I'm sorry, I will not vote for any Democrat that takes money from a fucking Nazi.
AIPAC doesn't leave a lot of names available.
Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn't like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.
At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?
We got here because Harris cared more about continuing the genocide than beating Trump. It's Democrats' fault for choosing to lose. He only got 49.9% of the vote, after all.
So you'd better make sure Musk doesnt make Liz Cheney the next Democratic nominee or I'll vote PSL again, because I'll choose to die before I vote for fascism.
I'm in Australia so I don't need to make sure of anything over there, but I wish you all the best.

Not voting for the Dems WAS voting for fascism in 2024.
Harris's stance on Israel.was bad. You know who is much, much worse? The person assholes like you empowered by throwing away your vote. And yo7 do this all the fucking time.
If 1% of the Green Party voters in Florida in 2000 had voted for Gore, Bush would never have been President, and all the bullshit that's resulted from that nightmare wouldn't have happened, and the country wouldn't have shifted to the right.
It's never Democrats fault that they lose, it's only the voters fault for not being loyal enough.
Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed.
How incredibly short sighted. Parroting the dumb shit the algorithms plastered everywhere. Don't misunderstand, it was a choice between eating a turd sandwich and accepting fascism but you decided you're too noble to eat shit so now we'll all live in it.
If you would stop eating shit for even one election cycle the Uncommitted Movement would have been able to force the Democrats to break with Israel. Democrats love Israel, and genocide, but if they knew for sure that they could never win any elections by supporting Israel they'd stop doing it.
Presuming they actually want to win, of course.
But because voters keep eating shit the Democrats were assured they could ignore the Uncommitted Movement and still beat Trump. And then they lost. And now elections are probably over forever and we'll have to do something else now, so this argument is pointless.

I feel like the people not voting made it 100% clear what they were looking for. If they're the deciding factor in who wins the election, maybe it was a massive fuck up to ignore them?
If it's too small a group to matter, then stop focusing on them as the reason Dems lost. If they're a major factor in the election, Dems should treat then that way.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.
I wonder how many times his attorneys have explained to him the concept of incriminating yourself in advance of retaliation.
He's got away with everything so far.Why should he start caring about the law now? Legal, illegal, that's for the poors to worry about.
Not like it really matters anymore:(
Trump can say and do whatever he wants. It's his lawyer team to make sure he doesn't under court oath. For example, Trump's entire life and the amount of days he hasn't been in jail.
Sometimes I think about how if any previous president had done, over the course of their entire career, the things Trump does in the average week, or sometimes even just a single day, it would have immediately ended their career. If a previous president had openly stated that if a specific person funded their rivals there would be serious consequences, that'd be it. They'd be done. Impeached on the spot, out of office, blacklisted by their own party, and shamed for all of history.
The news cycle crucified Obama for wearing a tan suit. They raked him over the coals because he was so out of touch that he asked a burger place if they had Dijon mustard. What do you think they'd have done if he openly promised retribution against those who dared disagree with him like this?
And Donald motherfucking Trump does this crap all the godamn time, and he just gets away with it because the Republicans like that it's their tyrant, the Democrats are afraid of actually doing anything, and by the time the public can mobilize against one thing he's already done three more things that make the past look trivial.
I don't get it either. And the only thing I've come to conclude is that I should hold those in my life who in any way provided support for Trump or to what led us here accountable. I don't know what that fully means either. Just that they'll be hearing from me that which should be directed at the president or others, but because they won't ever do it themselves they'll get it from me. Kick me out of your life then. On these grounds. They've already made their choices anyway.
They spent years saying that Obama was going to declare martial law and end elections.
Then, Trump supporters literally stage a coup and there are no consequences. They made Carter give up his peanut farm, but Trump can keep all of his shady illegal businesses?
Stop taking them seriously. Stop meeting them in the middle. Pacification and reaching across the isle is over (not that they ever participated in it), and they've dropped any pretense of believing in the constitution; that was only ever a political expediency to keep the left in check. Start demanding real changes with teeth, and if they whine, well, piss on em, those dumb fucks want Donald Trump to be king, who gives two fucks what those jerkoffs think?
The DNC leadership isn't afraid. The DNC leadership is doing exactly what it's paid to do.
Walz, AOC, Bernie? They are the real threat to the billionaires. I think it was MLK Jr who said that the greatest evil in America isn't a single side - it's the moderate. It's someone who doesn't actually care. The DNC is entirely and purposely made up of "moderates" to kneecap it. Any attempts to remove that moderate makeup get rejected.
It's controlled opposition. It's how tyranny thrives in the modern age. Make your opponent look weak, ineffective, but with people you control, so they don't happen to make any changes should they get any piece of legitimate power.
Also, golly gee thank god we avoided BidenSoOld/"GenocideJoe" and Kamala the Cop, because they would have been Just As Bad (TM).
Trans people, immigrants, etc fearing for their lives, being kidnapped to a foreign death camp, and going full conservationist on climate change is a lot bigger of a difference than 1.3%.
I would still be in the US if Kamala had won. I'm trans, latina, and in a w4w relationship. But in retrospect, I'm so glad I left
I'm still fucking tired of being treated as a political pawn by so called "leftists" who don't actually give a shit about intersectionality

