It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

2012 is when Republicans developed the unbreakable intuition that they were entitled to win elections notwithstanding what the voters said.

The media smeared Mitt Romney as Hitler. Then Republicans thought, well we might as well run Hitler.

I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

Favoring abolishing state pensions for public employees purely based on my interaction with retired NYC workers.

The fact that our taxes are paying these people 6 figure retirements while they embrace fascism and destroy government services for everyone else is suboptimal.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

The Supreme Court is on the ballot!
"You're just trying to scare me into voting for you."
Yes. The idea of Trump picking a majority of Supreme Court justices should scare the crap out of you.
"That is crass manipulation."
OK.
"And I wont fall for it."
What?
"You are a monster for trying to make me."

Oops Al Gore wasn’t the same as W Bush. We were worth. Hey how about we do the same thing again in 2016. And then 2024?

What’s funny about the RBG caused this argument is Roberts literally gutted the VRA starting in 2013 while RBG was literally sitting and voting as a liberal vote on the court.

Man, I love JB.

@timmiller.bsky.social you have the best guests.

Let’s hope. I think R’s may pay more attention to actual midterms but also we have an additional year of Trump getting unpopular and messing things up.

Remember - this was a ballot Gallego won a pretty comfortable victory on. So to from from statewide a potentially D+3 electorate (yes I know he had crossover votes) and built 14 on top of that.

Cooking with gas?

Bibi despised Obama. Try again.

And I commend you for that. My point is “full of themselves and playing to the media” is probably pretty common among politicians. My local rep is the exact same!

I mean holding up a black kid at gunpoint isn’t terribly progressive either. It was clear he was a bad egg.

What you find annoying is I’m asking in depth follow up questions which you don’t have a good answer to because you all made a terrible judgment call and are refusing to learn from it.
