Tiny problem, the media is CONTROLLED BY THE REPUBS!!!!!! The Dems also suck at messaging or they wouldn't have thought "Liz Cheney likes us!" was the winning strategy

If there is one thing that makes me sad in today's hopeful morning it's this: Kamala lost because a lot of people would rather vote for someone they knew was a raving lunatic than a woman/woc.
I think if Kamala had had more time to run a better campaign she might have won on the merits.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

On another note, the cats won't drink out of the water fountain, presumably bc it tastes bad. I scrub it regularly with a toothbrush but it's quite a task. But look at this lengthy suggested maintenance - it's water for cats not a space launch.
