Yeah, ironically, want to shift the party to the left? Have Biden win in a landslide so Ds hold the Senate and the Progressive Caucus is the margin of control in the House. Then we get 2021-2022 with rockets attached due to Sinema, Manchin, and Carper being gone.

Just saw someone post that they want Biden to lose by a landslide in order to force the Democratic Party to change What year is it? Because I've seen this same argument against Clinton in 2016 and Gore in 2000 A huge loss WOULD change the party, but probably not in good ways

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

We used to have less court districts too! We have expanded the amount of court districts without expanding SCOTUS which oversees them (and has justices that have responsibility over a district or two). Why not just expand the court to 13 so it's one to one again?

The article is garbage. Joe just signed a Parkinsons bill, that's taken a year to run through congress. It's mentioned 0 times in the article. Also, the expert is an expert in movement disorders, and Biden was having trouble with neuropathy in his feet. And lastly, his gait was checked & no signs

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

There's a legitimate amount of Biden Replacement news in every outlet but if news orgs choose not to run stories getting Republicans on record on whether they agree with a mainstream Republican calling for executions it will be the natural endpoint of the media's longstanding pro-GOP selection bias

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Project 2025 itself should be a big I ongoing story, and the Trump bigwigs lying about having nothing to do with it should be a big story on top of that. Instead the media is gonna accept the disavowal at face value and write another story about Biden being old.

I believe someone responded to me and then blocked me by sarcastically saying that the average person has their opinion zig zag around based on headlines. I don't think that, and I don't know why they think I think that. It only takes a 1 or 2 point change in the election to make a difference

I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

That's generally how it works when you've got an incumbent. He won the primary in 2020. Now you get to choose between him and the guy who won among the other side. Thems the breaks. Doesn't make not voting any more effective at making a difference

Look, I see you've bought into the boycott mentality, that candidates are somehow incentivized to have as many votes as possible, just like companies want as many buyers as possible. No, they want more votes than the next guy and non voters are picky and hard to get. Not voting only hurts your cause

Did you watch Trump in the debate? That's the other option right now. That's it. And that's because there are only 2 candidates that are on enough ballots and have enough support from the general population to win.

Nobody is gonna be perfect, but candidates will compete for votes that actually are available. If more people participated then less people would feel like the candidates are shit, ironically. You don't participate and help push to your side the whole thing can go the other way more.

There were several elections decided by just a handful of votes. Sounds like they do matter.
