It’s not pearl clutching, I’m saying it’s not a well designed comic. If he wanted it to be about Covid, he could have drawn it that way.

As seen by how you’re saying “no, people died of Covid” and other people are saying “no, people are being deported” and you both are at least notionally interpreting this political cartoon that has labels, none of which mention any of that proves you have to make one too many leaps in logic.

It’s just generic “Trump bad” which like I said, I agree with, I just don’t like the cartoon.

It was rejected for being extremely distasteful.

It’s not wrong, but there’s no tie in to the administration that makes the image need to be the scene of thousands of people murdered by terrorists.

If you think in terms of “lanes” AOC is the only left wing potential candidate on there, 21% support is actually not persuasive in her odds to actually be the candidate.

I feel very good about her chances to run the Bernie playbook and end with a top 3 amount of delegates but in an actual primary the lanes would clear up as people drop out and it is hard to see her consolidating support from like, Gavin Newsome.

Reagan was a lot of things but he sure wasn’t a Russian asset.

South Africa, so well known for being racist against white South African emerald mine heirs.

This is the second time Donald Trump has been elected with full control of both the House and Senate. It is not surprising that an old man in the same scenario would behave the same.

Stock market won’t be abolished. So I guess you gotta hope for 1 outta 2

After the 2016 election, until the 2024 election, the Democrats won every election of every National political body except the House in 2022. It was a solid run electorally.

You can complain about what those political bodies accomplished, but not that they didn’t win.

The reason sanctuary cities exist is because law enforcement in those cities needs community buy-in to help solve other more important crimes. A witness to a murder or a victim of domestic violence might not come forward if they are undocumented and might get deported for talking to the police.

No way to really track it because by definition they’re going unreported but I can only imagine what kind of horror show is going unreported due to these raids.

Progressives have even less power. You want them to all resign and retire?

The Democrats in question would likely say they’re upset progressives are getting mad at Democrats as if they have the power to pass bills or do much of anything. Yelling “do something” isn’t helping when your party doesn’t have any power.

Ironically the most power Democrats have is thanks to the filibuster, which Progressives campaigned against for years.

Tariffs too. It’s just a bit of “short term pain”…meaning, for about 4 years until someone comes in and reverses the horrible policies.

Yes he would.

I spent his first 4 years hyper tuned in and stressing, and I called 0 Senators, wrote 0 letters, made 0 impact. THAT is the wrong call.

Either stop paying attention or take the time to actually contribute to the political process. Call your local political party and ask what you can do.

He has never won as the incumbent.

This one won’t happen though. It doesn’t have the votes. It would require a Constitutional amendment, and thus a LOT of Democrats on board.

You can’t freak out about every possible thing.

It obviously won’t get close to passing but it would be incredible for Democrats if it did. He has zero margin in the House, nothing major is passing into law except tax cuts. All his executive order policies are inflationary.

So either he’s crashing the economy, taking the blame for continued inflation, or getting nothing of consequence done. And he’d be 83 and asking for four more years. He’d get crushed.

None of the news you read on this app matters. This is at least an interesting tidbit.

It’s a plurality and not a majority, pretty far from a mandate. It’s a legal win.

They did have a primary.

And Hillary won her primary popular vote against Bernie and you’re still pissed about it so seems like the method isn’t the problem for you, it’s that they (“they” being Democrats according to the party rules) don’t pick whoever you like.
