Leftist and liberals NEED each other. Circle the wagons, not the firing squad.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

I complain about liberals and leftists complaining about each other.

Death to the circular firing squad.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own GOP senate majority and the constitution's advice & consent provision so they can make a man investigated for *sex trafficking a minor* into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

@adamwren @hollyotterbein @lisakashinsky WE JUST RAN THEIR PREFERRED ELECTION AND THEY LOST. WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY REBELLING AGAINST???

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@RBReich 🙏🏼

If things progress as they seem to be, in 20 years or so Republicans will be Dixiecrats and Dems 100% establishment elites.

Can this be reversed? Not sure.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@newscientist Chimps use sticks and rocks. Don’t think there is a true first.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@TristanSnell Heh

Trump was required to do all these things as well. Never did. No one will enforce anything

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@chrislhayes There is a whole branch of mathematics on voting systems. Our current system is definitely the worst.

Systems that let you give an opinion on multiple choices are better.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@gcccmharding @elijahdaniel Words have consequences. OP just exercising his freedom of speech!

What Trump represents goes way beyond politics! You idiots are about to own everything. Fuck around and find out.

[DCPetterson.bsky.social @dcpetterson]

I could be wrong (and I hope I am), but I'm convinced Trump intends to shock and terrify the world, and frighten us all into obedience, in his first forty-eight hours.

Do. Not. Comply.

I won't list what I think will be in those Exec Orders. Read Project 2025. All at once.

6/6

@lisakashinsky @costareports @adamwren @ccadelago @ec_schneider @hollyotterbein @politico By then Israel should be done exterminating its neighbors, so why not?

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@DavidOAtkins She didn’t even TRY to excite the base or turn out the vote! Dems never learn. Literally the same mistakes Clinton made.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

I’m actually shocked how bad the college-educated white-women vote was! That literally the only demographic Harris tried to get!

[Howard Gold @howardrgold1]

@TimOBrien Again, college-educated white women voted 58-41 for Harris. Non-college-educated white women, like their white male counterparts, voted 2-to-1 TRUMP. It's getting boring pointing this out to people who have a pre-set narrative.

@highbrow_nobrow Even plain ol’, church approved, missionary sex with the wife will work just fine! Just need to keep a cup near the bed.

If this was a real concern, ain’t exactly hard to come up with alternatives.

[Brandy Jensen @BrandyLJensen]

chiming in alongside everyone else to say this is so good https://t.co/8yQW9SP9pc

@digby56 Not be president.
Seriously, leaders across the globe were punished for this, regardless of ideology

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@ChaseMadar Cause we already thought things were bad???

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@vanillaopinions I can’t find the numbers to prove it, but I believe this was a turnout issue more than a change in preference. I know youth vote was down and Harris failed to turn out the base.

Some young men have been persuaded by the “alpha male” ridiculousness, but most still liberal.

[Christian Stran @christianstran_]

I owe Green Party voters an apology. Kamala Harris lost by 4.6 million votes. The Green Party didn’t even reach 650K. Democrats did not lose because of the Green Party. Establishment Democrats lost because they have abandoned the 40% of their party who voted for Bernie Sanders.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@digby56 Harris threw the base under the bus this time, but avoided the Real American part. She went for rich Republican women and failed miserably.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

@matthewstoller What the eff are you saying?? It was still clearly the correct choice at the time.

[Mark Matson @mark_matson]

This is an important point. More than anything it was the inflation that killed the Democrats.

While I still blame Harris for pushing the base away instead of trying to turn them out, this was an issue worldwide.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.

Some of those stories may even be true!

But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇
