Same here. Anyone new needs to let me know, email or message me somewhere else. But a lot of people need these things open, and I feel bad for them, and how terribly these things (and the rest of fed gov) are rotting.

Cards Against Humanity apparently bought a list of how the entire country voted in 2020. I bet they would know how to acquire such lists. (And I guess the fascists have lists of us, too. Fun!)

It seems like soon enough, we will all just be blocking everything except contacts from messages and calls. It is absolutely ridiculous how much spam and fraud is sent, and how easily our data is mined and sold.

To think that a Democrat (Gillum, and not even white!) was within 0.5% of governing and deleting Desantis not that long ago in the "swing state"... It's unbelievable how quickly the maga cult has polarized and zombified so many people.

Especially Latinos (+30 R vs 2020?!). Lots of "But I'm not an illegal immigrant!" when the ICE raids start up. "Sorry, your name's on the list." Off to the camps they go. Big whoops.

Likely, although all votes are not counted yet. All while getting fewer votes than previously, so he was very beatable. It seems people were just not excited to vote for Harris.

Coincidentally, a woman has never been elected POTUS, and she shifted right to embrace "former Republicans" while shrugging off progressives. Total coincidence.

Congrats to China, Russia and Israel. Ironic that Biden admin mishandling just one of these issues, even while handling others well, may lead to worst outcome of all three. Perhaps a tiny ME country just changed the course of history. In the dumbest timeline at least, for whatever that's worth.

I love that this article pops up in between others like "US votes for Project 2025 and civil war" and "Man with brain worms who eats roadkill set to run all health agencies".

Also, it will take a few days for all votes to be counted, in more populous areas, California, west coast. Don't know where it will land, but I think it's clear that D's especially did not vote in great numbers.

Happily voted Harris, to defeat the christian fascists. But I think her concession confirms that she was never going to be the fighter we needed.

First, Democrat's gamble on pushing aside the progressive core (thanks to incorrect reading of Biden popularity and protests over Israel's genocide) in favor of a coalition of former Republicans and mythical "decent conservatives" was a huge red flag. It has now proved absolutely catastrophic.

Second, "the high road" has rarely extracted more than the absolute minimum at the slowest possible pace. This election proved it has failed us. Peace is not an option anymore. Unfortunately, we're going to need to fight ruthlessly for every inch. Entrenched billionaire oligarchs, funding literally insane religious extremists and domestic terrorists. They will gleefully turn up the heat on our formerly cold civil war with their brutality over the next few years.

Yup, even my friend Fred the Fungi was just yapping about this, told me to follow the money.
