@TravisBShaw17 @ck3268 @JamieMetzl Ahhhh, someone who can read and comprehend. I salute you.

@ck3268 @FrankMarvel12 @JamieMetzl Yeah…A majority of whites voted against him both times.

Great that the DNC has released is internal autopsy of what went wrong in the 2024 campaign, If it’s not clear enough, here’s what went wrong: 👉 everyone in America could see that Joe Biden did not have the physical or mental capacity to complete a second term. 👉 few people in the Democratic Party had the wherewithal to demand that Biden announce he will not seek reelection and that there needed be a competitive primary. 👉 by waiting so long to drop out after the disastrous debate performance from which there was no return, Biden destroyed the possibility of a competitive primary. 👉 by anointing Kamala Harris with no competitive primary, the party ensured that no one other than hard-core Democrats would understand why she was the nominee. 👉 by failing to differentiate herself from any policies of the Biden administration, Kamala Harris made herself the ultimate establishment candidate when the electrate wanted change. 👉 by failing to separate herself from the madness of the far left, Kamala Harris became the de facto far left candidate. 👉 in large part, the American people hated woke so much they were willing to elect a convicted felon rather than someone they perceived as being aligned with the crazies. It shouldn’t take 200 pages and months of internal civil war to make clear what went wrong and how we Democrats need to do better going forward. If we don’t kick the bigoted far left skunks out of our big tent, they will spoil the party. If we don’t have a positive vision for all Americans that fills people with hope and a sense of common purpose, there will be no reason for people to support Democratic candidates other than antipathy to Donald Trump and his many minions. I believe the Democratic Party has the potential to rejuvenate itself, but only if it learns very serious lessons from our catastrophic failures.

@ck3268 @JamieMetzl It never fails. I can always count on one of you posting that when I make this point. So, I’ll ask you my standard question. Is it ignorance on your part, or a reading comprehension problem?

@FrankMarvel12 @JamieMetzl Huh? President Obama

@RpsAgainstTrump Yeah, Cornyn. And yet, your political career is coming to a screeching halt. Maybe you should have tried standing up to him. You would still lose your career, but not your reputation. Your grandkids will be so proud.

Sen. Cornyn reacts to Trump endorsing Paxton: “I have worked closely with President Trump through both of his Presidential terms and voted with him more than 99% of the time. He has consistently called me a friend in this race. It is now time for Texas Republican voters to decide if they want a strong nominee to help our GOP candidates down ballot and defeat Talarico in November, or a weak nominee who jeopardizes everything we care about. I trust the Republican voters of Texas.”

@GovChristie You’re Goddamn right.

Bill Cassidy voted his conscience on impeachment, then spent five years sucking up to Donald Trump. He was the deciding vote for the most unqualified HHS Secretary in my lifetime, a guy laying ruin to the public health system, all to get Trump's favor. Message to my fellow Republicans: you're not going to get his favor. It doesn't work that way.

@TheAncientMil @AndrewDesiderio Yeah, the Branch Davidians and People’s Temple are doing well these days too.

@AndrewDesiderio What they needed to learn is that the Republican Party is dead. We are MAGA now and any bullshit RINO is getting kicked to the curb.

Senate Republicans are livid with Trump. Just now, Sen. Wicker remained stone-faced (appeared to be intentional) for about 20 seconds as he walked into lunch and we asked him for his reaction Sen. Murkowski says TX is all but lost to Dems now

@RpsAgainstTrump How many times do we have to win this war?

BREAKING: Trump warns Iran that “the clock is ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them.”

@NormOrnstein It can’t just be as simple as the fact he is a very weak person who is afraid to lose power, so he climbs up into any lap that keeps him relevant?

Someday we will find out what turned Lindsey. It will not be pretty

@AmandiOnAir When the Supreme Court interfered in the Gore V Bush election and stopped the vote count.

What was the year it became obvious to you that things were starting to fall apart? The easy answer is 2020, but I think it was a lot earlier than that. Some say 2001, but I think 2015 was when it was clear we had a real problem — and every year since has seen further erosion.

