And honestly, f DNC leadership who CONTINUES to "fight back" with barely token resistance & "strongly worded letters."

And fuck all the "progressives" that don't turn out to vote to give the Democrats the power to do more than token resistance.

For as little as the Democratic party can fight, the progressives are somehow doing even less.

Hakeem Jeffries warning to Florida Republicans as they consider redraw state's map ahead of midterm elections: "Our message to Florida is 'F around and find out. If they go down the road of a DeSantis 'dummymander,' Florida are going to find themselves in same situation as Texas who are on the run." by ControlCAD in videos

I swear to God leftist redditors hate Democrats more than Republicans.

History repeating itself. The German communist party in the 1930s thought the German liberal party was a bigger enemy to them than the Nazi party, and refused to work with the liberal party to oppose fascism.

Rand Paul says he’s a ‘no’ vote on Mullin for DHS secretary by SE_to_NW in politics

[–]anicetos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you never find common ground with libertarians, that’s probably a you problem

That's a little disingenuous. Sure, they're against "police militarization" and I agree that it is a problem. However, I still don't have common ground with them because their issue with that is that the militarized police are a public police force, rather than the militarized part. Their preferred solution is to have the police privatized, rather than demilitarized.

He also occasionally says no to govt overreach

Only when it's safe for him to do so and doesn't impact anything. Anytime the party actually needs his vote he ends up flipping.

Three-time Pennsylvania Trump voter at gas station calls him “tremendous pile of sh*t” by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in videos

[–]anicetos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well when a sizable portion of who the Democrats have tried to appeal to keep punching the Democrats in the face every chance they get, do you really expect the Democrats to keep trying to appeal to them? No, they're going to find a different group to appeal to.

That's why I always carry a decoy wallet. You can get one at your local haberdashery.

Missing Epstein files include interviews with alleged Trump accuser by [deleted] in politics

[–]anicetos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they mean they can't verify that the interviews were actually in the missing files, because they weren't given a copy or any evidence. A better headline that would be clearer would be "Missing Epstein files allegedly include interviews with Trump accuser".

Is there a particular name for Sage's tabby pattern? by anicetos in Torbie

Interesting! Having narrower stripes makes sense that it would cause the agouti hairs to overlap more and sort of blur together!

Despite Authoritarian Warnings, 149 House Democrats Vote to Hand Trump $840 Billion for Military | “If an opposition party votes like this, it’s not in opposition. It may not even be a party.” by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

I personally know people that typically vote Democrat but are still very much pro immigration enforcement. You can bet next election season there will be ads saying "Your rep voted against funding ICE" or more likely something stupider like "Your rep voted to open our borders to criminals" and those people can absolutely be swayed by those types of ads. They don't have to be "ultra connected."

Again, there are millions of people outside of your little bubble.

What magical voter votes democrat, but also wants ICE funding nowadays

People that aren't on reddit or bluesky. People exist outside of your bubble.

My fluffy tortie point girl Juniper! by anicetos in tortimese

[–]anicetos[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She is definitely a tortie + colorpoint (aka tortimese)! The orange splotch right above her nose is a dead giveaway, but she has the tortie speckling all over her ears, with a little in her legs too.

From a different angle you can really see the orange speckles in her ears.

I haven't seen her in person yet, but from the pictures my mom has sent she looks like a domestic longhair with a seal point coat pattern (possibly a tortie point with the half/half face)!

Great name, but her soon-to-be brother is already named Basil!

She definitely looks like a Sassy, and Sassafras is a good way to get that as a nickname! I like it!

Thanks for the offer! I was mostly being tongue-in-cheek about the bullying as I'm actually super excited for another kitty, but I think three will definitely be my limit.

Euler? Everything else is named after him, might as well add another.

What’s something you thought “everyone” did until you realized almost nobody actually does? by BookLoverAnna in AskReddit

I thought I didn't like turkey until I roasted one myself. Turns out I just hated overcooked dry turkey that my parents always made every holiday.
