lot of people in the replies to this effectively saying "the centrist Dem pushback against zohran didn't happen"
which is pretty much what I expect from bluesky libs, anything to pretend they haven't been left punching for years

quick question, was the obligation universal when "blue" was zohran
because there sure were a lot of people who go on about "no matter who" that suddenly found a high line they couldn't cross

basically the entire line on this from the center is "no, your vote really *does* matter" against a backdrop of shit getting worse because the people who were voted for by the center are obviously putting their thumbs on the scale
The left attacks create a permission structure for non-voters. “Eh, they’re all the same anyway.” Same thing happened in 2000. It contributes to the miasmatic discontent with candidates that drives low-info voters to make terrible choices.
At least half of Stein's votes weren't gettable, they were gonna go third party regardless. So that's not enough. And non-voters are overwhelmingly people who are less engaged in politics, they aren't ideological hardliners abstaining for that reason in any substantial numbers.

"like what" still top ten disarming questions of all time
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Hey y'all, one of our cars has been out for weeks, between getting both of us to work, getting our kiddo to school, etc, having just one car has been very difficult. I've taken a lot of financial hits the past few weeks & I need help.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

I honestly did start this conversation thinking you were someone with a legitimate different point of view. But you're just using the same shitty online troll rhetorical tactics we've all seen a million times. It's depressing, to be honest. Muting this now; I only block if people get abusive.

The aggregation of 22 separate federal agencies, most of which had nothing to do with each other, into DHS was the second most corrosive post-9/11 action taken (after the passing of the PATRIOT Act) and I will die on that hill
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too

Bovino out is a great indicator. It’s a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. It’s still abolish ICE. It’s still prosecute these fascists. It’s still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.
