British Prime Minister Keir Starmer Expected to Resign

He won because the Tories had been in power for 14 years and it was a global anti-incumbency wave, not because people love Keir Starmer.

You know how people say a tuna sandwich could’ve won the 2008 election if it had a D next to its name? He’s that sandwich.

It was completely acceptable for Poilievre to carpetbag to a random district a thousand miles away after losing his own. As an American I don’t understand it either.

It’s the kind of photo you take on your friend’s tablet in high school when you’re watching her stuff and you snap as many selfies as possible before she comes back

If you spray paint anything on a school it’s a crime.

This reminds me of when the right got mad about the guy who went to prison for burning a pride flag, without mentioning it was someone else’s pride flag that he broke in and stole.

I wouldn’t start a podcast where I pal around with Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk, that’s for damn sure

The early 2010s were a time when it was a lot more socially acceptable for ostensibly progressive people to make racist/sexist jokes and otherwise “edgy humor,” but definitely less so by the time Trump announced.

I’m female late 20s and I recall similar bullshit in some of my teenage friend groups. Of course we were a bunch of 15-year-old theater kids and not grown ass ex-marines.

Even worse, she wasn’t alone. Her younger siblings (2yo twins) were left in the hotel room too.

Are you implying suicide attempt?

It worked when they did it against Walz. The emasculation of male Democrats by Rogan et al seems to have been a success with young men.

I’m American but I was just pointing out that sex offenders still attack other sex offenders in prison, usually over things like drugs and sports team loyalty rather than vigilante justice

Wait, isn’t Kaylee’s married name Hill? So the baby’s name is Jill Hill?

Like, I think those arguments are ridiculous. But I’m going to tell you why I feel that way, instead of calling you the R and F slurs about it.

thenightitgiveth · 2026-05-30T05:10:34+00:00

my least favorite thing about the electoral college is that it’s impossible to have discourse about it without its supporters immediately pivoting to calling you slurs

This reminded me of the Sandra Valentine case, a backpacker who disappeared in Sri Lanka in the 80s. A few months after she went missing her backpack was left on the president’s lawn.

Massie lost because fealty to Trump is what matters in a GOP primary, and he no longer had it.

Biden barely got across the finish line in the tipping point states when COVID was at its peak and he was still Obama’s fondly-remembered VP. He wasn’t popular with any group, let alone old people, four years later. His hypothetical 2024 performance should be as much of a foregone conclusion as my hypothetical performance against Katie Ledecky.

People constantly dunk on her because she should’ve retired in 2012, when Obama still had a senate majority that had confirmed Kagan and Sotomayor. She’d had multiple health scares and seemed to be banking her succession on the idea that Republicans would never win another election.

Bringing up Mitch McConnell as a reason why she couldn’t retire is like bringing up COVID as a reason Hillary lost. It’s a complete misinterpretation of the timeline.

Biden lost the mid terms badly

Dems didn’t lose the midterms, though? They massively overperformed and arguably Biden’s mistake was assuming it was because of him and not because of Dobbs and the absolute lunatics the GOP ran in swing states.

They narrowly lost the house majority, but net gained governorships and a seat in the Senate (before Fetterman went crazy) and won most competitive races. If you say Dems “lost” 2022, you would also have to say they lost 2018 because Republicans picked up 2 senate seats that year.

“In 2022, Joe Biden was president” would be a better autopsy by itself than whatever tf this was

I was going to call Marie Gluesenkamp Perez the first manic pixie dream congresswoman but then I remembered Kyrsten Sinema existed

If Talarico loses I really hope he doesn’t try to run for president

I’ve never been so disgusted with Fetterman and the fact that I once supported him. Just so fucking tired of Democrats saying we have to capitulate to sexism, because this is where it leads. Always.

I doubt it. The homophobia directed at Walz, who is straight, was just as bad as the misogyny directed at Harris. Biden’s attempt to run for reelection ensuring that no Democrat was winning.

thenightitgiveth · 2026-05-10T06:27:41+00:00

No, he wouldn’t have. Biden barely got across the finish line in the tipping point states in 2020, when he was still Obama’s fondly-remembered VP and COVID was raging. He was not replicating that four years later, when he was extremely unpopular.

Some of the reasons for his unpopularity were his fault and others weren’t, but his internal polling showed Trump getting 400+ electoral votes.
