You gave yourself away by using the noun "Democrat" as an adjective. It invalidates everything else.

Ok, so it turns out he's just a dumbass.

I'm sure I don't want to know, but I think I put a like on a couple of posts of people who said they were being taken to a ballet or opera, and now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have done that.

Why does that dipshit still have a job.

It's why I get mad at people saying with absolute certainty it can't happen. It damn sure can, and it can turn on a dime when you're as diverse as Texas with such a high Latino population. Beto came close in very different times and after saying what he said about guns. We'll see, but it's doable.

Just a reminder we have a few races coming up on Tuesday:

- 2026 primaries in Mississippi
- 3 Special Elections in GA (jungle primaries), including MTG's seat

But there's also this special in NH that is flying under the radar a bit! We have the chance to flip a Trump +9 seat there!

That's good. I'll quote post your right before I block you. This is the longest train of tedious BS i've read here in a while.

Republican liars are finding their lies don't work anymore. When they're given money, they use it to go visit their moms when people need to investigate a shooting or to cart their country singer girlfriends or have airplane affairs with their married partners. Spare us the self-righteous hypocrisy.

This is the only way while Republicans are in power, to put pressure on local politicians and businesses.

We just passed 60,000 followers, and I am so honored. This is beyond my wildest dreams, and I am grateful beyond words. I never set out to have a platform this size. I appreciate every one of you more than you know.

For new followers, here's a few posts about my work here and irl.

Tied for the most GOP members of Congress retiring in a century and the most GOP Senators to retire EVER!

That right there should tell you where the energy is this cycle…..

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.

A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

We have a lot more like him, especially in the House, who need to be getting love from everybody.

I don't get offended when I'm blocked unless I'm following someone and don't know why they blocked me, and I block people who seem fine, but have features suggesting they might not be authentic interactive accounts. It's a handy way of curating for small accounts, like preventing spam calls.

When writing essays for tests or in other public environments, reading it out loud to yourself is a good substitute.

Exactly. If he wants to help fix it maybe he can endorse the Democratic opponent of his replacement.

Texas and other states had better vote smart and make sure they're able to get there to vote and that their votes are properly counted. If he's not slowed down at minimum after these elections, loyal red states are about to enter a world of hurt.

I don't know, and there are so many delusional people in this country where he and Republicans are concerned, but I think if she said anything negative she would get his attention, and that probably isn't a good idea. She's asking for a change in how they operate.

His decline to what seems to be turning into baby talk? is stark. He's always had difficulty sounding like a regular adult, but it's like he's talking to another kid he's trying to bully or intimidate on a playground in elementary school. A mental Benjamin Button.

Someone explain to me why shooting through a side window shouldn't be a murder charge.

I've said it plenty, but Trump is a cover for a lot of Republicans like Graham doing crimes, including crimes against this country. He shares responsibility for the death and destruction, and what may be an irreversible decline of this country internationally.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

So when @davidjolly.bsky.social becomes governor he can label MAGA a terrorist group? Cool.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

They want this. Until we finally understand and accept that this party has been completely devoured by white right extremists, corporate oligarchs, and foreign adversaries, we don't have a chance of restoring and reforming our system to match the principles we claim to defend.

Honestly, one reason I'm quite skeptical of a lot of AI claims, the more aspirational ones at least, is that the top guys and top execs seem to have a truly juvenile understanding of phenomena like consciousness, self-awareness etc.

I love beating them at their own game and I love "you start it, I finish it." That's what stops bullies.

It doesn't need to be undone. Republicans have been playing the system to this end for years. They don't need to get back enough power to rig it again. Not until they reform or are replaced.
