GB and FR have both shown that with planning and coordination the right loses. They will never have the raw numbers. Rehashing elections because you don't like the outcome is a dumb playbook. Suck it up and do the work for the next cycle. When tradition says it's actually contested.

Fucking Theissen. The pundit class is a plague.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

Our latest investigation uncovered a disinformation campaign targeting France's snap elections, using AI-generated content to manipulate voter opinions. The operation, CopyCop, used large language models (LLMs) to create fake news outlets with a conservative bias against President Macron. Read more:

The lesson from France is that sometimes you have to hold your nose to defeat fascism. You can't beat it with your own ideological purity.

Damn. Imagine voting strategically to prevent the worst possible outcomes…

Le Pen's party (RN) got 143 seats. While a record, that's far (very far) from the 289 they hoped for to govern. How?! Hundreds of Left & Macronist candidates dropped out to help each other block the RN. And millions of voters then voted strategically to get that job done.

As American as it gets.

“returning the consequentiality to sex” “restoring sex to its true purpose” Statements dreamed up by women who have never had an orgasm and men who have never brought a woman to orgasm. None of these people want to ban donuts, saying “food is for nutrition.”

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

How the US didn't score ten goals on this Panamanian goalkeeper is baffling. Dude's just handing them out like Halloween candy. Anyways, fire Gregg.

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

Pay attention to how reproductive rights have been stripped, and how no-fault divorce is the next target. Criminalizing sleeping in your car, in a tent, or the street *will* cause people to stay in abusive relationships and risk their lives. ALL of this is interlinked.

Not only will it hurt the ever-growing long-term unemployed and underemployed who can’t afford rising rents, But this will also disproportionately hurt DV and child abuse survivors. People WILL die because of this complete cruelty.

These proposed changes to VA benefits could, theoretically, impoverish my family. We definately couldn’t continue to live in Massachusetts without these benefits. Child care costs if I’m forced to go back to work would be higher than any pay I made with no college degree and an eight year work gap

Suprise: unwashed fascist ghoul Matthew Walther - who wrote a column that the New York Times just published advising Americans not to vote - did in fact vote in 2020 and 2022. It’s time for us to stop tolerating these ratfucking liars.
