A pattern that has led to the worst mass crimes in history:
A regime targets certain groups as dangerous “Others” who poison the nation.
The propaganda incites a storm of violence.
Having created what it now calls an “untenable situation,” the regime declares it must act.
It’s time for the press and lawyer class to *seriously* reconsider their views about John Roberts as an institutionalist. The man disdains democracy and equality. He has covered up his colleagues’ corruption and turned our Supreme Court into an arm of the Republican Party.
@RealSwoletariat If record voter registration, fundraising (for ads, organizers, staff for voter outreach since he doesn't seem to know why campaigns need money), and packed campaign events don't count, what does this guy think a campaign is supposed to do?
@RachelBitecofer I support her. I'm glad Biden endorsed her. But those things mean 💩💩💩 now.... I would love to be proven wrong and will volunteer every second I can if she's the nominee.
But the people driving this do not give a single flying fuck about the base.
@ParkerMolloy But also.... Maybe take your own advice about fighting with your own side on social media? Genuinely love your work but there's more than enough public info to show you who's actually moving the needle on Biden and just how much they'll care about anyone's desire to keep Harris.
@cmclymer I know some in the base believe what they are hearing and are genuinely worried. The megadonors and top Dems are moving with the money not the polls, and this has the potential to change the character of the Democratic party for decades as we get our equivalent of the NRA.

@JamesSurowiecki In case you're actually curious:

I don't think most considered any of this racist until the explicit calls for a brokered convention over the running mate who 2020 Americans and 2024 Dems voted to be next in the line of succession
@Fudge8618762247@drvolts@jbouie Most of these exact people at least on social media. Their threads throw in "of course other candidates are risky too!" then proceed to declare that we can ONLY improve polling results by changing candidates. Haven't seen them really acknowledge it's just as likely we'd do worse.
@ElieNYC@USsfo Glad so many others are truly baffled on this and still trying to make sense of it. KBJ refers to expert testimony on mental illness and survivors of domestic abuse as if there can be no line drawn between common responses given certain conditions and presumed knowledge, and
@Ediswatching1@0liviajulianna@TMFtx@texasdemocrats Great spot! So pervy that a 24yo is investigating teen girls' showers. Riley must be stopped!
My news is still broken but I'm so ready to rage out about the drag queens perving on teen girls as soon as you post that news! I'm still mad about this guy!! https://t.co/vXGMj0ve2J
@nycsouthpaw Link for the article on the 9800 felony charges?
I can't find analysis of whether Trump should receive prison time that doesn't seem entirely dependent on political positions
