    Didn’t Whitmer just get caught on a hot mic telling a billionaire that she’s “used to” ignoring the will of the voters? Fuck her. At least Republicans are honest about their contempt for us. Democrats lie to your face.

      Not that I’ve seen evidence of. There was an article posted from some right-leaning hack website that’s said as much in a title but when you read the article the quote they had could’ve been interpreted a bunch of ways and the most natural reading of it didn’t imply that at all. So until I see any evidence, that story is bullshit.

      Whitmer has done a lot of good for the state, but is imperfect, and it doesn’t really matter to me who she endorses because I’m supporting progressives in the primaries. I miss having politicians with bold, uplifting visions for the future I don’t care if “they can’t ever get that done.” Give me a thousand dreamers who can’t get it done over anyone who acts like it’s the oligarch’s world and we can only turn up the A/C on our slow descent into hell. And who knows — they just might lay the foundation to attain those dreams.

      Mamdani shows that it can be done.

      Jfc the Republicans are doing so much more shit than they admit to. Imagine what they could be doing that makes what they say out loud ok to them.

      Not defending whitmer but saying the GOP is better because they admit to some heinous shit is nonsense.

        In a way it kind of is, I’d rather someone be an open and honest fascist than a closet fascist/fascist collaborator. Easy to read intentions and I know to expect absolutely nothing from you but pain.
