This shouldn’t be a hard election to win if they just keep hammering Trump. I mean Jesus, SCOTUS wants to wave a wand and unmarry 70,000 American citizens. They want little girls to birth their rapists’ babies. Sound the alarm and don’t fucking stop.

just a moment to reflect that "anchor baby" is such a poisonously racist/white nationalist term the neo-fascist right has introduced into their lexicon, its proliferation threatens the very basis of *birthright citizenship*. the kind of face-eating leopard mischief sure to backfire on its proponents

They’re already doing the birtherism again. Lol

If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

☝️😀💡 "blitz primary" but it's US marshal squads kicking the doors in on Trump & every J6 caucuser who retweeted "stop the steal" & voted against 2020 election certification to haul them off to jail

This is hilarious. In his defense, though, it makes no sense to most people that Trump is still a free man if he actually committed those crimes. We heard it on the Georgia phone recording! But we aren't willing to make him pay for it. So it must not be a crime.

Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

Post 9/11 thread for people to post the wildest shit they remember from 01 to 06 I'll start: People thought Osama had an entire mountain hollowed out that he was using as his base and that's why AQ was hard to find and that somehow a group of like 30 dudes arranged this.

The demands for a "blitz primary" aren't serious suggestions, they're designed to set the table for delegitimizing Kamala Harris if Biden were to step aside for her

Things seem bleak but it’s probably a bad sign for Republicans that people have started mentioning their actual goals and political blueprint and their response is “how fucking dare you??”

i used to really like people architecture-posting (esp Chicago/midwest-centric) on twitter, before its nazi-zombie demise. more of this, please

The Kiwi, a distinctive late midcentury condo complex just outside Chicago in Evergreen Park, completed in 1967. Commissioned by local builder Carl Stocklose, the condos were advertised with the tagline "Want to live luxuriously?". The curving balconies recall prewar Streamline Moderne architecture.

what i get from this above all, with the reliance on megacelebrity spox to sell a risky & unprecedented "plan" for the nomination contest, is an incipient royalism. some liberals seem to really want a king or queen, much as cons crave a strongman, so long as they're ✨️glamorous✨️

look - I'm receptive to both "no, it's gotta be him" arguments and "he's gotta step aside" arguments. not to be wishy-washy but both arguments have merit. "then we do a tourney" is OTOH flatly hilarious. yeah that'll go great. there will much much unity in the wake of the electoral deathmatch

To save democracy, the Democratic party may resort to deploying the greatest concept of all time: a political version of the NBA In-Season Tournament

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Have you all noticed how whenever we (progressives, leftists) speak up about a fairly pragmatic solution to a scenario, we are called unrealistic, unserious and then these liberals start telling us to take a civics class

it’s a LITTLE LATE to start complaining that the media holds Trump to a different standard than Biden. Like, babe, you’ve been expressly haranguing us about this very tendency when we say “yeah he should be removed from those ballots, yeah he should be locked up”

and we teeter on the precipice of disaster, I have a thought: the American centrist liberal is collapsing due to decades of broken promises. Whether we all die now or if we die in a few years, their system is doomed. Point your thoughts toward progressive solutions and a true future.

every remedy that the left has EVER suggested, advocated or asked about has been roundly rejected and scoffed at. Turns out that liberals only only only want voting. The liberals are LYING if they ever say that they will back you up if you ask for any other legal avenue besides VOTING

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.

Federal food assistance is paid for by federal tax money. These guys are keeping their citizens from getting benefits paid for *with their own taxes*

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Oprah foisted Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz on us and played a pretty major part in building JD Vance's public profile. I've never heard of the person who wrote this before, and I want to make it clear that I don't mean this flippantly - the person who wrote this is phenomenally ignorant.

Everything else aside, can I just say how freaking jealous I am that they announced elections, held "primaries," and elected their government all in a MONTH. Our goddamn presidential campaigns have been going on for almost TWO YEARS.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.
