I think this supports my assertion that Democrats ought to be trying to inspire and motivate people who didn't bother to vote rather than worrying about the "swing voters" (i.e. idiots and arseholes) who voted for Trump.

Ask yourself why the first group stayed home, not how you can turn the right.
Never seen it framed this way by all recent elections

The dominant imagination haunting our world is that human nature is fundamentally bad and therefore {some or all} humans need to be eliminated or replaced. This belief is shared by white supremacism and christian nationalism, but also all of the various techno-utopianisms or techno-solutionisms.

Josh Shapiro's history with one of the biggest republican donors in the state Jeffrey Yass, is KNOWN and APPEALING to corporate democrats. He tamed the beast through appeasement. That's what these people want.
What’s behind Josh Shapiro’s support for school vouchers?
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro — believed to be on Kamala Harris’ vice president shortlist — supports using taxpayer money for school vouchers.

People assume pundits and moderates like Josh Shapiro because he's pro-Netanyahu and a moderate, and that's part, but the real important issue for them is that he FUCKING LOVES RICH PEOPLE MONEY. He can't get enough of fundraisers.

Many of the top names for 2028 are primarily online fundraisers

I learnt how to read early enough that I don't remember a single thing about the process.

Albeit a long way down the list, this is one of the many reasons we're not having children: I'm bad at teaching people how to do things that come naturally to me, and I'd be terrified of messing my kids up.

I wonder if this is connected to the fact that, seemingly, many if not most tiktoks or YouTube shorts have obvious, flagrant caption errors that go uncorrected.
that's why TikTok is the thing now. little or no reading

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

Is Schumer still the minority leader? Is Durbin still the whip? Is Cortes-Masto still a vice chair? Good Democrats -- rank and file, those committed to restoring party --must tell Act Blue and every candidate with hands out for the coming midterms -- that there's no cash coming without new leaders.

"Why, this is Hell, nor am I out of it."
there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

The government they overthrew was the one which introduced everything that comes up when foreigners talk about how Australia is better. Since the coup, those things have been progressively disassembled. No government which will meaningfully preserve them is permitted to be elected

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start.

“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”

Nope.

We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.

You work for us.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Saw a video of a woman confronting a member of the senate today, saying she won’t be voting for anyone involved in this next election and he straight up goes “don’t bring politics into this”
anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

The bare minimum acceptable way forward is we round up these secret police bastards and have them spend the rest of their lives in custody. The only arguable portion of this is how long "the rest of their lives" should be.
