The minute protesting wasn’t a fun, intramural sport for clout and virtue signaling and it might actually cost them something, the protests *evaporated*.

Black people literally endured dogs and fire hoses. Gay people endured bricks and rocks being thrown at them. And that was just for basic civil rights. Why is THIS too much? Let's be honest, what it really comes across as is you just wanna bitch about Dems than Repubs. And I think the reason you RECOGNIZE it's not "Safe" is cuz you're slowly waking up to the fact it would have been better for Dems to be in power, but now that they're not, you don't wanna deal with the consequences of your own actions/inaction of voting.

Democrats and Republicans are the same. But also, I will only protest Democrats, because Republicans will murder me.

@PoliticalMemes5 @DCinvestor So 1)Independent voter = Third party voter 2) We can wait decades for a third party candidate to break 10% but we want immediate solutions from elected Dems. Yep, and now we have left the world of logic and reason thank you for your time...God Bless and Goodnight

@ObsidiusOne @DCinvestor 1) then what does Independent mean. It's a third party candidate that's not an R or D. 2) By the times D's solve the problems we'll all be dead. Tell me again why we should support them?

sorry, but its absolutely never a wrong time to bring up the fact that if Biden had stepped down a year earlier, had let a Democratic primary happen, and the party had run a real candidate then we very likely would not be in this mess

Welp, I'm pretty sure Michelle Obama never had to deny being part of a human trafficking ring or connections to Epstein. When you have to invoke a press conference to say you didn't... you probably did. Thanks, Melania, for bringing Epstein back into the news.

"Grow up. You really expect us to protest when there is any risk or danger involved? Protesting Democrats is safe and fun. Protesting MAGA and Republicans is too dangerous. Don't be silly. Oh btw, both sides are the same"

@PoliticalMemes5 @DCinvestor So 1) independent doesn't mean third party 2)From what from the way progressives treated Biden and Harris, they have the patience to wait years for a third party candidate becomes viable, but not the patience to give a Dem administration time to solve problems

@ObsidiusOne @DCinvestor Well fortunately I think people are waking up and third parties may have a chance in the coming years.

@PoliticalMemes5 @DCinvestor Well I am glad you voted. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of casting my vote for a candidate that i think is perfect, but has a 2% chance of winning. But thank you for helping me to appreciate how a lot of people think.🙏

@ObsidiusOne @DCinvestor Of course not. I voted in the last three elections, but it wasn't for the Republicans or the Democrats.

@PoliticalMemes5 @DCinvestor So you think more Democrats should not vote because that will make things better?

@ObsidiusOne @DCinvestor They do this because they think "Hey lets make sure the worst most right-wing candidates are our opponents, then Progressives will have to vote for us because they'll have nowhere else to go. That was the whole idea with Hillary's pied piper strategy. This is how they campaign👇

@PoliticalMemes5 @DCinvestor Yes! they supported more extreme far right candidates and the strategy worked! That is why we have Gov Shapiro, Gov Pritzker and Gov Whitmer!

@ObsidiusOne @DCinvestor "That is why they have all three branches and most statehouses." And guess who helps them?

@SarahIronside6 Either she was faking then or she is faking now

Just a reminder that even though Marjorie Taylor Greene is absolutely correct that trump is unfit to hold office, she is a huge part of the reason he got back into office in the first place. Do not let these people rewrite history.

@SarahIronside6 @KwikWarren You don’t need to tell me. I know. She is only mad at him because he didn’t put her in his administration or didn’t endorse her to run for higher office like senator or governor.

@PoliticalMemes5 @DCinvestor Not arguing that Dems need to deliver more for middle-class Dems full stop! But Republicans hold their noses and vote and vote (R) every time. That is why they have all three branches and most statehouses. They know its better to intraparty fights once they are in power

@ObsidiusOne @DCinvestor There were third party candidates that were better for the American people than the Republican candidate, but the Democrats always try to sue to get them off the ballot. Why should blue collar Dems vote for the Democrats when they've blown us off for moderate Republicans?

@PoliticalMemes5 @DCinvestor Granted and unfortunate, but every one of them was better for the American people than the Republican candidate

@ObsidiusOne @DCinvestor Why vote for the Democrats when party leaders decide who will be the nominee and then put their thumbs on the scale to make that candidate wins the nominee. And the courts ruled that they can do this.

That was not Biden’s job. Literally begging you to take a civics course.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth. My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. democracydocket.com/cases/massachu…

@Mel_Ankoly Stewart and his ilk love Trump! He gives them endless content, they pretend to be outraged, which makes his victims feel understood. But they are rich and powerful enough not to be effected by his incompetence and evil. The perfect love triangle for them but we get fcked

This is going to haunt Jon Stewart for the rest of his life.

Biden's presidency was tormented by campus protests over Israel's war in Gaza and his reluctance to push back on it. They shadowed him at events Those protests have been virtually nonexistent with Trump amid the war in Iran. @Lauren_V_Egan looks into why thebulwark.com/p/the-campus-p…
