Change needs to be a mass movement thing or it will fail. Polls can give us a better idea of how to make change happen.

Refusing to allow voters to re-elect their preferred candidate just because they’ve hit some arbitrary time limit doesn’t seem very democratic to me

We definitely have a ton of problems with our campaign finance regulations and enforcement of those regulations which makes it so incumbents have a hugely unfair advantage because they’re just swimming in oceans of perfectly legal bribe money, but terms limits are a bad way to fix that problem imo. Punishes voters for lawmakers being shitty.

Looks like your screenshot is a month out of date (arc)

Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s overall job performance, down slightly from 38% last month.

Whether a 5% drop is “slightly down” or “cratering” is a pretty subjective thing, but that’s a sharper decline than we have seen previously.

They’re not criticizing Trump for acting crazy, they’re criticizing him for extending a cease-fire. Trump is obviously a crazy piece of shit who needs to be removed for a million different reasons, but keeping this cease-fire going isn’t one of them.

We should also be demanding that US troops are withdrawn from the strait of Hormuz and that we work with our non-Israeli allies to reach a multilateral agreement with the government of Iran to reopen the strait and guarantee everyone’s security. Removing Donald is necessary to stop things from getting even worse but just doing that alone and allowing the other idiots in DC to go back to business as usual isn’t going to clean up this mess he created.

On the one hand you’re completely right about the Mirror being a trash rag full of falsehoods, but on the other hand the people in this administration only read trash rag publications and will leak information to them specifically because of that. Like, basically everything about Kristi Noem’s scandals was first reported by the New York Post, which is about as trashy as it gets.

It’s only the speaker of the house’s hometown and in the district he currently represents

Yeah, unfortunately this is just making it easier for connected people to do what they want and sell what they want, but plebs are still going to be getting their asses kicked by shithead cops for having suspicious looking multivitamins

This would be a more responsible use of my tax dollars than like half of what I read about in the news tbh

Our federation should be a welcoming place for refugee posts fleeing tyrannical moderation

Saying someone is a good rage baiter when their shit posting puts them in prison is like saying Timothy Treadwell was good at taking care of bears

BBC says two of the ships were coming from Iranian ports tho

Reality TV presidency

I could really go for some TACOs all of the sudden

CNN found corroboration for key elements of each of the women’s claims, including the former staffer who said she was sexually assaulted.

I think that part’s the exclusive

I feel like if this was just a GOP plot they would hold off until Swalwell won the primary and the Dems were stuck with him

Hasn’t he taken AIPAC money?

It’s more than allegations, this person worked for Swalwell, people saw them together, theres copies of texts they sent a friend at the time saying Swalwell assaulted them, and medical records showing this person got a pregnancy and STI test around that time too. It’s circumstantial evidence and not smoking gun stuff, but it’s more than just allegations.

Not really, could be that this person just hoped this would go away and tried to forget about it but when they saw his name in the news and realized he could become governor and do what they claimed he did to someone else they felt the need to act

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Episcopals

Still, I think every schism probably had people saying “But we already have [religion]” before they went down

Whether or not there are decent evangelicals was kinda beside my point (I was just imagining historical parallels), but I agree and it’s definitely worth repeating
