The government is already shutting down though, the point is to not give the executive branch a blank check to spend because they're ignoring the courts. But I agree for different reasons that this move serves the party interests.

Where are the guarantees that the executive branch will spend the money in the manner dictated by Congress? Leadership has lost the plot.

They FAFO but never actually learn. That's why elections are not about teaching people they were wrong.

The same people saying we can't raise the minimum wage cuz it will raise the cost of goods are somehow unable to understand this.

Lol, many of us saw this coming when you first posted here. We already know your opinion on the matter and asking us to think more on it just makes you look.... less flattering.

Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the lone Democrat.

It's not unfair for trans women to play in sports though! His answer is what I expect from someone who hasn't done their homework on the topic, which would be strange for a potential presidential candidate. I read this not as ignorance, but as a political calculation.

Did we listen to the same interview where he asked Charlie Kirk what policies they should borrow from MAGA and eventually landed on banning trans women from sports?

The hit dog yelps. The boycotts are working.

Look, you are welcome to have that conversation with non-voters (I am not one of them), but you aren't saying anything I haven't already said to them. Maybe that tactic isn't working?

A lot of the people I could not convince to vote this round were cynical because of the pandering to the racists and billionaires. Appealing to the worse demotivates any base of people who have rectitude, if this was not the case, then the party would not represent a lesser evil.

Then what's stopping the Democrats from banning corporate money from their primaries? Point to the bad actors.

So they would be cool to get corporate money out their primaries, right?

It should fund drones to pester billionaires to donate their money. Every time they step out in public there should be a swarm of bots broadcasting how many times they flew with Epstein. We could have comedians voice the drones and have a competition to see who does the best roast.

I voted for Harris, so I reckon my vote worked as well as yours for the Palestinians.

My point is that if I were so cynical to think we can only win by appealing to the worse in our party, then I wouldn't bother defending democracy. At that point it is not simply a matter of voting for the lesser evil, but telling your neighbors that is is okay to be a racist misogynist.

I do believe in democracy, which is why I ask for more, not less.

If I believed what you were saying, then I wouldn't even bother voting.

Sounds like the parents have decided they're too old (or she is too old) to deal with this shit

Are these the same voters who support the Palestinian genocide? At some point we have to have the courage to stand for the right thing instead of pandering to our most cynical neighbors.

The wealthy would live even longer if their wealth was redistributed to remove scarcities around public health. In this sense, Luigi is just trying to save them from themselves.

We should insist the only Elon write code for Doge because he's a million times more qualified based on his net worth.
