  • Okay...Not really sure what you're getting at here. Great that you don't support being a racist against people who are Jewish, that wonderful? I mean that should be just the default position of any decent human being, try not to be racist.

  • That simply shows that this was a hotly contested primary that drew out voters in Deerborn, okay no real argument from here, I agree but what else are you trying to point out with this isolated statistic?

    I mean okay, 2024 primary had a 24 percent turn out rate and the general had a 75 percent turnout rate while this 2026 primary had a 27 percent turn out rate overall.

    All of this doesn't tell me much outside of the this we've both said other than maybe we'd expect a mild uptick in voter turnout in the general.

  • After two decades of donating and volunteering for progressives, hell yes this should be celebrated.

    AIPAC indicates it will continue spending against El-Sayed through November

  • Hard to tell much of anything considering this is a primary vs a full blow presidential election but who knows.

  • Now in the grand tradition of Missouri, I'm looking forward to the Republican state legislature to pass this via a bill as is tradition just like when Right to Work was voted down.

    “I remain committed to working with the General Assembly in the years ahead on ways to continue cutting taxes, growing our state’s economy, and pursuing conservative policies that help Missouri families keep more of what they earn,” Kehoe added.

    Yup, nothing like thwarting the will of the people and the people continuing to vote in malignant idiots into office that run on thwarting the will of the people.

    Never change Missouri.

    Missouri Voters Reject Ballot Measure to Phase Out Income Taxes

    Sanders appeared to be referring to a YouGov survey that found that 24 percent of those who voted for Clinton during the 2008 primary backed McCain over Democratic nominee Obama in the general election.

    https://www.wbur.org/npr/545812242/1-in-10-sanders-primary-voters-ended-up-supporting-trump-survey-finds

    Fully 12 percent of people who voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries voted for President Trump in the general election. That is according to the data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study

  • Are they? When they vote in a "bipartisan" way and ensure the fascists get 90% of their way? Nah, I've done and defended the harm reduction for the past decade and a half now, constantly holding my nose to vote for the assholes only to get mostly fascist bullshit. Nothing like Democrats who voted to give ICE MORE MONEY!

    Nah, I vote in every primary for who I want and if after I vote someone who's going to run with a Republican, fuck them. I'll take the quick burn to the ground vs only burning slightly slower, not like these milquetoast assholes are actively doing anything to prevent it, welcoming fascism coming anyways.

    Nah, I'm over the bullshit Blue no matter bullshit for no-idea, do nothingings especially when it's not reciprocated.

  • Yeah, blue no matter who right you bunch of worthless, hypocritical assholes?

    I'm stuck having to vote for Katie Hobbs who's supposedly running with a god damn Republican so you assholes better man the fuck up too.

    It Wasn’t a Blowout, but El-Sayed Won. Get Behind Him, Democrats.

  • Honestly though, we're not even talking about perfection. We're not even getting anyone that's better that the stock, spineless, no-idea Democrat in a lot of places. I get why people sit out when all you hear is no big ideas other than, REPBULICAN IS BAD, VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO.

  • Your first line tells me you're a pathetic Democratic cuck that MLK warned us all about. Oh, no someone has an opinion that differs from mine, there for it must an idiot or mean disinformation! What a fucking pathetic joke that I expect from the standard Democrat. Can't even have a conversation without some ad hominem attack from the stock dumbass Democrat instead of a nuanced conversation.

    Glad you like having 100K kids starving because moderate Democrats are so pathetic they can't fathom on how to push back against fascists and that's the best you can do for your justification for "harm reduction". Fuck off. I'm tired of the bare minimum better than a god damn Republican and that's what I see from the Democratic party at this point. Just pathetic, no action, no idea assholes that take corporate and foreign money and barely work for the American people.

    Me I'd done even more so with Democrats that before and their pathetic crap and slowly killing everyone vs doing it quickly and painfully to make sure people wake the fuck up. Jesus fuck, you had millions that sat out the vote in the last major election because people are tired of the whole dumbass mantra about blue no matter, which isn't reciprocated btw when a progressive manages to get the nomination, who instead of standing for something and you're whole shtick is to just keep fucking that chicken. It's pathetic and honestly I'm just about done with the Democratic white savior, do nothing, bullshit. Fuck off with your Republican nonsense.

  • And notice how Democrats did fuck all at the state level fail to push back or tell Republican to fuck all the way the fuck off. Hell the Democrats at the Federal level didn't fight nearly hard enough against the BBB that starved families and children so I would really expect nothing less from shitty Democrats at the state and local levels either.

    Nope, you just had moderate Democrats lay down, roll over like submissive little asshats begging for more corporate money and now aligning with Republicans, don't ever forget that even this Kamala endorsing asshole Republican believed in the same thing about gutting the social safety net and if you believe this Shitty Republican Christian now believes in a safety net for non-whites, well I've got multiple bridges to sell you.

    And now you're literally aligning with Republicans who in their heart of hearts want to gut America. Great job guys.

  • Honestly, I'm almost at the point where I really don't want to vote for a shitty Democrat over a MAGA.

    Slowly slide right with every vote or let the mother fucker burn bright and hot, I'm really leaving towards the bloodhound gang.

    I mean look at what happened when voting for Katie Hobbs, you've now got 400K people, 100K kids starving due to capitulation in SNAP and she's reported to be running with a Republican now.

    What the ever loving fuck is the point of voting Democrat when you're literally saying you're aligned with Republicans? And harm reduction? 400K people and 100K kids starving, starving like I had to go through growing up being food insecure, isn't fucking harm reduction and none of these assholes put up any sort of a fight to stop it. Just let "Compassionate" Christian Republicans just steamroll them like soft ass asphalt.

  • Well fuck, not even trying to say you're not Republican-lite at this point just fucking flat out saying Democrats are literally Republicans.

  • federal prosecutors admitted that the DOJ hadn’t fully investigated the matter because the pool hadn’t actually been drained, and the lining was “mostly obscured” by water. Federal prosecutors blamed the Department of the Interior for initially claiming that the damage was “entirely caused by vandals.”

    This is what happens when you let morons who barely passed their classes and scraped past the bar become Federal prosecutors and being led by a lush.
