@AydinPaladin There’s a helpful way to discuss the connections between education levels & voting choices but this was clearly not it. Media literacy and critical thinking skills obviously play hugely into what influences a person, just super important to not be an elitist prick about it

Every time there’s a Trump nomination announcement, it’s helpful to remember that Democratic consultants are home at their mansions counting the tens of millions of dollars they just made off losing a winnable election that coulda prevented all of this.

@krystalball 💯. Lots of Republicans and most disaffected Democrats would have voted Berney in any of these cycles. Corporate Dems have sacrificed our political stability on the alter of profit and identity politics.

@IAmMrsBeat @VTHistory25 I get the political concerns and not wanting RFK to be in charge of US health, but at least this particular policy proposal is sensible. It’s the sort of idea I wish the Dems were advocating.

@HardcoreHistory Let’s not loose sight of the goal though and do everything we can to someday prove you wrong here. Bert Russell still lives (in spirit).

@beatmastermatt @EmpTigerstar Now if either of you get investigated for shady billionaire cash or insider trading I’m going to be upset. ;)

@JoaquinFChavez @ShabanaMir1 Glad you don’t buy it. Collective guilt is indeed a dark path. It’s to abandon reason for madness. The Furies can never provide a way to end this nightmare. Only the Eumenides hold the possibility for a way out.

@esaagar This is genuinely a silly issue to focus on considering everything else. The normie take (also the correct take) is to yawn and move on. Talking about labor rights and foreign policy is energy far better spent.

@JoaquinFChavez @dimitrilascaris And that if they lose it will be to a guy that uses Palestinian as a slur and says that Bibi should ‘finish the job’. The fact that there is no referendum on this issue is gut-wrenching. Sick system.

@EmpTigerstar My standards would be high. Geographic and cultural accuracy would be so key, which is a very high bar. But if they got it right that would be SO cool! Video games used for their unparalleled teaching potential. BTW, love the channel! 🗺️

A serene afternoon exploring the trails and feeling the majesty of the old growth trees at Jedediah Smith State Park near Crescent City, California. #nationalpark #redwoods #trails #talltrees

@ettingermentum This would resonate more clearly if T wasn’t so vehemently pro-torture & other cruel & unusual treatment. That said, the Cheney endorsement is genuinely nauseating.

Highway 50 through Nevada, known as the Loneliest Highway. It’s a surprisingly pleasurable and gorgeous drive through the desert. Fill up with fuel when you can and enjoy this unique slice of Americana. #highway50 #roadtrip #highway #nevada #austin #americana

@beatmastermatt What are your thoughts on Breaking Points?

Lehman Caves in Nevada. A central attraction in Great Basin National Park, it was a wonder to explore this wonder. From the gothic room. #caves #nationalpark #wonder #nevada

Dahlias in the Botanical Gardens in Fort Bragg. An absolute must stop this time of year on the Mendocino Coast. #dahlia #botanicalgarden #perennial #pollinators #mendocinocoast

Wildflowers in the Sierras. A perfect day in the mountains on the Pacific Crest Trail. Lupine, arnica, rose thistle, and red columbine. #pacificcresttrail #pct #sierras #wildflowers #columbine #mountains

Stokes Castle in Austin on the Loneliest Highway, Nevada. Built in 1897, it was only occupied for two months before being abandoned. Absolutely worth the stop. #highway50 #austin #nevada #castle #greatbasin #loneliesthighway
