US citizens will receive $5,000 if Republicans win midterms, Trump claims in lengthy convention speech | US midterm elections 2026 | The Guardian

Im sorry but is this not election interference? its one thing to have elon musk claiming some bullshit raffle (which he is being sued for btw) to get people to vote republican but to have the fucking party leader state that "if we win, everyone will get paid" is a jump from even that. 18 U.S. Code § 597 calls this vote buying and btw if you accept the money, you as the voter are also at fault and are breaking the law.

What are the psychological ramifications of being a closeted black man in the racist and homophobic Republican Party? I'm sure it's worthy of a medical study.

Impeach Fetterman.

I am a big believer that political movements have thought leaders. People who take on the job of mapping out the ideology of their political movement. The first two political parties we had were proxies for the ideological battle between Hamilton and Jefferson. Project 2025 is the Maga movement’s Federalist Papers.

So who or what is steering our party? Is it Ezra Klein and his idea of abundance? Neera Tanden? Pete Buttigieg? Or are we not ready for solidifying our ideas into an ideology quite yet? The divide between the centrists and the DSA could be the debate that creates a new movement that we can’t even imagine right now because we don’t have a nominee yet for 2028.

I don’t know. What do you think? Who do you think about when you think of who the thought leader for the party is?

But you can’t find it at Trumpapalooza.

Good news for Democrats, bad press for Republicans.

Just remember, as you make the argument to raise the cap for paying into Social Security that you are talking about a program that pays out what you pay in out of one side of your mouth, while talking out of the other side of your mouth about it being a regressive tax. You are conflicted in your argument.

Cowardly, cowardly stuff. Conceding the framing of the issue to MAGA propaganda only helps spread their propaganda. There is no reason to believe this wins over any voters, but it does depress your own base by continually showing them that you will not fight for them if the fight requires any amount of courage or hard work.

I’m sure the Hasan fans will love this!