@farhip @NormOrnstein Yep, so gratifying to watch Tillis and Cassidy, who both knew better, see their careers come to a screeching halt after trying to suck up to Trump because they pissed him off for something. When you sell your soul, you are supposed to get someting in return, I beleive.

Footnote: Tillis’ vote to confirm Hegseth as defense secretary brought the tally to a 50–50 deadlock after R senators Collins, McConnell and Murkowski joined Dems in opposing him. His vote allowed VP Vance to cast the tie-breaking vote, confirming Hegseth.

@RpsAgainstTrump Thoughts and prayers, Bill. You sold you soul and got nothing in return.

Senator Cassidy spent the last few years after voting to convict Trump in the impeachment trial doing everything he could to get back on Trump’s good side, including casting the deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary despite knowing full well he was utterly unfit for the job. And in the end, it didn’t even help him. He’s now likely to lose the primary to a Trump-endorsed MAGA loon. Turns out surrendering your principles to please Trump gets you nowhere.

@EdKrassen @StephenM I disagree. He knows Trump’s an idiot But he’s a useful idiot for a racist. Just like he’s a useful idiot for Putin.

@StephenM Stephen, I feel bad for you. You are in a cult but you have no idea. History will though.

Khanna is among the most radically liberal anti-MAGA extremists to be found in all of Congress. This is the equivalent of being endorsed by Rachel Maddow.

@TheSWPrincess @RennieThomas4 @Mel_Ankoly We might be in the minority of white people, but there are some of us who are appalled and ashamed. And I’m long past the days of saying, “this is not who we are.” We elected him twice. It’s exactly who we are.

@FrankMarvel12 @RennieThomas4 @Mel_Ankoly Thank you both. I'm so fucking tired of POC being scapegoated while white Trump voters gay a pass.

We wouldn't be here if more than half of Hispanic voters had voted on Nov. 5, 2024.

@RennieThomas4 @TheSWPrincess @Mel_Ankoly Yes. Usually some Orange cultist will post “what about Obama?” to that fact. Reading comprehension is not their strong point.

@TheSWPrincess @Mel_Ankoly As a white person, I am embarrassed and appalled by this fact.

@TheSWPrincess @cwebbonline @Mel_Ankoly You are so right. The majority of white people have only ever voted for a white male for president, and the Democrats have not won the majority of the white vote since 1964 when they passed the Civil Rights Act. The blame lies with us.

@Mel_Ankoly I'm so tired of people (especially white people) ignoring the fact that white people are Trump's biggest voting block. Deal with your own group before you point the finger at POC.

@DineshDSouza What a fucking idiot. Most of them were owned by Southern White Conservatives, the same people who created the KKK and the same people who are Trump’s primary supporters. Political ideology and party affiliation are two different things.

Of 4 million slaves in America in 1860, fewer than 10—not 10%, the number 10—were owned by Republicans. More than 90% of the slaves were owned by Democrats. This crushing fact is left out of the textbooks, unreported by NPR, PBS & the History Channel. Yet it’s undeniably true.

@WhiteHouse “What can we give J.D. to make him look even more ridiculously than he already does so he never has a chance to become president? Hey, how about fraud? The only ones who won’t know it’s a joke are the cult.”

The Trump administration has made it loud and clear to all states: if you commit fraud, you will lose medicaid funding.

@hwinkler4real I so hope it’s true. What a better world this will be for those of us left behind.

I’m shocked

@Timodc They know what the outcome will be when they cast their votes. They have cover in their states from an unpopular war, but they know it will still pass.

Susan Collins, Jon Husted, Dan Sullivan, Pete Ricketts are going to regret this vote.

@CyanStevie @SarahLongwell25 Ok. Going with both ignorance and reading comprehension. I could educate you in a few words but I find that never matters with people who just don’t want to understand. Go back. Read really slow. Understand what I said. Then google it if you don’t believe I’m right.

@FrankMarvel12 @SarahLongwell25 Yup you said white man, and Obama ran as a black man…

You can keep saying Kamala lost due to a single day of campaigning with Liz Cheney, but it will never be true. She lost because Dems renominated an unpopular 82 yo while inflation was high and realized what a disaster it was too late and plan B was mid.
