Is there literally no Democrat who wants to run who isn't repugnant?

I really want to support the democratic nominee. I want to knock on doors and get out the vote but I swear to God I just need someone who feels human

Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday a decision on whether to pursue the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination comes down to whether he thinks he can meet “both the challenge and the promise of tomorrow” and execute on it.

Rahm Emanuel points to record, trust with Republicans as he considers presidential bid

Former Chicago mayor and Japan ambassador Rahm Emanuel said at a City Club of Chicago luncheon he needs to have something unique to say and know he can execute on it to run for president.

I think I heard some guy say "I would rather die standing than live on my knees"...idk, probably that guy never won anything or did anything important and definitely doesn't know how to overthrow a dictator

OP didn't say "nonviolence is the way" he said, "willingness to die to defeat them" is the way.

Yeah, he referenced Gandhi but he didn't say, "we must use all the same tactics as Gandhi."

Weren't you making "gay chicken" reddit posts 4 years ago? If you have only stopped doing this hyper masculine, homophobic troll act four years ago, why should Maine trust you with a 6-year-term?

If you see a video like this and think "eh, fascists will win anyway" the issue isn't that others find conviction inspiring, the issue is that you have lost your conviction. But thanks for the doomerism, I guess.

If there was one fail proof tactic to beat fascism we wouldn't be in this mess. Still, a common thread in successful anti fascist and anti colonial movements is a willingness to die to protect your people from this shit.

Idk what your point here is, that because people who are willing to die for their cause don't always win no one should feel that conviction? Of course evil sometimes wins. But that doesn't mean that amoral evil doesn't flinch in the face of community love.

I keep thinking about this with all the different fundraisers and mutual aid organizing leading up to the SNAP cuts; I am still paying for it, but it's a lot less effective than when the govt pooled everyone's money into one place

I am reading this in my car parked outside a board game bar because I got here a little early. How dare you call me out like this 😆

Exactly! Maybe German generals distrusted Himmler, maybe they hated Himmler. It doesn't matter unless you oppose him.

In the body of the article it says that "the weapon discharged when the agent tried to grab an individual who apparently rammed into a vehicle" so I had to read the whole article to learn that no, the weapon didn't spontaneously discharge, the ICE agent shot two people.

Headline from CNN: "2 injured, including a US marshal, after an ICE agent's weapon discharged during LA immigration enforcement operation"

PolitiFacts has a post on this; the origin of this list is a threads post and there's no evidence supporting it. One red flag is that victims of SA (especially minors) are usually kept anonymous.

He is clearly a predator and there are many credible allegations against him, but not these.

I get where you are coming from, but if you read the article the group chat is basically Ingrassia saying outrageously racist stuff and other Republicans responding, "This sounds like white nationalism and you aren't going to be able to get jobs talking like this. Take it down a notch."

Heartbreakingly, understance went out of business. I was able to get my gf her first not black or tan bras that really fit and relieved back pain from them. They made some real quality shit, I am so sad about it.

Not enough, but I feel like with so much shopping happening online it has to be more known than most budget shit. 5 brands that I regularly use --undersummers, snag tights, hobbii, Gender Free World, and understance--have sent emails explaining the costs, or how they are adjusting for US customers

I have a beautiful wood board that my grandfather made for my mom, and she gave to me. It is probably over 40 years old. I oil it every so often and it still looks great.

Why would I need titanium?!
