Newsom is a neo-feudalist asshat who tried to lick fascist boots earlier this very year. If a corprocrat like him is chosen, Dems are cooked because voters have consistently not turned out for them recently. If such a flakey and uninspiring candidate is chosen, MAGA has a better chance due to base suppression. It doesn't matter that you think voters should act differently, because what is =/= what "ought" to be.
I'm tired of people expecting voters to shape themselves to the party instead of the other way around. Trump didn't dominate other Republicans by telling people to "be better," but by agreeing to satiate their strongest emotions. People aren't in the mood to hear "it can't be done yet, be patient," when everyone's economic situation has gotten worse with every passing year regardless of who is in charge. Democrats have nothing but false promises, which is why they lost against the American Hitler.
That's where the whole "amogus" meme originated, which is why I don't feel bad about using it. Stonetoss is 100% a pathetic Nazi who used to go by breadpanes or some shit, but rebranded bc he couldn't hide his power level anymore. Thank y'all for reminding everybody of his Nazi nature o7
"I'm not transfemme; I just wanna look like a girl, talk like a girl, move like a girl, smell like a girl, feel like a girl, be treated like a girl, and just be a girl in general, but I'm totally not trans"
It doesn't hurt so long as we don't expect it to have much effect. I also don't think the midterms will make a difference, even if Republicans lose every possible seat in an absolute blowout. We're in a dictatorship 6 that's featuring domestic death camps 6 months in; violence against opposition is not unimaginable.
They wanted to do that, which is why they agreed to a nuclear deal. That is no longer the case and it'd be a wasted opportunity to not. It's hard to even blame them much for it given the way their nuclear armed enemies act.
It's all symbolic. They want to scare people with the symbolism of the "inescapable scary prison." They probably hope it falls apart and kills prisoners.
I hate to say this, but Epstein/Trump stories feel like the real distraction. It's long been known that Trump is connected with Epstein, that he's a certified sex pest, and that he's creepy about kids (including his own daughter). It's been default knowledge that Trump is a pedo creep, yet people seem to think that even smoking gun evidence will make some sort of difference.
Almost nobody will seriously change where that stand based on anything that could possibly revealed. On the other hand, the economy is in shambles, the government in shreds, and there are actual fucking concentration camps that people are getting disappeared to.
There is too much horror in the moment for me to fret so much about these horrors from the past. Epstein will not harm anyone else, but unknown high level child sex rings will. Everyone around Epstein getting revealed will not bring retribution to many culprits, nor will it change the root causes of such unaccountable abuse.
