They strongly argue that empathy will be the undoing of society. It’s a pretty common thing in conservative echo chambers. They’re about targeting vulnerable to maintain their status as an in-group, and are totally absorbed in their self-interest, even though most of them will never be part of the Epstein class.

Least charismatic politician. Trump dying would derail MAGAs grab for total power, or at least set it back.

They’ve all but lost the Hispanic vote. They discovered that the Leopards are actually eating their faces.

It’s easy to “care” about a fetus you actually have to put no effort into having a relationship with and can’t even interact with. It makes them feel noble without having to do anything. Meanwhile, screw children post-birth!

Give them all the rights in the world when they’re still in the womb, let them suffer when they’re born.

Christians didn’t even care about abortion prior to the GOP weaponizing it as a political tool to tempt religious wackos into their party.

The modern eugenics/Christian death cult movement. It wasn’t strong enough and god wanted it.

Those who thought fascism was cool will soon find out the truth.

I want all the “extreme stuff” though.

You what’s extreme? Valuing money and property over human life. Capitalism will always degenerate and lead to alienation and social degeneration of the working class in favor of the capitalist class. Money is the root of all evil.

They are transparent about their beliefs. The working class absolutely needs to seize power and put the capitalist class under their thumb. Lest we become a fat, lazy nation dying from heat stroke in an Amazon warehouse while AI takes over most jobs. Don’t think for a second whether they care that you live or die. And they bought off the majority of our government.

Germany letting the AfD Nazis take over again.

Their main export: Genocide.

What good is it if my state candidate is republican-lite and just sides with the GOP on shit like this?

32 of these are apparently up for re-election.

Any appropriate action to take here? As a North Carolinian, I’m stuck with Don Davis. I wonder if it’s any good to vote in these establishment Dems if they’re just going to go full GOP on us anyway. I’m not even sure if the alternative is going to be worse or better.

Fuck man, I wish 3rd parties were viable.

This guy needs a missile pointed at his face.

Our “checks and balances” are nothing but paper machê walls. We don’t prevent corruption or punish public servants. We don’t go after rich people bribing politicians. We should be stripping both of their wealth and publicly humiliating them. We should be preventing those in public office from having outside financial interests. We should be able to recall representatives regardless of how much of their term they have left. SCOTUS judges need term limits.

What the founders set up 250 years ago is irrelevant to the present. They would’ve never seen this coming, and they were too concerned with the property rights of male, slave-owning property owners.

Well, we have an executive branch that doesn’t care about the law. He’s a felon, rapist, pedo and kleptocrat who only cares about using tax dollars to enrich himself, since he’s a failed real estate mogul and a loser.

They’re going to pass the SAVE act if they go back into session, and a handful of Dems will support it to please their conservative districts.

A Dem elected by conservatives is just a GOP plant.

It just isn’t the politician themselves. El-Sayed is a winner because of his platform, and he isn’t bought off by AIPAC and the corporate establishment.

That’s all the people want. They want representation that actually represents their interests, not more corrupt establishment politicians that take orders from oligarchs and corporate boardrooms.

They don’t want drone strikes, wars on false pretenses, bailouts of financial institutions, genocide, half-assed capitalist attempts at healthcare reform, and zero accountability for corrupt politicians. When Bernie came along and said we need to remove money from politics. DING DING DING we have a winner!

That was NOT Hilary or Kamala.

I’ll keep voting blue, because I don’t have a viable choice and I don’t want to cast my vote directly for fascists. Not voting is just another vote for fascism. But damn, we need better candidates. With “allies” like Hakeem Jeffries, who needs enemies?

Why open your wallet, Muskrat? You know the voting machines really well.

With Congress, the GOP and dempublicans will just keep passing more stuff that hurts us.

No one is telling anybody not to vote. I think most of us here, if not all, are going to vote. And most will probably be voting blue, despite objections of a lot of us having establishment dem candidates.

We just don’t have a lot of confidence in how this is going to turn out. It doesn’t look good at all.

He’d be a terrible as a socialist politician. Corrupt and inept. It’s people like him that allow the right to paint the left with a broad brush.

Unfortunately, California can’t seem to escape the constant succession of shit governors.
