Ah, right.

I’m an emacs user, so that’s why I didn’t remember the vi bindings accurately.

I can tell you aren’t a vi user because you would’ve remapped it to ctrl.

Ah, you mean the Poor People’s Campaign.

(Fun fact: MLK was begrudgingly tolerated as a black rights activist for several years, but then he pivoted to working class solidarity, and – bam! – assassinated. Funny, that.)

You forgot the worst one, which is “fascist wanna-be dictator.”

Remember when they demanded a hand recount, got it, and then kept lying about the results even after they were verified?

That’s the difference.

I don’t think it’s that they don’t know how to win; I think that they’re unwilling to do what is necessary (i.e. give up on neoliberalism and piss off big business donors) to win.

I know you misspelled “certainly.”

Calm down, Monsieur Mangetout; you’d have to wait for the pig to land it first.

On the contrary: every single one of them is eminently qualified… as a saboteur. Trump couldn’t pick worse people for the jobs if he were doing it on purpose, because he is doing it on purpose.

and casual conversations blending left-leaning and conservative ideas

Oh shit, it’s almost as if there are more dimensions to politics than just the single axis the Democratic Party is willing to acknowledge.

And then they wonder why they lose.

You know what other sorts of figures that sort of conversation could “normalize” for “for a disillusioned, lonely audience—particularly young men?” Left-wing populists!

But the Democrats would rather have Trump.

McBride is wrong. What’s needed is not “respect and kindness,” but instead contempt and ridicule for fascist bigots. Failing to properly ostracize them is part of how we got into this mess.

And BTW, now that the spoiled frat boy quit, who the hell is my Congressman?!

Could be you. Run for office.

That said Merrick Garland did not appoint the judge that sabotaged the case. Merrick Garland and the Democrats did not appoint the Supreme Court Justices who sabotaged the case.

The primary way the case was “sabotaged” was by granting long delays to credulously consider every bullshit motion Trump made, which ultimately resulted in Trump successfully running out the clock until he could gain power again and kill it for good.

And guess what: that was only successful ENTIRELY BECAUSE Merrick motherfucking Garland DIDN’T EVEN OPEN A GODDAMNED INVESTIGATION UNTIL A FULL YEAR AFTER THE COUP ATTEMPT, DIDN’T APPOINT SPECIAL COUNSEL UNTIL 11 MONTHS AFTER THAT, AND DIDN’T GET AN INDICTMENT UNTIL HALFWAY THROUGH 2023!!!

The fix was in from the very beginning, and it was precisely when Biden appointed a Republican stooge to slow-walk the whole godforsaken thing!

The trouble is, PACs cost money, and there’s no profit in that message. ALL the big business favors the fascists because the fascists let big business exploit the public unchecked.

That’s why big business cannot be allowed to exist in a free society.

No, it fucking wasn’t Congress’ job – at least, not just Congress’ job. It was the DOJ’s job. And guess who appoints the motherfucking Attorney General?

They didn’t vote for Trump; they simply stayed home.

Look for that group to become the main go to for anything that ‘needs taking care of’.

Or just Proud Boys and other paramilitary thugs.
