  • I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again here. It may be in our best interest to nominate a milquetoast candidate for the presidency in 2028 and for the republicans to win it.

    That way when 2030 comes around, the house is packed with progressives, as the party in charge usually fares poorly in the midterms.

    Why all of that? Well, because the congress in 2030 gets to draw the election district maps after the 2030 census, and for the next decade, progressives could then be represented accurately.

    Now, a solid counter argument is what about the courts? And that’s valid, we likely can’t get both in the short to medium term. The best we could maybe hope for is a blue 2026 in the Senate, which could then accept judges that both the president and the senate agree upon. I think there is a case for some liberalesque populist judges to get through.

  • This is the way. Person does one thing that you don’t like, they should be excommunicated. Crush any opposition who doesn’t live up to the purity test. Doubly so if it’s a woman.

    You know who were also purists…

    It’s almost like no one in the West is going to be good enough to live up to your standards, hmm….

  • Hey my guy, I know you were just cracking a joke about teeth hair… but I just want you to know that your joke was insensitive and it really hurt my feelings.

    I have a condition and hair on my teeth is not something I can control, okay? So can we stop with the teeth hair jokes?

    Teeth hair.

  • Well for one, I think Schumer made a mistake here and if I lived in NY I’d be calling him up to tell him just that.

    But I can see his logic as to why he went the way he did. He fears a govt shutdown is only going to let the foxes eat more of the henhouse.

    I think the public would have forgave the dems and I think a shutdown would have helped raise things to the fever pitch needed to suck all of the oxygen out of the room up there. Time will tell I guess.

    If you want to make sure they’re carrying water, then we gotta be the reservoir. You gotta add your drop to the bucket and I gotta add mine. That starts by calling, funding the causes you believe in, and then getting out in the streets and being real loud.

  • This is precisely the same line of thinking that helped get the fire elected to the White House.

    It’s death by a thousand cuts.

    Not everyone who doesn’t align with you 100% is your enemy.

  • Can we please stop eating our own while the goddamn house is on fire? We’re gonna need them for the bucket brigade.

    • step 1 put out the fire
    • step 2 eat the mfers who set the house ablaze
    • step 3 eat the rich
    • step 4 tend to our own dirty laundry
  • False - these billionaires use their stock as collateral for loans. It’s all part of a tax avoidance scheme. If the stock goes down significantly, the banks come knocking.

    Both of the billionaires pictured also head their companies in some way or another. Investors can vote to throw them out. Not that they would, but even the vote of no confidence is not a good look.
