I find it very interesting that people like Piers will never have any actual trans women on these panels because otherwise he'd have to call us rapists to our face
If you ever see me silently shaking my head in public--I'm not being judgmental about something; I'm trying to reset my brain like a Magic 8-Ball because a bad memory randomly popped up and I'm trying to get something better.
The Harris campaign had a theory of the election: that by courting moderate Republican voters disenchanted by Trump they could make up for the erosion of working class POC (angered by immigration & inflation) and Arabs & antiwar voters (angered by Biden's unwavering support of Netanyahu's Gaza policy). This theory failed miserably. I would suggest that the people blame for the failure are the campaign rather than voters. Jentleson, adhering to the code of omerta of Dem made men, refuses to criticize fellow strategists so he is left to blame the voters.
With the amount of gray hair I have now, I'm convinced I'm going to be fully gray by 2028 from the amount of stress I'm going to be feeling during 45th's second term.
Smug moron Bill Maher is blaming trans people and wokeness for democrats losing to Trump. KAMALA NEVER MENTIONED EITHER! Stop begging an already far too conservative democratic party to get more conservative. We need FIGHTERS to take on the MAGA clown show and corrupt big money donors who have destroyed our country.
The Onion has acquired Infowars in a bankruptcy auction.
They plan to debut a new Infowars in January that will serve as parody, mocking weird Internet personalities like Alex Jones.
The Onion CEO says they acquired it because “this is the funniest thing that has ever happened”

Ruling Elite: Let's get Dick Cheney's endorsement & anoint Rahm Emanuel as DNC Chair.
1 word: No!
This does not match my reporting on Harris/Rogan. Big issue was timing. Harris scheduled to travel to Texas to do Rogan ultimately went. But Trump had booked show same day, and her advisers did not want her doing late night or early am. So negotiations continued but fell apart.
Bernie Sanders responds to Nancy Pelosi's statement that "I don't respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class."
SANDERS: "We have not even brought forth legislation to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, despite the fact that some 20 million people in this country are working for less than $15 an hour in America today...if you're an average working person out there, do you really think that the democratic party is going to the mats, taking on powerful special interest and fighting for you? I think the overwhelming answer is no."
That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62.
Time to rebuild the left.
We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small.
1/ Some early thoughts:
DL: Does anyone have any ideas about what might have happened?
Bernie Sanders: It's the cost of living and feeling unheard and unhelpful by government.
DL: Shut the fuck up, no one asked you!
Democratic Leadership: Why would so many people abandon the party??
Leftists: Cost of living.
Working class: Cost of living.
Young voters: Cost of living.
Immigrants: Cost of living.
DL: It's a total mystery, the voters must just be stupid.

Everybody needs to stop pretending that democratic candidates and politicians are "woke" or for "open borders". These things are fucking preposterous. Identity politics/ political correctness/ race issues were NON-EXISTENT in this race. Biden and Kamala deported MORE PEOPLE than Trump and tried to do a right-wing border bill which was blocked by Trump.
Democrats don't need to shift right to win, they need to have their own narrative. The reason people's lives suck isn't immigrants it's big money donors who have bought the government and rig it against working people.
kamala was literally putting out tiktoks about how much she loved her glock and touting the border patrol’s support for her immigration policy, what election does he think we just went through
