If you don’t withhold your vote if you don’t get the concessions you need, you’re not doing democracy right. Candidates are supposed to compete for your interests, not take your vote for granted while getting donations from big business.

Yeah, a few weeks ago they were supposedly coasting to the nomination. Add to that that only like 7 relatively small states are the only ones that really matter, so you can’t really judge based on general vibes.
And 3 doors down.
And they’ll defend this while at the same time demonizing Haitians for eating pets (which they don’t do).
And even if Ronald McDonald finally gets him, someone’s going to copy this brand of politics and continue this march towards fascism.
And those same people were fine with accepting RFKs endorsement, despite all of his roadkill stories.
Earnings is different from profits.
Yep, and the reason they rely on non-Democratic operatives for this stuff is because the DCCC will blacklist you if you help a third party/independent campaign.
If you need the expertise to get on the ballot, your best chance is to hire someone that worked for one of the big parties before.
Instead of handwringing about spoilers, maybe democrats should run on some of the policies that are overwhelmingly popular instead so there’s no room on the left for someone to run.
Didn’t make him a celebrity.
“billionaire” “celebrity”
They are, they’ll vote for Trump, they just don’t want to admit it publicly.
And he hasn’t been part of 538 for a while now.
There’s just some endorsements you don’t want.
Trump was barely coherent throughout, but you’ll see the media clean up his word salad as ‘Trump vigorously defended his economic policies and the handling of the pandemic.’
Isn’t that basically the point of the extension? Making sure you’re not tricked into watching BS content?
He’s been successful so far in executing his plan. The supreme court locked in for pretty much a generation, legalised corruption, made abortion illegal in some states again, etc. And it’s basically a coin flip whether he can do more after the election because somehow it’s a close election between Trump + project 2025 and the alternative.
These guys are dangerous, and shouldn’t be dismissed as delusional.
Not in denial, I’m sure he knows exactly how much power he has. They just have to keep playing the victim to keep their base afraid enough to keep voting their way.
This might actually be one of the few things AI could be used for. ChatGPT could download the transcript and just build a short summary.
Although chances are you’re just replacing one shitty thing with a different shitty thing.
That’s been really the biggest issue with the media, the inability to just call out liars. And not just that, people that have been consistently wrong keep getting invited back to give their opinions.
None of the people that lied about Iraq WMD’s for example should ever been given a platform again, but yet, there they are, pushing for the next conflict. Same with economics, everyone that said Obama was going to do a communism should be shunned forever.
If you don’t get concessions, why endorse? They’ll take the votes and the corporate money and keep starving the NLRB of resources.
