In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

American democracy isn't in peril, it collapsed years ago. Twin parties, each running on social issues, but lockstep in their support of oligarchs. Find your local Indivisible chapter https://indivisible.org/ or 50501 https://www.fiftyfifty.one/
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Voting for establishment democrats to prevent even worse MAGA outcomes is like treading water in the ocean. Sure in the moment you keep your head above water, but when the currents are pushing you further away from shore, everything ultimately keeps getting worse.
I just want to able to afford healthcare. Nice to know my tax dollars enable foreign citizens in Israel to get affordable healthcare, tho. 🙄
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 2d agoIf you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.
Literally no one needs a “nudification” app to digitally remove the clothes of real people. Nothing good will come of this. Naturally Musk wants it.

For those who are wondering why Dr. Fauci would take the Fifth: The regime has tried to prosecute Comey and others on trumped up perjury charges for testimony before Congress. Fauci is simply determined not to take the bait.

Reconsidering the chummy WHC dinner? Legacy media needs to read the room. 🙄
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · last wk.The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.
The road to hell is paved with ”moderate,” so-called center left establishment democrats and the radical right fascist republicans.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Bernie Sanders: "People are sick and tired of the Democratic establishment and the Republican establishment ... the American people are tired of a rigged economy, a corrupt campaign finance system. They want real change. They don't want Rahm Emanuel and the establishment maintaining the status quo."

If Kentucky’s governor was a Republican, they would have done this by now. Two sets of rules. Two sets of standards. The Democrats are going to dither us all to death while pretending indecision is a virtue instead of a political calculation.

We’ve got 15 weeks left to do the organizing work it will take to overcome the regime’s election sabotage — trying to end mail-in voting, targeting registration programs, blocking vote-counting, and even attempting to ban states from encouraging people to vote.
Do members of Congress actually do anything other than tweet, launder money and bankrupt the country??
