The USA is captured by small-dick energy. Small-dick energy has led us to fascism. I would think that easy to overcome, but I am biased in that regard.
Win primaries to move the Democrats left, then win generals with Democrats to move the country left. If you think you will get what you want by letting Republicans win, you are wrong. Trump is a cancer killing our country.

As a Midwest small town rural kid, I can absolutely assure you that white men who have hardly ever met a black person in their lives are consumed by thinking about them 24/7, seething in anger. And then they'll be nice when they meet an actual black person because they're "a good one."
"Both sides" pays the bills.
I've never understood how a single farmer could ever vote Republican, much less Trump. Trump has done immense harm to American farmers and isn't close to being done.
Never heard of a pro-cancer president before.
CNN dreams of a "reasonable conservative voice" but at the end of the day he can't help being Erick Erickson, hack extraordinaire.
A moron bully who has no idea what is in the Constitution, nor does he know the history of it, and has respect for neither. All he knows is his bottomless need for ego gratification.
People are going to die, and this smug fuck is trolling.
It's always a mistake to think Erick Erickson could become respectable. He will always be a hack and can never be better.
Trump loves cancer? It's hard to conclude otherwise.
Holy cow, Johnson said something true.
Republicans are the Confederate Party.
He didn't just take the power of the purse from Congress. They gleefully handed it to him.
You're Trump's best PR agent.
Well, she was completely frickin useless, nothing but a mindless Trump stooge who ushered in fascism.
All this man wants is Christian Dominionism over this country and the world. He will tell any lie to achieve it.
Can anyone cite evidence of Mike Johnson ever saying *anything* that is true?
Such a constant weasel.
The "we remember" is a particularly stunning tell. Yes, Mike Johnson, we know you memory-hole school shootings.
It is not, in fact, a common denominator at all and statistically amounts to nearly zero.
Mike Johnson is a truly vile excuse for a human being.
The fucking prostrations...
He would love to see her attacked or murdered.
No, she doesn't. She's just searching for something her dumbest listeners will nod and go "yup!" at.
Heroes.
Shows how little they mean the "just comply with officers!" shtick they throw at black people.
Disgraceful, but when you elect a traitor, traitors get honored.
Nothing out of this woman's mouth is true or important except for being a lie.
Statistically, trans school shooters are virtually zero and far lesser as a proportion of their numbers than white cis males. But par for the course for MAGA scumbags who can't do math.
Lotta pieces of shit who don't want to do anything about school shootings who also hate trans people trying to exploit this one particular shooting for their agenda, when it's the white male demographic who are responsible for almost all school shootings.
Science vs morons with power.
Pretty nice treatment for a violent insurrectionist attacking the Capitol over Trump's stupid selfish lie.
Because she stood up for science against a conspiracy kook with brain worms hired by an idiot.
One of the more depressing features of the past decade has been seeing how quickly and easily the right abandoned the genuinely good principles it once pretended to care about. Free trade; federalism; free speech. They jettissoned everything they had a point about & kept all the loathesome bits.
Dementia.
Narrator: He had no idea what was in the CHIPS Act, only that Joe Biden signed it.
The thing is he said this before 2024, and we're so fucking stupid we elected him anyway.
The phenomenon of people joining up with those who wish to destroy them is something I wish would go away. People of color, all kinds of queer folks, women...stop joining these people they're coming directly for you! They laugh at your stupidity and will gladly use you to destroy you.
V for Vendetta summed up this guy pretty well. He'll embrace fascism as long as he's getting a paycheck.

He hates black people in general, but strong intelligent black women who oppose him *really* drive him crazy.
Press: No, we are totally planning to keep pretending that. Bothsides pays the bills.
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout. Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/
Remember, kids, Republicans are always bullshitting!
Ah but what if you had to poop on the pope? This is silly.
I do not want you to perceive me as being hostile here, but I have no desire to intrude into anyone's DMs. That said, if you initiate something, I will respectfully respond.
"them"
Oh no, not everyone. Just the ones doing it.
He is employing the aesthetics as satire. Very effective satire that is driving Republicans crazy.
Yeah, they probably don't see Newsom as a fascist. Opposing Trump, the architect of our current fascist state, is pretty important when it comes to earning the anti-fascist label. I think that podcast was a really bad idea, and this current approach is a fantastic one.
Trans existence? When did I debate that?
Yeah, I'm on a lot of lists, whoopty ding dong. I see a lot of anti-fascist Democrats on those lists too. It's pretty easy to get on them, all you have to do is question a trans person on pretty much anything and voila, you're on lists. Usually it boils down to me saying vote Dem in the general.
