@Nonilex This is MAGA. I really really hope people figure out that they need to turn out en masse in EVERY election because we have 77 million (minimum) who want their fellow Americans to suffer. Despite some public protestations from them, THIS is 100% what they voted for.

@heidilifeldman Where the 🤬 are all the “States Rights” Republicans now???

@samlitzinger Am I the only one to notice this VERY unique framing by AP (NY Times did the same)?

When the SCOTUS gave Trump *many* temporary wins, the headlines didn’t say “FOR NOW” - they acted like it was a done deal.

The Media is just so terrible at this… You can see the bias a mile away.

@ErickaSimone ❤️ Also a great historical document to produce when right-wingers pretend “States Rights” is about anything other than killing black people.

@georgetakei Axios could not be more full of 💩 than this. Nadler isn’t bowing to some weird revolt. He’s just ready to move on and believes it is time for a younger person to take his seat.

He did a great job, and I hope his replacement continues the tradition.

@djsumdog @hankg It happened because Microsoft was absolute crap. Some things never change!

@weirdestate Those who were kids during the 80s will recognize this as the Legion of Doom’s headquarters…

@StillIRise1963 Younger folks might need to be reminded that ICE is only 20 years old, and was created by the torturers in the Bush administration.

We should eliminate DHS entirely. Every reaction the USA had to 9/11 made the world worse.

@cdarwin A very tiny number of (old-school, irrelevant) Democrats are publicly saying anything negative about Mahmani. But Hogg wants to start a fight over it?

The DNC dodged a bullet. This guy is trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. A feel-good moment, likely to push the party to the left, and he tries to turn people against each other instead… 🤦

@FlashMobOfOne Buddy, get a grip. These complaints were unfortunate for people affected. But they were unintentional systemic issues that were subsequently addressed by a state investigation.

More importantly, Clinton won by 400,000 votes. It wasn’t close, and DEFINITELY not close enough to have been affected by these registration errors.

So YES, you are spouting conspiracy theories. Just like MAGA.

@FlashMobOfOne Can’t we leave crazy election conspiracy theories to the MAGA crowd? 🤦

@ErickaSimone Today I saw 2 articles. One quoted Trump in 2024 saying he would use the military to round up immigrants. The other was Harris in 2024 warning people that Trump would use the military on Americans.

They BOTH told everybody what was gonna happen! 🤦

@touaregtweet Trump and the MAGA crowd don’t care about soldiers. All their “support the troops” bluster is performative.

They are trying to cut 80,000 jobs at the VA, and eliminate help for victims of burn pits.

They truly do not give a 💩 about our women and men in uniform. This mistreatment of the CA National Guard is yet another example.

@TonyStark The signs LITERALLY said “Mass Deportation.”

I spotted a MAGA supporter on Fedi yesterday and engaged with him. Within 2-3 posts about VA budget cuts, he posted “white people need to take the country back.”

If you talk to MAGA voters, it usually only takes a few minutes before they expose that… yes, they ARE deplorable.

@me_valentijn @heidilifeldman It seems to me you’ve missed the point of this thread a bit.

Playing the blame game with Democrats is self-defeating. Money in politics is impossible to change in the short term. What CAN be done is voting against the GOP, in every single election.

And a corollary: If one wants the Democratic Party to align more with one’s values, one must vote. Because any politician is going to listen more to those who voted than those who didn’t vote at all.

It was malicious actors who convinced people that Harris was responsible for the situation in Israel, and told them the response was to not vote. Such behavior benefitted Trump and Netanyahu. We CANNOT allow such influence campaigns to work again.

@me_valentijn @heidilifeldman Voting Democrat is not enough, but it is necessary, even if you don’t like the Democrat of the month.

And if you believe that Harris was pro-genocide, you were affected by the targeted disinformation meant to suppress your vote. Trump is going to literally remove every single Palestinian from Gaza. Do you REALLY believe Harris would do the same? We all know the answer to that.

#Fediverse tip of the day: You don’t need to block anybody.

Just ask them to give one example to prove the point they are arguing, and they will block you, saving you the trouble. #Lazy

Bonus reverse tip: If you have no clue what you’re talking about and somebody asks you to back your statements up, you can block them instead! #Lazier

@benroyce @xenotar MAGA: “Yes an American Pope WHEE!!!”

5 minutes later MAGA: “Oh, he actually believes in the teaching of Jesus? He sucks.”

@benroyce @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd AOC is the future. Bernie is the past.

At least AOC might be able to bring people together. Bernie loses in the primary, then acts bitter and reluctantly pretends to support the nominee... and his supporters sense that and stay home. Haven't we had enough of that already?

And at his age, he is DEFINITELY not the future.

@benroyce @bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd I am glad he is passing the torch. I hope AOC doesn't make the same mistakes he did.
