We haven't even entered peak hurricane season yet. Lots of people dismissed the Cat 5 that unexpectedly underwent rapid intensification and hit Acapulco last year as a one-off, but it's looking like it's the start of a terrifying new "normal."
How long until a good portion of the state is uninhabitable? Not only is the western US running out of water, but a lot of insurance companies won't even offer policies because of frequent and unpredictable wildfires every year. Seems unsustainable.
It'll only get worse from here. The gap is 8 points among registered voters.
"Donald Trump is ahead of President Biden by six percentage points among likely voters in a new national survey. Overall, 74 percent of voters view him as too old for the job, an uptick since the debate."
How do people still not get that the failure to deal with the systemic issues that allowed for the rise of Trump will only bring us a worse, more competent Trump in 4 years? We've seen how this movie ends. Neoliberals will never substantively address the root causes of fascism.
"Officials said about 98 percent of the buildings on the islands, where about 6,000 people live, had been damaged or destroyed, including Carriacouโs main health facility [...] and its airport and marinas. As of Tuesday night, there was no electricity on either island, and communications were down."
It's not just Hunter. It's the entire Biden family doing this. It's almost like they'll lose access to power and influence if Genocide Joe drops out and they're adamantly opposed to that... ๐ค

This number is an underestimate. On the 24th of June, #SaveTheChildren published this๐ According to latest figures [...] more than 14,100 children have been killed [...] of whom 7,779 have been *identified*. [...] 6,303 have not yet been identified.
At this point, it's obvious that he's completely checked out and that it's his family calling the shots. They don't want to give up power and influence. This is all about them and their selfish ends; probably was in 2020, too. It's elder abuse being committed by a bunch of terrible people.
If you actually believe Project 2025 will be a thing, do you honestly think election results are going to stop them? I can just imagine a rich white liberal walking up to a cadre of armed chuds and being like, "Don't you know that what you're doing is illegal? I'm going to call the police!"
The irony is that milquetoast, compromised social democracy is the only thing that could have saved capitalism, just like in the 1930s. By choosing their grift instead, the DNC inadvertently decided to let the entire system burn down.
At least 88 unhoused people were killed in Maricopa County, AZ, between 2021-2023, and that's almost certainly an undercount, as it doesnโt include dozens of homicide victims whose housing status the county couldnโt confirm. Experts say the deaths are a microcosm of a worrying national trend.
The DNC is happy to lose. They want to be the faux opposition that fundraises off Trump. The goal isn't to enact policies that benefit us, it's to enrich the donors, consultants, and politicians. The only reason they're worried now is because the emperor having no clothes jeopardizes fundraising.
And to be clear, it's liberals and "progressives" that think this way, not the right wing cabal in the Dem establishment. They're more than willing to lose in the short term to preserve their control over the party. Chris Matthews said the quiet part out loud in 2020:
As a result, liberals have lost (or sacrificed) everything that they claimed they were acting to protect: welfare, abortion rights, labor protections, the environment, democracy, etc. They stand for nothing. Fascism is ascendant because of liberalism's failures.
Liberals weren't concerned with the consequences of electing Biden to office, because they were only focused on beating Trump. All they cared about was 2020, despite being warned that Biden's election would only ensure that a worse, more effective Trump would come to power. The same is true of 2024.
The right wing deliberately sinks their own candidates to discipline the Republican Party. They are willing to take short term losses to maintain ideological rigidity. Meanwhile, liberals dilute their "values," embracing war criminals in order to win THIS election.
If you're wondering how we got to this point politically, it's because liberals only think about the short term. The right wing has had a 50-year plan backed with infinite resources, while liberals operate in 4-year intervals, focused on protecting crumbs. It's chess vs checkers.
Not to mention that moving costs a lot of money. I don't see these clowns organizing community funds and support to help people trying to flee those states. They're content leaving them there to suffer and die, while simultaneously blaming them for what's happening.
โGet the heck out of Florida/Texas/Georgiaโ politics as if millions of people totally reordering their lives is more practical than asserting and fighting for the idea we should all have the same rights.
The Biden body count is already close to 800K between COVID and Gaza alone. Of course he's sacrificing lives. His entire career is built on a mountain of black and brown corpses. He wrote the Crime Bill, Bankruptcy Bill, and drafted the Patriot Act. Voted for DHS/ICE and the Iraq War, too.
When political violence does erupt, which is very likely coming from the right wing in the next 4-8 years, that's the kind of liberal that will be outraged, horrified, and do nothing about it but comply. Look at the replies full of people mocking the idea of needing to be armed for self-defense.
It doesn't matter whether you like him, or not. Assange's case opened the door to the prosecution of journalists. Instead of standing by principle, the media decided to propagate Russiagate conspiracies and left him to rot in Belmarsh. Now the state is coming after journalists here in the US.
People with 43K followers complaining about non-voters is why I think 99% of big accounts are trash and I ignore everything they say. They're punching down and running cover for the clowns in power that need to be held accountable. It's like seeing Harry Sisson throw a tantrum in text form.
Fixed that headline for you: "Moderna has received $176 million in taxpayer money that they will use to develop a bird flu vaccine, which will then be sold back to us for astronomical prices."
I think it's hilarious that liberals mock direct action and say dumb shit like, "Why aren't you firebombing a Walmart?" when they would be the very first to decry that kind of activity if it happened and label it as "terrorism." They couldn't even tolerate peaceful campus protests against genocide.
This is literally the same shit the Nazis did before industrializing murder. They would get soldiers to just shoot people into pits. They sent Jews en masse via train to camps to starve and die.
It was disgusting in the 40s and it's disgusting now.
The US government employees who have publicly resigned in protest of the Biden administrationโs Gaza policies released a joint statement on Tuesday for the first time.
Makes my skin crawl that these people have to spend the twilight of their lives being denied justice by people who werenโt even alive when they were brutalized and that what were supposed to be the best years of their lives was stained by an overt rejection of justice.
It's fucking wild that there are left-adjacent people on this app that reject intersectionality. Trying to disentangle race, gender, and class is how you end up with a flawed, incomplete analysis that replicates the core problems of contemporary US liberalism.
Your presumptive nominee is currently losing almost every swing state. He's losing New Hampshire and Nevada. He down to 1-2 points in New Jersey, Minnesota, Maine, and New Mexico. There is no electoral math where Biden manages to win. That is literally how it works. Welcome to reality.
