You realize they're the same people who tried to start a national movement for Dems to vote R because Obama beat Hillary, right?

Like. Biden supporters did t just appear overnight. They're the people who voted R till Bill Clinton in the 90s, and they're very used to getting what they want, can't accept when they dont and constantly project

There's not.many of them, they just never shut up and are the ones currently running the DNC.

You're still completely missing the point.

It could have been Tim Walz and no one knew his name before Biden dropped.

The "name recognition" is just bullshit.

99.99% of what neoliberals say they dont even believe, they just say whatever gets them what they want

They wanted Biden, so they just spewed diarrhea onto keyboards throwing everything at the wall hoping something will stick.

But they knew all along that Biden was the worst option, they were just willing to risk trump again than anything a smidge to the left more than Bidens 82 year ass.

Please learn the lesson this time, they've been doing it for decades, and show no signs of stopping

The most conservative wings of a political party almost never are on the same side of the rest of the party. Please, for the love of God stop fucking falling for it.

Bruh you have no idea what OP is talking about in either of your replies...

They're talking about blocking an instance, which isn't blocking every user, it's blocking every community.

If you do that you still see accounts and their comments, but do t get notified by replies.

I mean, OP already said that. And you didnt understand the first time, so I'm not sure doing it again will help.

But that's why you're confused.

Are you trying to quote an article or something?

Or are you just really sure about what you're saying ..

Because you shouldnt be

I mean. I'm a policy guy, that's what I look for in a candidate.

But realistically, the more Kamala stays away from policy the better.this isn't the beginning of a game where it's zero to zero and anything can happen.

Dems have the ball on our own 20 yard and we're up a field goal with 10 seconds left.

And it's still first down, no timeouts left.

Taking a knee and running out the clock for the guaranteed win is the smart move.

Kamala isn't trying to win an election, she's trying not to fuck up an almost guaranteed win. So in this very specific set of circumstances, not only can she win with just vibes, it's her best bet.

Now after she wins...

That's when she needs to go policy heavy, and have plans drafted up so that they day she takes office, all the shit that was too progressive for Biden gets done. Deregulating weed alone would kill any "Kamala the cop" nonsense, start public fights over housing pricing, taxing the wealthy, universal Medicare, all that shit.

Even if the stuff she needs legislation for, coming out swinging like that and pushing for votes to be held so that it's clear who's stopping what would easily carry over to midterm games.

Just fucking rinse and repeat till we get the numbers. Voters don't need to see wins, legit effort is enough. She just needs to fight for the people loudly and proudly so everyone sees it.

Dem incumbents usually lose seats in the midterms, because voters feel abandoned right after an election.

Kamala is 20 years younger than Biden, she can put in the effort. Pull out the ole "fireside chat's" even, every week address the nation with an update on what Dems want to do, and who exactly is stopping it.

But em on fucking blast, media will run with it.

They just had Steph Curry and then some dude quoted Kendrick...

Kendrick probably would have shown up just to sing the song about Drake being a pedophile.

But the energy of "Not Like Us" is exactly what we need and just seems made for this election.

Also for calling Drake a pedophile, but music can be two things.

Imagine you were 30 years older and president...

Time moving faster as we age is totally normal and due to a couple different things, but I'm sure to Biden it feels like 4 weeks have gone by and not four years.

It's a big reason why progress is slow and backslides are monumental, both parties are run by 60+ year olds. The ones that say they want progress are terrified how fast it moves and want it to slow down, the ones that want the "good ole days" feel like it's obvious progress is happening too fast and we need to go backwards.

We'll. Unless you want me to call up my middle school gym teacher I dont really know what you want me to do here champ...

But part of that is because you replied to a long comment asking for a source without mentioning what you were talking about.

Even then, looking at my entire comment I have absolutely zero idea what the fuck you're asking for here.

Yeah, but because of Swanson's frozen food empire, we got to deal with Tucker Carlson...

His birth mother was a hippie that abandoned them with their father when tucker was 6. Not sure of the details, but escaping an abusive relationship was often labeled as "abandoning children" back then.

That abandonment likely started his trouble with women, then his dad married an heiress from the Swanson family, even tho most of that money was in Campbell's stock by then. During that time the new stepmom was fighting her brothers for access to her family trust.

Tucker was 10 around then, and that happening around him likely led to him mixing up a desire for a mother with desire for money, because that was the big thing going on when he got his new mom.

So now we end up with an emotionally stunted bowtied asshole who hates women and loves money

Damn, that's crazy...

I googled it and they were born in 69, 72, and 74.

So they started the band when the youngest was 15, and still going.

Edit:

Or the youngest two are sisters and the other isn't original?

I'm not trying to deep dive research them lol

Luis Elizondo is a Department of Defense insider

Knew it before I clicked...

Anytime you see an article about how some high level government guy just admitted we have aliens, it's always this guy.

I dont know why the media always like it's a new development, he's been saying this for a very long time

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Elizondo

It's like how you'll see "Harvard Professor" or "Ivy League professor" and immediately know it's Avi Loeb

There's definitely weird shit going around with Elizondo tho, like his dad being a US spook working against Cuba, the DoD disavowing him, and high ranking politicians backing his claims about DoD related work that the DoD was denying

I can't believe that a conspiracy this fucking big would have one person whose spent 8 years screaming at anyone who will listen, and the government just lets him keep going but not a single other person from that program came forward to back him up.

Like, DoD looks into all types of shit. The Men Who Stare at Goats was based on a true story about the DoD trying to recurit clairvoyants and people with telekeniss.

Even tho it never pans out, it's still classified for decades. I think that's what's going on. He really ran that goverment program and they really did try to find aliens

I just don't think they actually did, and while the DoD can't disclose what was or wasn't done, they also can't stop this guy from saying random shit. But they could stop him if it was real, be cause then it would be disclosing classified material

That's my biggest argument for why it's bullshit.

And if it is in the books, it is the most tightly held of intelligence, especially since The Chicks are set to sing the National Anthem to kick off Thursday night and Pink has already been announced as a closing night performer.

A lot of people might not remember, but the Dixie Chicks had their music careers basically ruined for being on the right side of history about 9/11 and the resulting wars.

When damn near everyone in this country fell for Cheny's lies, three young up and coming country singers stood by what is right and their own personal morals.

I knew they dropped the Dixie years ago. but didn't know they were still going as a band.

It's good to have them at the DNC.
