Cool! Cool. Cool, cool, cool. What viable candidates are y’all running to replace them? How are they polling? Do they have ballot access? Are they well funded enough to get their message out? Just pissing and moaning does not a plane make. What. Is. Your. Plan?

You’re saying “propaganda” like it’s some universally bad thing. It’s only bad in the third person: Their propaganda. In the first person, the same drawings become Our Publicity. So you don’t like Gavin. Truth be told, neither do I. But his social media team is 🔥!

The folks who just couldn’t find it in themselves to pull the lever for the antifascist candidate because VP Harris wasn’t anti-Zionist enough is what immediately comes to mind when I think of a Democratic purity test.

I didn’t mean to imply that communism was bad. In fact, whenever I have a seance with one on the members of Stalin’s purges, they always tell me how great communism was and how much they regret not living longer to experience more of it!

Democratic purity tests in 24 are one of the reasons we are where we are right now as a country. In the meantime, please let us appreciate the incredible skill at trolling Gavin’s media team has. Thanking you in advance.

I’m not going to vote for Gavin in the Democratic primaries, (which MY state at least is going to have), as he is a tool. UNLESS, Gavin actually wins the Dem nomination, because I am going BALLS OUT campaigning for the Democratic candidate in whatever semblance of an election exists in 26 and 28!

In a way Joe only had two jobs as the 46th President. Get DJT out of office and KEEP him out. Having succeeded in the first job, he failed in the second.
matthew-goolsby.bsky.social (@matthew-goolsby.bsky.social) reply parent
Yup, Joe and his team of advisors f-ed the nation pretty good! I thought he was a pretty good President up until the point he decided to run for a second term.
matthew-goolsby.bsky.social (@matthew-goolsby.bsky.social) reply parent
Or, rather, someone with access to the President’s social media accounts said in a social media post… At this point, I wouldn’t trust any Trump statement that wasn’t Trump speaking on videotape while holding today’s Washington Post.

Both sides of the debate agree that what Trump did/is continuing to do is bad. But rather than joining forces to stop it, they appear to believe that it’s much more important/pressing to fight amongst themselves to define terms instead. Dunno, could be important, but no one has yet convinced me…
