Do people just not remember Jarjar? People didn't hate on the prequels for being about a corrupt political system, they were bad as movies with plenty of problematic material in 'em.

George Lucas in 1999 making a movie about how the senate and Supreme Court are hopelessly corrupt:

"at this point, democrats probably realize that Trump is going to just win in November" is an absolutely disqualifying statement for any pundit. Like how the polls showed a massive red wave in 22? Lethal admixture of doomerism and stupidity.

If for no other reason, turn out to vote to spite the “men who have never done anything but sniff their own farts” club.

For real though, my father's semi-retirement gig is the director of a VA hospital. He needs to be paying attention and take off the rose colored glasses if he ends up on the list.

This means that on July 4, the day this country reserves to commemorate its founding as a pluralistic democracy, the NYT ran an op-ed by a conservative activist telling people not to bother voting (unlike him) and this article celebrating a reenactment of the Aryan Nations' resettlement scheme.

About 40 years ago white conservatives tried to establish a community outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho characterized by Christian values, large families, and fewer immigrants, just like Skyler Kressin in this profile the NYT ran on July 4. Back then, they called their community the Aryan Nations.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

Shit - really? I remember back in 2021, NYT reported (maybe here - I won't subscribe) a Biden official telling a Black-run voting org the admin was backburnering election reform because they thought the groups could out-organize GOP suppression. Jaw met floor. I hoped they had changed; I guess not.

Voting rights groups press for a more aggressive response to G.O.P. restrictions. (Published 2021)www.nytimes.com Dozens of groups criticized what they see as a misguided White House strategy that focuses on organizing instead of federal legislation.

Trump can say whatever he wants, but Agenda 47 is published on his website and is the lite version of Project 2025. It’s journalistic malpractice not to ask him about either.

Seems like "what parts of Project 2025 do you disagree with?" or "what parts of it are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal?" would be good questions for a reporter to ask the other elderly presidential candidate, but what do I know. on.ft.com/4ePQH0e

I dunno, this seems like it is a relevant story to pursue and surface if we are REALLY debating presidential fitness through anonymously sourced news stories, only this isn’t anonymous. There’s a reason this has been ignored by the Post/NYT/etc. for the last four days and it’s isn’t civic virtue.

Ok, now it's our turn. I know most Americans aren't paying attention to this but they damn well better. Sometimes you just have to do things because there is NO other choice. This should be the only message from the dems.

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.

I kept looking for the clown.

Better yet let the polls galvanize you to action rather than discourage you. It's not over.

WE CAN WIN. You don't have to believe the polls. You DO NOT have to give up. Show up. Vote. Both the UK and France far right thought they'd win handily. Both were BURIED. Let's bury it here too.

Don't have heroes in media. They are all surviving under capitalism. They will eventually "buy in"

Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

I hope the 2022 midterms were a good indicator of where this election cycle is headed.

France out here proving that actually you can tell the far right to go to hell even when it looks like they’re on track for a big victory are we going to let ourselves be shown up by the French?

French exit poll news and which seems a good sign

Replace "paramedics" with "A judge" maybe...

Words to live by.

France remains an option. FWIW I found a little cafe for sale in Nord for less than $100k...

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.
