It’s a shame I’m not allowed to have them for my house and car. Instead I need to pay exponentially more for less. Because we only believe in the free market when it screws consumers.

They handed her a Senate seat, tried to stack the deck in her favor against Obama, insisted she be Secretary of State to build her resume, intimidated everyone out of running against her in 2016, now they’re trying to just appoint her nominee over an incumbent. WHAT DIRT DOES SHE HAVE.

I will never, ever understand what Clinton has on the Democratic Party that they’ve been trying to make her President for nearly a decade despite the American electorate making it very clear that we’re not interested.

These morons are floating Clinton! They want to kick out the guy who beat Trump in favor of the woman who lost to Trump! Because they think the one who didn’t beat Trump has a better chance of beating him! This is real life!

I’d have argued against giving up the incumbent advantage either way but yeah, ideally before the primary is the time for these questions. You know, before everyone voted. So you wouldn’t be arguing to nullify a fair vote for the sake of democracy.

It wouldn’t be as bad if every criticism back-bench Democrat moderates made of Biden that apparently disqualifies him from getting votes wasn’t true of Trump but moreso and all the time.

Anyway Lingo is infuriating because it’s got a golden snitch thing going on, the entire game is meaningless because the very last word is worth so much.

At least I’m changing it up by being increasingly furious that the Democrats have spent weeks actively campaigning against their own candidate while the Republicans just sit there quietly and watch.

There’s a lot of awful stuff going on in the world, but I think we can all agree that RuPaul’s fake laugh is up there on the list. Not his real laugh, specifically the fake one.

First Vogue Editor: There’s no trust in journalism and political coverage is consistently missing the mark. How can we fix it? Second Vogue Editor: I’ve got it. Let’s hire a Kennedy with no journalism experience who does silly TikToks. First Vogue Editor: I was thinking the same thing. Brilliant.

It really is grotesque that we have to tolerate, and accept as fellow citizens, these despicable subnormal freaks who delight in evil and threaten everything that makes America great with their sick fantasies. On the other hand honestly the furries can be kind of irritating too.

Exactly! You can know your candidate isn’t the best and still focus on the positive and make a case. You use what you’ve got to do the best job you can! It’s not ignorance or naïveté, it’s pragmatism. If you refuse to try unless things are perfect nothing will ever get done.

People used to fighting for something rather than defending the status quo—Black people, progressives, etc.—know a terrible idea when they see it. Unfortunately that does not describe much of the Democratic Party.

Adam Liptak should be fired for this. It's not some sort of minor technical error or a debatable issue. He's simply lying.

I mean, look at how much Biden's poll numbers have dropped since major figures in his own party decided to put all their effort into telling America what a terrible candidate he is!

We have to replace Joe Biden because he's old and seemed confused during a debate! Otherwise people will vote for Donald Trump, who's the same age and seems confused and angry at all times including during the same debate!

Level-Headed Centrist Politics Knowers: We need to change horses midstream because the President’s polling dropped after weeks of us publicly disparaging him! Naive Outsider Progressives: Actually I’d rather campaign for our nominee and try to win.

I’m 2016, when an openly racist, rambling lunatic with no experience was poised to win the nomination, the Republican Party united to support him. They won. In 2024, when the incumbent had a bad debate five months before the election, the Democratic Party publicly criticized and attacked him.

The center-right corporate Democratic donors had been waiting for their chance and jumped on the debate as the impetus, because they want someone who will stop trying to enforce laws against them. I can't think of another reason to want Clinton, who lost to Trump, to replace Biden, who beat him.

My new conspiracy theory is that the old guard establishment centrist Democrats are leading the charge to force Biden out because of all the antitrust suits he's filed against huge corporations, and that's why the young progressives who've disagreed with Biden his whole term aren't on board too.

I just called Rep. DeSaulnier's office and asked him to support it. I'm confident he will, after his health scares he went all in on putting principles ahead of political machinations, but the caucus as a whole tracks phone calls to gauge public support.

"Democracy leads to socialism" is pretty much what Marx said, if you don't filter it through Russian and Chinese dictators' versions that justified letting them dictate, so… well spotted? I mean it's not shocking if you let people be self-determinate they'll use public resources on the public.

I was in school 30 years ago and we absolutely did not sit quietly and learn, I don’t know what rose-colored fugue state these people are in. And I did know a kid in elementary school with a peanut allergy until he had to be homeschooled because the school wouldn’t make itself less risky to him.

Nancy Pelosi is older the Joe Biden, which may explain why she’s saying this after he already decided.
