Yeah those were the words I was looking for honestly. He is a good "stop the bleeding" kinda candidate but you ain't gonna get any Bernie Energy out of him.

I don't think he would perform that well. He has decent support in California running against Republicans, but those who are against him are REALLY REALLY against him because of his general heavy-handedness, and he doesn't win too much love from the real left either.

That said, he had handled a lot of things (especially covid) swiftly and decisively enough that support could be drummed up without that much effort. It wouldn't be a sweeping blow out, but it would be possible.

Fresh piss flavor?

(God, the "pee pee tapes" feel like so long ago now...)

Wow. Really dates the strip and reminds me it doesn't take place in modern day when they talk about TV broadcasters not coming on until a certain time...

I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better.

Oh it makes things better alright. Better for the drug companies who now don't have to deal with pesky things like "safety" and "consequences for killing people".

Way too late for that. Trump and co are easily on track to gut every single ounce of functional democracy and ensure that nobody left of Joe Manchin is ever elected again.

same energy as a college frat party that a bunch of sophomores get invited to

No, no, that would be too democratic. Listening to the outcome of an election sounds like some communist bullshit.

Anyone got ten bucks right now on Trump declaring victory in the next 2 hours (from 6:21 pacific time) and saying everything after that is stolen?

No, nothing confusing, it was just designed to fail by the state. Amendments take a 60% supermajority in Florida. This bill only got 57%.

Fuck the will of the people!

My county made elected positions all non partisan. The primary election selects the top two winners, who then go to a runoff in November if no one candidate gets moee than 50% of the vote. It's solved most problems in local politics and elections since then have mostly selected level headed candidates. It's awesome.

 

"zomg russian cyber criminals are using free books to fund their lavish lifestyles!!!!!!1!1!!!!1! you should go support ~~corporate rent seeking publishers~~ 'creators' by paying thousands for basic knowledge!!!11"

Dan Osborn has a chance to break Republican control of the senate with an extremely labor-friendly and human rights friendly policy book. He may not be "liberal" liberal but Nebraska is unlikely to ever flip otherwise.

Dan Osborn is a strong pro-labor independent candidate who has a legitimately good chance of flipping Nebraska out of the GQP's shitty hands. He's sure not a super liberal, but he isn't going to roll over for corporate interests or corruption either, and I consider that a massive win. Deb Fischer is wildly unpopular and a whopping 23% of voters are still claiming undecided in polls that are otherwise tied- this election HAS A CHANCE. The battle is far from over.

Please check out Dan Osborn (https://osbornforsenate.com/) and consider donating and volunteering for his campaign. He needs every tiny ounce of support he can get in Nebraska, he has no party backing and no major PAC in his corner (he even actively rejected a large donation from George Soros) while Fischer has millions of dollars amassed from every corporate donor you can think of.

Ken Paxton is a textbook definition bonafide out-and-out Nazi. Straight up sending the Gestapo to eliminate enemies of the state. He should be removed and jailed for treason, this slimy fucking sack of rotting corpses.
