I’m not sure what the surefire way to win the election is but I am fairly certain a sure way to lose is to spend the next 4 months with Democrats talking about how much their candidate sucks and how we’re doomed

Thank you, @Paultx890 , for alerting us. The word is that Project 2025 may be taken down or altered bc *they*are realizing how the public is responding to it. So if you haven’t read it yet, make a copy. It’s in PDF format. Copy & download it before they sanitize it.

Congratulations to the Green Party on winning four seats - I know many people who wanted to vote for them but who decided to vote tactically - I think it could have been a much bigger night for them

When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.

As Noem said, there’s something to learn from every flood, and the people of McCook Lake learned a painful lesson: Neither hell nor high water will stop Kristi Noem from pursuing her own ambition at the expense of the people she serves. southdakotasearchlight.com/2024/06/27/f...

In fact I think one of the reasons that they're pushing so hard for all of this is that outside of efforts like these, the GOP would be on the cusp of becoming irrelevant at the national level

What are your thoughts on rewilding? Have you heard the term before? (I highly recommend following the amazing @irishrainforest.bsky.social for info + visuals/nature porn.)

Actually, they do until our current SHITUS over-rules them. It wouldn't hold in lower courts except in the Texas area. Of course, it would have to pass the senate and be signed by the President. AIPAC makes the odds of that happening high but not certain.
