It is a lie that Trump is a dove but the silence by Democratic leadership to call a genocide a genocide is giving this lie wings.

Depends, if it's a bunch of Sinemas and Fettermans that win then nothing would change and people will ask why they even bother voting. Leadership needs to be primaried and changed or else it's a wasted shot.

The comparison to a Nazi flag is absurd. A better comparison would be if an agent had a straight price flag on their desk. And no, the agent would not have lost their job under this regime for such a display.

So the hope is that things are bad enough that voters finally learn their lesson but not bad enough that their votes don't matter....

They’ve helpfully characterized “the five principal forces of antiscience “ into alliterative groups: (1) plutocrats and their political action committees, (2) petrostates and their politicians and polluters, (3) fake and venal professionals—physicians and professors, (4) propagandists, especially those with podcasts, and (5) the press. The general tactic is that (1) and (2) hire (3) to generate deceitful and inflammatory talking points, which are then disseminated by all-too-willing members of (4) and (5).

They're so incompetent but also incredibly lucky.

Because the conservative justices have signaled that precedence doesn't matter if they don't want it to. Maybe other judges need to follow suit to make a point...

About as much as I love having 9 people appointed for life that can overrule that voting system in case it does actually let the majority win.
