Democrats don’t get to decide when the votes are.

They’re both fighting for the same niche. Sort of like Lauren Boebert and MTG. The whole operation has never been a team effort, just a bunch of self-serving assholes trying to get their own grift on.

Bannon was one of the trend chasers that decided they were at the out and proud Nazi phase and followed suit. Still kind of feeling it out, but definitely not an accident.

Most Democrats I want to see doing a lot more. Not her, not Joe, and not Hilary. They can and should disappear from the public eye. They had a direct and significant role in causing all of this.

They stink of loser and ego and corruption and morass. Go away.

Because there’s no reason to write a headline that implies this is an open question. The answer is no, and implying it could be anything but no is irresponsible. Someone reading a headline alone should be told that so if that’s all they read they don’t think the answer is more complicated than that.

Italy is lead by a fascist currently. And we just tried voting the fascists into office and that only made things worse.

Holy shit. I thought this was clearly intentional propaganda targeting the very extremely dumb that would take the mistaken impression from it without any of them being on record saying the fake part, but did no one tell him?

Hard to take every seat in Congress, but if they just steal a couple dozen Democratic seats in red states that’s enough to secure control of the House and the only recourse for that is likely open insurrection.

The person you’re responding to didn’t say anything about anyone being forced to vote for anyone, much less that Palestinians should.

I didn’t nor did the vast majority of the country due to either voting blue or not living in a state where presidential votes even matter, but it’s perfectly reasonable for other nations to not trust that the United States’ broader system and political climate will be reliable in maintaining its policies and relationships.

But they also should have been more independent in the first place. We’ve been doing bad things for a while now while our Western allies just rode along because it was easier to demonstrate fealty than stand up for what was right.

The neoliberal system in the US has paved the road for something much more abhorrent, but the broader Western liberal world order is also in a rotten state. Germany, Canada, Australia, France, and the UK all have had (and generally still do have) serious risks of empowering their own fascists and few are reflecting on how to defend from and depower them. They just think that holding them off for an election means the problem is over and they can go back to the generic neoliberal policy that’s doing nothing for people and playing into right-wing talking points on debt and immigration.

Lots of Americans breathed a sigh of relief with Biden, went back to brunch, and then just accepted it as business as usual when the centrists immediately pivoted to obstruction to prevent any movement leftward. The return of The System and the status quo were our armor against Trumpism. Don’t make that same mistake.

What are you going on about? I’m not saying he should be banned from printing his ideas, I’m saying his characterizing continued Liberal rule as an unfortunate consequence of needing to stop Trump insanity is indicative that he’s still his same neocon self and hasn’t reflected on the relationship of his political work and the current climate.

It’s ok to not pretend every op-ed is a fresh expression of ideas with no context stemming from their author’s history or world view, and it’s similarly ok not to treat all world views as just curious and value neutral opinions enriching a beautiful tapestry of ideas.

David Frum has been an instrumental and active shaper of the conservative-led degeneration of American values since the Bush administration. Trump is his limit, but everything in the whole rotten project before that was fine. No, we don’t need to divorce the message from the messenger. The message itself is bad, but the messenger’s role in the while situation deserves extra criticism.

More like there isn’t an inflation surcharge, because that’s not how inflation works. Inflation is just a bunch of sellers raising their prices in general, not a defined policy.

As a USian, I’d say we won. Donald Trump isn’t even approved by a majority. His desires certainly don’t equate to the United States in general.

Oh, it’s David Frum yearning for a better time when the guy he worked for also disappeared prisoners without due process, but didn’t do anything distressing like impede free trade.

“We were dead and buried in December. Now we are going to form a government,” David Lametti, a former Liberal Justice Minister, told CTV late on Monday. “We have turned this around thanks to Mark,” he said.

Yeah, Mark did it. For sure. Everyone saw a banker as the new leader and just went wild. No other changes can explain this reversal of fortunes.

Trump isn’t the only one acting. And most of the foot soldiers were already on the job and just daydreaming about when they could really get tough. They need to be doxxed and recorded so they can be punished for their crimes one day. No “amnesty to let the nation heal” or “just doing their job”. There needs to be consequences.

Don’t leave when the cops say you can’t record them anymore! Stand your ground at least and let one of your colleagues get a picture of police roughing up a reporter. If necessary, get arrested yourself. You took a job that has an inherent role in democracy and now is the time it’s most important.

I appreciate that this “riots are part of their plan” post acknowledges that not rioting just means a bloodless coup. People keep putting this argument up like the optimal move is just continually not taking the bait under the assumption that some easy solution will eventually come to fruition, but it’s just the frog arguing for boiling itself. They’re not going to just have four years of people letting them do whatever they want and then run free and fair elections because we didn’t take the bait.

There are multiple ways to balance a budget, but the conservatives only ever want to cut services, because that’s the outcome preferred by the rich. And regardless, a minority government really shouldn’t be trying to fundamentally reshape government structure. If you want to have that level of change, win an election.

And this after the most recent election saw the left take the largest share of the votes because the neoliberals’ rule lead to gains by fascists. Elections be damned, failed governments be damned, just keep trying more neoliberalism.

Enjoy the bonus down vote for your asinine second edit proving you’re not just a stickler-for-legalism reply-guy and entirely missed the point. Is this one of those examples of conservatives approaching the world differently because they just fundamentally don’t understand the concept of empathy?
