A few days later, a group of Indiana lawmakers who rejected the president’s push to redistrict the state lost their primaries, demonstrating Trump’s continuing hold over the Republican base

Shouldn’t listen to anyone who doesn’t understand that…

Those races were insanely close while being low turnout, and trump still didn’t replace enough to change the vote on it

He’s pissed off a bunch of old-school Republican voters who are tired of his shit, and they’re likely to stay home.

Swapping out decades of experienced shit again who knew how to abuse the system for a couple of chucklefucks that blindly agree with trump will backfire in the general.

I habitually overestimate people, but this is as clear as day…

Journalists (at least, out of everyone) should be noticing that

I mean this completely seriously:

Not with that attitude.

Maybe without that attitude it’s still true, but we need more people than AOC even if they’re not “as good”

I 100% get not committing to run right now, it would be stupid to do so.

“In this op-ed that Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was a veiled threat — it was the elite saying if you want this job, you just stepped out of line,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”

But I sure as fuck hope she realizes becoming president is our best shot at that.

Shed drive down ballot races like Obama did, but isn’t as cocky and obsessed with personal power to ignore the DNC after winning like Obama did. Shed name a progressive chair.

Bringing in a wave of progressives and putting the party firmly on the progressive side of the divide is absolutely the biggest thing she (or anyone) can do to get us single payer healthcare.

So like I said, hopefully she’s planning to run, just smart enough to not say it yet.

I kind of wish I never saw whatever DC TV show he was “hawk boy”…

It wasn’t his fault, his writing was super cringey.

But now everytime I see his face, I just think “fucking hawk boy”

How the actual fuck do you think I’m the one that needs anything explained?

Every single comment you’ve been wrong…

I’m sorry, I can’t deal with this shit, like I said, it’s too frustrating and waaaaay too depressing.

I hope someone with more patience helps, if not, Reading Rainbow is still effective, and that way personality won’t negatively effect how long a helper hangs out with you.

It’s because we gave the money to babies so the old people didn’t get p‑‑‑ed,” Cruz said.

Literally the entire point the entire conversation of “trump accounts” is they were started at birth…

She is not contributing regularly to it before she is 14, her parents are

Rather than invest in your own retirement (because you know it won’t happen) they want parents to start in eatment accounts for their children at birth and save for their retirement.

How the fuck can people both not remember this from previous news and not be able to figure it out from the context? One or the other should work for anyone, hell everyone should be able to do both, this is not difficult.

I keep hearing about the literacy crisis, is this that?

Quick edit:

Like, not just that you misunderstood it, but that presumably at least 5 other people did…

I legitimately thought just quoting the context would make it obvious, but seemingly no one got it because I didn’t explicitly type it out …

It’s just fucking depressing man

You might not be right, but you’re confident, which is something…

How did we get it done this time? It’s because we gave the money to babies so the old people didn’t get p‑‑‑ed,” Cruz said.

"But babies grow up,” he pointed out.

“That little girl who is born this year, she’s going to be 70, and the math is if you contribute regularly to it, by the time she’s 18, she’ll have $170,000 in that account. By the time she’s 35, she’ll have $700,000 in that account,” Cruz added.

Fair warning, with a tone like that I almost didn’t bother helping you.

I legitimately didn’t read the article first tho, because I’ve heard about this months ago and remember things.

They’re just desperate to keep people investing into the system.

They want steady, never ending capital injection into the market, people paying zero attention and just using an index.

That makes it easy for them to grift with insider trading.

If only the wealthy bought stocks, who would they make money off of?

Either you made a lot of typos, or you think 14+4=70…

Even then, these “investment accounts” are supposed to start at birth, so even if your math was right, still wildly off.

Like, it’s still a grift, but I have no idea where you got those numbers

this is still a bad thing that happened and is happening

Yeah, but being accurate matters

Muddying the waters always helps fascists more than anyone.

Facts still matter.

They people who famously hate QR codes and couldn’t use them if they tried?

They will just not go to that website.

That does sound more correct

I just noped the fuck out as soon as I saw “scan a website QR with your cellphone”

Like, imagine all the fake captchas that will compromise your phone…

Youd have to be an idiot to think even authentic ones are safe, they’re gonna tie your browser to you to help AI datacwnters consolidate information on us.

Pretty ironic the author used AI to write a slop article about how no one wants to see anyone else’s AI slop…

Completely and utterly unaware that she’s still flinging AI slop and people feel the same about hers that she feels about everyone else’s.

This requirement will kick in the moment the system suspects suspicious activity. At that point, reCAPTCHA will forgo the old image puzzles and require you to scan a QR code with your smartphone to prove you’re human. Although this will stop an autonomous bot in its tracks, it also adds another step to verification. But the problem runs a little deeper than the annoyance of a single additional step.

