I don’t think it matters if “most” people oppose Trump’s immigration policies so long as “most” people tolerate it, ignore it, or yell at their screens and call it good.

Sarcasm aside, do you think older Democrats like Pelosi, Biden, Holmes, and Gerry Connolly know how to lead the DNC against Trump’s fascist Republican Party, especially in the age of predominant MAGA media?
If the answer is “yes,” then how did we get here as those same people were in power?

Ah. Understood. Totally fair.

Nope. Don’t care if geriatric Republicans are scheduling their meetings in a hospice center.
My only interest is Democratic Party leadership and their consistent unwillingness to step aside when it’s time to pass the baton.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Biden, Pelosi, Holmes, Gerry Connolly, . . .

Hogg, like many other young, frustrated liberals and progressives, would have benefitted from a few years of mentorship from more experienced Democratic Party leaders.
Unfortunately, some leaders seem more invested in their own entrenchment. The party, and the country, are suffering for it.

Not if it’s in front of a dishonorable, MAGA judge.
This isn’t just a few rogue Republicans, it’s the entire, unified Republican Party coalescing around Trump.
Democrats, by contrast, are powerless, leaderless, and still under the impression that Republicans give a flying f’ck about our outrage.

Republicans are likely complaining that the Program discriminates against grossly unqualified, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, racists who don’t believe in books.

Right-wingers have hated liberals, foreigners, immigrants, poor people, and “others” since forever, and liberals have forever made excuses for them.
Liberals did not, however, hate them back.
That seems to have changed, and sadly, I include myself. I now hate those evil bastards with a passion.

Timothy McVeigh and Lee Harvey Oswald were ex military, and members of the National Guard shot and killed unarmed students at Kent State.
Would a military member turn their weapons against peaceful protestors out of loyalty to Trump and their shared values?
Remember Ashli Babbitt and the J6 mob?

Charlie, Trump, and the rest of the Republican Party know their audience.
From “Birth of a Nation” to the Southern Strategy, the recipe is the same, and their audience always swallow it whole.

No, but only MAGA incessantly whine, bitch, cry, complain, and moan about Democrats while fascist Republicans rip the country apart.

Doesn’t matter what you call yourself. If it quacks like a MAGA, it’s a MAGA.

Your response is a perfect conclusion to this discourse.

In 2020, Democrats gained control of the Senate with a 50-50, and VP Harris held the tie-breaking vote.
Democrats held a reduced majority of 222 seats in the House of Representatives to the Republicans' 213.

Yes, that was us Democrats.
Unlike that caption, filibusters were real.

Republicans control the US Supreme Court, both chambers of Congress, and the Presidency.
Project 2025 was no secret, and Democrats don’t have the votes to stop them.
Elections have consequences, and we are watching the worst of history repeat itself.

Sure. You keep burning that intellectually honest energy right into the midterms. That’ll teach the “Dem establishment.”

Yes, it was an unnecessary distraction.

It was Harris vs Trump, and we knew all that we needed to know about both of them.
Trump ran on lies, fear, hate, xenophobia, racism, and misogyny.
It worked. Again.
Trump didn’t win because of Garland, he won because he got 1.5% more votes than Harris.
comment in response to

If “leftist/progressive types” didn’t vote because Harris courted moderate, republican votes, then those “types” can thank themselves for Trump’s presidency.
90 million eligible voters didn’t vote in the 2024 election. Of the 64.1% that did vote, Trump won with only a 1.5% margin of victory.
1.5%

The title reference to Trump is distracting, but the article is well written and highlights problems any clerk might experience working for someone with such social, professional, and political power.

What could go wrong?
On May 4, 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students.
