Playing TTRPGs for 20 years. Still bad at it.
Music preferences are loud and fast. Bonus points for angry and/or horny. Bad at the Social part of social media.

I will always assign Grok personhood, if only to include it in the number of elons children who hate him.

I dont think there is any use trying to make sense of these manosphere weirdos.

Don't know. Not convinced by anyone who says they do. My position from the beginning has been the answer isn't that simple. Few things ever are.

Then let me fix that. I don't care about a faction of single issue voters. Dems and reps both are bastards and have been for a long time. To say that this one simple trick would have let the blue team of imperialist decide where the bombs go? Not sure I beleive it.

Assuming any politician cares about anything the population doesn't force on them is the delusion. Dem or rep the institution will protect itself. Unfourtunatly, this election that meant dems upholding a long proud history of US empire.

Because party composition matters. Do you really struggle with the idea of the individual members of congress mater to the national platform?
Maybe the movement was the single reason harris lost. Maybe they are just a loud minority on this weird little corner of the internet. Irrelevant now.

Yis, It was. 2024 the "squad" had 9 seats. 2 lost, and only AOC did well in that primary.
I am using the squad because the other sources are contradictory.
If there are more than that, let me know.
The house has 435 seats.
Yeah, I stand by that rounding to functionally no seats.

ABC.
24.7m pro isreal donations to about 7.6m pro "Squad" donations per open secrets.
Still don't know that this was the smoking gun for the overall loss. Biden is and was deeply unpopular for his own bastardry.

Not what I said. No easy votes meaning does the pro palistine bloc show up more than the pro isreal? I'm not sure they have in the past when given the opportunity.

It's still the money. It's still no easy votes. It's still people on the fence being swayed by a 3 to 1 spending ratio. It's still a pro palstine minority getting smaller, and leadership caring more about their own pockets. Being this fire to keeping them in office or getting the leadership out.

Then let's go back.
"Why not ask why Democrats threw away these easy votes?"
This was the original line.
There are no easy votes. For every pro palistine voter who would have shown up we have also seen, "will never vote dem again" or "I don't trust anything Harris says because of the genocide"

I replied to the other one before reading this, but it's it's own issue. The point is the pro palistine movement can't hold on to any seats. Why would the national party care about a minority faction that has no seats? You are asking a snake why it bit you. The delusion.

Cool. Keep focusing on the presidency and nothing else. That plan works every time.

That's... kinda the point, yes? We don't want kings, right? That means the moement has to win the local elections to have a say.
The whole system needs rebuilt, not doubt. Wanting a better system doesn't mean we can ignore what is in place today.

Sure helps.
Sounds like the progressives just didn't show up for the pro palistine dems who lost primaries if we take money out of the equation.
comment in response to

Yep. Whole system needs changed.

Let me know when they manage to pull that off.
No disagreement on dems lacking courage. I'd take it one step further and say, "They got theirs".

This ignores the reality of apac. Those easy votes would also earn them tons of opposition money.
Three pro palistine dems lost primaries mostly to apac money. Nation dems were given a clear message that isreal pushback isn't an option.

Those others are not the senate minority leader.
My opinion is irrelevant since I can't vote for or against him. I'm simply not going to defend him for accomplishing nothing more than sending strongly worded letters.

Sean Duffy, Marco Rubio, Lakin Rily act, and don't forget S.J.Res.89 where he voted with Ted Cruiz to functionally end aid to Gaza, and the infamous CR.
Dude can't help himself when it comes to helping Republicans get things done.

Louisville specifically, because that's the city I know, has a weirdly high number of Vietnamese Baptist Churches.
Shit's weird and I love it.
Every time conservatives try that dunk about housing immigrants, Louisville responds with "yes please."

Clearly it's a lot harder to fire a single dilettante, than it is to shutter a whole agency.

Step one, lose protections.
Step two, ???
Step three, single payer!
I get the feeling we are missing some steps in this plan. Like a governing body willing to spend tax dollars on anything but bombs and bribes.

It's almost like, and hear me out, that was the point of the cuts Republicans have been making to the ACA since 2017. The ACA was only ever a good start that was not followed through on.
