                  he’s an ableist asshole (after making remarks about how his new wife gave him a ‘healthy and normal’ baby, when his first child has special needs). one of his co-stars was recently killed in a brutal, targeted, hate crime and the best he could come up with was a shitty instagram story (meaning it disappears after 12hrs) "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude. He played Ken Hotate in Parks and was also in Mag 7. Sad to see. Prayers up.

        Oh yeah.

        Beautiful, isn’t it?

        Mr. President, I think what we’re driving at is that you’ve taken congressional authority on trade and appropriations. You fired the heads of independent agencies. You’re challenging the courts right now, as you know. You’re using the levers of government to weaken private institutions like law firms and universities. Isn’t this seizing power away from institutions and concentrating them inside the presidency?

        No, I think that what I’m doing is exactly what I’ve campaigned on.

        Some questions later:

        Just remember, every single question you’re asking, I campaigned on it. I campaigned on all the things you’re talking about, all the things you’re asking about, and openly campaigned.

        People (and I’m using that term in the loosest descriptive way possible) like this are completely incapable of learning from their mistakes. Trump could have her shipped off to CECOT and keep her there until she died from the abuse, and her last words would be “no regrets MAGA lol are you triggered libs”

        As someone mentioned, it’s because Latinas rather than Latinos. Some people have used Latinx or something similar to denote both, but I saw some backlash on that and am not sure if it’s preferee. Anyway, historically Latinos denotes either male or just general pop, kinda like mankind does in English.

        Latinas on the other hand is specifically feminine, so it’s like “mothers against drunk driving” type organizations, specifically named to signify that it’s women. so they weren’t being sexist, just responding to the specificity in like manner.

          Voting to stop fascism is primordial and you cannot argue against that unless you are a fascist.

          You make it sound like there was no choice between fascism and normalcy.

          In fact, there was a choice to stop fascism but people decided not to vote because Israel.

          And now Israel is better off and the genocide will be fulfilled.

          With Harris, there would have been a status quo and a chance to stop the genocide. Trump and Israel are cut from the same cloth of fascism. So genocide on!!!

            Not voting in 2020 would actually have been the optimal outcome for the country. Objectively, we would have been far, far better off if a large number of Democrats had stayed home in 2020, allowing Trump to get a second term then instead of now. Democrats focused on short-term expediency by forcing Biden through. They won the election in 2020, but at what a terrible price. Instead of a flailing second Trump term with Trump as a lame duck, Democrats gave Trump four more years to regroup, strategize, and come up with Project 2025. Democrats chose the cheap and easy solution in 2020, and every one of us is paying for it now.

            Your strategy has some merit, but it fails in that it only considers short-term, rather than long-term thinking. Your victories end up temporary and ultimately Pyrrhic.

            Voting for today’s lesser of two evils only works if you’re a goldfish with no memory of history.

                There was such a law. Not a law of nature, but that’s a silly high bar that you’re imposing. It was widely predicted that Biden would fail to enact the changes needed to prevent a MAGA return. I remember thinking that would happen the day Biden won the election.

                Your post outlines the type of thinking that so damns us. You view every election as a completely independent event, as if they have zero influence on one another. Biden was a milquetoast centrist. He governed that way his entire adult life. It was eminently predictable, and many predicated, that he would fail to stop MAGA. Maybe you didn’t want to listen to those predictions, but that’s failing on your part.

                Your view is that voters are always to blame, and that if the party chooses a bad candidate, well the voters are still to blame. You expect voters to show up and vote D election after election after election, even if the party repeatedly fails to live up to its promises and betrays its voters time and time again.

                Sorry. Objectively, the best outcome would have been if Trump won in 2020. A Trump victory in 2020 would have been much, much preferable to one in 2024.

                But you view each election as an isolated event. Every election is the most important one in history, and we’re never allowed to think strategically long term.

                This short term thinking is why Republicans control the government. Republicans can think long term. Liberals like yourself can’t.

                Yes, they’ve tried for years. But they actually managed to properly plan it this time. Do you honestly believe there’s no difference between Trump in 2024 and Trump in 2020? They have completely different cabinets. Hell, we would have had Pence as VP. The administration is run by entirely different people. They were a lot more careful about selecting for avowed loyalists this time. Trump winning in 2020 would have completely denied them this chance to reorganize. We would have objectively been much, much better off if a second Trump term came in 2020 than in 2024.
