I can't believe how these people just keep inventing reasons to freak out. This is what primaries are for. I thought these folks loved a primary.

Can testify to that. I still remember when a high school friend told me he thought of me and my friends when he watched it. I was simultaneously ashamed and proud.

I think something that has been under-appreciated in this Trump death watch is that his supporters get to see how many of us will not only celebrate his death but theirs.

“But the idea is to appeal to voters.” You realize that not every voter thinks like you, right? I’m a voter and I promise that the message that works for you won’t work for me.

I’ve always found her off putting but I chalked that up to her autism. The truth is she’s not just a narcissist but also a virulent bigot.

Have you considered that not every message is meant for you? If you like what Pritzker is doing, great. He’s your leader. Why can’t you people just like who you like without using them to beat up on other Dems?

This is a big part of the problem we’re dealing with. Velshi tells himself that if people are pissed off, he’s doing his job right. The idea that his job is informing the public doesn’t even enter into the equation.

Labor Day. No mass protests. No general strike. No taking “to the streets.” Just white people continuing to abuse Black and Jewish lawmakers online while screaming #resist and #DoSomething

I think it had more to do with his wife. Clooney (and his father) have a history of being good allies to Black people and I don’t want to discount that. But once he got married, things changed.
Nefarious Means (@nefariousmeans.bsky.social) reply parent
Biden pledged to be a “transitional” president. Leftists spun that as he was promising to only serve one term. What he meant was he was going to empower Black people as much as he could then hand the White House to Harris. Imagine where we would be right now without Clooney’s op ed.

We’re going to see more of this from the leftie pundits as MSNBC becomes MSNOW.

You stepped to me. You called Dems “spineless pricks” while you hide from your GOP family. Don’t demand that elected Dems fight when you refuse to.
Nefarious Means (@nefariousmeans.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree about boundary setting but at some point you need to DO SOMETHING. You need to climb out of your comfort zone and deal with the fascists around you, esp the ones in your family and community. Y'all keep demanding leaders then when you're told what you need to do, you make excuses.

Again it doesn’t have to be about Trump. I work with secret magats. I just keep complaining about higher prices in the cafeteria and the vending machines. One of them mentioned his daughter was flying into town and I said “Oof. I hope there’s enough air traffic controllers on duty.”

A perfectly sane, humane sentiment. Unfortunately it doesn’t work in a country where half the population suffers from Medieval Peasant Brain. You can’t keep kids safe when their own parents vote to turn them into cannon fodder.
