@BonBonnie2O4 @KyleKulinski Trade protectionism WAS a left policy. But you guys are too deranged to remember anything before Trump entered politics. Leftists rioted in Portland and Seattle over the free trade agreements.

@therealmerkins @KyleKulinski Do you think people already forgot how terrible Biden was? Your response is just like when Kamala Harris took a picture in front of a gas station price sign. Then someone posted a picture of the same sign from 2024. Oops.

@KyleKulinski The more he fails the more they’ll try to disown him and failure for the bottom 98% is inevitable because his whole worldview is race to the bottom bull shit with extreme wealth consolidation at the top. His support stays 30% because it’s the golden age for unapologetic racists.

@Matt1063034 @KyleKulinski Cope for whom? Trump voters don't regret their vote. His top campaign polices were closing the border, deporting illegals, and overturning "free trade" agreements that were ripping off American workers.

@KyleKulinski That's the new cope. "It's not that I'm a fucking retard – It's not Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are secretly Democrats!"

@KyleKulinski Trump also got the majority of the 50 - 100 usd per year household vote. That's the lower working middle class. That used to be the base of the Democrats until they went goofy woke.

Fran Lebowitz: “The thing that makes New Yorkers the angriest about Trump is other people think he’s a New Yorker. New Yorkers don’t think that, we never thought that. He never wins New York. He never even comes here because he’s so hated. He’s afraid of New York, as he should be”

@markpoling I happen to have a problem with anyone that thinks that the VRA is a "disastrous misadventure" regardless of their skin color actually, it's just that most of them aren't members of the Supreme Court of the United States

@emptywheel @SubduedRadical How did he clean up Bush's mess? There was an extraordinarily slow recovery from the recession of 2008 -- which was caused by Dem dei policies on subprime lending.

@actingliketommy Yeah. I know. You accuse us of being racist. 🙄 All the Supreme Court said is YOU CANNOT USE RACE with the creation of congressional districts. Meanwhile, this is what according to us a perfect Supreme Court would look like ⬇️

So... you can't draw a district that gives black voters voting power but you CAN draw a district that takes their power away? Got it.

@actingliketommy That's not true. The ruling is that you can't draw districts to favor one race over the other.

@SenSchumer Nah. The SCOTUS ruled that it's illegal to use race to gerrymander. There's not a single GOP district in deep blue states like MA.

You have absolutely lost your mind. YOU were the guy who was supposed to get us PAST sorting people by race. You said judge people by character not color. Now you're calling it "voter suppression" when the Court strikes down a district drawn ENTIRELY BY SKIN COLOR??!! The "racial gerrymander" was YOUR SIDE'S MAP. The Court rejected it... and you're calling that racial gerrymandering?!!! That's an INVERSION OF REALITY. MLK is rolling in his grave reading this. He fought to STOP government from sorting people by skin color. You just defended doing exactly that. What happened to you, man?!!!

Barack Obama@BarackObama·
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@janilou0805 It's not an opinion. Police shoot suspects who will not drop a knife all the time. If you don't like it, you need to oppose the policy, not pretend that they don't do that. A knife is a deadly weapon. They generally don't use tasers against armed attackers.

@CraigvanCo Okay love, I’m really not but if it makes you feel better to believe that then I’m happy for you to think whatever you want! Your opinion means absolutely nothing to me because I have a life and I also worked for the police!

@BarackObama Wasn't the ruling that states CANNOT go too far with gerrymandering? This was over a district that is a corridor across LA.

@janilou0805 @JohnWight1 Yes. They can. You're speaking from ignorance. There are places where bodycam videos are posted. A knife is a deadly weapon just as a gun. They shoot suspects with a knife all the time.