Fuck all of that noise…

If chrome starts asking people to pull out their phone and scan a QR code, people are just going to stop using chrome…

Redistricting would have consolidated Dems to get seats…

But the map passed on a vote, the people wanted it.

Judges going against the people is likely to see more Dem turnout and possibly even more gain in seats. While drawing attention to any judges up for election.

Every Dem state party has been operating at campaign levels for a year since the DNC started making it rain. They’ll keep it up at least thru the midterms and likely thru the presidential.

A steady steam of ~1 million every month to every state (and territory) party with extra money going to red and purple states where we can get the most gains.

The Indiana primaries gave us a really good insight, as much as trump wouldn’t shut up about it, the races all had very low turnout and close to 50/50.

Even rural Republicans are tired of trump, they won’t vote D, but they may just stop voting for a couple cycles.

We’re being forced to take the risky gamble, but it could very well pay off.

, it doesn’t matter if your minutia of info is correct on technicality, because that’s not how people perceive the DNC and the relationships between the party heads…

Hold up…

Did you really just say I’m acting like Alex Jones…

And then in the very next sentence say “facts don’t matter cuz feelings?”

but also, you look crazy, and that’s the only thing most people are going to take away listening to you.

I give zero fucks how people perceive me, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you why.

But…

The important thing here is you stopped arguing that Schumer is the DNC.

If you’re on board with that, and that the sole person who is in charge of the DNC was out there defending Plattner 7 months ago, like that link way back when…

Then we’re good here right?

You can think I look crazy, but if it worked it worked

And you can start explaining this to others, maybe in a less crazy way. But hey man, whatever works. The only thing that matters is people vote in the Dem primaries, pull em as far left as you can. Even if you do it to spite Schumer, that’s 100% cool with me, fuck that guy.

the figureheads of the democrat party, the Senate Minority Leader Schumer

Oh ok.

See, the problem was if Dem politicians didn’t vote for neoliberals for leadership, the neoliberal DNC would cutoff funding to the whole state, handing a bunch of seats to Republicans.

They were fine with this, because their goal was to never have enough power to actually do what Dem voters want.

Congress votes for their leaders in the end of January.

DNC voting members vote for chair (when a Dem wins they appoint one) in the beginning of February.

So when Schumer and Jeffries had their elections for leadership, they had the full weight of an entirely biased DNC chair who was appointed by Biden, the threats were real.

Then a few days later, the DNC voting members pivoted from neoliberals, and started dumping all that hoarded VF money on the state parties.

Schumer and Jeffries have been lame ducks this entire congress, and they will continue to do so.

They will also intentionally act like jackasses and that they are the party, because they want to depress turnout so they can get Newsom or Harris in, and they can appoint a neoliberal chair again.

Like…

Does any of that make sense?

“The DNC” is the chair. When Schumer acts like he’s “The DNC” it’s so people like you will do what you’re doing and depress dem primary turnout…

Surely, you have to realize billionaires are willing to lie and do fucked up shit to hold onto their hoarded wealth, right?

that after the DNC pick lost (horribly) to Platner,

What?

Who was “the DNC pick”?

And why did the DNC chair of all people work against “the dnc pick”?

The DNC chair explicitly saying people who wanted Plattner for the general to vote for him in the primary. And that past mistakes are something someone can overcome…

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5562531-platner-resurfaced-comments-dnc-chair/

Like, what logical steps are you skipping here?

You’re saying the literal opposite of reality right now, that’s the most the DNC has (and likely will) say about a primary challenger.

Martin would have broken the biasy regulations he implemented if he endorsed him any harder…

Did you even know those were implemented?

Like, everything you’re complaining about was fixed over a year ago, but you use “dnc” like trump uses “antifa”…

You clearly don’t know what the organization is or how its structured, you just know billionaire owned media agrees with you…

Don’t listen to billionaires, none of them are on our side and all do them are pissed they don’t control both parties anymore.

Why the fuck do you think they’re focusing on DNC instead of the literal fascist government?

If you have a source of him saying he’d release it to the public, I’d love to see it. But honestly if I can’t find it, and none.of the many, many, people repeating that claim have been able to find it…

That’s what I asked for…

You haven’t provided it, I have moved zero goalposts, I think you’re just confused.

I’m willing to help now that you’re not using explicit insults tho.

Like, if I said I wanted proof that Larry Bird said humans evolved from giraffes, would you take someone word when they told you? Or would you want to hear exactly what Larry Bird said direct from the giraffes mouth?

This is larger than the current topic, if you don’t understand this, you’re gonna constantly be falling for propaganda.

If you don’t want any help, or think i can’t help you, all you have to do is not reply anymore.

But I can put up with some low grade verbal abuse if it helps defeat fascism, it’s better than the alternative

Evolution always finds a way…
