It's strange how they try to dissuade based on *their* criteria ...
I don't need someone in office who looks like me, or comes from my background. It's completely irrelevant.
I need someone who respects the constitution and is up to the job.
@conservmillen
ACTUAL corruption of the sitting US president that his party tried to remove the last president for looking into?
They spent Trump's entire term throwing one fabricated charge after another, desperately trying to cover THEIR corruption.
That's a big f-ing deal.

WTF do recounts have to do with it?
If I give you 100 counterfeit dollars, you can count them till you drop, they’re still fake.
@DrunkRepub
The “tell” with all of their ham-handed tactics is that they try to appeal to us on the same levels that work with the sheep.
“Oh, they’re just like me! I feel seen. And that’s more important than policy or logic.” - None of the voters they’re trying to reach.

@SocialistMMA
I think it’s bigger than that.
The US/NATO plan for Ukraine was put into motion around 2012. The coup, the civil war, the corruption …
Trump interrupted all of that.
The way they folded all of their anti-Trump actions into the ongoing scheme was pretty clever, honestly.
@alexhoneker
“Global engagement”?
That’s a gross way to describe a series of coups, open-ended military interventions and regime change.
Every one of them sold to US taxpayers under false pretenses, and that’s just the ones they tell us about.
Nah. Step away from trying to defend that.

Thank you all for proving that it’s easier to fool someone than convince they’ve been fooled, but it’s getting tiresome.
You were played. It happens. Usually not for eight years, but whatever.
You don’t have to like Trump, but you DO have to face the fact that most of what

“20 years of science…” meaning mRNA has been studied as a *concept* for 20 years.
And that’s just the delivery mechanism.
There is nothing about those injections that could be described as anything but experimental.
Except maybe the syringe.

What if I told you obvious propaganda like this is counterproductive?
Meaning, watching this obviously staged effort makes me think Russia is *less* authoritarian than I’ve been told.
You seriously need to make better choices.
@mattyglesias
It is MUCH more fascinating how the rest of you became fine with endless war, censorship, government surveillance and overt corporate corruption.
Liberals are still against those things.

I have *never* seen a pro-Haley tweet in the wild.
Not one, even on her own posts. It’s like she only bought the “likes” package at the bot-shop.

Well, that's a relief. So JK Rowling and Dave Chapelle just imagined all the grief of the last few years?
Because last I checked, if you accept trans women and support their right to live as they choose, but fall short of affirming them as literally women, you're a transphobe.

I’ve tried really hard not to weigh in, but …
Why is it transphobic to say trans women aren’t actually women?
Why did the activists decide on a logically and scientifically impossible end goal?

@CherylHines
It still tickles me that people who smear heretics, demonize their opponents, walk, talk and think in absolute lockstep, shouting down any dissent have the balls to keep flogging the 'cult' trope.
To a scientologist, psychiatry is a cult.

Engels and Marx were born into lives of relative comfort and privilege. Good times.

@RealHickory
Well he’s obviously saying Biden *can’t* do that as a straw man of Trumps immunity arguments.
And has the gall to say that *we* don’t understand that anything we allow a president to do can then be used by the other side.
So, things like:
- Spying on rival campaigns
- Funding
@NateSilver538
The “liberal” base just wants to be assured they’re the good guys. Say the right things, hate the right people, bask in the comfort of knowing the team you picked in high school is still the “correct” one.
Anything else confuses them.
@LionelMedia
It's been a long time since I could say anything sounded insane. Never thought I'd see the US turn into the USSR and then STILL try to start a war with Russia.
Honestly, after the last few years I'm starting to question everything.

Calling out empty and divisive identity politics propaganda coming from a “libertarian” think tank?
What exactly is your point?
You’re not still running the tired old “any criticism of our cynical flogging of intersectionality is PROOF of bigotry” program are you?

2023: This crap goes back to the 1950s.

@washingtonpost
What is your end game,

The cycle of lies and gaslighting is well beyond offensive.
Whoever is advising you that this is sustainable or will work out in the end should be fired and you need to start thinking of how you’ll explain yourselves when the time comes.

It’s insane. We have no actual president.
Best guess is that the country is run by BlackRock and the CIA.
Default Democrat voters don’t care, either.
@laurastoobusy
Millennials and some gen x can be forgiven somewhat. They were born into the binary political theater of the 90s through early 2010s.
But boomers? You challenged government abuses no matter the party affiliation. You opposed unnecessary war. You were skeptical of ALL authority

@rogerwaters
Thank you for providing this great example of a typical “avalanche of ad hominem”
This pattern of attack was very effective about ten years ago. Since then we’ve gone through the stages of overuse, diminishing returns and ultimately, paradox.
Do you think it still works?

@RpsAgainstTrump
The beauty of this is that you think any of it is based in reality.
1) Current Trump supporters are absolutely not swayed by celebrity endorsements. That’s silly.
2) Any “Democrat” who listens to Rogan is only a Democrat until their girlfriend leaves the room.

I don’t get the way people are reading into this. If I had to guess, I’d say he made an inappropriate joke or something stupid and got the standard expected response.

That’s what drove me away from Democrats years ago.
You guys have a whole list of current positions which must ALL be adhered to.
Contradictions or incompatibilities be damned. Step out on ONE issue and you will be rebuked.
That’s weird. And very much like an actual cult.
