You voted once, the presidential candidate you voted for won, the presidential candidate you voted against got removed from power, and now, four years later, you have to, like, vote again? So unfair. Voting is supposed to be something you do once, after which you get your way on everything forever.
2020/21 was a fork in the road. And here you are, back at the fork 4 years later. Voters invested Biden and the Dems with a mandate to stop Trump and his insurrection. They have horribly shirked that responsibility. Is the plan just to do this til the fascists win then hand over the keys? Or what?

Republicans and Fox News have made up stories about Hunter Biden so they can impeach Joe Biden. They are hoping the news media runs headlines that say "House votes to formalize impeachment inquiry" without saying there's no evidence. They are hoping for headlines exactly like this:

Texas using the power of the state to force a pregnant woman to take on considerable health risks—hospitalized multiple times, may have more trouble getting pregnant again—to bring a nonviable fetus to term is incredibly cruel, and shows the effort to be about control, not life.

the gradual replacement of “exchanging money for goods” with “exchanging money for a license to use goods as a service” has been one low key one of the worst changes of the 21st century
this is exactly why i still buy discs in 2023. it's crazy to think that we are reaching a point where piracy will be the only option to own media once dvds and blu-rays are gone.

If he wasn't a powerful and litigious white supremacist, what Elon's going through would be deeply sad. He clearly has a bottomless need for approval, has been used to getting it for years and is now destroying his life to seek it out from the dwindling number of losers willing to give it to him.

X, which is helped by advertisers such as the

Pizzagate has been thoroughly debunked by news organizations and the police since it arose from the 4chan message board in 2016.

Joe Biden has cancelled $127 billion in student loan debt for over 3.5 million Americans, & he is not, in fact, “doing genocide.” The people you’re angry at are Mitt Romney & the rest of the supposedly “moderate” GOP Senators, John Roberts & 5 other wizards in robes, & also Hamas, Netanyahu, etc.

In 2005, a Jewish family was forced to flee their home after challenging their local school's policy of requiring Christian prayer.

A young conservative lawyer named Mike Johnson decried the family as working for "the enemy" attempting to "silence the gospel" through "spiritual warfare"

“The ultimate goal of the enemy is silencing the Gospel," the Republican said in 2004 after Jewish parents sued a school for pushing Christianity on their kids.

These things are, of course, related. Since the NYT/Post aren't going to cover policy (see below), then Dems' best fallback strategy is to have them focus on Trump's incompetence/lawlessness/authoritarianism. But, obviously, The Narrative™️ requires portraying this as puzzling/Dems' desperation.

the Elon/Media Matters lawsuit is going to bury the reason advertisers first started fleeing, which was his "you have spoken the truth" post. Which is certainly deliberate.
