- Killing people is bad
- 82 year olds who can’t speak probably should not run for reelection.
- Game show hosts who instigated a violent coup shouldn’t be president.
These views have proven surprisingly unpopular in 2024. Trying to listen and learn.

it is possible that I am in fact wildly out of touch with popular opinion on the left but i continue to believe that murder is bad

We need a Manhattan project to stop the media phenomenon of “The Democratic Party is responsible for everything user based_stalin_1932 says on Twitter while the Republican Party is barely responsible for the things Donald Trump himself says”

There were 24 states that voted at least D+9 in the 2008 presidential election.
Democrats had 59 Senate seats after this.
Two yeas later they had 53 seats.
Four years after that they had 46.
There is definitely an R bias in the Senate, but things change faster than you think.

"Turns out, I really DO fall for the dumbest, scammiest bullshit!"
Oh look, Trump and MAGA lied for 4 years about a “stolen election,” and now we finally realized it was total BS. So funny 🤦♂️

So we can all agree now that tariffs are bad? Fellow Democrats, we're not doing this protectionism thing anymore?
Silver linings, I suppose.

Here is what I will say to everyone now: Please, be kind to each other. Do not drown the energy we need to fight in battles against each other. Whoever was right or wrong does not matter. We need to strengthen, not weaken, our coalition.

There will be no riots, there will be no insurrections. There will only be millions and millions of Americans who quietly say "I thought my country was better than this."

My advice to those of us who are disappointed beyond words tonight: We must act with honor in a world that knows no honor.

If present trends continue, this Trump victory will swamp all the micro-explanations. Shapiro as VP wouldn't have changed this. Keeping Arab-Americans in Michigan wouldn't have changed this. It's all the big stuff -- defeat in Afghanistan, a porous border, inflation, and (yes, this really matters) Biden's refusal to acknowledge reality and step aside in time for Democrats to have a real primary.

They’ll never have influence in the GOP again regardless of tonight.

Folks, if you’re in line to vote, stay in line.
Electing @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz is that important. I mean it.
🇺🇸 Tariff Free Ted 🌐🇺🇦 retweeted
When @KamalaHarris wins tonight, we’ll owe @potus a debt we’ll never be able to repay.

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

I’m proud to vote for @KamalaHarris to reduce taxes for the middle class and to prevent a huge tariff tax increase her opponent has pledged to put in. 🇺🇸 🗳️
