Second one is Coco. Idk the third.

I took it as he views media with gay aspects as “therapy”. it’s an unfortunately common refrain and obviously homophobic as fuck.

SOME KIDS ARE GAY

(It’s possible those people would’ve been for Biden from the beginning but either way, I don’t think primary order played much role in the progressives vs moderates aspect. )

And all that to say, none of this really tilts the field for moderates over progressives or vice versa imo. What really swung 2020 far more than the schedule was the influx of young peppy candidates who pulled likely-sanders votes and then endorsed Joe.

I mean I think SC helped that sales pitch a *ton* in the sense it proved he was better at winning the black vote than other moderate candidates, but you’re right it was seen as a given and that it was him being competitive elsewhere that really sank the others.

It didn’t matter who they chose.

I tried to tell everyone this in 2020-23 but

If the president says he wants re-election, the party obliges. That’s been the case forever. Any talk about how they were gonna find someone new was all lip service bullshit to assuage concerns about his age in 2020.

It’s extremely rare for a party to deny a sitting president their shot at re-election, but recent anti-incumbent trends, if they hold, might change this.

Same, I felt it in my bones that day.

They had an easy chance to make JD unpalatable to the mainstream and didn’t even attempt it.

Tapper is not rank and file. He makes eight figures.

Absolutely not the same cycle, by February 2025 Trump had a major chilling effect on right wing parties ESPECIALLY in the Five Eyes.

We really can’t group 2025 with 2024 for that exact reason.

Yeah “it’s on the people” is a completely useless autopsy. Like are politicians gonna magically summon a new electorate? No? Guess we gotta work with what we go then, and figure out a way to get them to vote.

4. She’s better than a lot of the big names being tossed around for 2028.

5. She still shouldn’t run in 2028.

Members of the party FROM YOUR STATE voted to make gender affirming care a felony so maybe shut the entire fuck up.

Nobody said they were smart 🤷‍♀️ likely all that’s going through their brains is “hurt Iran”.

Iran is like a thousand times the size of Gaza and can’t be ground invaded.

As Lindsey Graham tried to sell Donald Trump on bombing Iran, he liked to play a little word- association game with the president. "I say Franklin Roosevelt, what do you say?" the Republican senator from South Carolina asked. The correct answer: "You have nothing to fear but fear itself." As he ticked through memorable presidential phrases, Graham asked Trump what his phrase would be. Trump said he didn't know, Graham recalled. "Keep protesting, help is on the way," Graham suggested, referring to Trump's social- media post in January urging Iranians to confront their government.

Most of the world is moving on from oil and disrupting supply won’t help.

Trump is doing this because he thinks it’ll get him on Mt Rushmore, which he believes because Lindsey Graham key-jingled him.

you’re from north Texas bleating about Illinois politics? How about you clean your own fascist shithole first?

why does every social media user with a cat pfp always hop in replies to tell people to kill themselves

Please save this venom for his actual fans, not misguided people who are just wanting to go a little easy on him.

Can y’all calm down they’re not a Newsom stan.

Perhaps the strongest counterargument to “everyone is twelve“ is that Trump is, at most, six years old mentally.

Why are you fighting against a Democrat?

pRAGMaTic yeah thats what I call hanging out with Newt Gingrich and saying that it’s wrong for democrats to oppose the social genocide of trans kids because my golly gosh they just talk about pRONOUNs too much.

Newsom has been working hard to throw lgbt people under the bus and keeps doubling down when asked in case you thought it was a mistake.

Fuck you.

to be clear i support both of them getting whatever body modifications & augmentations they want. i simply ask for the same equality & economic coverage (eg publicly funded).

Oh my god the only thing missing is jingling keys and him laughing and clapping like an infant
