Yes !!

It follows that Project 2025 is
“The Book of Moron”.
No need to change the name of the revelatory Angel “Moroni”

Populism is Hollywood

Elitism is great at winning votes.

in the 1800s, they called them "know-nothings," i believe.

Or demagoguery.

As a populist, I have to ask... why?

sirronrex.bsky.social•26 days ago

Define “populist”

I’ve been accused of being a populist for pointing out the billionaire money flowing into the Democratic Party.

Am I a populist/moron for recognizing money is corrupting the party and people, like me, are registering unaffiliated as a result?

Did you vote for Harris?

sirronrex.bsky.social•26 days ago

I didn’t vote FOR her

I checked the box by her name

I wasn’t voting for Trump

mistermagic.bsky.social•26 days ago

What kind of mental gymnastics is this? Just say you voted for her.

sirronrex.bsky.social•26 days ago

You asked a question

I answered it

I did not vote for Harris
I filled in a little bubble next to her name, instead of Trump’s

My vote has never been FOR anyone. Capitalists in red and capitalists in blue do not represent me in any way.

If you filled in the little bubble next to her, you voted for her. I don't know why this is so shameful to admit. If you truly felt that both parties were the same, you would have stayed home.

Why are you asking?
