  1. I’m so confused by the attitude I see in some of these headlines that it’s the responsibility of Democrats to bash people’s faces in to make them understand basic facts of reality, and anybody unable to grasp their message without an aggressive campaign is just a totally smart and normal person.

    Like, the information is there, anybody who needs a politician on TV to hold their hand through explaining this basic shit is a lost cause to begin with.

    The hysterical part is these are the same people obsessed with “personal responsibility,” as if “personal responsibility” to inform yourself isn’t vastly easier than a “personal responsibility” to make 6 figures if you’re born in the projects.

  4. This election is an opportunity for Democrats to win BIG! An opportunity to tear down the machine dividing our country and destroying democracies worldwide. Project 2025 is a planned takeover of the American Government by the wealthiest most horrible people in the WORLD. Beating trump should not be the goal. Destroying the machine should be. The whole corrupt mega donor network must be destroyed. Not sure dems want any part of that, after all they get much of the same money as pugs. Why they have not gone after the god crowd (PEDAPHILIA) and right wing media is beyond me. Rove should still be in jail for terrorizing the Florida campaign workers.

  5. Once again, this argument is framed as if the burden falls solely to Democrats to both protect democratic institutions and also win elections.

    There is never a similar burden placed on Republicans.

  6. Biden should refer to “Crooked Donnie” whenever and wherever he can. Littlehands will HATE that. 8)

  7. Oh it matters to the Dems. It’s the other side that doesn’t give a shit. The bar on that side can’t go any lower.

  8. Add “rapist” to that. “Convicted rapist and felon Donald Trump.”

    Just say it over and over. Maybe call him “Rapey Don” or something.

    Why isn’t Biden saying over and over, “My opponent, the convicted rapist and felon, Donald Trump. He rapes women and then wants to throw her in jail if she wants an abortion after. Anyone here think maybe Trump is the one who should be in jail? Not the women he rapes?”

    I know the rape charge was a civil not criminal trial but who cares? Does anyone think a Republican wouldn’t do the same?

  9. it’s inconceivable to me that a case has to be made that felonies are bad

  11. I mean it’s supposed to be up to the justice system. He’s supposed to be in jail already and should be in prison next month. Probably won’t be. That’s not democrats fault.

    Running against him in the election is Biden’s job, but he should not be a free man. He can run from prison, the two have nothing to do with each other.

  12. Nope!

    It’s up to **the voters** to make it matter. America is a democracy, after all. The voters are responsible. If voters make bad choices, voters are to blame.

  13. Will I finally get that 40 acres and a mule I was promised?

  14. Trumps 34 time convicted felon, he’s got more felonies on his record than all the other presidents and vice presidents combined. I bet that’s a record he’s proud of, I wonder how his campaign and bus cult followers will spin these conviction

  15. >The conviction has the potential to hurt Trump. But emphasis on “potential.” It depends entirely on what the Democrats do with it.

    Entirely? Last I checked, a Judge will determine what – if any – effect this will have on Trump.I understand the author’s idea of belabouring the point, but it entirely misses the fact that no consequence is known yet.

    Cart before the Horse and all that.

  16. No. It’s up to you, MEDIA. What the fuck is wrong with these articles?

  17. Crazy to me the sheer amount of people who won’t be able to say they’d never vote for a felon anymore.

  19. Just donate! I’m giving $46 a month, not much, but if more people did it would help immensely !

  20. Reality shouldn’t be dictated by propaganda. But here we are.

  22. it shouldn’t these cases shouldn’t crawl at the rate they are allowed to, he should be sentenced and sentenced immediately to fucking jail time. What other punishment should there be for fucking 34 felonies?? Don’t get me wrong, I vote against this man if I had to crawl to the voting booth but fuck why is it no matter what this man fucking does, it’s still not enough to prevent him from holding the fucking highest office in the land.

  23. The focus needs to stay on the FACT that he is now a CONVICTED FELON. Unfit for office is too opinionated. Keep it about the facts. He will be defeated with his own words and by his own actions. But, only if Dems don’t let anyone forget to keep the focus on his actions
