@GeliStag@ossoff the fbi investigated it. but im sure you dont care about those things. considering the text of the message is so obviously not how anyone would talk and the account name is so obviously bait. your inability to see that tells me all i need to know.
Stop saying “F*ck ICE.” Tell us your plan to reform it.
Stop saying “Free Palestine.” Tell us your pathway to achieving a lasting peace.
Stop saying “Medicare for All.” Explain how you’re actually going to build the coalition and persuade enough lawmakers to pass it.
If candidates who campaign on slogans instead of governing continue to win primaries, then it’s no wonder Donald Trump is president again.
Something has gone wrong in our politics. While many Democrats focused on governing, media spaces were increasingly dominated by outrage pundits and political entertainers. We normalized some of the most deplorable voices and shifted the Overton window toward post-liberal politics.
Challenging institutions and questioning the status quo can be healthy and progressive. But, we should always ask who benefits when public trust in every institution is eroded. Remember, not everyone trying to tear something down is interested in building something better.
Our adversaries are laughing because, in today’s America, experienced legislators are expected to answer to online personalities and oyster farmers whose entire political program amounts to repeating slogans.
The Biden administration didn’t have to chant “Free Palestine” to pursue a two-state solution, increase humanitarian aid, support Palestinian self-determination, oppose Hamas, and apply pressure on the far-right Israeli government.
The Obama administration didn’t have to abolish immigration enforcement to pursue immigration reform, expand protections for immigrants, and explore practical ways to improve our system.
The Clinton administration didn’t spend every day campaigning on universal health care. Instead, it focused on economic growth, deficit reduction, and policies that contributed to greater financial stability for many Americans, while pursuing health care reforms that ultimately fell short.
Could Democratic administrations have done better? Absolutely. Every administration leaves unfinished work.
But people who dismiss decades of incremental progress as meaningless while offering nothing beyond slogans are not interested in offering solutions.
America is not perfect, but it is a great country. Its strength comes from electing representatives who understand that governing requires responsibility, coalition-building, compromise, and results, not political entertainers selling snake oil, repeating catchphrases, or turning politics into a reality show.
Be gone, @grahamformaine. You’re every bit as disgraceful as the people who stood by your side and still, to this day, refuse to take accountability for the lies they’ve fed to Americans who still believe in our democracy!
@TerryFranconia the innings gap is just too big. lowest they have ever given was 167ip. and everyone has agreed in retrospect that was a mistake. hes on pace for 16 less. (over 2 starts worth).
Trump lost an election, refused to accept the result, and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election. And he was never, ever held accountable for that. So of course he now believes he can do ANYTHING he wants. After he got away with trying to overthrow an American election, who’s gonna stop him now when he breaks the law or engages in public corruption and enriches himself by billions. He knows nobody is gonna stop him.
I'd be cautious about this reporting, even with modern medical technology it's incredibly difficult to tell the difference between a braindead person and an ordinary Republican.
