          Let’s just say that one notable account continues to return2 bad arguments, bad-faith accusations, terrible jumps in logic, and both-sides-bad complaints.

            I can think of half a dozen users off the top of my head parroting identical wedge-driving talking-points almost verbatim to the point I often wonder if they’re all the same person.

    I am still not the biggest fan of Kamala (she did a lot of good work but she was still basically a cop) but she is kicking massive amounts of ass. Hitting all the high notes and making it clear she is perfectly willing to “go low”.

    It is just so fucking refreshing after decades of Democrats talking around issues and evil and… Kamala is straight up talking about how this is about basic human rights and that trump led a violent insurrection.

    [edit] And yup. there we go. Lock down that border! Still hopeful that the immigration reforms actually come through but… cops gonna cop[/edit]

      If the dems run the table the fillabuster can be ended, and the Supreme Court can be expanded and fixed.

      They will do a real border bill not the draconian one.

        It could have ended when we had a supermajority under Obama. It could have ended with a simple majority under Biden.

        It will never be ended.

    If Biden is doing such a good job, and things are going good… why is Harris talking about changing everything on Day 1? I don’t get it… they’re in power now, and yet, everything is STILL Trump’s fault…