We agree that a trans kid should have access to care. But then it gets ramped up to "those who disagree want me dead and are the same as Nazis!" And now you're at, "if you don't think they are, you're one too!" That's all very debatable.
Political strategy is debatable, words are debatable. Most of your yelling has little to do with what I've actually said.
Ok, you're a useless troll.
Really? If they disagreed with something, they'd feel they could voice dissent and not get blasted?
I dunno, I guess if you were as bright as you seem to think you are, you could offer something better than calling me stupid over and over again.
TS, obviously.
That cleared things up.
Sure, but my defensiveness comes from behavior that tends to flare up around general election time. That said, I'd like Newsom to adjust his positions on trans issues before the primary.
Whoops, told you it was a habit. My bad.
I asked them to enlighten me.
Yes, I agree there is a basis for defensiveness, because you so often are being attacked. And I'll concede I'm defensive about the left shooting down Dems harder than they do Republicans and helping Republicans win and ultimately hurting the people they're fighting for.
This is correct.
Analogies can shed light. Or obfuscate.
Disappointed, really.
I just said we probably share most of those principles, so of course it wouldn't be inherently bad. You're pretty respectful in your disagreement, and I thank you for that. But I know that if I ever open my mouth to disagree, I'm going to be blasted as transphobic, blocked, put on lists, etc.
If I had a basic grasp of English, you calling me stupid would have cleared everything up?
Dude I'm just chilling on my sofa replying to people.
You would claim you have no principles about trans issues that you regard as incontrovertibly true? Because the entire discussion sure seems like you do. Note: we probably agree on most of it.
Gosh that cleared everything up.
Haven't seen why I should not call it that, thanks.
Which I did, thanks.
So I violated the dogma that "they" is transphobic and misgendering? And then questioned it.
I support gender care for trans kids though.
Oh I think this discussion very much proves the existence of trans bubbles and dogma. It can happen to any group, you aren't exceptional, you're just human beings too. And those can be good for establishing community and culture. But wanting to never be questioned is harmful.
I got it once explained, thanks that wasn't my point.
I support trans healthcare for kids though, that's why my cousin came up. I question all dogma, thanks.
I don't think it's that irrational to say I perceived "they" as a neutral word that generally skirts gender, which is why it initially struck me as incongruous to claim it misgenders. I believed it didn't gender at all. The rise of nonbinary people does fuel this somewhat, no?
Well when you sit in your own kewl kidz bubble online, don't be too terribly surprised when others don't know all the rules you're coming up with. Or call them all transphobic I guess and see how that works out.
But you need their votes. I'm anti-fascist, thanks.
Once again, I have said I understand how it can be seen as an insult. But that people who unintentionally insult shouldn't just be smeared as vile bigots.
Ooh you're getting so close to understanding why I used it once talking about my cousin. Because I was treating her like any other person.
Or you could go with what I actually said, which is that I know people do use "they," however technically incorrect, to refer to gender-known folks, because I've heard them use it.
Nobody would ever think I was denying Bob was a cis man. In my entire life, if someone wanted to misgender a cis person, they would refer to them with their opposite pronouns. Calling a boy a girl and vice versa. Or "it," perhaps some others. If I say, "they're such a stinker" nobody would blink.
I appreciate your education and experience, although you have not convinced me that nobody uses "they" for a person whose gender is known because in my experience, people do.
No, I can understand that even though I've used the term for anyone in the past, it could be perceived as a denial of pronouns to a trans person, and that that isn't a concern for cis people. If I referred to cis Bob with a "they" in the past, no one thought anything of it and neither did I.
But you believe it in reference to cis people too, I am saying.
Or Soviet Russia, decades of East Germany vs West Germany, North Korea vs South Korea. You are making massive assumptions based on absolutely nothing. Commies can get fucked and if you are a commie, you can too.
You being a trans woman again has nothing to do with it. That's another perfect example of your dishonesty, and that's why you can fuck off.
Ok, at least you sound more consistent now. You believe using "they" in any instance where a person's gender is known is misgendering and therefore bad. Whereas before today I only believed denying pronouns was the insult.
Don't be stupid. Democratic socialists are great.
I've said before I've never met an intellectually honest commie, and you prove me right again. I have of course never said trans people can fuck off, but you most certainly can fuck off.
Oh no, authoritarian communist countries did most of the work there, not the CIA.
No, I think he's a democratic socialist, and they're great.
What it means is that if someone uses "they" but then also uses the she/her then they're probably not a transphobe. Probably less so when they're referring to a trans cousin who they supported as trans from age 5. I said I can see how it could be a slight and will be more cautious in the future.
By that logic anyone called "they" is then being misgendered whether trans or cis.
...he says as the debate goes into the third day. No, bro, commies can just fuck off.
