A This Is Our Current Political Reality fact too many deny: no matter how much your candidate ought to win, if they'll draw more votes against them than another of your party's candidates would—and they don't have the overwhelming support that other candidate does—they'll lose.
Does that mean

I once voted for a candidate in a primary because I thought they could win, instead of the candidate I preferred. I regret that vote terribly. how can a candidate win if people don't prefer them?
non-preferred candidates shouldn't get votes. don't even rank candidates you don't prefer.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

Just a few examples of FBI/DOJ documents that haven't been released:
The 2019 prosectors' memos on co-conspirators they considered charging.
The 2007 60-count draft indictment of Epstein.
A raft of victim statements detailing abuse from powerful men.
And much more

so the republicans want to make me feel like a bad guy because I buy an avocado from Mexico instead of an apple from washington.
but nobody ever talks about how republicans buy entire factories from overseas just so they can immediately put American workers out of a job & kill entire towns.

why did the bots try to convince people Jeffrey Epstein was murdered and definitely did not kill himself?
so you wouldn't believe that suicide note is his authentic suicide note.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Vance comes down against “purity tests”—i.e., against criticizing the neo-Nazis. He’s happy to have them as part of his coalition.
JD Vance: "When I say that I'm going to fight alongside of you, I mean all of you — each and every one. President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless, self-defeating purity tests."
