    everyone will love the guy that blew like a quarter of a billion dollars to lose to Lindsay Graham by double digits

    this is a winning strategy by a smart and serious political party

      The key was they got a quarter of a billion dollars. They don’t care to win, they just care to keep getting that coin.

    Things may have been somewhat different, had the loyalty that we saw Republicans have for Donald Trump, when Trump got convicted 34 times, and you didn’t hear a peep from the Republican Party … I would love to see a little more of that from Democrats.

    “Sit down and shut up and vote for the person we told you to”

    Jesus fucking Christ no wonder the Democrats lost.

          I guess a charitable view of the new deal and Keynesianism is that it’s a semblance of left

          I have the harsher view that it was a further entrenchment of reaction to reconstruction but shrug-outta-hecks

      They are going to pull out any and all stops to prevent that from happening.

      On the positive side, now there’s a chance I get to see Cuomo lose again, which will be nice.

    The first episodes of “At Our Table” put Harrison next to 2024 vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, South Carolina kingmaker (and Harrison mentor) Rep. James Clyburn — and Hunter Biden, the prodigal former First Son who has not spoken out since his father ended his last presidential bid.

    Very cool. I can’t wait to hear from a loser who sent the national guard in to quash BLM, a corrupt investment banker who worked for Oprah, the ghoul who gave us Biden, and Biden’s corrupt failson who has never done anything with his life except use his father’s corpse as a meat puppet. This will inspire the youth and bring young men to the side of the democrats.

    James Clyburn’s little lapdog. His entire career is based on sucking off Big Jim.

    If you think about it, he truly is the voice of the Democratic Party.

      He really is. Ran the most expensive Senate campaign ever (at the time), got absolutely bodied by an elderly neocon who is unpopular even among his base. But the consultants and advertisers made money, and that’s what really matters, isn’t it?

        IIRC he lost to Lindsay Graham (can’t be arsed spelling his name) by something like 8 pcts. despite the entire republican party hating him, and the entire democratic party giving Harrison something like 90 million dollars to spend on a state with less than 3 million voters.

    Democrats create their own AI echo chamber called Drock

    Analyze Joe Rogan for when he pulls up facts on interviews. And cross refrence this lost of approved Democrats.

    Hey Jamie. Hey Jamie. Hey Jamie. Hey Jamie.
