The Democratic Party
Hillary beat Donald in the popular vote. Would nominating a white guy improve our chances? Depends on who, specifically, we're talking about, but probably yeah. Is it the only option? No.

So they need to just keep doing what they literally do in every election. Got it.

They deserve better than having to deal with our bullshit.

The Way Too Early 2028 Democratic Presidential Candidate Thread
For most people to hear about it, Dems would need to be talking about it constantly for months on end, and the media would need to be covering them talking about it. The Dems don’t understand the need for repetition and the media wants to help Trump so won’t amplify Dem messages even when they hit on a good one. That doesn’t mean it’s hopeless. It just means Dems have to learn to repeat their attacks and to also bully media members for trying to cover up Trump’s corruption.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don't Exist Shocking. Who could've predicted this?

He was a Scalia clerk too.

Texas -- a failed state
Was just coming here to post this. Literally all a Texas Dem running for statewide office should do is point to this and yell loudly and often how they're all fucking like this.

The Trump Economy
Most stock trading these days is just gambling on short-term movement, so the longer-term effects of uncertainty don't really factor in.

It wasn't really a long monologue or speech, but Cassian's pep talk to the mechanic at the beginning of S2 Ep 1 is outstanding:

Texas -- a failed state
There's something very unintentionally (and darkly) hilarious about this. Nobody remembers Allred's run because he never even fucking campaigned.

The Last of Us coming to HBO
Most of the show’s additions have been solid improvements on the game, but man what the fuck was the point of having Ellie wash up on Scar island for a quick little execution scare? That was dumb as hell.

The Supremes
SCOTUS overturned Humphrey's Executor tonight on the shadow docket to let Trump fire members of independent agencies without cause, with a special "oh well it's different, don't ask us how" carveout for the federal reserve.

It's not our fault all the conservatives keep having drunken/mental breakdowns.

Abolish the filibuster!
They were the two that publicly took the blame, but there were a few other senators who wouldn't really comment on it one way or the other much and probably secretly opposed nuking the filibuster too. Coons comes to mind, but I think it's safe to assume that most of the Dems who teamed up with Schumer to back the GOP's continuing resolution earlier this year would've been against it.

Trump’s America
I know I’m a little late to the party, but I think the elimination of Pepfar alone can and will ultimately be viewed as similar to the Holodomor. Part of Rex is beginning to realize that we’ve all been right about how bad this all is and another part of him is rebelling against that and lashing out. He doesn’t have the strength to join with liberals though, so he’ll ultimately go full Nazi and blame it all on the left.

The Democratic Party
I don’t mind certain Dems using him as a medium. I think Pete could do it. Bernie could too, though I don’t trust him not to mostly bash Dems which ultimately isn’t helpful. But most Dem officials Rogan would be openly hostile to and they wouldn’t know what to do with that.

Rogan has literally been personal friends with Alex Jones for decades.

The Democratic Party
Bari Weiss and Bret Weinstein call themselves liberal. When Joe says he's for shit like universal healthcare he's lying. He's never in his life lifted a pinky to advance that cause. He just knows that pretending to break from the right on a few issues is useful. Weed is the only issue where he genuinely disagrees with the mainstream Republican party and he doesn't even really care if they legalize it because he knows they'll never arrest him for possession.

The Democratic Party
Rogan has never been progressive, get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. He was a libertarian, which means he likes weed, and he didn't used to have a problem with gay people because he was around Hollywood folks all the time. He's been firmly right-wing though for the last 5+ years though, which tracks the shifting politics of most libertarians, because they don't actually care about liberty for anyone but themselves and they're stupid enough to fall for a thousand different and often contradictory conspiracy theories.

Covid/Influenza/Black Death. 2024 and beyond
I like how exactly the posters you'd expect to do this are pretending that everything we know we also knew in March/April 2020.

New (?) University in Austin
I wonder what percentage of that student body walks around with calipers in their pocket. You know it's not 0.
