    If you want to combat low voter turn out and a lack of participation may I suggest replacing one unit of Vote Scolding or Celebrity TikTok with one unit of Holding Horrible Dems Accountable or Not Letting Every High Status Dem Rotate In and Out Of Wall St And Corporate Lobbying

    Rahm covered up the police murder of a black kid then couldn’t go anywhere in public in Chicago without getting heckled but ended up at a cushy investment banker job, on ABC News and now advising Biden. THIS shit—more than Russian bots or the far left or w/e—is what sows cynicism

    On the eve of the 2016 election it was a source of a lot of regret among the Clinton camp. BUT Biden just went ahead and adopted the exact same strategy

    Indeed, this was a central theme of both the Clinton and Biden campaigns: Trump was an aberration not representative of the of the GOP and indeed patriotic Real Republicans were welcomed into their orbit and made central to their political project of “normalcy” returning

    That people feel surprised at Mitch Mcconnell’s support for Trump’s insanity is exhibit z that Dems did not make enough effort/failed to tie Donald Trump to Republicans and their brand.

    Rahm Emanuel covered up the police murder of Laquan McDonald...sixteen shots into a seventeen year old body. Emanuel’s political career needs to be over, not revived.

    We must govern with integrity and accountability. Laquan McDonald’s life mattered.

    Suddenly Fox News develops a conscience! oh my god the rats jumping ship had a crisis of faith Lol

    Fox News just cut away from , saying the network could not in good conscience continue to air her false claims, for which she has provided no supporting evidence.

    LOL. Fixed your headline “Evo Morales returned to Bolivia after his MAS party democratically won back the Presidency, a year after a successful US-backed coup removed him from power”

    Bolivia’s former president, Evo Morales, returned to the country on Monday, a year after his failed attempt to keep power tore the nation apart and sent him into exile.

    The Times editorial and non editorial side did more than anyone to push the Bolivia coup, so it's important their fictitious story remain intact. Thus the opaque, non grammatical wording.

    Replying to @adamjohnsonNYC
    Not a single word about the violent far-right political and religious forces that enacted the coup nor the fraudulent OAS report that gave them the necessary 'legal' excuse to do it, truly amazing.

    LOL “a year after his failed attempt to keep power tore the nation apart and sent him into exile” is an all timer. Citations Needed will never run out of material, ever. I’ll be doing this til I’m 97 years old
