    This email kind of confirms the idea that liberalism is built upon nothing but liberals’ insatiable desire to feel intellectually and morally superior to everyone around them

      Yeah they need that feeling of intellectual elevation at all costs, it’s why they hate simplifying their pitch to the American public in any way even if it would win them popular support, and love to cite technicalities to shut down people’s hopes for Dem leaders to do anything.

          It’s just terrible UX anyway, to link to the general website and not directly to your policy page.

            It’s terrible if you actually care about people looking at your policy page.

            It’s perfect if your goals is to make somebody scroll past a donation link to get to your policy page.

    Rallying the World in Support of Ukraine

    Since the start of Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, President Biden has rallied the world to stand with Ukraine, defend democracy, and stand up to autocracy.

          They understand it when the other guys are doing it though. They understand that Russia flying planes right next to their airspace is a threat. They understand that China pushing out western capital in Africa is threat. They also understand that the USSR was threathening the evil empire by stationin nukes in Cuba, although they are militantly uncurious about what made the USSR and Cuba make that decision.

            That was actually Pod Damn America’s Jake Flores, the Pod John response was that Biden’s debate performance was a “fucking disaster,” which drew insane ire from their listeners and the staffers who feed them guests.

            Oof. Yeah they have lost the lanyards which is really something. Every single nyt article now just is filled with calls for his resignation. And all they’re talking about is how the donors are reacting. Amazing really.

            I do hope he drops if nothing else because this shit is just sad. Even trump feels bad for the guy. Watching them weekend at Bernie’s this corpse for six months and then losing every single swing state will be devoid of all joy, not even schadenfreude.

    At some level you must admire these wankers’ commitment to the bit. Genocide Joe is super-Jesus and if reality veers it’s ugly head in there and tries to convince them otherwise then reality itself is wrong.
