made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

Mind you, these have been peaceful protests.
Residents are not the agitators here. Our neighbors are being abducted and tortured "at random" and all we can do is peacefully protest and document the movements of the terror force in our city.
Whistles and video evidence makes them feel threatened.

Children cannot consent to religious sacraments/rites/practices and should not be able to "commit" to anything within a church until they're an adult but childhood is vital indoctrination time for the church so whoops
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

I’m going to keep mentioning how heavily people leaned on the “actually, poor Black people don’t go to elite schools, we need more investment at the community level” argument when affirmative action was before the court, and how fucking silent they are now.
