This MAGA fascism train has been heading towards us, steadily picking up steam, since 2016. It’s astonishing to me that there are still folks who claim it’s all a mirage.

Well that explains some of it

Said law professor apparently being Barbara Ehrenreich's daughter and a career writer and academic.

What we need is another skydiving with a Christian baby hypothetical to cleanse the timeline

Hey bitches all biden needs to do is say "these 2 rich people are withholding donations, can you help me out?" Small dollar donations out the wazoo. Fuck these stupid rich ppl trying to call the shots. Democracy, not oligarchy, is the aspiration at least. Doesn't seem like they're on board

Assholes: "Abigail Disney, an heiress to the Disney family fortune, plans to withhold donations to Democrats until Joe Biden drops out. Gideon Stein said he’s decided to pause planned donations of $3.5 million." www.cnbc.com/2024/07/04/d...

Disney heiress, wealthy Democratic donors say they won't finance the party until Joe Biden drops outwww.cnbc.com President Joe Biden faces a rebellion from wealthy Democratic donors after his debate performance against Donald Trump.

Dumbest fuckin’ idea I’ve ever heard. “The proposal is work of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown law professor who served in Obama and Clinton administrations and as a volunteer policy adviser to the Biden campaign in 2020, and Ted Dintersmith, a venture capitalist…” www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

This is a really good point

If I were a right wing operative this would be the perfect time to float some false photos and reports to the media. They’re in a feeding frenzy, chances are pretty good they won’t fact check shit.

"Senate Democrats as a whole will meet Tuesday for a regularly scheduled caucus meeting." We'll see what happens. Hope to God Schumer can browbeat them into all getting on the same page, whatever page that might be

Here's the thing with puke bowls. You never think about having a dedicated puke container on standby and then next thing you know fuck I'm gonna puke!!!! I tend to do it into the toilet or the trash but I have been known to puke into a bowl we use for other stuff. It is what it is. 1/

"but but he was a 'volunteer policy advisor' for Biden!" As we professional campaigns hacks like to say, 'Titles are free' and 'volunteer policy advisor' is one of the ones in the 'Free Titles' bowl at the front desk

One of the authors of the "blitz primary" nonsense is a venture capitalist who backed Andrew Yang but yeah, he's the "Dem establishment"

If you can't bring yourself to vote for any other reason THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH!!

Do you REALLY want four years of us brits going "yeah we do eat baked beans on toast but at least our leader isn't a fascist cheeto wankjob, haha"? NO you DON'T.

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.

I don't fucking know what they should do but I do know one thing, and that is I don't appreciate wild speculation that just so happens to coincide with your preferred outcome.

"Most" Based on a discredited wapo article. Cool cool cool

I think what’s happening right now is fairly straightforward: most Democrats in Congress don’t want Biden to be the nominee. But, there is a cost to coming out before it’s a fait accompli, and no one wants to hurt Biden if he doesn’t drop. So, they’re privately opposed and deny it publicly.

At this point it's pretty clear you're ratfucking. Either that or your ego is so goddamn big you cannot ever admit you were wrong, no matter how fucking wrong you are.

It's been 28 minutes since he posted this, he's been told by multiple sources lieu denies it yet he hasn't deleted it. Wonder what's going on with that.

Max berger just flat out lies

Well far be it from max berger to be less than honest! /s

I hadn't seen this reported anywhere else and Lieu just tweeted that it's not true, just fyi,

Here we see a right wing Twitter account with 1.3 million followers being retweeted by an account with 2.5 million followers calling for conservatives to sabotage the upcoming American election. Musk, BTW, has interacted amicably with these accounts several times.

For anyone who isn't aware, Ken Klippenstein went on Steve Bannon's War Room, because there is no fascist these tankie dipshits won't cuddle up to. Truly, Putin has owned every last brain cell they possess.

klipoenstein always came across as a bit of a naive pick-me guy in the intercept cinematic universe but also always seemed like he meant well and wasn’t *this* dumb

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.

FUCK. NO.

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

I know lots of people are posting UK/France comparisons about defeating right-wing autocrats but a better comp is Poland/France. The best way to defeat that form of authoritarianism is through a liberal-left coalition that coordinates and does not undermine each other.

Left and center split the vote, far right wins. Left, liberals, centrists, and moderate conservatives ease the path for whichever of them has a better chance against the far right, the far right loses. We've seen evidence of that for a century, from Weimar Germany through France today.

What could have happened today if more candidates who came in 3rd had refused to drop out? Hint of an answer in the city of Aix. Here, the Macronist candidate refused to drop out. As a result, no front vs the far-right. Result: RN wins with 37%. Left at 36%. Macronists 27%.

2024 is the year when democracy is on the ballot, with extraordinary risks of major powers turning to authoritarianism. But in the space of the a couple of days, two of the biggest countries in Europe have moved decisively to the left. One of these was expected (UK), the other not (France).

Here's a right winger account to block. And don't fucking deny you are, otherwise why do you keep excusing wapos enabling of fascism?

How did you access that information? I did it through journalism.

Drove into New Hampshire today, and immediately saw a “Democrats Will Protect Your Reproductive Rights” billboard with an American flag and a bald eagle on it, from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). Excellent work. More of that please.
