    There’s zero checks on House candidates apparently…

    Why don’t Dems just pull reverse Sinemas and run as MAGA candidates in the primary then switch parties as soon as they’re in office?

    Like, sure it’s shitty.

    But we’re fighting fascism, historically this would still be a very minor response compared to what’s normally required.

    If we’re going all out, that’s the type of “low road” shit we need, not attempts at edgy memes that almost undoubtedly pushed the youth away even though boomers thought they were hilarious.

      As simple as it sounds, I think it’s a lot more difficult for semi well adjusted people to be as forwardly shitty as Republicans even if just to win an election. All a Republican has to do to pull a fast one is shut up. One requires doing something bad while the other is quite literally doing nothing at all.

      Because they’re not that strongly opposed to fascism, unlike you or me.

    Do people not go to jail anymore? If a normal person got caught with $200k from wire fraud they don’t get asked nicely to give it back.

    It’s taking a long time to get this asshole into prison.

    I wonder if he was inspired by donvict to get into government and be effectively above the law.
