Straight talk? In 2016, a lot of high profile consultants needed a scapegoat to save their jobs and “Bernie Bros who refused to vote for Hillary” were a convenient choice.

Where the fuck did this idea that it is not a politicians job to convince people to vote for them come from?
For my entire life, that has always been the basic, agreed upon task of anyone running for office. You have to convince voters.
I never saw this new sentiment until after 2016.

NGL these women rewrote my brain chemistry in a way that hasn't happened since I discovered anime waifu in my teens.
Power Rangers and Call The Midwife are the same show but some of y'all aren't ready to have that conversation.
The nurses are the Megazord of Call The Midwife, you can't just call them at the start, you gotta let the tension build and then call them at the end.
If non BBC orgs are to collect the license fee then hasn't the BBC just admitted it has no case for existence in it's current form

... Through line. Where Marco spends his story arc chasing his original mother, the woman who taught him that there's always a choice; it's not A to B, it's A *or* B (Referring to seeing life as a comedy or tragedy)
@animorphsanonymous.bsky.social
Thinking about how Marco is pushed into being the logical, A to B guy but he repeatedly talks about how he hates math. It's clever how his new mother is the personification of a life he has no control over - life is math, it's immovable in it's reasoning and...
It’s really funny that we’re always told to hold our noses and vote centrist. Centrists never have to hold their noses and vote progressive. And that’s why we’re here.
Giving Dems a free pass to run garbage candidates nobody likes is how y'all keep getting into this mess

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly worried all the Republican House members who just lost their primaries and now have nothing to lose will join Thomas Massie in voting to force the DOJ to reveal all the Epstein Files that incriminate him.
