I’m sorry Chuck, have you endorsed Mamdani yet?

I didn’t want to see women lose their civil rights. I didn’t wanna see Republicans gain the house after an insurrection.

The responsibility to create a civil society falls on the voters.

Consider, if Mamdani wins it’s because of one element - the votes.

The only reason he is our Democratic nominee is because of the votes.

If we swing leadership, everything else follows.
Republicans understand this.
That’s why Mitch McConnell has handicapped Congress to where we now need a super majority to make government function at all.

It’s not a “nope”
History will prove you challenged.
The last time we had a democratic, super majority in both houses with a Democratic president
58 years ago and look what we did.

The only way we abolish the electoral college is with a Democratic super majority in both houses and a Democratic president.

Both parties are not the same.

On peaceful streets republicans are the domestic terrorists.

Poor & working class Republicans have proved they will vote no matter how intense the abuse.

So what are all the non-Republicans gonna do?

Yes.
Look what happened to that supplicant.
It was unfortunately more bs than that false accusation for many.

You know how little effort it takes to break something?

Staying shut down long enough to prove the “ineffectiveness” of government while we pay their salaries.

I hate the mofos who didn’t vote for Hillary. That’s when the Supreme Court was truly fucked.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

They are attached by ties stronger than reason could break.

You, non republicans must vote.

Melanoma is so ineffective as a first lady they literally demolished her office.

I was going to take a pic from the balcony
80% of the audience during intermission
transfixed on their illuminated phones.

I realized the irony pulling out my phone and thought better of it.

Some reflections
last night seeing
Keanu Reeves
Alex Winter
Waiting for Godot.

It was a deeply serious intellectual play and comically well done.

Aside: We are doomed as a culture if every single available moment, we are only our phones.
