I wish the Democrats understood that

DSA isn’t running a presidential candidate, and nowhere in this message is a call to vote for one

Too bad he’s bad at doing even that

Tbh I’m skeptical that this is a demographic that exists in any meaningful capacity.

I hope I’m wrong on this…

Yes, I have family this deep in the cult

To Trump supporters, this sound like “The deep state doesn’t want Trump to be president”. Messaging like this reinforces their narratives

While i think that’s true to an extent, I’m not convinced that the pressure within a state to encourage campaigning will overcome the establishment party’s desire for power.

I would love to be proven wrong on this though

For context, I say this as a citizen of a very, very GOP dominated state. I really can’t see us joining the compact and then maintaining that in any hypothetical near-future political environment where any non-republucian wins the popular vote, and gains our electors through the compact.

Too little, too late, buddy.

Maybe if your administration has made that a priority sometime in the last 4 years we might have something, but calling for it now that he’s ahead in the election is completely meaningless

Let’s say it gets passed in enough states to matter and there’s an election where it changes the result. In every state where the loser would have gotten the votes of that state, but didn’t, there will be an immediate campaign to withdrawal from the pact, and it will get popular support within that state.

I don’t think it’s possible for the napovointerco to ever effect more than one election.

Only if you’re the fool who’s listening to what’s actually being said. If you understand that politics is about projecting confidence and steadfastness to your positions, no matter how contradictory they seem, then that’s what success looks like, and a lot of people will just accept that.

Really though, the interview highlighted serious flaws in Harris’ campaign, interview was 100% correct to call her out for using “a new path forward” as her campaign slogan while fully toeing the line when it comes to Biden’s administration so far.

Germany isn’t sending their best

One of the interesting things to come out of Bob Altimeyer’s research on authoritarians (rather, the people who support authoritarian regime) is that they typically support creating an out-group, even when they would be a part of that group

The border “crisis” is the perfect example of this: biden’s policy on the Mexican border would make w blush.

Alright, that’s what I’m looking for, thanks!

Sure, but what’s the quid?

Genuinely, they don’t really seem to have much in common beyond being ideologically fascist, and if that’s what it is, that’s what should be discussed

Has musk even paid anything?

There was that time he said he’d donate to a pac, and then didn’t.

Is this just because he owns Twitter and has a bunch of the same followers as trump? If so, does trump really think people would pick musk over him?

Genuinely this dynamic is really confusing to me.

I guess the only explanation I can think of is that Trump was always a stooge for the billionaires, and Elon has appointed himself their representative

Jokes aside, I’m talking about this monstrous stunt from DeSantis from a few years ago:

Apparently it wasn’t a bus, my bad.

I see nothing in the bill about that second part

I hear sometimes there’s buses to Martha’s vineyard

That’s the intended effect here.

Die or leave, either way they can pretend the problem’s been solved
