While this is certainly true, I think it’s also just the fact that he’s a democrat and so republicans and a fair bit of the media paint him as such. Republicans will paint literally any democrat as a “far left extremist” because they know that it helps motivate both their own base and also the more centrist voters to vote against them later. We could literally elect a potato as president that does nothing but sit around and be a potato but if it ran as a democrat then it’d eventually be called a left wing extremist.

Ah yeah huh. Goofy thing: in my district there are two candidates running against each other whose campaigns paint each other as "dangerously liberal" and "far left" and "socialist" but they're both Trumper Republicans. 😂

Their positions and talking points are actually aligned but apparently in order to run as a Republican you gotta scare the voters into thinking the other candidate is a scaaaaaary liberal even if they're literally you but with a different haircut 🤣

If they manage to pasa any meaningful legislation, 2024 is anything but served to the Democrats.

Without taking into account Republican gerrymandering and the Florida Democrats fiasco
 
Nobody should vote for Joe Biden, tbh.

He is a white supremacist and that's why he is enabling the genocide in Gaza.

IMHO.

Just so angry today.`
 
Seems the gloves are off with the Biden-Harris camp. That press statement towards Donald Trump was devastating x_x

Arizona Supreme Court says we should go back to 1864.

Abortion in Arizona set to be illegal in nearly all circumstances, state high court rules

The 1864 law mandates prison time for abortion providers and only allows for abortion if the mother's life is at risk.

One of the weirdest parts about this is Arizona was admitted to the Union nearly 50 years later in February 1912. These chuckleheads are like, “Sure, yeah, let’s go back to before we were even a state.” Like what? Really, y’all are doing this?

Go for it, I guess. Banning abortion is unpopular with the Republican base yet the party/politicians keep chugging along because they don’t know what else to do. It was better as a talking point to galvanize voters who wanted to stand for something yet couldn’t imagine a world without it. They were a dog chasing cars then they finally caught the car and realized they never had a plan for when/if they caught it.
 
Republicans are catering to the extremist White Nationalists because that's where the money's at for them. They don't care for the consequences because they have a militant MAGA America base, and when the GOP says the elections were rigged, their blind follows will be up in arms for them. Nevermind the fact they're gerrymandering and supressing votes.
 
Two shitty opinions from the SCOTUS today:

Protest organizers in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi are on the hook for anything anyone does at a protest.

www.vox.com

The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

It is no longer safe to organize a protest in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas.
www.vox.com www.vox.com

Let's Idaho law making gender affirming care a felony go into effect even while under litigation.

From what I'm hearing with Trump's request for SCOTUS to give him presidential immunity is that the likely decision is no immunity, but maximum delay.

Earliest we will hear is May 9th.

It looks like Alito supports the idea of immunity, saying that without it every future president will be encouraged to resort to force every time they lose an election.

so like

fucks sake

I know this is supposed to be a serious thread and all, but if she gets picked I can already see the John Wick memes that'll flow
