a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Absolutely. He also seems to hold some core convictions contrary to the dem platform which is why he left the party. I think Jamelle's point later that he's a vain man does mean he'd suck it up and stick to the talking points.

You think Manchin would be able to stay on message or do you think he'd constantly be affirming Harris is secretly antifa despite being a prosecutor or whatever nonsense of the day is?

You also get unending articles re-examining supposed failures due to liberal bias such as the lab leak theory and somehow we don't get the same re-litigation when liberal conspiracies are proven right such as Trump ordering protesters gassed for a photo op

Feel like the political press are really failing to convey how big an operation this would be. More than 1 out of every 20 residents in the US. The entire metro area of New York. No way to do that humanely or with due process

So a bunch of doctors sue based on a loony bin theory of standing, the 5th accepts it, allows it to be the law of the land a while, then eventually the SC strikes down the nonsense theory of standing but gives religious conscience exceptions a boost. Not an untidy bit of legislative work there

There's a ton of indicators pointing to a disengaged conservative base. Two big ones being special elections and small dollar donors. This definitely supports that. Question becomes if enough casual GOP voters turn out anyways or young people stay home.

A pdf of text that ends up in someone's spam folder isn't going to change anyone's mind. Crazy that is a thing that has to be said. Biden should make a stink about revoking Trump's security clearance!

It's often scarier to imagine "bad stuff just happens sometimes" than to think it was all by design. A conspiracy means there is order to the world.

Blasphemy is generally disrespectful to God, particularly raising yourself or an idol to the same status. Heresy is having a belief different from the official canon or doctrine.

Biden holding a rally today and taunting Trump is the best possible thing he should do. Have Obama riff on him for like 30 minutes. Would probably spur trump to commit a dozen more crimes in anger
