Disgusting. CISA is absolutely critical to our national security. So much so that the first explanation of downsizing it has to be suspected intentional sabotage and treason. These experts aren’t coming back

Jackboots back in fashion

100%. Also a hatchet man. He’s brought in, wrecks shit on purpose, gets “kicked out”, profits immensely. Now admin can roll things back 5-10% to placate the plebes and blame Musk who everyone already hates for their life being worse. That said, a lot of people would nonperformatively tell him to go fuck himself. Just don’t mistake it as anyone being on your side

Hatchet men abound

This is what we get for being bad at math (and critical thinking)

Doesn’t cost him anything so why not. Plus gives message to his mob that they have free rein

Thanks, me too! But it’s been awhile since I’ve had a Representative in the House that I was happy with. House districts are too big for their stated purpose OR5 goes from Portland suburbs to Bend

Dems and Reps are both corporatists (though you could argue Reps are moving towards some neo-feudalism) neither is willing to severely curtail the big money interests. I think you’re right that people are genuinely hurting and anxious. People are also probably sexist and racist. Harris had a hell of a lot of disadvantages to overcome in the president’s race and she didn’t.

Mostly though, reality doesn’t matter anymore for probably a supermajority because people are so checked out. Just vibes - and the vibes are bad

Hey, that’s my district. Nice to make the news!

100% I think a lot of people don’t realize that prisons are modern slavery. Need more slave labor? Send protesters to the gulag.

“Change” and he’s further back in their memories. People are genuinely struggling - both in where they are and where they’re headed; he promises he can change that direction. He won’t, but people are desperate and Kamala ran as a status quo candidate

It’s more than just one thing, of course. Probably some racism and sexism too

72 so far, Harris with 67. Pretty low turnout given the stakes

None, I’m afraid. 5% of Republicans voted for Biden in 2020. 5% voted for Harris in 2024. A centrist waste

I’m revising my estimation of the electorate a lot tonight

If this shift is both A)right and B) representative across states, Harris is looking at over 400 electoral votes on Tuesday. I feel crazy just typing that

The good news is that Biden is president this time, not trump. Plus the immunity for protecting democracy by ruthlessly enforcing election integrity

I’m a big fan of Khan’s efforts, but I don’t know that I’m ready to judge Harris for not giving her a full-throated defense. Her campaign is extraordinarily disciplined and focused in their topics and messaging, and digressing to FTC appointments could easily not be advantageous. I hope Harris wins and Khan is even more empowered for the sake of our country, but the crap of FPTP reality is that Harris simply Has to win

I’m absolutely stressed. I already voted, which didn’t help at all. I might need to unplug and dissociate for a few weeks just to get over 5 hours of sleep in a go

Juggalos are surprisingly decent, given their image. I may not be down with the clown, myself, but they’re alright

NY Dem leadership really crapped the bed in 2022, losing seats they shouldntve. I suppose this election will show if they got their act together
