Anyone with 2 brain cells knows:
1. Fetterman was the "progressive" choice because of his faux working class facade. Leftists smeared Lamb and got what they wanted. Vote Blue No Matter Who has no effect on a primary. Everyone is blue!
2. As much as he sucks, Fetterman is still better than Dr. Oz.

This shit right here is why I'll always push back when people try to claim Billy is smart.
Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows that "Vote Blue No Matter Who" was a poorly thought out campaign that resulted in bad actors like Fetterman being elected overtop actual progressives.

When you say "vote blue no matter who" these guys always say "oh ho ho, but what if it was Lina Khan, would you vote blue THEN?"
And the answer is "yes"? Very obviously? Was "vote blue no matter who" unclear?

Hasan Abi doesn't even sincerely believe in any of the politics he spouts. I don't know why people can't see that. He's just like his lovely unkie Cenk- just a vacuous well of egocentric conspiracy theories he passes off as a politic.
Hasan isn’t going to vote for any Democrat in 2028. It has nothing to do with Newsom.

Especially from people with a track record of being (in the kindest construction) indifferent between liberalism and fascism at the ballot box, “you have to earn my vote” means “my vote cannot be earned”

This app exists to enable leftists to gaslight themselves into believing outright lies about the Democratic Party.
They then block anyone who pushes back on those lies, creating a hermetically sealed misinformation bubble.

They have the equation exactly backwards.
In a democracy it is the voter who has the responsibility to determine the overall balance of power.
That's the whole point.
The individual politician isn't a waiter bringing you an ice cream sundae for your birthday + it must be JUST SO or you send it back.

After careful reflection I have decided that actually, yes, Americans should expect candidates to work their nips if they want their votes.

When there's only 2 choices, if you continue to pretend that you're a very special person that needs to be personally courted - rather than someone with agency making an adult decision to participate in society - you suck. Voting is something you should do no matter what.

I don't think the person who went to bat for trans rights, spoke at the UN on Climate change, and expanded abortion rights in the state is some kind of conservative.

Honestly? Texas.
They may not always have the right vocabulary but it seems like most of them are happy to live and let live as long as you don't trespass on their land.
Gavin Newsom, on the other hand, is a fucking snake.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In any case, most actual fighting will be done by small robots, and as you go forth today remember your duty is clear: to build and maintain those robots.
