One reason why they thought Biden was less fit than Trump is because like them, Donald Trump has never experienced love or empathy for another human being in his life. Therefore Biden grieving was interpreted as a mental sickness.

Beto O'Rourke hasn't held office in six years and he's failed in all three elections he's run in since then.

They do not want Trump to be a lame duck because: 1.) They want the soap opera to be a nail biter until the next presidential election. 2.) They want the annoying people who were mean to them on Twitter executed.

I'd be more excited about primaries as a broad strategy if the culture around losing them were more along the lines of, "I guess the encumbant was popular and understood the district after all"

Biden committed the worst sin against media possible. He briefly robbed them of Trump. They will never forgive him for it.

What political news media is doing this week in trying to brute force this into a scandal for seemingly no other reason than bc they're bored again is such a good illustration of why their stature with the public continues to plummet.

You know, all this would hit really differently if we didn't spent the last decade+ watching the entire media sphere close ranks every time a journalist was accused of immoral, dishonest, or unethical behavior. I mean, how many journos circled the wagons around Olivia Nuzzi sexting RFK Jr.?

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

My great grandfather was murdered by Soviets in 1937 in a state ethnic cleansing operation for being a Jew born in Poland.

If a Democratic President called America a stupid country, the media would be demanding their immediate resignation.

pros of legalizing dense housing: we could fix municipal budgets, address the housing crisis, and increase public transit cons of legalizing dense housing: wealthy NIMBYs and weird nonprofits will be mad that they have to look at apartments

Why does he keep talking about this what the fuck

Anyways the whole "Dems must apologize for Biden" thing is not about Biden at all, it does feel like political media and pundits trying to assert dominance.

“I don’t know the details, it’s not my lane” about an open and shut violation of the constitution coming from the guy who runs the chamber responsible for impeachment. I’m so sick of this pious worm.

Exactly. The reason the media and some desperate Dems are spending so much time on Biden, despite Biden being irrelevant, is because the general public is starting to blame the media and the Business Plot 2.0 for helping Trump into power. They want Dems to disavow Biden so the public stops asking.

Somehow I doubt that Bernie Sanders going on stage to talk about how much he agrees with RFK Jr. is going to prompt a wave of rage on here about geriatric politicians who keep trying to work with the Trump admin.

The modern Republican Party doesn’t believe in democracy. You can’t vote fascists into power and also vote to keep some things they oppose. I hope the ~13% of Missourians who voted for both Trump and an abortion rights ballot measure have learned this.

Somehow Biden being old is front page new but DHS saying we need to suspend habeas corpus is 20 clicks in.

It is genuinely baffling how Sanders developed a persona as a fighter when he's always been like this. He's always been agonizingly naive and eager to trust Republicans. The man did joint appearances on Fox News with Steve King to denounce immigrants.

Senator Alsobrooks: You’ve been unable to address specific questions about your agency. Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep program operates out of? RFK Jr.: Guesses wrong 5 times Alsobrooks: It is the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD.

NPR has identified three Trump administration officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a prominent Holocaust denier.

This is why I get so skeeved out by people saying we need a Dem tea party, we need a Dem contract with America, we need Dems to do what has worked for republicans. Selecting for those things you *like* that republicans do (which, lol) likely selects for a bunch of other shit you don’t.

Yeah, you shouldn’t

I know we're not some big fancy place like New York City, which should consume all your attention for the next 6weeks,but in yet another repudiation of Trump, Omaha has a Democratic mayor for the first time since the 90s and he's also our 1st black mayor ever!!

#Virginia Republicans are already going all-in on transphobia for the 2025 elections for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General and House of Delegates. It’s one of their top two issues. Nevermind that they did the same thing against me and lost. And lost in Wisconsin. And lost now in Omaha.

The longest serving incumbent mayor in the country, a Republican, just got fired by Democrat John Ewing in Omaha, NE. Congratulations Mayor-Elect Ewing, Nebraska Democrats, and the Democratic Mayors Association. Watch out Republicans - we are winning all over the country up and down the ballot.

The worse the Trump admin gets and the more harm it does to the nation, the harder and harder they'll double down on their fake Biden coverup story, because they'll feel more and more desperate to justify their lying to the public in 2024 and elevating Trump back to office.

if the Kat Abu saga tells you anything it's that journalists will go to incredible lengths to keep you from knowing about the conflicts of interest that they know about when said conflicts involve their friends

So basically, Biden had a cold, had a bad first 45 minutes, and the media couldn't stand such a benign and boring explanation. So they manufacturered a cover up themselves by refusing to broadcast his future performances, push polled him to death, and their justification is a doctors note?

Fuck the NYT, fuck Stelter, and fuck the rest of the media peddling this shit. They're STILL obsessing about Biden's age. Trump is just as old now as Biden was in office, and they never even float it as an issue even as his brain decays. It's all to say "WE didn't help Trump win, Biden did it!"

I, personally, am very tired of being stuck in a cycle of "GOP creates a crisis, voters bring in Dems to fix it, Dems fix it, voters throw them out and bring back in GOP, GOP creates even worse crisis than the last one" for the past 25ish years and counting in this country.

I really do think most of it is just knowing if she runs she sweeps the South in the primaries Biden 2020 style, getting in the way of the various favorite sons extremely popular on Bluesky but polling at 1-3% IRL.

While some of our Vice Chairs are fighting Republicans, others are going on TV to whine about how they can’t get laid. It’s awfully telling which ones get defended and which ones don’t.

The political grifter community is one of the most incestuous things I've ever seen. Any "new" face on the scene is never more than 3 degrees of separation removed from one of the same two dozen personalities who have been running this circuit for the past 15 years.

And nobody ever says we have to meet, I dunno, black women, or any women, or LGBTQ people “where they are.” There’s just this powerful idea that if you’re white and male, you can’t possibly be the problem, the world has to change to meet whatever dumb thing you’re doing.

An American President is going to turn a foreign luxury plane from Qatar into Air Force One. And then he’s going to keep the $400 million gift after he leaves office. It’s a disgrace to our country and a potential national security risk. Our Oversight Committee must investigate.

Legality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.

DSA so dumb they don't even realize this is the wrong Dan Brown book
