Leftists think Protest Votes will shake up politics. If they withhold votes for flawed candidates, the DNC will offer better candidates. But they never think about the other side. By showing up to vote in numbers too big to ignore, they could shift demographics and become a bloc worth catering to.

The next Democrat to be President needs to make a commission for Washington DC to Fix Trump's Mess. The idea to fix all of our national monuments that Trump has vandalized. We can call it the FTM Commission.
The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.
It's probably not a great sign that the only reason I'm aware of Platner's name is because of his bad choices, his bad actions, and his bad attempts to defend them How did someone that toxic even get picked for that position in the first place?
Vote democratic in the general election to get rid of the fascists. Vote in the primaries to make sure there are good democratic candidates in the general election. Move the overton window back to the left.
Centrists are so strange. They look the Dems trying to achieve complex solutions and succeeding slowly, and Reps trying to achieve simplistic solutions and failing quickly, and they can't tell the difference? If I hear "both sides" one more time, I will lose my grip on reality. 🧵1
Hungary should be a lesson to third-party curious Americans. You don't defeat an autocrat by fracturing the opposition. You defeat them by uniting to fight them...completely uniting...it takes everyone pulling in the same direction
I was posted to the US embassy in BP the Spring Orban came to power and lived there for 11 of his 16 yrs. Yes, fidesz rewrote the constitution and rigged the system. But fidesz stayed in power b/c the opposition could not unite behind a single leader. Magyar changed that
So the Hungarian opposition's big idea was Vote Harder? And they thought, what, that they could vote the fascists out?
Anyone who ever said that Harris (or Biden or any other Democrat) would have gotten us into a war with Iran should be treated as completely uncredible for any matters of international politics ever. Not because they were wrong, but because it was a made-up lie to justify their actions in 2024.
Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.
This is simply incorrect—it is a right *and* a responsibility of a citizen in a democracy. Its not a question of hating “each other” its a question of respecting each other and trying to protect each other. Voting and paying taxes are the way I take care of others in this society.
So what is the over-uder on any of the people demanding that Democrats impeach Trump will praise this person or reward him in any way? www.9news.com.au/world/donald...

This is what happens when Progressives show up to vote in the Primaries, then follow up by voting in the General. Good stuff happens when Leftists actually vote and vote in a smart, unified manner. Nazis take over and kill a bunch of people when they don't.
In three months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by fast food and delivery companies -Cracked down on bad landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.
You move the Democrats to the left by voting in the primaries You move the country to the left by voting in the general. Don't surrender to the Nazis by not voting.
I got banned from Imgur.com because I received death threats from multiple other users and had the nerve to complain about Imgur's moderators not doing anything about it.
