Well I'm pretty sure with a longer campaign he team would've figured out "I'll keep doing what Biden is doing" was a losing message and dropped it. I don't think there was any chance of them acknowledging the genocide in Gaza by Nov '24, because the general public hadn't come around on it by then.
I don't know if that would've changed the outcome.
Biden should've kept his promise to be transitional and let there be an honest to god Democratic primary.
I learned about hebophilia yesterday and today I started wondering if I'm supposed to be pronouncing ephebophilia as "ep-hebophilia" or was i right saying "ef-ebophilia"
jeeeeeesus
Jimmy Carter is a saint among demons as far as US Presidents go. I mean it's inevitable that some bad shit is gonna go down during almost any admin. But compared to the stuff other POTUS did willingly or proactively, c'mon...
The crazy thing is millionaires have more on common with us normal workers than they do with billionaires.
Hasan Piker was listing all kinds of "a million _____ is _____ but a BILLION ______ is [some ufathomably larger thing].
People don't understand multiplication very well...
They need to be running serious challenges in every state with a Senator up in 2026. None of this milquetoast compromise "conservative but not bigoted" bullshit that the Third Way / Democratic Leadership Council alumni like to do. Voters want bold, aggressive fighters for workers.
And for christ's sake can we screen for Nazi tattoos and death threat text threads please...?
I like the Gnostic explanation that the being who created the material universe was a lesser deity of some sort (I think they call it evil but I'd probably go with chaotic or something). It made people to have intelligent-ish beings to interact with, and it put the Trees of "Knowledge of God & Evil" and "Life" in the Garden (for some reason) but didn't want Adam & Eve to become knowledgeable & immortal.
In this telling, the "Serpent" is Jesus by which they mean the physical projection of the actual highest actually all powerful, all loving, etc etc god, and it wants to free A&E so it convinced them to eat the fruit.
Yes, but not right away.
We can see that during Trump 2.0 is taking longer but we are growing our opposition.
Remember the Muslim ban and the immediate reaction at airports in 2017? We're seeing similar things now (farther into the term) with reactions to ICE.
don't indulge his bullshit attempt to rename the DOD
Well the answer to "why did people still support Trump after Jan 6th" is actually "Jan 6th."
Those people that came to DC and walked to the Capitol and stormed out are Americans who were a) pissed off and b) willing and able to travel and march and attack on behalf of Trump.
That's not nothing in terms of power and influence. And it's indicative of a BUNCH of people who met condition (a) but not (b). Like probably an order of magnitude or more.
Since no Republican stepped up to steal those supporters from Trump by pointing out how absolutely un-American Jan 6th was, they stayed loyal to him. So the politicians followed, the owners followed, and the media followed.
Yeah when anti MAGA forces' hard work between now and next Nov pay off and we have a 300+ Democratic majority in the House it's gonna be hilarious watching Trump blame all this on Stephen Miller and a bunch of other people.
