There's no doubt. We just gotta hope their duplicity can work in our favor some of the time

I assumed it was Ted Cruz and I was proven correct. As much as I have disdain for both of them, I'd love to see Heidi exact some revenge on Trump for his misogynist drivel directed her way as an insult to her husband (who deserves far worse)

If Xitter is truly the "global town square" that they claim it is, how have they not been sued for election interference yet?

Did all the competitors understand that they were striving for chocolate medals? Seems a bit like a weird choice to me.

What do you think is at the bottom of these weirdo's barrel? Do they just try to claim that Harris and Walz are both secretly gay? Or trans? Or both?

As they say, aim for the moon... And if you miss...I guess you get to enjoy the immensity of the universe? Optimism might be foolish but here we are narrowly avoiding authoritarian control day by day. So that's at least something

I promise I'll never say that jd vance violated a couch in a fit of reckless lust ever again.

One good thing about this era we find ourselves in is the growing understanding that the rich and powerful aren't smart or good in any way. As soon as all of us realize this, the sooner we can achieve a world run by those that are intelligent and interested in actually running things properly.

Maybe it's his feeble attempt at reverse psychology? It's probably something more nefarious but we must account for stupidity

I might be misremembering my marvel lore but didn't Tony Stark have a twin? If so, I could see an evil twin story making some sense

Fear not, we won't need to debate this once free education is robbed from natural born citizens through the dissolution of public schools like the right truly desires. Before too long the functional lower class will be resigned to the same loathsome state that you and people like you ascribe to these so called "illegals"

As someone who was raised evangelical in the very evangelical southern states, I think the American Christian religion has quite the part in pushing things for the country both further right and further capitalist. The evangelical work ethic combined with late stage capitalist propaganda create an environment that is toxic to notions like ownership of the means of production going to the people or the state being responsible for many things at all.

There's a lot of contempt bred in working class people toward the government generally due to capitalists destroying its capabilities to actually make things better. This function is creating a feedback loop that is actively pushing us even further toward a blatant fascist oligarchy (as opposed to the secret fascist oligarchy that has been functioning for at least half a century)

With all that said, as everything for our country is pushed further right the left has been dragged in that direction due to the goalposts being further and further dragged in the opposite direction.
