I...can someone explain to me what it means when all Democrats can talk about is how scared they are of Republicans?
"Why don't people want to vote us!!!" they all whine incessantly while actively and forcibly framing literally every opinion they have in terms of "are the worst people in the world gonna get mad tho".
Frankly, I don't understand how anyone who identifies as a Democrat can have any self-respect at this point. Get a HOLD of yourselves. Fuck.

Now that Keir Starmer seem to be offering concessions to the disability cut rebels (although they might be wise to see the shape they finally take early next week), those Stramer-loyalist who stood up to defined the cuts, might be wondering whether they should do that again.... they're being made to look pretty foolish (and, of course, callous).
Overall the entire affair (disability cuts, rebellion, late/grudging concessions) has been a massive unforced error....

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hand down a pivotal decision that could finally put an end to one of the Left’s favorite judicial tricks: nationwide injunctions designed to paralyze conservative executive action.
According to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a looming Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions could have “enormous” impacts on the Trump administration.
Turley said Tuesday that the high court will likely crack down on rogue activist judges.
The SCOTUS is poised to decide on the practice by federal judges that can currently halt executive branch policies affecting the entire country.
Conservatives have argued that injunctions have been strategically sought in left-wing jurisdictions.
The moves are part of a strategy to undermine the Trump administration’s agenda on immigration enforcement and deportations.
“It’s going to be an enormous decision potentially,” Turley explained.
The legal scholar noted that a decision may come on Thursday.
“For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, ‘Enough. We’re not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this.”
The amount in some flu vaccines is roughly equivalent to the amount of mercury found in a three-ounce can of tuna fish....
overall, autism rates did not decline after thimerosal was removed from the vaccines, as many anti-vaccine groups suggested it would. Instead, the rates increased.
It is likely akin to sunk-cost. They have already spent so much of their life having a thing to point at, that they don't want it to have been wrong the whole time. Even though it was known to be wrong pretty much right away, that was already too late for some.
Some mindsets require assigning blame to an external locus in order to move on. There has to be no chance it was "their fault" even though it's hard to really describe genetics as such...
There hasn't really been anything else to suggest a fixed external potential source. So if this one is proven wrong, they are out of options. Ignoring, of course, that it has already been proven wrong. But, that is the reason why they feel it hasn't. Because it's so very important to them that it is right.
And of course barring all that, even the most profoundly affected individuals with Autism rarely blame their condition for the lowered quality of life, if any, they blame their surroundings or surrounders incapability of adjusting to their needs. With proper surroundings and surrounders, even at it's worst, the downsides are manageable and the upsides can be really nice/useful.

"Liberals think Republicans are violent because we own guns."
No we think you're violent because:
1. Your sign at CPAC said "We are all domestic terrorists"
2. 71% of extremist violence since 2008 has been explicitly right wing compared to 3% left wing
3. You staged a violent insurrection on Jan 6 which killed people
4. You tried to assassinate Kamala Harris not once but three separate times during her presidential run
5. You broke into the home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and beat her husband in the head with a hammer
6. You broke into the home of Representative Melissa Hortman and assassinated her, murdered her husband, and shot their dog
7. You broke into the home of Senator John Hoffman and shot him and his wife
8. Your president just bombed Iran for no fucking reason
9. You are currently in the middle of enacting a mass genocide of brown people
And... I'm going to hold you by the hand when I say this - WE OWN GUNS TOO. We're just not psychotic mass murderers like you are.

Happy Feast Day of St. Josemaria Escriva!
"Christian optimism is not a sugary optimism, nor is it a mere human confidence that everything will turn out all right. It is an optimism that sinks its roots into an awareness of our freedom, and the sure knowledge of the power of grace. It is an optimism that leads us to make demands on ourselves, to struggle to respond at every moment to God's call."
— St. Josemaria Escriva

This is where the record scratch hits for me — the idea that addressing cost of living is somehow some fantasy consideration rather than trying to make an unworkable reality workable. What exactly is more pragmatic in our society than "I need to be able to pay my bills"?

Larry Summers (seriously he’s still around?), a guy from a self-described “centrist” group called Third Way. And the 3rd quote they got? It was “Republicans Against Trumpism.” REPUBLICANS!
Good job buying the hype and not reading who the “Democrats” criticizing Mamdani are. Neither the AP nor this poster are going to let facts get in the way of Dem-bashing.
