I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

This, by Matthew Boroson, is pretty convincing. I knew exactly none of it before reading the original post on Facebook.

Re-posting this for two reasons.

Minor reason: Rep. Pete Aguilar, friend and former mayor of Redlands CA, is part of next wave of talent and leadership for Dems.

Major reason: WT actual F ???? Can this be true?

So gratifying to see, at long last, the great voting rights activist & legend Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer recognized with a presidential Medal of Freedom. A true champion of democracy, and personal hero.

Dear @sulliview.bsky.social, I always appreciate your work, but there's some major flaws with this argument. The Guardian *does* have a billionaire owner. It's owned by the Scott Trust that is led by a private banker seeking to grow a £1.3bn trust fund.

Do you know how much progress Democrats could make by turning out just 3% more rural voters?

Three percent. This is exactly why I focus on rural down-ballot candidates. They may not be able to win their own race, but they can help races at the top of the ticket. carsey.unh.edu/publication/...
Modest Changes in Rural Voting Could Have Significant Implications in 2024
In this brief, authors Dante Scala and Kenneth Johnson estimate how much a slightly better (or worse) performance by the candidates in the rural areas of seven battleground states could influence the outcome of the 2024 election.

This election result isn't about Dem messaging.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they delivered their vision beautifully and eloquently.

Why isn’t the media harping on the fact that Trump won with the smallest margin in a quarter century and got less than half the vote? This should be a 24/7 news story. Are they afraid of Donald, or complicit?

Elon, here you go again making false and completely unfounded accusations without providing any specifics. That’s the kind of response one would expect from a conspiracy theorist. What oligarch? What treason?
