Great, she can jump to the Green Party, which has brought us Jill Stein and Kyrsten Sinema

Sports are awesome, they aren’t “right wing coded”, what’s the matter with everybody

The Republicans, however, would probably do it quite eagerly

You’d think all the decades of science fiction written specifically to warn against this sort of thing would have done some good. But no

Congress hasn’t asserted its authority under the War Powers Act since it was passed in 1974. The intent of the law was to reclaim congressional authority for launching military campaigns, but Congress has never used it. They’re not going to start now.

“Churchillian” has a specific meaning, so the comparison is clearly meant to be complimentary

Lol, that’s what she said!

I like the Cheetos puffs, but not the crinkly kind. So they can compare Trump to those if they want, I won’t squawk.

The War Powers Act was well-intentioned, but it’s never worked. And this Congress is the most supine in American history

Well, they voted for it so

When MLK Day was being debated in the early 1980s, conservatives were insisting that we could absolutely not afford another national holiday. As it became clear it would pass, they switched to endorsing some obscure (white) revolutionary war figure as more deserving of a holiday

Aw, you wandered into my timeline to call me names, but what a surprise — you don’t like it when it happens to you

I’m clearly not a right-winger. But you are clearly a cunt. Move to Russia with Jill Stein, you two deserve each other

It was an obvious lie the first time, and they don’t teach history in schools anymore, so

So what did you prove?

Why are you, a random person, demanding some sort of purity test of me? I might ask you to repeat the phrase “Jill Stein is a Russian asset and her candidacy was funded by the GOP”, which is true, but I doubt you will say it no matter how many times I demand you do

Oh gosh I’d better say the words some rando on the internet instructed me to repeat. But if I do try to say them my tongue will turn to fire. What do I say?
Oh wait, I know: fuck off

The “source” was all over social media the day after the election, but you won’t look at anything that conflicts with your narrative. That seems like maga behavior

lol yeah you’re so anti-Trump you voted for Jill Stein, whose campaign was funded by the GOP and the Russian government

“Uncommitted”, what a joke. I heard a lot about “Genocide Joe” and “Killer Kamala” but funny, never a negative word about Trump. And what a coincidence, the Green Party candidate who had close ties to Russia helped Trump win

Why do you doubt leftists celebrated the day after the election? Defeating “Killer Kamala” was literally their goal. Now instead of a two-state solution, you get the Trump plan —Palestinians pushed out of the region, Gaza razed and a Trump resort placed where it used to be. You must be very proud

Maybe you should go find where Jill Stein’s been hiding since the last election. She’s probably back in Moscow

So you’re arguing that the “Abandon Harris” movement was a Russian propaganda op? That terms like “Genocide Joe” and “Killer Kamala” were being pushed from Russian bot farms?
I guess leftists are useful idiots, same as they were 70 years ago

Again, I’m responding to the “leftist” in the original post, presented as sober, reasonable person who did everything they could to warn us about our current situation. Nothing could be further from the truth

Go back to the Bluesky timeline the day after the election, you’ll see it all over the place
