Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

Long past time for such a demand, but the second best time is now.
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

This is a silly thread for many reasons, but right out of the gate: Which leftists? The ones who voted for Jill Stein? The ones who pooh-poohed resist libs as histrionic when they called Trump a fascist? Which liberals? The ones who demanded Court expansion and speedy prosecution of Trump?
this is the most frustrating part: the left was 100% correct. the libs were 100% wrong. the libs need to listen to the adults in the room.
this video shows where the median voters are rn, and yet liberals on here invested in attacking the left are simply refusing to acknowledge why most people hate the republicans but also are angry at the dems as well for their inaction against the republicans.

As others are also noting, this is almost obscene in its wild inadequacy to the moment.
You're the former POTUS. Get to MSP, with your buddies George & Bill, & call for the fascism to end, ICE leaders to go to jail, & for Trump to be immediately impeached & removed. And then do it every day after.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I am going to be honest that if you aren’t sure whether or not it would be good if the fascists kill a prominent anti-fascist activist with whom you have developed an inscrutable parasocial antagonism, I really doubt the sincerity of your commitment to leftism or anti-fascism

I think there's a legitimate social identity of despair in social media where you basically need to constantly perform (already existing but in a lesser form) despair in order to reaffirm yourself as part of the group
half the userbase of this website is addicted to the dopamine hit that comes with "all is loss" bad news. they want to spiral out and resent you when you tell them something tethered to reality.

This is an answer nobody would ever accept from a democrat. A democrat who gave this answer would be ruthlessly mocked until the end of time. Yet Trump and Republicans get away with it without so much as a follow-up.
Q: Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums?
TRUMP: It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before

If you want better policy, elect more Democrats. Every race, every year, every place. This dumbass solution is the only one that works.
The advanced version is "also, elect better Dems whenever you can". It requires holding two ideas in your head at the same time so many struggle with it

The VA senate got to these today, and all passed as expected
Abortion rights: 21-18
Post-incarceration voting rights: 21-18
Gay marriage: 26-13
Redistricting: 21-18
April 21st is the first eligible Tuesday, so that’s my guess for referendum EDay

the four VA constitutional amendments passed the HoD
Abortion rights: 64-34
Post-incarceration voting rights: 65-33
Gay marriage: 67-31
Redistricting: 62-33-1
Think the earliest referendum Election Day would be April 21, so early voting would start in early March

I’m a longtime believer in reclaiming the Gadsden flag and now is really an ideal time.
So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

"he's gonna cancel midterms!" is one of the most annoyingly sticky doomerist positions on this site that seems completely impervious to logic
Folks, Trump has brought the full force of ICE to bear on a mid-sized city and he can't even stop the demonstrations there. He's not going to be able to cancel the midterm elections by fiat or station his goons outside more than a handful of polling places.
