"The lesser of two evils is still evil" is an excuse.
If we are engaged the politicians will bend to our wills in order to be elected. If we don't engage the politicians will bend to the wills of the people who are engaged.

As many have said, if you tell the voters "the GOP is too dug in on the ACA, but we wanted to get food for starving people and ensure air travel will be less dangerous," that's defensible. Instead they snuck this out on a Sunday afternoon six days after Dems won huge election victories. Stupid.

"Why vote? Your vote won't matter."
"Why protest? They don't care what you think."
"Why bring lawsuits? They won't obey the courts."
"Why support opposition candidates? They don't stand a chance."
These are all arguments I've seen here and on Facebook. The common through-line is "give up". 1/2

Don't just LARP at being crazy like Governor Newsom, be authentically crazy like the Felon in Chief.
Vance: This idea that Gavin Newsom is somehow going to mimic Donald Trump's style—That ignores the fundamental genius of President Trump's political success that he is authentic.. Don't be a crazy person. Be authentic

How could President Zelensky have disrespected the US? He could barely get a word in edgewise.

I’m not a fan of Klobuchar, but this is ridiculous. She met with a major Senate Republican to get support on a point of agreement.
She’s not responsible for Lindsey Graham’s lack of spine. Attack Republicans for being hacks, not Dems for trying to actually pass things while in the minority.

THIS is why Democratic leaders must be replaced sooner rather than later.

Felon Donold Тяцмр,
You are not a king and you are not "the federal law". The fact that you have proclaimed yourself to be both these things is proof that you are unworthy of the office you hold.

I thought ballots are supposed to be secret. How can they throw out 60,000 votes after they have been cast?
Craig Schauer, atty for Judge Griffin, went before a Wake Co. judge "without notifying opposing counsel to seek an order" blocking election certification. "In some instances...such ex parte motions are improper."
WUNC raised "possible ethical issues" around the action.

Kiss me passionately in the secluded corner of a used bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a raging thunderstorm, or kindly stop wasting my time.
