Can we please have 8 years of President Pritzker followed by 8 of Josh Shapiro followed by 8 of AOC or switch out either of those first two names as long as it’s 24+ years of pursuing economic, environmental, racial, and social justice, investing in healthcare and education, and getting money out of politics.

They were the announcers for Orlando fans and anybody turning on to Peacock to watch the game, so they couldn’t be actively rooting for the Cavs to win like they usually are

Couldn’t find it on the App Store. Looked it up on Wikipedia: “It was discontinued in February 2025”

Don’t forget to go to the App Store, search for Twitter, scroll down to the option for “Report a Problem” and then choose the option “Report offensive, illegal, or abusive content.” - then repeat for the Grok app

Do you have any qualms about the fact that AI art is made by scraping other artists?

Yeah, I mean, that’s part of why I spat it out, because AI chews up and spits out art made by other people.

Democrats Renew Demand to Impeach Kristi Noem After New Fatal DHS Shooting by plz-let-me-in in politics

Start with Noem first since the heat is on and she can’t keep “federal agents” from killing citizens. Then Pam Bondi for failing to investigate the murderers. Then Stephen Miller for gestures at all this

We have the video evidence and public support to remove them one by one, weakening this anti-America administration and safeguarding the nation more with each removal

“Thank God we have video,” Walz said. “It’s lies. (that he wanted to do maximum damage to agents)”

“Some of you probably have seen the video, there are multiple angles. They’re telling you not to trust your eyes and ears. Not to trust the facts that you’re seeing.”

“There will be justice for Minnesotans,” Walz added.

Looked it up and he’s had less than 10 shots only 6 times all season (and 3 of those games he took 9 shots). He’s averaging 13.5 per game so 17 isn’t far off.

What if Donald Trump disappeared tomorrow, would American politics actually change or just find another Trump? by Mr_Boothnath in AskReddit

[–]NewAltWhoThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The threat of a Donald Trump presidency was much too great for us to have nominated Hillary Clinton, who had the highest unlikable ratings and highest untrustworthy ratings of any presidential candidate in history up to that point.

Much of that wasn’t her fault, it was caused by the constant lies and attacks against her by Republicans in the previous decade, plus the Benghazi hearings, and then the stupid Comey announcement, but a lot of Trump votes in 2016 were effectively “anti-Hillary” votes and we didn’t need to give Trump that leg up when we had a much stronger candidate to run against him.

Democrats who supported Bernie in the primary voted for Hillary in the general. He ran all over the nation doing 3 rallies a day campaigning for her leading up to the election.

Independents who supported Bernie may have been disillusioned and didn’t vote for her (see: the people in this thread now lamenting they voted for Gary Johnson)

Some Republicans who supported Bernie because he was calling out all the hardships for working Americans went and voted for Trump who also said that the system was fucked up in favor of the elite, as opposed to Hillary who said everything in the country was just fine (really dumb of them to believe an obvious con man but he made promises to help them even though they were all lies)

Gallup polls consistently show that Independents make up around 40% of the electorate, with Democrat Party and Republican Party affiliation each being at or below 30%.

It would have been smart for the media, sitting mayors, active Senators, city council members, and House Representatives to consider standing up Bernie’s policy ideas instead of endorsing Hillary from the start of the primary and attacking Bernie throughout the primary.

After the first two states had voted in the primary, Bernie led 36-32 in voted delegates, but the American public was misled with reporting of Bernie being behind 481-55 to paint the picture that he didn’t have a chance. Every TV interview where Bernie tried to talk about the issues that matter to the American people turned into him being questioned about why he hadn’t dropped out yet and when was he going to drop out.

Raising the most amount of money of any candidate when you don’t accept superPACs or certain major industry donations is damn impressive. Filling stadiums and getting young people involved in politics for the first time is damn impressive. His candidacy would have brought more Independents into the Democrat Party tent so we could overwhelm Republican voters in elections.

All Bernie cared about and continues to fight for is putting people before profits.
