Inflation mattered, but not as much as democracy itself. Every election denier governor candidate has lost, with the exception of Lake, whose race hasn’t been called yet (she’s trailing but she might come back)

If Republicans take the House, it will be SOLELY through gerrymandering, since they got to redistrict. If they win, it will be something like 1-2 seats, and would be almost entirely because of DeSantis’ new map in Florida.

Yeah basically as soon as Republicans go “CRIME! ECONOMY!” Democrats just instantly roll over and run to the right.

Oh, a bunch of folks will definitely commit election and voter fraud because they’re so convinced Democrats are already doing it.

Definitely already happening, a woman on one of the election boards was SO CONVINCED there was fraud going on that she went online and requested a bunch of military ballots under various names and had them sent to a state election denier and told her she did it, now the woman is charged with fraud 😂 

Very much so. As soon as you see those big paychecks coming in, the tax man is the enemy.

Yeah I don’t get how he can expect his competitors to literally have over all their marketing data to him.

It’s not a Dem messaging problem, it’s the fact that these bills take anywhere from 3-5 years or more to kick in, but the House is elected every 2 years. There’s no way for the government to work fast enough for people who pass bills to have their voters see what they did. 

Voters don’t reward politicians based on their actual performance, they reward politicians based on how they CAMPAIGN about their performance. That’s why Republicans consistently overperform compared to how they actually govern. All they do is campaign on how great they are.

Ain’t no team gonna take him after that anti-semitic shit. Some team that’s tanking might take him to buy out his contract and let him go, but no one’s gonna want him to play for them, at least not for a WHILE.

There has to be something else going on here. They wouldn’t just immediately yank her because Tucker Carlson said some mean things. If that was the case, they’re going to have to pull every Black pundit on their station because Carlson will go after all of them

Finding out that so many people consider him a piece of shit is going to melt his brain.

I’m just happy the blue-check thingy is getting delayed until after the elections. The chaos that could cause the day before the election was a big concern for me. Limping through this election with what’s left of the blue check program will be helpful for democracy. 

The part she’s leaving out is that DePape didn’t have a gun. It’s almost like California’s gun control laws make it really hard for psychos like him to get one. 

Ironically, if he’d hit the guy, he might have been more likely to go to jail, because he was shooting a person in the back while they’re running away

Black Twitter will wind up elsewhere, but not sure where. Not sure which social media platform most closely replicates how Twitter works. Black Mastodon? Black Discord? I dunno.

So sad. Like, what was even the point? They got called because there was a car the resident didn’t recognize (who tf calls the cops cos they don’t recognize a car? Wtf) and when he woke up he drove off, which literally solves the problem the cops were called for. So why open the door and pull him out?

It’s been a historical issue with doctors and nurses thinking Black people have a higher “pain threshold” than everyone else, and therefore require less medication, less rest, and that they’re just complaining when they talk about being in pain. It was even in a lot of medical books, all the way up until maybe a…

I think the big problem with Kyrie and Kanye’s antisemitism is that they want to be seen as geniuses, and one of the things that makes someone a “genius” is that they see things other people don’t. So they start buying into these conspiracy theories and stringing these conspiracies together to show that they’re seeing…

“At one point, the film cites Henry Ford’s four-volume book, The International Jew (The first volume is subtitled The World’s Foremost Problem). A quick history lesson: The legendary automaker’s disdain for Jews was so intense that even Adolf Hitler praised him for it in Mein Kampf. Even more chilling, the documentary…
