I've lost all respect for amerikkka. It's ruined everything when it comes to social media and is the reason the rest of us can't have nice things. I've been searching for new social spaces online becasue all the main ones are toxic piles of shit now.
Not everyone online is american, not everyone online hates who you hate. Some of us are just disabled and want to have pleasant conversations with people. We're not allowed to do that anymore.
Wait, are you telling me that wanted to be king makers for decades? Is it possible that they horribly misunderstood that phase?
Think about it. Twenty years ago, what king did they put into power? That's right, Steve King. It's the only explanation for anyone voting for him. I mean. I can't image another one.
Obviously, I'm joking, but the truth is, any state keeps Steve King in power can't be representative. Iowa only has four districts. If one quarter of their delegation to the HoR was Steve fucking King, they would have send world-class liberals next to him to even hope of being representative of the nation. But that world-class liberal doesn't exist.
Iowa's reps are almost always 3 R and 1 D. Until 2021, one of those Rs was Steve King. Iowa currently has 4 Rs in the house. I'm so glad we gave up the contest to win the hearts and minds of that state.
Not a bad idea, invite them in, drug them with sleeping pills, slit their throats, just like the European resistance did the first time we had to fight Nazi fuckheads.
This article isn't for.left folks... It's for those Rs who want a "strong" president. So media will do what ever they can to attack him to make him look weak.
They do the same.thing with Biden and his forgetfulness.
Then the party will see that they got "enough" centrists to vote for them to justify dumping anything progressive from the platform. And then lose both the house and senate in '26.
Yes, I'll vote for OG Neoliberal to attempt to stop Jerry Lewis Hitler for a third time, just as they chose to turn the water pumps on the Titanic knowing the ship was doomed either way to buy a few extra minutes.
It's funny how many true believers in our failed system then angrily declare that I must also love crime bill passing, social safetynet eviscerating, supply side economics propagating Biden, or I'm still somehow voting for Trump.
I turned out for Clinton, never seen the ballots so empty for a Presidential election, after making calls and primarying for Sanders.
I will turn out, but many will not with nothing to vote for, only against and that is the electorate's fault, not the disenfranchised. They have good reason to be.
