The Genocide Joe crowd accomplished what they wanted. They destroyed the reputation of a politician who was probably as friendly to dove causes as possible because he gave Israel leeway after Hamas started a war.
The results were predictable.
The normie position on immigration is really not that hard to figure out:
* Deport immigrants who commit crimes
* Fix the unlimited asylum loophole
* Don't go around acting like a gestapo, kidnapping people off the streets, violating rights and murdering protestors
My current politics is every leftist who undermined Democrats for the last decade has led us to this moment. I am not interested in putting out a fire with arsonists who think when they light fires it's fine.
Leftists gave us Fetterman over a much better alternative in the primary and are now using the candidate they got elected as evidence voting doesn’t work
I don’t think we talk enough about how the highest profile leftist in the past decade is the Director of National Intelligence of a fascist, authoritarian administration. A literal student of Bernie Sanders
Some people believe that Islam—an on-average deeply conservative Abrahamic religion with a long and ancient list of taboos—is going to sit at the same table of the progressivism alongside LGBTQ, intersectional feminism, socialism, and postmodernism.
Good luck with that.
Obama: America has always had competing stories about who we are and what the nation stands for.
The first story says that even though we got rid of a king, there is still a caste system in America, a pecking order of who makes decisions That if somebody doesn't look like or think like you or practice religion the same way you do, they must be a threat to your way of life, and they need to be put in their place.
That is how Donald Trump thinks about America. Make America great again by putting the people in charge even if they don't know what the hell they are doing. But here is the thing. That story is not new. It is the oldest story in the book. It is not even uniquely American. For most of human history, that is the way society has worked. For somebody on top and somebody on bottom. There were lords and peasants. For a long time, that story of caste and privilege and concentrated power was the law of the land here in America. If you look like me, you were likely treated as property. If you were a woman, or a white man who did not own property, you could not vote.
But from the very start, there was another story, born of this nation's true revolutionary spirit, a story that says, we the people means what it says, that all of us are included, that we are not subjects, but citizens, defined not by race or religion or gender or sexual orientation, but by our commitment to a common creed and a willingness to accept not just privileges, but responsibilities that come with that citizenship.
i'm sorry but watching all my rightwing tech bro friends re-discover the Trans-Pacific Partnership and act like it's some genius idea that conservatives just came with up is objectively the funniest shit i've seen in years
i love you guys but geopolitics is not your strong suit
It will never cease to amaze that Americans basically just got bored of having the best lives on the planet so they elected a lunatic to blow it up in the hopes of building some microwave factories for their children to find meaning in.
Congressional portfolios don't beat the stock market.
This shows the power of negativity bias in dominating politics.
Even when you can prove a lack of corruption, people assume it exists.
Rise of social media means people get more info, but it's only the outlier cases.
You came to a place of Jewish worship, stood on the Bhima, near the holy Torah scroll, and pretended to be congregants.
You have no shame, no decency, and no clue what you’re talking about.
Israel blowing up all of Hezbollah’s comms technology somehow, forcing all the top leadership of an elite Hezbollah spec ops unit to meet in person, and then blowing up the building and killing them all doesn’t sound like something that should be possible to pull off in real life
Kevin Williamson's first-hand account of Springfield, Ohio, is a masterpiece. It is moving, heart-breaking, scathing and infuriating. All one can say by the time he's done debunking Trump's and Vance's lies is that God damn both of them, but esp Vance.

Kamala just did some real work on foreign policy, combating autocracy, supporting allies, standing up to Putin, and speaking to the suffering of Palestinians in ways that we rarely hear. This is someone ready to be President right now.
Barack Obama's speech is the most Enlightenment Liberalism statement I have heard! He has hit every fundamental note: equal dignity for all, pluralism, toleration for those with different lifestyles and values, freedom, justice, and compassion for political opponents.
