ACLU deserves better than "slams" They're one of the only things holding fed together from all the ghouls in government.

Try flipping the image, our faces and expressions aren't perfectly symetrical. That being said, if you like it then flip it back before posting it. People are used to seeing you, not the flipped version you're used to seeing... There's some evidence that zoomers aren't as bothered by this because a sizable chunk use their ph9nes as mirrors and take more photos for Snapchat and similar apps.

Because at the time of the Nazi takeover, the party with that name was wholly operating as a rubber stamp to the most extremist right wing elements taking hold of their party. "The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea" is similarly nondescriptive as "German Worker's Party" later purposely misleadingly named to "National Socialist German Workers' Party" after Hitlers rise.

No, and neither did Germany.

Leave it up to moderate liberals to roll over and die. Way to signal his kingship guys, fucking top notch pick, that Merrick Galand. To think this ineffective dipshit was considered for SCOTUS. Literally a direct historical correlation to the rise of Hitler through ineffective and complacent liberalism from the socialist party. I guess when you construct a DOJ that doesn't prosecute billionaires the whole thing short circuits when the tyrant is one.. who could have predicted that except every leftist and historian?

Just FYI, there is strong terf energy in this movement if you look into its primary supporters. I'm all for withholding from men who don't support your basic human rights, that is literally why the curve from young men to mid 20s and early 30s drastically shift left, but be careful about your associations.

The underlying assumption here is that these voters aren't low information voters. The economy was what they themselves say they voted while thinking about. I believe it's pretty clear that perception is more important than reality for these voters, and their perception could not be more wrong about that and many other issues. There is certainly misogyny and racism in there too, but also keep in mind that was largely felt in people staying home, not voting for Trump. Harris got far fewer votes and Trump received nearly the same as last time.

There's no easy one size fits all blame to be had here I don't think, as nice as simple explanations are. I believe lack of populist messaging, following safe trends rather than creating them in the minds of constituents (with exception of the weird insult), lack of emergency covid situation, sexism, and appeals to status quo systems that have flaws all played a role.

I think clean power lines look nice. I'd definitely prefer them to a butterfly killing roadway or lighted poles that create light pollution and confuse wildlife.

New information shows his internal polling at the time showed he'd lose to Trump's 407 electoral votes... He still refused to step down for over a month. You are incorrect that he would have won by all metrics that can be known.

Wonder how they'd feel about Bill Mahr getting smashed while sexually harassing children.

Seems like a reasonable ask if they're worried for their safety.
