Kamala and Walz gave y’all unity and real solutions. Trump fed folks fairytales about immigrants eating pets and trans kids lurking in bathrooms. 76 million voters ate it up.
@Noahpinion I feel like the only people calling solar "hippie bullshit" are terminally online Twitter rage engagement farmers. Most people who I talk to just look at it as a smart and helpful investment that makes them less reliant on the grid and reduces their costs.
Mike Johnson has blocked a proposal to allow representatives who give birth 6 weeks of being able to vote remotely so they could recover from childbirth.
In response to Johnson blocking the billl from even being brought to the house floor, GOP Rep Anna Luna stated "Female members should not be forced to choose between representing their constituents and having children."
Ultimately gop men do not value any woman. Not liberal women, not moderate women, and not those like Luna who eagerly pander to misogynists. Misogynist pandering gop women, meet leopard.
@Noahpinion Have you given BlueSky a legitimate try? I've actually found it's the opposite. I've found the toxic leftists to not be nearly as prevalent or as toxic on BlueSky as they are here, and blocking overall is much more effective
@stacycay BlueSky is generally a better place than this. Need more people and viewpoints, but I noticed much less insane and toxic stuff like this overall. Blocking and filtering out this stuff works much better as well.
Another tough realization that democrats must reckon with is that putting country over party has gained us nothing electorally, not a single thing. Democrats forced Trump to do the stimulus checks and extra unemployment benefits yet he’s gotten all the credit for all of it.
Biden sent out an even bigger check than Trump did but nope, the narrative is still ‘Trump gave us stimulus checks’.
Democrats made healthcare affordable for millions, ended a war— effectively ended the drone program, child tax credits, brought back manufacturing jobs, record low unemployment, saved the economy from a recession..and we were punished for it; severely in fact. How do you reckon with that?
As we continue to try to get the full truth out about what’s happening in this country, I encourage you to watch @cspan.
On yesterday a colleague had a bill in markup entitled “dismantle DEI.” In explaining why the bill was needed, multiple white R men argued that they are being “oppressed.”
I didn’t bring race into anything… THEY DID & always do & then they twist
history & dilute the definition of words.
The reason she became the FBI’s person of interest is because she was vice chair of the DNC at the time, and her emails weren’t included in the leak.
She also then started amplifying pro-Russian talking points, and Kremlin owned media outlets, including justifying Russia’s actions in Crimea.
Then Gabbard started appearing on Tucker Carlsons show - which, Canadian intelligence forces have reported as one of the US media companies receiving payments from the Kremlin operated RT.
Gabbard also received funds directly from Elena Branson, after she visited the Russian Embassy in 2019.
Since her nomination to the DNI, Russia has publicly praised her, but five-eyes partners have spoken out in concern, going as far as to say that the US would not be “read-in” to sensitive intelligence matters from partners if she’s at the helm.
Trump has made a lot of dumb quid-pro-quo cabinet choices.
But Tulsi Gabbard is the most dangerous.
12. Biden & Harris literally ditched 40 years of supply-side consensus to grow the economy, as Biden liked to say, from the bottom up and middle out. But no one who watches Fox or listens to Rogan or reads The Daily Wire or sees YouTube ads for gold bullion knows any of that.
9. People who voted *against* their own economic interests are going to figure out *on their own* what *exactly* those interests are, *but only after* they’ve been screwed over by the president they voted for?
