I wonder how the folks who voted for Trump or abstained from voting because they support Palestine feel about Israel being entirely free to engage in expansionism now?

Might as well define the Earth as flat and the Moon as green cheese while he’s at it.

Do these fuckers have literally nothing else to do than wage wars against reality?

“Plenty” was not enough. The pre-election criticism looks like it worked exactly as intended.

You have to understand, the people who constantly attacked Harris before the election now have to figure out some way to make her just as bad as Trump, to excuse their own behavior. Is it disgusting? Yes. Is it reprehensible? Yes. Is it absolutely predictable as a means of trying to escape responsibility for the rancid shit hurricane that will be Trump Part 2? Yes.

Shifting blame by… checks notes… analyzing the demographics of voters.

I’m starting to think Texas might very well go blue this year because of it.

You’re kidding, right? Right now, the front page consists of whatever stupid shit Trump has done recently, downvoted crap pushing Putin’s favorite “anti-war leftist candidate,” and positive news about Kamala Harris and her campaign.

I’m sure the usual suspects will be along shortly to explain how this isn’t what it absolutely, positively is.

He didn’t do himself any favors when he refused to admit the 2020 election wasn’t stolen and acted like the slippery weasel he is when questioned on abortion.

What actions would you propose? Be specific.

4%

That’s… That’s pretty low.

Yeah, this guy’s ramping up his activity like he’s being paid for it.

(Note to moderators: I am not accusing anyone of being a Russian troll, I’m simply describing someone’s rather prodigious and homogeneous recent activity.)

That’s the fucking POINT. We don’t have a great democracy. We want one, but we’re currently fucked by the undemocratic electoral college, a system specifically designed to winnow our choices down to two.

So your options are a member of a rather pedestrian centrist party, or a deranged and demented monster.

If you’re not American, as implied by your comment, then you may be used to functional democratic systems. Well, we’re currently stuck with what we’ve got. So as an outsider looking in, who do you want in charge of the world’s largest military? Harris or Trump? Pick one.

☐ Trump
☐ Harris

Pick one.

Like I said: Not serious.

We’re done. Bye.

I’m not really going to relax until December 17th. That’s when the electoral college meets to vote.

Amen (and thanks for the links).

He says he’s going to vote for Trump. I have a suspicion that quite a number of politicians who gobble his mushroom publicly in order to court the loony vote will privately vote for Harris.

Profiles in courage they are not.

It takes a simple plurality to eliminate the filibuster.

Thank you. With that one sentence, you’ve made it clear I never have to take any of your assertions seriously.

It takes a majority to invoke the “nuclear option” and override Senate Rule XXII, not a plurality. Given the makeup and structure of the Senate, a plurality that is not also the majority on any given vote is for all intents and purposes impossible.

The “nuclear option” for overcoming the filibuster and changing its rules didn’t even exist until Harry Reid came up with the idea in 2013. Before that, it was just a given that the only way to overcome a filibuster was by reaching 60 votes in favor of cloture.

Since that time, the Senate has only been either in Republican hands, or in razor-thin majority Democratic hands. There are several Democratic senators from conservative states who are on record since 2013 as opposing ending the filibuster for legislation.

That means any attempt to do so for the last ten years would have been a non-starter. And the only way to change that is to elect more Democrats, not fewer. Which you oppose.

So like I said, I’m done making the mistake of taking you seriously.

She. And part of her platform as mayor is a massive increase in homeless shelter beds, specifically to get homeless people off the streets and into safer environments.

So… She’s actively not “driving them away,” near as I can tell.
