    I find it fascinating we've heard zero news or updates about Tyler Robinson or the criminal case against him.

    It's like deja vu with the Trump shooter.

    The shooting itself is used as a huge rallying point.  The prosecution is apparently not important.

    Why the hell do I know more about the fucking DC sandwich guy than either of these shooters?

  2. Again, a two-week public ad blitz broadcasting all of this shit and the Democrats could turn the entire public narrative against these fuckers.

    Go for the jugular.

    Here is a message that will resonate for Democrats, particularly as more people are unemployed, lose health insurance etc ...:  "Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have a net worth greater than the poorest 169 million Americans put together. So far this year, the wealth of Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk has increased by 679 billion dollars. BILLION. Zuckerberg's yacht uses almost 1200 gallons of diesel an hour. Elon said he wants to become the world's first trillionaire. How much money is enough for these assholes? Elon and Zuckerberg do want what's best for you and me, the only want what's best for themselves. Meanwhile, their Republican shills in Congress do NOTHING but try to enrich themselves ---- and they are already obscenely wealthy. It is not "socialism" or "communism" if these guys pay more in taxes so that the poorest of children can eat. It's compassion. It's fairness. It's decency."   Also, Dems need to target privacy concerns online ... NOBODY likes being tracked across the internet, not even Republicans.  Those two things. Hammer them into oblivion. Trumpism works because it gives people an enemy to focus on. The Dems have a readymade bogeyman and it's one that everybody already knows and senses is evil. 

    My favorite baseline is still: Pretend you were given $100,000 the morning of January 1, 2000.  And then again on January 2, and January 3, and then again every single morning after until today.  You still would not have accumulated a billion dollars, and Elon Musk's net worth is more than 500 times that.

    Tell me that won't get voters out for blood.

    he is such a fucking imbecile. Fuck everyone that votes for this goddamn clown

    It actually makes less sense the longer you think about it.  The people moving to Texas because of the Mamdani election are likely political allies of Abbott, yet he's telling them that they are not welcome.  He's not even fake punishing the right people!

    Can we be politically honest here for a second. Nobody outside of the very politically online set in certain geographical regions even knew that there was important democracy taking place today. 

    I’m normally in agreement on claims like this, but you’re flat out wrong here.  The Mamdani stuff absolutely crossed over into normie world.

    Lulz at that last post. Chicago, SF, and NYC are my three favorite cities. They all kick ass

    My Republican parents visited San Francisco last year and came back saying how incredible it was and that it was nothing like how people describe it.

    Unfortunately, they have not connected the dots as to what this means about all the other information being fed to them.

    It’s not hard to comprehend. If we lose to Georgia we will drop from 11 to 13, 14 maybe 15. Lose by 10 handedly with Georgia taking a knee it could be 16. How are you rising from 14 to 10 in the last two weeks? 

    By beating a top 3 team while others lose?  Seems pretty straightforward.

    Killing all right people?

     

    I've long considered the Kavanaugh hearing the official moment where the "traditional" GOP merged with MAGA.  Lindsay needs to go down in history with Mitch as two of the primary fuckers who definitely knew better but let this happen.  (Also, holy hell this has been a rough 7 years on Graham, he looks like crap compared to the pic below.)Sen. Lindsey Graham got really, really mad at the Kavanaugh hearing

    Basically nobody voting against the democrats even disagrees with their policy positions.

    This needs to be plastered on every DNC office across the country.

    Elections are not about policies.  They are about vibes.  People subconsciously decide who they want to vote for and THEN craft an internal reasoning for why they feel that way.

    Every internal D debate boils down to:

    ”Wow, this democratic socialist is really mobilizing the base in this D +42, 38 percent foreign born major metropolitan district! We need to replicate this energy nationally and push out the centrists!” 
     

    “Noooo, you can’t do that! This kind of rhetoric hurts the D candidates in this rust belt, R +1.5 race! You need them in Congress and their voters in national elections. The radicals need to tone it down.” 
     

    Then in national and most statewide races voters pick someone in between the two in primaries and the two poles lob bombs, bicker, and dont vote for the candidate in the general. Rinse, wash, repeat!

    Hopefully this will shake the dem establishment to its core.

     

    The inability for most Dems in positions of power to interpret these results with nuance is maddening.  Yes, some of Mamdani's success is probably not replicable in other parts of the country.  But a lot of the excitement is generated from the fact that he's young, energetic, knows how to talk to the people, and seems like he actually cares.  That shit is replicable fucking everywhere.

  11. This was up there with the infamous Oklahoma State game.  Officiating so bad you just start looking around to make sure other people are seeing it too.
