    Marjorie Q Greene is having a sad. The Justice Department refused to intervene. People are mocking her! Yes, her! And using bible verses!

    Poor Klan mom. First Amendment means mockery is not a crime.

    Here is an analogy I ran into last night and decided to screenshot. All credit to random r/politics poster:

    I'll go with Taxi A easy, because this is the choices we have currently, and it is the only valid option.

    It's like you're not even having this conversation with me. I'm not arguing against voting Democrat. I'm arguing that we actually vote for the best Democrat for a change.

    I didn't say politicians are all the same. In fact, I've publicly stated in here that I voted for Biden over Trump, simply because Biden was less shitty than Trump.

    But I also said that I didn't expect him to do much. And I've been proven pretty well right... What I have said is that Biden is everything wrong with Democrats and most everything wrong with Republicans.

    I expected Biden to be slightly better than Dubya. And that's about where he's been. He's Manchin. He's Lieberman.

    Democrats need to be better or we'll just keep getting the same results that gave us Trump. And a failed insurrection is just a trial run.

    You can hang your hat on changing the electoral college. But it will not happen. You're just pissing in the wind. Democrats just need to be better.

    Yep. And many Democrats don't really believe the shit they are pretending to advocate for. Many Republicans do. At least, they believe it will be good for them.

    Most of the Democrats don't actually care if the middle class struggles. It's not personal for them. They'll be fine. So they don't go to the mats for those causes.

    Except Taxi A actually takes you to 15th and kicks you out of the taxi to walk alone, saying sorry, but Taxi B isn't letting them drive to 5th anymore. Which, fine, it's better than Taxi B, but you'd have been better off getting a bunch of friends together and walking.

    Steve Bannon, convicted criminal, said President Biden should be arrested for criticizing the Supreme Court on foreign soil. Tuckums Carlson, on foreign soil, Brazil, claimed the president is putting opponents on prison.
    Actually what his heroes Orban and Putin do and what Trump wanted to do.
