I think they should have given him the Grimace outfit and told him it was all they had that would fit.

That’s why they do it! Gotta manufacture that last-minute nail-biter to keep the eyes glued to the TV for their 24 hour coverage leading up to the polls closing, and as long as it takes to count each state’s votes!

I don’t think I’ll live through another Trump term, so I’m probably going to check out if it happens.

What it often is, is they want an easy solution. The idea that things are bad isn’t lost on them, but when presented a choice between someone laying out a multistep plan and someone presenting a convenient scapegoat, they’re happy to run with the scapegoat every time.

It’s not even entirely an inherently conservative thing. Many of us can fall prey to it due to the fatigue of late stage capitalism and just running with something we want to believe without researching the underpinnings.

Ah yes, undecided voters.

I bet if we gave the national park system some nukes they could secure better funding!

As a trans person, I kinda don’t give a fuck. There’s so much going on at the national level, I don’t need them to devote speaking time to it. So long as I can continue to count on them when it matters, of course.

It’s irritating to see condescension and people being needlessly smug too.

Unemployment numbers are bullshit because it specifically drops any that haven’t found work in months.

Can we shorten it to PP2025? I feel like Progressive Project 2025 is kind of a mouthful.

So, open season for Biden to get some Supreme Court justices an “early retirement” then?

Yes and no. There is a wider public opinion fight that can be won. Many of the state laws are getting slammed through GOP supermajorities though.

Thomas and Alito prettymuch always just start from the result they want and work backwards.
