You’re entitled to that opinion; I’m entitled to disagree with your opinion.

You knead to leave this sub

Bruh, chill

I was with you until the sentence you concluded with, which is frankly categorical bullshit.

Yeah it me

🥵

Cry more, shitfucks <3

It’s cute that you think laws matter to the fascists.

That’s the entire point of what I’m trying to point out here. You’re stuck on what “legality” means. I’m saying they’re changing the definition.

He’s proving the point that the DNC has denied for well over a fucking decade: stop listening to money, start listening to people, and you will win. That’s it. That’s the whole argument.

And the DNC establishment is scared shitless, because they know it’s working, and they know more people are gonna run campaigns like he’s doing, and there’s gonna be a sea-change in terms of what the fuck the Democratic Party is (that, or a third party is going to spawn and absolutely fucking crush the DNC).

The neoliberals are looking down the barrel of a gun right now, and they know they put themselves there.

lol cool so he just said the quiet part of the playbook out loud.

For those in the back: he’s gonna get the US in to a Serious Fucking War right before the next election so that he can pretend he’s got justification to call off elections.

Pay no mind to the fact that FDR won his third term at the peak of WW2.

Come to think of it: that’s probably why he wants to do it: he knows he probably can’t win another election (putting aside the illegality of running and serving for a third term), and doesn’t want to think about himself being overshadowed by “some old librul Democrat from the 1940s”. And yes, that is a completely serious guesstimate on orangeboi’s rationale for this.

good, that means it’s working

I’m gonna be frustrated (though not surprised) if the response is anything other than this.

Oh no it’s alienating the (mythical and fictional) centrist voters!!! We don’t want to offend the republicans! Let’s stop.

I think you’re right. I also think one side (the not-fascists) refuse to see or understand that, and it’s starting to look a whole fucking lot like the vast majority of them are going to surrender without any real fight - legal, political, or otherwise. And yes, “otherwise” is definitely doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

I don’t fucking care about the DNC’s money problem. At this point, I will donate to specific progressive politicians, and that is it. The establishment and the national org fucked us one time too many. I’m fucking done.

Newsom is an asshole… but he’s also one of the vanishingly few politicians that actually seems willing to fucking do ANYTHING to push back against orangeboi and the fascists.

I think the appropriate reaction to this obvious intimidation tactic is for Newsom to order the CA NG to provide security to voting locations and political events like this that are likely targets of the regime. Yes, that could be construed as escalatory, but West Virginia and three other states sending their fucking troops to DC is also escalatory. So sure, I guess we’re playing that game now. Fucking hell.

Just because I like that gif too:

The appropriate response from constituents to the senator saying this is “get a real job you fucking asshole”

Looks like muesli, fruit, berries, and milk and/or yogurt. It’s a nice breakfast - I make something like that myself sometimes
