I'm glad it seems that many democrats are quitting their Gatekeeping bullshit with AOC.

So frustrating to see people so concerned about the perception of some strawman caricature the right manufacture for our best fighters that we turn on our own. If it wasn't obvious, they attack her so relentlessly because they fear her and know her potential more some of our own.

36 hours of work through the weekend. I'll try to sneak my guitar when it's slow and organize my To-Do list that's a mile long.

Realistically I'll probably just doomscroll and get into political arguments...

It's worth noting that psychopaths aren't deterred by shame or guilt, and usually the truth takes too long to explain to the masses...

... But mockery, humiliation, embarrassment really get to these folks because they have excessive vanity and self-esteem issues.

Remember when Putin banned images of him as a gay clown?

Honestly, right-wing media domination is so strong that we could resurrect George Washington, merge his DNA with Reagan's corpse, then conjoin that with Trump's head and call him GigaTrump and Republicans wouldn't vote for him because of the (D).

Yeah you're probably not far off. Similarly, I held my nose and voted for her as well. She was obviously the better choice, if only because her legacy was tied to a platform that at least on paper was significantly better than the alternative (e.g., climate change).

Alas I raise Hillary because of the double-standards of her buttery males versus this which is infinitely worse — yet, naturally, not a peep from conservative circles.

Because we know they're hypocrites and ends justify means to them.

It truly is the most deep statey info warrior bowling Greene lizard people pizza gate conspiracy that I've ever seen.

Yet, nothing. lol.

Somewhere, Hillary Clinton is laughing.

B-bu-but grandstanding uncommitted Jill Steiners told me not to worry and they're all the same though!!?

OpenSecrets, 02/06/2024 - "TurboTax maker Intuit spent millions in record lobbying blitz amid threats to tax prep industry"

This is the great sell-off of America. Anyone who knows what happened to Russia over the course of the 2000s know what's coming is not good.

It's almost like they're not being fiscally responsible conservatives or something...

You do you. A lot of people here are probably bullshitting themselves; and honestly, leaving will only exacerbate the problem of media silos. They want to take over Reddit and turn it into another X when there it still has a massive Anti-Trump presence, evidently by this sub getting temp-banned.

Unpopular opinion but I'm not opposed to this.

When you're at war, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Some members of the "Billionaire" class just the same helped fund the Allied War Machine to defeat Nazis, and so too can we choose our allies. Buffett and Gates are certainly better than Musk or Thiel; and so if Billionaires wish to support Harris over Trump, for instance, then I'm all for it.

• Money = Speech (Thanks to Republican courts)
• If you don't utilize the money from billionaires and SuperPACs, then you are limiting your capacity to spread your message in media silos.
• This is extremely dangerous when the media landscape is already stacked so hard against you and Republicans largely control the narrative.

Put another way: the choice between Harris and Trump should've already been a no-brainer; the fact that it wasn't is proven by the conservative control of media. There wasn't a single policy that Harris wasn't significantly better on.

I'm something like a Nordic model democrat and I would probably do the same given the circumstances of the media playing field.

Shocking surprise that the deep state was the GOP all along.

More wHataBoUTiSm from another .ml account.

Again, just shocked. Tu quoque fallacy at its finest.

mUH wHataBoUTiSm. I'm shocked this user is from .ml

Shocked, I tell you.

I appreciate your mom. My old man is a crass Appalachian boomer and speaks in a similar tone and diction with respect to Trump.

As an American, I'm rooting for Canada.

But this all feels very by design of Putin to fracture US alliances.

I mean Jesus... Michael Flynn and Mike Johnson are openly Christian Nationalists. These people are fucked in the head.

Internet censorship will be next.

Putin told his puppets to purge everything and cripple America. Drain every agency of experienced public service members, then either sell off the institutions or backfill with incompetent albeit loyal nazi party members.

Sadly true. Rule of Law, Checks & Balances, etc. They're all completely meaningless now. There's not even a veiled notion of adherence. The Supreme Court can and will twist words to justify anything as they wipe their asses with the Constitution.
