  • It's a plurality and not a majority, pretty far from a mandate. It's a legal win.

  • They did have a primary.

    And Hillary won her primary popular vote against Bernie and you're still pissed about it so seems like the method isn't the problem for you, it's that they ("they" being Democrats according to the party rules) don't pick whoever you like.

  • 1.7% in 2024.1.9% in 2020.5.7% in 2016.1.7% in 2012.1.4% in 2008.

    2024 is not the outlier. It's mostly about how well the other major party candidate does.

  • It is not actually legal to do this. A state can't interfere with the functioning of the federal executive branch. Most constitutional scholars would say the sentence just gets suspended until the end of his term.

  • Her "suspension" while keeping all the infrastructure was obviously just to avoid election backlash for House Democrats. It's coming back. Was always the plan.

  • Everything's a goddamn coup with these people.

    Scheduling legislative leadership elections at an allowed time is a coup against a guy who is currently not in office?

    K.

  • Sorry who is saying this? The judge making the ruling?

  • "Voters who voted for the winner got what they wanted" uh-huh....

  • Weird you didn't post this before the election results came in, since it was so obvious.

  • I have deep sources telling me he got more votes.

  • This is one of the more normal things he has said recently. Several quotes talking about literal demons coming after him. He might need whatever therapy program Glenn Beck joined.

  • But monkeys never ask questions.

    Science has yet to determine if monkeys would be able to type "wherefore art thou Romeo?"

  • Not another one knight stand!

  • Got more toots than Mastodon.

  • If AOC's too Capitalist for ya I got bad news about 95% of America.

  • AOC had a similar response on Pod Save America.

    You win political influence by being a crucial part of a win. You lose political influence if your political opponents are in office. The best chance to have your voice heard on Israel is being a crucial part of a Harris win.

    That is the calculation.

  • I mean I'll do you one better, Moodys did inflation research in 2022 and found that laws signed by Biden contributed 0.1% of the then 8.5% inflation. Basically nothing, it was all Covid supply chains and a Russian oil shock.

    But, that's still the explanation for why incumbents around the world are unpopular right now.
