We cannot accept a status quo in our elections where if one side wins they have to scratch and claw to withstand lies, illegal challenges, and violent mobs. And if the other side is successful, they're invited to measure the drapes and gather around the fireplace.

There is no question trump won.
trump's gonna assume the office & promptly trash it. The two of them sitting together signals, "This is real. It's happening. I'm leaving; here's the new guy. We agree the next term belongs to him."
Sadly Dems are learning all the wrong lessons and trying to say we need more Fettermans…
Norms become norms for a reason.
Plus, it shows his rabid fan base how it's done...

@meidastouch.bsky.social and others for me.
Why doesn't MSNBC do a series on how billionaires like the Koch's have waged war on the middle class starting with the Powell Memo to the Chamber of Commerce in the 70's?
You can't spend 4 years calling him Hitler and then smile and shake his hand and say "welcome back"
That's insane.
What we're all doing here is a necessary start. Organizing, lifting each other up, giving each other a platform to be heard. Helping new voices get heard and not just the same ones.
There's folks organizing around libraries to stop book bans. My group is trying to organize artists, etc.
ffs
2 hours?
The primal subconscious minds lacking critical thought were infected and dems did not have a response to cure the ill.
Dems stopped fighting back after the debate and ceded control of the messaging to Trump.
Walz was great at first, but was so constrained at debate it looked unauthentic.
Can’t take the high road and cede control of the messaging.
If I felt like getting snarky, I'd guess MSNBC has discovered that "just asking questions" worked for FOX, so they're trying it on for size.
I know Chris is better than that, and there are no answers right now. It's just frustrating all around.

Do you think this country could survive if Joe Biden got courage labeled Trump a national security threat and declared martial law essentially declaring himself king, it would lead to civil war, there are no outs you don’t let felons run because there is no do over

It's MEASURE FOR THE DRAPES ... ( not measure the drapes)
Measure for the drapes means someone is taking over and wants to order new drapes.
Measure the drapes, makes no sense.

Today Fox asked Press Secty: Did Biden want to reconsider how he called DT a fascist. She replied Pres Biden only speaks the truth to the American people.
It is our constitutional responsibility to deny him
You went on & on about Hillary's emails while completely ignoring that her opponent was a morally bankrupt Putin asset.
We could have avoided this whole shit show if journalists had done their job in 2016.
Don't be upset w/ Biden now be upset with yourself.
I was taught in school that no one is above the law. They forgot to add the part, unless you are a rich old white
man!🤬
She ran a good campaign, and I hope she runs again.
It’s kinda impossible to study our history without learning about the history of American authoritarianism and supported by media and political gaslighting

I'm buying weapons for the first time in my life.
We have a broken social contract. The judicial branch must serve it's function with loyalty only to our constitutional rights.
It can be (and is) simultaneously true that standing firm on a peaceful transfer of power is more important now than ever AND that democracy is unsustainable without accountability.

For all their attempts to sabotage the system, people have tried to continue to treat them with respect. That needs to end. They need to be treated like the global liabilities they are.
You don't play a game of chess with someone who will tip the board and punch you in the face if he loses.
Everybody cries after it’s too late when we could have JUST VOTED & dropped all the pointless purity tests…but people must learn the hard way
Democrats need to wake up. NOW.
They told us what would happen if this man was elected again & the majority of voters still decided to vote for him.
Elections have consequences & unfortunately one of those consequences is having to watch that bastard walk back into the White House.
Dems DO need to wake up.
She told us who this man was, his ex-employees told us who he was, he even told us himself & yet people still voted for him.
That's not a Dems problem, that's an American voter problem.
Dems are weak on the things that matter the most: Lawful SCOTUS, Voting Rights, Women's Rights, Holding an insurrectionsist & spy accountable (see "Merrick F. Garland").
Had Dems said, FOR ONCE, "that's ENOUGH", the landscape would've been different.
Some like black voters never had an issue understanding how serious the threat was & always voted accordingly.
So I'm not interested in absolving those who got the same warning but decided that it didn't apply to them.
Your idea of her verbally smacking Trump down would only lead to more people moving away from her once the media ran with it.
It's a very delicate balance for any Dem but it is especially so for a woman.
"Oh, he won't deport MY family, We're the good ones"
It's not that people dislike Dem policies.
We no longer have any media that gets through the RW barage of lies, hypnotically repeated over and over and over on TV, radio,& podcasts
