When the world seems close to pear shaped,
When leaders fill you with despair
When things look dark and dreary
And love seems far too rare -
CUDDLE A DUCK
[ It works ...]
If you are born into a family with financial security l actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
Ana Kasparian says she doesn't find the Graham Platner accusations credible, and then criticizes his accuser for not leaving her home after she was raped.
Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out.
Good, he should never be able to show his face in public again without being confronted over facilitating a genocide. Israel has murdered over 20,000 children in Gaza. His children will survive being a little uncomfortable while their dad is being held accountable.
This was a truly wild moment: Sharif Street worked in 2022 with the PA GOP to reduce the number of Dem seats in exchange for one getting drawn for himself that he thought he’d easily win.
He failed and now he’s running for one of the seats he tried to get rid of, facing Chris Rabb and Ala Stanford.
If you need any more evidence that democratic congressional leadership supports the Iran war. They miscounted the votes so an actual co-sponsor of the bill had to vote against it to stop it from passing!
Notice how the vast majority of accomplishments on this list are pre-70’s/New Democrats.
The only two “accomplishments” from the modern era listed are:
-Obamacare: a band-aid on a gunshot wound at a time when the Dems had a supermajority in both Houses. Part of the reason it ended up that way was Obama leaning on Dems that wouldn’t vote for it without a public option, instead of the ones who wouldn’t vote for it with one. Rotating villain-a-go-go.
-Gay Marriage: A better demonstration of why Dems have lost their base you couldn’t find than the fact that this was the only other thing from the past 50 years he could come up with-a parade that had long since gathered majority public support before Dems jumped out in front of it. The kicker is they all opposed it right up to the minute the polls told them it was safe to virtue-signal off the issue.
Hooray for gay marriage, but when that’s all you’ve got, folks start to get the sneaking suspicion that’s all you have, and it ain’t enough.
Riley Gaines and Libs of TikTok are complaining about medical bills. David French says adopting a Black child opened his eyes to systemic racism. Laid-off TPUSA employees say workers need stronger protections.
Conservatism is the rejection of empathy for others. Once an issue affects them personally, they adopt the progressive position.
