I’m gonna be real honest with you dawg, if you wanna replace the Democrat nominee months before the general I really question your desire for a Democrat victory.

Once I think you have no principles that’s gonna be my baseline perception of you anytime we interact in the future.

I dunno man… perhaps if you don’t like people suggesting that you have no principles maybe try and refrain from exhibiting that you do not.

Taraji P. Henson did a huge public service calling out Project 2025. Earlier today, Kevin Roberts, chair of Project 2025, threatened violence: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." It's Christofascism. Make no mistake.

It’s clarifying that people immediately turned the Court ruling - against what anyone with half a clue knows to be true - into “okay this gives Biden permission to drone strike the court” so they could smoothly turn it into a Democrat’s fault

“I’m depressed, I’ve heard the same things over and over” yes. we all live in the world. we’re grown-ups. to me, your doomer takes are things I’ve heard a thousand times. it seems to me that you have a choice: live in a world with hope, or one without one.

when you say to others that you believe positivity is empty, you are spreading despair. you have no more right to spread that than you do infectious disease I tolerated this sort of thing on Twitter, became a part of and an agent of it, and I will always regret this. despair ruins lives

people love to throw around the word “abuse” on this site, and I guess I’ll jump in there too: I think that colloquially, apocalyptic political doomsaying is a form of abuse (and I will drop the “colloquial” and say it’s literally so if you’re an Influencer/Important Person with fans)

you may not be able to “snap out of” depression due to the political situation, but you do not get to spread your despair to others, ESPECIALLY not by jumping into the mentions of multiple people who are trying to spread responsible, sober sensibility (I won’t even say positivity)

obviously no one is morally responsible for not being depressed. however, if you personally need help, you need to ask for that. help for *you* no one can magically the world other than it is. if you have despair, you have to fix the despair - venting “the world sucks” to everyone just spreads harm

I keep coming back to "all this for literally Donald Trump," but it fits. There's not some more competent aspiring autocrat who'd somehow "earn" or "win" this. This is how it has always gone: feckless/evil elites attaching themselves to the sociopath they believe will get them where they want to go.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton gave a speech in Wisconsin about the importance of the Supreme Court.
She warned that 2016 was "make or break" for the court—and the country.
National media—focused on her emails and Trump's antics—barely covered the speech.

Which has generated more New York Times app push notifications and front page headlines? Hillary Clinton NOT getting indicted for mishandling classified documents or Donald Trump actually getting indicted for mishandling classified documents? Why would that be the case?
