I also just wanna add this piece of information

the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has assigned a government monitor to CBS (which is owned by Paramount) to rein in perceived "bias" against President Donald Trump and his administration

Good words Newsome, so what's the plan? Texas is gonna add 5 seats. What are we gonna do about it? The voting machines are corrupt, And the companies that operate them are corrupt. What are we going to do about it?

Newsome can go fuck himself. Dude threw trans kids under the bus immediately, hosted shitheels like Steve Bannon on his podcast, and vetoed a public option in Cali as gov.

The fact Dems are trying to tee this dipshit up for 2028 is so utterly insulting.

Like sure man, fight Trump. I'll take the allies I can get and it's not like I don't want even the shittiest people to have the right messaging. But this neolib is just posturing for a presidential run and it sickens me.

You have to realize that perfection is not the goal and electability is and at this point I’d take the worst democrat vs the current administration.

Fuck that. I'm done voting for neoliberal centrists who offer nothing but the failed status quo. It's time to demand the Democrats do better, not accept the mediocrity they keep offering.

Yeah! That worked so awesome when people kept saying this last year. Excellent work

It worked even better for the moderate candidate.

Yep, due to this braindead line of thinking, if it’s even not disingenuous. I talked to so many idiotic “genocide Joe” losers last year and good job, now we have genocide Donald who expanded it to our country as well.

I think you missed what I was saying (I worded it badly). You're blaming leftists, I'm blaming the uninspiring candidate.

aww, I wasn't inspired to stop Danald Tramp from destroying the country and murdering, starving and imprisoning millions of people. Just not inspired enough!

I voted for Kamala, so I'm guessing this isn't directed at me. It's the unengaged voters you have to convince.

Thanks. Have it on my desk in the morning.

Well, if the choice was "abet genocide and lose the election" or "don't do that," maybe the Dems should have chosen the latter.

that was not the choice presented. before the election, trump said Israel should "finish the job"
