If you don't like anything else about Democrats, today they are the only party offering you the actual ability to vote them out of office if you don't like them. The other party is offering a theocratic dictatorship.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

This is my biggest fear, honestly, with Biden stepping down & running Harris. The US electorate has demonstrated a willingness to vote for Trump over a woman, often for loudly misogynistic reasons (yes, a different woman, but still, there’s always a reason—‘I’d vote for a woman, just not this one…’)

Speaking as a semanticist, it's wild to me that they are phrasing it in terms of whether an *act* is characterized as "official", when what they seem to actually be talking about is whether there exists a *description* of the act that can be characterized as "official".

I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

I have twice seen accellerationism on my feed advocated for by ostensible leftists and I feel like it needs saying: Accellerationism is one of the single most evil, cancerous schools of thought to mutate simultaneously out of the extremes of political thought. It is absolutely vile right through.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

There is no constitutional text that says presidents are immune from all criminal law. Nor was it the intent of the authors of the Constitution or any amendments. It is inconsistent with American precedent and tradition. They just made it up.
