119th congress: must be at least 75 to chair a committee!

[bronconick]

They've decided on affordability for 2026. Anyone with half a brain knows that by November that will be the last thing anyone is thinking about. All people will be thinking about is two things, Greenland and when does the police knock on my door so they can deport me.

You think Americans who probably can't find North America on a map care about Greenland when they go to the polls? Really? I'll give you ICE, but foreign policy sits about 5th unless something like 9/11 pops up

Yeah, they're the same ones that couldn't find Iraq on a map.

Sorry dog, vote blue no matter who is how we got into this mess, it’s not going to get us out of it.

Then give me another solution.

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

We are offered 2 methods by history:

1) Take over / threaten / bribe the Dems to do the people's will.
2) This.


Look around. See any rebels? I don't either.

We have to colonize the mechanisms of power or use violence. Those are the choices. I posit Americans are too fat, lazy, and self-absorbed to ever be rebels. Never have been; never will be. We are a lethargic mass of obesity in both body and mind.

Stolen from Bluesky:

GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good.

Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

10/10 no notes!

Easy, don’t vote and let them lose.

If they’re not going to do anything to help when they’re in power, then they don’t need to be there.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Affordability does not elbow out fascism as a focus. In fact fascism argues "give up your rights we'll make you fat and rich." Affordability is a rearguard attack on the false promises of fascists.

And just when do you suppose they'll get around to mentioning the fascism?

How many need to be killed before it gets a mention? Just give me a number.

They don't need to know where it is on a map. All they need to know is that America, at least in recent years, is not in the business of starting wars to take over other countries. Especially other countries we view as allies. And you can see by polling that a lot of Americans feel this way.

My personal method is to vote for anyone running against my Dem representative in the primary. Hopefully, they win. If they don't, I hold my nose and vote for the Dem. And then try again.

They will get around to it when right after they are done ignoring all of us that got doxxed because of Charlie Kirk and lost our jobs...

Its hilarious that the Dems literally ran on Democracy and stopping fascism and they cant even be bothered to do even basic performative theater as federal thugs destroy a Blue Stronghold. Even when it polls really well...nah dont want to ruffle feathers. Stick to affordability the donors don't mind that cause the Dems eont fix shit anyways.

Like Warren is right its a fucking tragedy that no Dem President or Congress (or both) have raised the minimum wage...but thats on all of them and it ranks well behind human beings being kidnapped, beaten, tortured, deported and killed as Gestapo goes door to door. Sorry but the price of eggs is irrelevant right now.

 

[Slap Shot]

They can't find Minnesota on a map. Kep maybe too.

It's simpler than that. They ran last year almost exclusively on "stopping the fascist and saving democracy" which then lost to a fascist complaining about the price of groceries. You now want them to run exclusively on stopping the fascist again. Is that going to work now? It didn't in November 2024. That's probably while they're hedging.

SMH.

The Dems aren't why we lose.

This is why we lose.

Correct on all of this.

Equally incorrect on all of this…since…

This is my method, and I’m assuming yours, based on what we have at our current disposal. rufus isn’t the problem. Follow your own golden rules you love to set out on display, and recognize no one on here outside of maybe three posters are actually the fucking problem.
