The educated within Maga prey on the uneducated. It's the greatest and easiest grift ever to get these people to send you their money for nothing at all.

They will blame it on Democrats and all the other scapegoats and just get more radicalized and Nazified. The hell that is coming for them that they voted for is not going to teach them what's true. It's going to turn them into murderers.

Let's see them run anything more than a sham investigation that exonerates them so they can crow about it and neuter any further attempts to prosecute them if the houses flip next year.

They aren't going to learn. They're just going to die. But they're gonna take as many of the rest of us with them as possible. We'll never stop paying for the failure of American educational investment. An educated population would never in a million years allow this shit to happen.

Her absence is incredible. I hope if she runs again she gets about 0.2% of the vote. Absolute opposite of leadership.

The rest of Trump's miserable life and the freedom of his flying monkey brigade depend on them ensuring that Dems never govern again. They're plenty motivated.

We NEED to add justices to the Court. It's only partisan b/c GOP won't give up stolen advantage. DC SHOULD be a state. It's people have no representation but a bigger population than WY. PR if they choose should be a state. Those are the right positions. Everything GOP wants opposes what is right.

There is not a chance that he didn't engineer or at least fully approve this. 8 spineless tools who aren't up for reelection? That's Schumer.

Among other things, this would help break the stranglehold of lobbyists. Every one of their favorite Congresspeople will be out of power on one fell swoop. It could also break the stranglehold of the donor economy for elections. 2/2

This is THE plan to get the country behind a NEW CONGRESS in 2026. But it has to be a movement where every candidate signs onto a broadly popular agenda that centers dismantling every hallmark of fascism and restoring the country and government to the people. 1/2

No towel throwing. Just recognizing reality. Momentum won't matter in a rigged election. We have to aim to win elections, but we can't be lulled into thinking that's all it will take. They want to murder us in our homes. Can't defeat that with a ballot. Not with another year of their power.

A fair and free 2026 election is not going to happen if this regime is still in power. Period. We are not going to vote out fascism.

I'd have supported this until the disappearing act she's pulled since the election. Any legitimate opposition leader would be out there fighting for us visibly and loudly. And anyone worthy of fighting fascism would have contested the election. She ain't it.

Not nearly enough. Christian leaders from all sects need to come forward as one: MAGA are NOT Christians, they defy Jesus daily. They Christians astray with false idols. They are the antichrist. And then they need to organize as if they really believe that. Anything short of that will fail.

They are on a glide path to taking the global north as we slide into climate cataclysm. That's what the Canada and Greenland talk is about. This is a multinational crime syndicate. Capturing the US was the biggest piece of a bigger plan. "They" are the oligarchs, MAGA is their unwitting tool.
