians out to vote for “faith, family, and common-sense leadership in the 2025 elections."

I'd make a bad news interviewer, because I'd crack up upon hearing "this is interference in US sovereign matters," like when an absurdist joke catches you off guard.

Canadian commenting on US policy towards Canada is unfair? And after the US president says Canada shouldn't be sovereign? Come on.
