…by itself. Don’t just blame them: start a new network with some of that purported Soros money (and Buffet, Gates, Hollywood). Put on a can’t miss show: a telethon to destroy the Right once and for all!

..but most serious and dedicated politicians on the left don’t have the same cachet or skills, and they could use some support with promotion and appeal to regular voters. They often DO address the issues that concern rural and red leaning voters, but that message can’t penetrate the RW bubble…

…a way that sticks up for the party, energizes the base, and makes them believe what’s being said. McConnell certainly isn’t a show- or sales-man: he’s won in the public eye only because he has the force of perceived authority behind him. Gavin Newsom is catching on…

it’s the biggest factor in why Republicans get away with what they do, and how they keep getting elected even when they’re exposed. Democrats don’t have that, but Republicans have had it for decades. So, sure, McConnell can be completely hypocritical and unethically partisan and skate away…

So, yeah, like nearly every time I listen to these hand-wringing podcasts (not just yours, btw) about what the Democrats are failing to do, the voice inside my head is yelling at me, “WOULD THEY PLEASE FACTOR IN THE RIGHT WING MEDIA!!!” BECAUSE —sorry, I mean, because, IMO…

…majority in DC and the states. Which means sane liberal people need to pay attention to the details of policy efforts, and show up to vote EVERY TIME.

I disagree completely. The pendulum swings: the problem is that the pendulum doesn’t swing fast enough for impatient voters who think everything can change overnight just because they get a president and maybe a majority. The system doesn’t allow for it, and it can’t be changed w/out a longstanding

That, and the RWmedia lies about EVERYTHING. And when the Rs get back in, they reverse and obstruct. It’s the same old thing every cycle. If the public were smarter or RWmedia was destroyed, they’d keep the Dems (or even a few reasonable Rs if they aren’t extinct), and they would see progress.

What continues to vex me is that Democrats absolutely DO address the kitchen table issues: the problem is that their policies aren’t given time to come to fruition before they’re voted out by a public who’s ignorant, impatient, and under the influence of RWmedia saying “expensive eggs!!”

Richard Branson!! Pls invest in a global/Amrcn/Brtsh media group that will use plain truth, justice, and decency to destroy the authoritarian right. It WOULD be profitable if it’s headed by people who undrstd appealing to the frustrations, heartstrings, and simplisticness of avg voters.

…completely understand. And there are SO many opportunists waiting to misinform them. In any case, Fetterman balances the possibility that he can wrangle something out of Trump, AND hope his voters notice at all, against the optics of saying Trump’s legitimate.

Voters may want results, but the reason they don’t get results is THEM. They’re…dumb, for lack of an all-encompassing word. Of course, not all are: some vote with intelligence and understanding. Many others are just so busy and tired and jaded and whatever, that they don’t have the ability to

My eroded spirituality has been decimated by recent events; I would like to quit my job and assume a low-key position in a sit-com like setting. Can I come live in your gatehouse and be rude to your visitors? You could choose my wardrobe and make-up, and film it for reality show.

Gillingham(hard G) makes me think of Gilligan(from Gilligan’s Island, of course), which is fine, because that takes me back to a time when I didn’t know or care about humanity’s lack of humanity. The soft G, OTOH, brings to mind Ginger, jiggling her “hams(?),” which is nice. I’d include a GIF, but—

What a complicated mess this whole definition thing is (see Wikipedia ). It’s worse than Monty Python’s Life of Brian discussing the slight differences between all the social justice group names in Judea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democra...

Exact what a cultist is taught to say when they’re called out. The lack of critical thinking is astounding, and the devotion to a perspective that’s proven idiotic by simple reality every day: mass psychological dysfunction. I guess the only treatment is when the shit hits the fan and lands on you.
