        No, Dems just love to play the center and vote for this kind of bullshit all the fucking time.

        As a group they are not as terrible as Republicans, but they voted overwhelmingly for the Patriot Act and mot other shitty legislation too.

        How are these people Republicans running as Democrats? All of those districts that I know have had Republican challengers fielded.

        Well we do have quite a few Democrats now claiming the 2024 election was hacked. Give it 8 years and the crazy Republicans today might look pretty tame after Democrats continue moving to the right.

            There was one who told a plausible story. Spoonamore? But as soon as you try to verify the number claim, it turns out to be bogus.

            I gotta give c/politics that they removed the previous post, but before they did it had approx. 200 upvotes or more and what appeared to be a majority of users claiming Trump won cause he hacked the elections.

            Here is a link to the post that got removed:

              So just random people? There’s not much point thinking about it. Nothing will happen. And, that energy is better spent thinking about your exit strategy.

          Sure. Standout names on the list for me are Henry Cuellar, a corrupt anti-choice NRA stooge that the party propped up when he was primaried by a progressive, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, head of the DNC during the 2016 Clinton campaign.

          The sort of people who fight progressives and not Republicans.

            Couldn’t agree more. When push comes to shove, the democratic establishment will prioritize defeating the left above all else.

      I voted for you, Allred, you bastard. I hope Texas does secede, we need a serious fucking spanking. I’m so sorry for all the shit my state kicks up.
