I do not think a single voter in my district, which came inside 2 points of flipping red to blue, would be won over by “hit your kids more.” RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:xalxqffcayyidntafmptzhta/post/3mzxtgiwe4k23

I can only hope this gives Peltola another surge of support here at the end RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/post/3mynjpdbv5x25

The moral rot is top-to-bottom in the GOP. But let’s focus on the more specific issue here: Trump and his party like rape. Whether it’s child abuse or campus sexual assault, they think rape is ok. Maybe they even think it’s funny. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/post/3myicvrdfd22t

I just don’t think Liz Cheney doing a couple campaign events cost Harris the election. People who are too on here already knew if they were or weren’t going to vote for her. Normies who aren’t either too online or political junkies did not decide based on this. This is vibes and cope. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rbzy3issuaqfwgorq22z67aw/post/3ms7vvp5aj22n

The Ilhan Omar saga is a good reminder that Elon Musk has openly admitted to breaking immigration law when he first came to this country. Considering all the misdeeds he’s done since then, a future administration should definitely look at whether to strip Musk of his citizenship and deport him.

Hanania has gone out of his way to try and persuade the mainstream media types and readers he wants to woo that he is no longer a racist. I don’t buy that, but he is at least putting on *the act.* So it’s extremely telling that this is how he continues to talk about women, rape, and even Epstein.

Setting aside the dubious proposition that Hanania is *former* racist, there’s the fact that he is a *current* Epstein apologist and advocate for statutory rape. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:g6sfezz7gouikv5mexydf5nr/post/3mqzcqhnqas2d

Mao was bad. It’s insane that that’s a potentially divisive statement on this website.

“It would be quite the outcome indeed if the true long-term impact of Trumpism’s world-historical failures is to get untold numbers of Americans to give the idea of positive-sum relationships a second look.” This would be the dream! Americans have taken the benefits of free trade for granted. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2amnkge5a6hplfwyesmxqkfl/post/3muzqgrz7ec2n

Astonishing how many self-styled progressives have turned on AOC for what clearly amounts to base misogyny. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:h3ki44q6c2jrhhphbwfr7yaf/post/3mqaxbc33t22d

I’m reposting both of these today for the very obvious reason that a lot of important pols and commentators simply refused to acknowledge the obvious issues with Platner.

Wiener is dedicatedly pro-LGBTQ and has called Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide. So what is this? It sure smacks of simply unhinged rage and antisemitism RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2urhomgq5ryteqi6eignthhw/post/3mpblcgkjjs2x

Sorry but I think it’s ok to think Darializa Avila Chevalier sucks and to say so. This is not the type of person I want the Democratic Party to nominate more of.

I’m not unique in saying this, but I think the big Q now is whether Trump’s numbers with key groups can go from terrible to truly radioactive RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2amnkge5a6hplfwyesmxqkfl/post/3mmhjpxhcek2z
