To most Democratic party elected officials, the only stakeholders they recognize are their donors.

Better yet, I'm told Rand Paul put forth an amendment to take this language out of the bill, and almost 30 democratic senators voted to keep this language in the bill.

Democrats support republican policies. They hate you.

This is clearly an effort to demobilize their own voters for the midterms. They're paid to lose.

"but florida shouldn't have been close enough to--" bush got more votes from registered democrats than nader did in total, shut the fuck up granddad

I would extend that to all online betting. Doubt it will happen but it should.

I can wait to see them try to explain away Mamdani's victory. The democratic establishment and its supporters are going to have a big cry party on behalf of their donors.

Ah, that makes sense. I was taking a pass on this anyway despite my love of Tron. Thank you!

I don't subscribe to tic tok and couldn't play the video. What does she say?

That's unfortunate. I just started playing the game and enjoy it so far. I wonder if the developers might fix this at some point?
