Sadly, there’s a lot of people with a lot of power in the party who’d rather lose than do that.

Do you hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability.
I am honestly completely indifferent to Biden pardoning Hunter. My beef is with the media. This impacts the life of 1 person: Hunter Biden. They’re giving it wall to wall coverage because it’s drama and they’re reality TV calling themselves journalists.
Trump: Filling his cabinet with conflicted individuals and loyalists, many of whom have had legal troubles and been pardoned by him.
Biden: Pardons a family member who has never held government office for a drug-related offence.
And which story dominates the news cycle? The media is more than complicit in the resurgence of fascism in this country.
I work for the federal government, and there most definitely are ways to make it more efficient. However, everything I’ve seen from Musk and Ramaswamy only sound like ways to cut productivity while leaving spending pretty much untouched. Maybe that’s what they actually want, I dunno.
Nooooo you can’t give workers competitive offers for employment, you’re supposed to collude to keep wages low! Actually competitive capitalism loses us money!

Serves them right.
Well shit, Janelle, maybe you should have asked the lava frog before posting his picture on Twitter.

I expected someone to be evangelizing for Linux as an alternative to enshittified Windows.
Shocked this thread is an hour old with no mention of Linux. Whoopsie.
Maybe. I’d prefer we give her a year or two to see how progressive she’s going to be. We’re forced to work within the Democrat party for now, and if we’re seen as a bunch of malcontents, centrist Democrats will see that as an excuse to reach out to more “gettable” moderates and conservatives instead
Biden calling Trump voters garbage was a gaffe. His own office walked it back. It’s way easier to depart from the president on a throwaway line than on a year-long policy that an all-too-large and ignorant chunk of the population still supports.
I’m not satisfied with her public position on Gaza so far, either. But, since the notion that Trump will make anything better is ridiculous, the only plausible course is to get her in office and then pressure the shit out of her.
And in case anyone’s thinking it, the idea that Jill Stein successfully spoiling into a Trump victory somehow means he’ll take her foreign policy advice is magical thinking.
I agree. I’m just hoping they’ve made the calculation that remaining ambiguous on Gaza is a better electoral strategy, and once in office she doesn’t intend to spit in the faces of her base the way Biden has.
It’s her or Trump, and there’s zero chance Trump will make things better, so anyone who cares about Gaza and has a realistic outlook on the situation should support Harris.
Can’t remember at the moment what it’s called, but there’s a law making it illegal for the US to support war crimes. If the president ceased aid to Israel on those grounds, congress would have to be unusually united to override it. Not saying it couldn’t happen, but it’d be a difficult fight to pick when Israel is being so brazenly genocidal.
