@micchiato Hard agree. I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people are so enamoured with that little corporate drone.

It's interesting that the same people who ask "but what if they use it for drugs" when a poor person asks for money don't ask "but what if they use it for genocide" when a politician asks for money.

Shapiro will be the gift that keeps giving to the GOP. In the last week we have learned that he: 1) likely covered up a murder to protect a large donor; 2) covered up sexual harassment in his office; 3) volunteered with the IDF. This is all on top of 1) comparing pro Palestinian protesters to the KKK; 2) spearheading tax cuts to the ultra wealthy; 3) favoring school vouchers. Nominating this guy would be a disaster for Harris.

Well it looks like she's picking Shapiro and we are right back at fucking square one. I swear to God Democrats can't do anything right. Fuck all y'all.

@hannu_ikonen Fortunately he can't be since he and Harris are from the same state.

I seem to find it easy to ignore Prime Day by being broke.

Look. I don't have all the answers to address what is facing us. But I know the solution is NOT to just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again that has led us to this point.

Just make sure you elect Democrats to the White House, Senate, and House so they can get rid of the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court (even though we have done that already and Dems refused to do either of those things).

Getting rid of the filibuster only requires a majority vote. We don't have to do a damn thing to get Democrats to get rid of the filibuster, they could literally do it today or at any time in the last 3½ years. But they won't. Because they like the status quo. It gives them a reason for why they don't get anything accomplished and allows them to raise funds by making false promises.

They had all three for 2 years and did nothing. For the same reason.

You can't change institutions by repeatedly electing institutionalists.

@gwynnion The way the primaries are set up as well. The fact that Democrats are letting Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina choose their nominee helps ensure a more conservative candidate. If all primaries were held on the same day, it would be more reflective of the overall party membership.

One thing that Mastodon has allowed me to learn is that liberals are arrogant assholes everywhere around the world, not just the US.

34 felonies. Can you believe it? 34. They said it couldn't be done, but I did it. No president has ever been convicted of more crimes than me, your favorite president. The jail warden came up to me with tears in his eyes and said "Sir," he always called me Sir, "Sir," he said "I have never met a president who has been convicted this many times and it is just killing me to have to put you in this cell every day." And then he closed the door, but he HATED it. #Trump

Joe Biden's fake humanitarian pier fell apart and floated away, just like his prospects for a second term. #Palestine #Gaza #Biden

It's gotta be the lead poisoning, right? That has to be the reason this entire generation of leaders are such absolute shit people with no empathy whatsoever. #Genocide #Gaza #Israel

Fighting just "broke out." Nobody knows how or why. Just something that happened, I guess. Sounds like a dangerous place. #Gaza #Rafah #journalism #press

Oh look. Shaun King is doing a griftar

@micchiato Biden is objectively worse on COVID, something at the end of Trump's term I didn't think would be possible.

Before you try to convince me that Biden is good, just do us both a favor and fucking block me.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I knew it was her. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Everything has been so much more pleasant since. She likes to talk as if she is an expert on things she only heard about for the first time last Thursday.