Name one policy plank from Kamala's campaign that was going to make a meaningful impact to climate change. As I recall, she danced around the subject and offered a little drilling, as a treat. The democrats were already softening on trans rights, and, as I recall, the Kamalampaign shied away from saying anything pro-trans and simply yelled about how bad Trump would be instead. That was basically the whole campaign-- they had three moves:
Hey, Kamalampaign, we'd really like to see thing, what's your policy proposals on thing?
-
Uhhh... Well, you see, Trump is going to be much worse for you than we are.
-
Oh, look, it's a celebrity guest appearance! Everyone say hi to Katy Perry!
-
I can't believe that you'd have the nerve to even ask questions at a time like this, unbelievable that you'd even ask about thing when the alternative is Trump!
Which isn't surprising. That's basically how the HRC campaign played it ~~when they won in 2016 against Trump~~, and doubly unsurprising considering that the democrats didn't trust Kamala enough and decided to stick her with Hillary's extremely competent campaign leadership. There's no substance there, no promise or prospect of doing any better, no reason to vote for the candidate, just reasons to vote against the other one. I don't know who the fuck at the DNC got it in their head that that was a winning strategy, because to my knowledge, it is consistently a bad strategy in marketing, politics, business, and basically everything. And, well, they've won 33% of the times they've tried it, but by God, don't let a god awful track record get in the way of the democrats fucking it up again.
The IRA is getting gutted and Trump is trying to force coal plants to stay open. Even if Kamala did absolutely nothing, that would still be much better for the climate. 1.3% is not a big number.
I really need you to understand how absolutely cooked the democrats are and the rest of us along with them when the only vision for the future that the democrats will commit to is "we promise to just not be as bad as that guy lmao"

So much this. So tired of hearing how the Democrats are not perfect. They are a human institution, so of course they are not perfect. Whole lot of people letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Do I think Democrats can be pushed to do better? Like virtually every other Democratic voter, hell yes, I think so.
Do I think pretending both parties are virtually the same is some truly deep truth or even the least bit helpful? Not even a little bit. But I sure know that lots of people think "both sides" is a great shorthand to showing how insightful they think they are....sigh.

“They would have been worse! Kamala would have had higher tariffs!!” - my dad. He doesn’t believe me that tariffs are only a Trump thing… he doesn’t even watch fox. He mostly listens to news from Russia and Ukraine. And that guy on YouTube who sounds like a cartoon character.
And that guy on YouTube who sounds like a cartoon character.
That doesn't really narrow it down much...
A person in my neighborhood still has a TRUMP LOW PRICES KAMALA HIGH PRICES sign in their front yard, albeit partially hidden behind a bush. Unremarkable except they're black and living in a subsidized housing development. You just can't make shit like this up.

Democracy? Never heard of it.
It's insane that we've reached a point in the normalization of open corruption that he can now say something like that and not be immediately impeached by overwhelming majority of both parties. Even 6 years ago this alone would have never been seen as acceptable.
The consequences will be we have a Nazi party and a White Supremacist Apartheid party.
This isn't a threat. It's saying the quiet part out loud.
Money controls both parties. Elon Musk is just rich enough that if something slightly goes against his wishes he can fund something to support his wishes.
We're in a super fucked up cyberpunk dystopia where the richest fight for the worst outcome

Just waiting for the "Lock him up. Lock him up." chants. They have always been at war with Eastasia.
Nationalize his businesses that'll teach him
Amen, fellow MAGA! Let's also block his ability to fund the Dems with a campaign finance reform amendment! Then, when we really have Musk on the ropes, we'll hit him with a one-two punch, overturning citizens united and codifying the fairness doctrine into law. If he thinks he can steal the next election, he's got another thing coming! We'll slam him by replacing the electoral college with a ranked choice voting (or other better) system! He'll never know what hit him!
[Me, to myself]: "God, I hope this works."
How unfitting for a prez to threaten people publicly. GOOP has no shame.
By “fund” he means “rig election for”
Windows
Tea

Even Epstein’s lawyer said I had nothing to do with it. It’s old news.
Might not be the persuasive endorsement he thinks it is.
Both of these men are so stupid, it's a shame we reward liars, criminals and cheaters so much.
