It's legitimately the only thing that matters. Every other problem gets 10× easier to solve once Citizen's United is gone...

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online I left BS (haha) for here full time about a month ago. After some entiled chud told me I was invalid because my "Theory of Victory ™️" didn't align with his, I decided that probably wasn't the place for me. Super enjoying this spot though, it actually feels how the web used to in the late 90's. I've missed it...

@mattmay@mstdn.social I was wondering when the Itialian far-right was going to make the play that the new American Pope wasn't Pope-y enough. Thiel is... a choice... for that foil though 🤣

Absolutely agree, because there's no recourse. You either vote for the nazi supporter or the nazi sympathizer. It votes for the candidate we provide, or it gets the hose again.
I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm furious because you're right.

@LibertyOverGov I mean, IMO it's legitimately the only issue that really matters. Every other issue gets 10× easier to solve once Citizen's Umited is gone. There are other issues much more *pressing* at the moment, but that doesn't make this one less important.

@srfirehorseart@ohai.social @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online Thanks! The vibes have been overwhelmingly positive so far. I'm almost enjoying being online again 😌

That's like, the literal embodiment of evil though. When we set aside the ethical concerns, what we have left is, BY DEFINITION unethical. And how every absolute nonce that genuinely uses that phrase fails to realize that, even after much coaxing, is completely beyond me...

@JonChevreau@mstdn.ca @srfirehorseart@ohai.social @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online That's when I signed up for BS. If I had any idea it was going to shittify that quick, I would have started here to begin with, lol.

Isn't it just as easy for me to turn around and say "There's a targeted campaign to run nazi death cultists as Democrat candidates to undermine the party, and Fetterman and Platner are the prime examples."
Framing "thinking he's a horrible choice" as "getting tricked by 'THEM' into thinking it" is a false dichotomy, and doesn't make him a better candidate. It just makes everyone that disagrees "less than".

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @zenkat@sfba.social
Then why did dems not vet this guy, and choose to run someone with actual nazi tattoos? Like, am I really supposed to believe that this guy was the Maine Democratic Party's best choice?
He's absolutely gonna do a Fettterman, but the DNC has, once again, presented a garbage candidate that we "have to" vote for because the stakes are too high not to.

"But if it's not due to drug use or poor choices, and it's literally just circumstantial, then that means it could happen to me, and I need to do something about it...
Nah, I'll just blame it on the drug use."

This is so absolutely wonderful I can hardly stand it. Not only did you make me aware of more than one blind spot I hadn't considered, but you also put a tool in my toolbox for community empowerment.

This is FINE. Dems will definitely only ever use these mechanisms for the Right Reasons ®️, and this would NEVER come back to hurt us, their (reluctant) supporters.*

I don't believe this is at all an actual photo that was taken, but rather something that was photoshopped, possibly by Anonymous, that popped up two elections ago.

@MacBalance@mstdn.games
That would be wonderful, indeed. Perhaps it's built off of some actual photo from around that time, but I'll leave that for a better internet sleuth than me.
