And the repeated use of “stupid” and the random capitalization.

We can change them every two years and we just vote for the incumbents over and over.

Stop threatening action and just do it!

I get it, but I’d rather win elections and hold my tongue than lose elections to MAGA but keep a smug sense of superiority.

No one is forcing voters to choose her.

And Democrats were fine with that racist crook when he was one of them. Democrats also are fine with expanding executive power when their guy is in office. Dems also need more people to leave MAGA and come to their side, but they’d rather attack anyone who wants to.

It’s the citizens who are voting these people into office in the first place.

But you’re fine with Hamas kidnapping people, right?

I wonder who Trump thinks is the President now?

Shawn McCullough @shawnmcc.bsky.social · 4d

But he voted for a guy who routinely called Americans who didn’t agree with him his enemies?

Couldn’t agree more! They need to unrig the political and economic systems, then focus on the other issues.

Shawn McCullough @shawnmcc.bsky.social · 5d

And they don’t want felons chosen as US ambassadors.

And Christie was elected twice. Some people take it for granted that some states are blue states but if you look at actual election results Dems aren’t usually winning in blowouts.

So glad I canceled my subscription to this pathetic excuse for a newspaper.

Will there be consequences or just more warnings (don’t mean that to be snarky, legit question!)

Shawn McCullough @shawnmcc.bsky.social · 6d

Crazy idea, but maybe it’s not any politicians job to use their position to promote their faith or anyone else’s.

Which means she knows it’s still the voters who will determine if she keeps her job, not ICE agents posted outside polling places.

I think so too, but the question that matters is are Republicans angry enough to change how they vote?

They have allowed me to bond with other people on Bluesky who also are not benefiting from tax breaks and subsidies for billionaires.

Shawn McCullough @shawnmcc.bsky.social · 7d

But will it affect how they will vote in the next election?

I remember the theme song, the premise, the characters… but I honestly could not describe the plot of a single episode.

Don’t really believe Hamas either. They’re not the good guys just because of what Israel has been doing.
