Congrats to kicking the Tories in the nethers, UKians! 👍 After the celebrations, please remember, Labours positions in regard to vulnerable groups is not much better. Listen to their concerns and support them, not politicians.

I firmly believe it is ALWAYS worth flooding the zone with reminders of how Trump is a convicted felon pedophile rapist who pees on people. That is how the GOP plays the game. We should too.
Do they really matter at this point? His cult don't care and the rest of us loathe Trump with or without the tapes.

A recent poll puts the LibDems at just 3 seats behind the Tories. 3 seats! Check the tactical voting sites. And if you’re in a constituency where the LibDems have the best chance of beating the Tories - vote LibDem. Imagine a Labour government with a LibDem opposition. What a game changer!

Stop making jokes and recognize that your account on a microblogging site known by 4% of the American population and whose most famous user is Weird Al Yankovich could single-handedly win or lose this election

everyone online: Okay so here's what we do, we invoke the 25th amendment and add 6 Justices to Supreme Court, and if we can convince 5 senators to run the Constitutional Protocol, the actual government: Starting in 2026 if you make under $40,000 a year the Space Force will use you for fuel

Latest CNN polling: Republicans think Trump should be immune for his official acts. But with a generic president (i.e. no named attached), Republicans don't think the president should be immune from prosecution. No point arguing rationally with them. They just want to win at any cost.

I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).

Biden is a old doddering candidate, the time to address that was 2020 Harris has bad political instincts and would struggle to win, the time to address that was 2020 There’s no direction in 2024 for Dems without the names Biden and Harris that results in them not doing worse than Biden or Harris
National pundits are doing their level best to manifest a world in which Kamala Harris does not exist

anyway I can’t think of any way that unceremoniously ejecting the incumbent Dem president from the ticket, four months before the election, with no agreement on a successor, no process to pick one, and most people pushing the idea assuming it WON’T be the vice presidents, could possibly backfire

Biden's age is just a stand-in for whatever criticism would be lobbed against another Dem. Making them younger would only shift the issue. I was just thinking earlier today how Dems ran a veteran in 2004 while war was the main issue, and the GOP successfully smeared him *for winning war medals*.
