Cool, do the orange dotard next!

What you’ve got to realize here is the freedom they’re talking about is their freedom to oppress “the others.”

Healthy primaries is how we make sure we win generals.

If we can learn just this one lesson from the last presidential, we will be in so much better shape.

It’s not that we don’t know - it’s that we are seemingly powerless to do anything about it. You can’t sue, they’re in legal compliance. You can’t take your money elsewhere, because ISPs often have monopolies in their areas of operation. You can’t count on your reps to regulate, because both parties work tirelessly to install pro-corporate establishment figures at all levels of government. You’re not even allowed to crowd source bribe money for said politicians, because they’ll claim you aren’t a legitimate lobby if you represent the people instead of a special interest.

For a country that loves to bleat on about rejecting tyranny, we certainly seem to welcome it with zero resistance in nearly all facets of life. Capitalism has completely failed us, and I think it’s probably humorous to those on the outside because most Americans refuse to admit it despite the glaringly obvious problems we’re now faced with.

If Fox News isn’t shitting on it, they won’t bat an eye. All sheep, no brains.

This is what happens when they don’t take corporate bribe money. Sometimes even the batshit ones have reasonable takes, when they aren’t simply being paid to be batshit.

Stop! Clarence Thomas can only get so erect!!

I threw up a little reading this.

I hope you’re right. Repugs could easily succumb to their own stupidity, sure. But it’s a tall task ahead for progressives.

They not only have to beat the corporate dems who presently run the party and also rig the primaries to remain in control, but then they have to go on to beat republicans rigging national elections. All while the corporate media is demagoguing them like it’s the red scare 2.0. With enough people behind them, it can happen, but how to break through to such a downtrodden and heavily propagandized people?

Because this convention was in the aftermath of Jan 6, and they were scrambling to both normalize insurrection attempts as well as “own the libs.” From that perspective it was a perfect theme. We should ensure the moniker sticks.

After hurricane Helene? Good luck!
