Talk about blaming the victim: many progressives and independents are furious with the Democratic Party. I would remind you that from the moment Kamala started her run, the Party worked its ass off to stop Trump. For the past 10 years, the GOP has done *nothing* but elevate him to godhood. Who should you hate more?
You may not like the resistance but you are part of it. Make it better! Not easy, is it?
We have to stop blaming anyone but Trump and the GOP. Stop fretting about positions, policies, mistakes, and “winning” voters. The opposition has ONE goal for the foreseeable future:
Punish the GOP next election and every election until we restore the Rule of Law.
Headlines like this one make me crazy. Is the Working Class distinct from the Middle Class? Do they overlap? Are there more “Working Class Voters” than any other group? This is bullshit.
The economic division everywhere is Rich vs Not-Rich. That’s it. The GOP is the party of the Rich — just look at the Cabinet. If you’re not Rich, what party represents you? If you say GOP, then you probably have some cultural issue other than the economy: abortion, race, religion.
If you believe in democracy, live and let live, the Golden Rule, and the pursuit of happiness, be a Democrat because no one else is going to represent you.
Trump claimed a mandate for “bold and profound change”, though at 1.5 points his winning margin in the popular vote was historically narrow and three points less than Joe Biden’s four years earlier.
Trump won the popular vote by 1.5 points last year, whereas Biden won it by 4.5 points in 2020. Trump’s electoral college vote count of 312 surpassed Biden’s vote count of 306 in 2020, but Barack Obama secured 332 electoral votes in 2012.
“Maga is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, Maga is explicitly a Nazi movement,” Kluwe, who was part of the Minnesota Vikings for most of his career, said. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that’s what it is.”
The executive editor of the Associated Press sent a letter to the White House on Wednesday criticizing its decision to block two of its journalists from attending press events on Tuesday after the outlet refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as “the Gulf of America”. “I write on behalf of The Associated Press, an independent global news organization that reaches billions of people every day, to object in the strongest possible terms to the actions taken by the Trump administration against AP yesterday,” Julie Pace, the AP’s executive editor, wrote in the letter addressed to Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff. “The issue here is free speech – a fundamental pillar of American democracy and a value of the utmost importance to all Americans, regardless of political persuasion, occupation or industry.”
The executive order says that the Second Amendment “is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans.”
In fact, it is the right to vote for the lawmakers who make up our government that is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans. …
The people who think that bearing arms is central to maintaining American rights are the same people who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election by storming the United States Capitol because they do not command the votes to put their policies in place through the exercise of law outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
