Nobody remembers that because it is not remotely true. He raised taxes on the rich, legalized gays in the military, tried to implement universal healthcare, etc.

Democratic victories are necessary for progress, but it’s only the threat of immanent fascism that has historically driven Democrats to make improvements.

Not true. It is firm control of congress and the presidency. That is what created the New Deal and the Civil Rights era.

If you like traitors you must like felons and rapists too. Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump is the whole package for you then.

The Electoral College has actually been doing the exact opposite of what the founders created it for. It was created so that presumably the electors would be wiser than the voters and nullify a bad choice like Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. Instead it literally allowed him to be elected without a majority of votes.

started StarTrek.website.

I don't use that because you are (or someone is) modding it wrong. You don't allow people to talk about which parts of Star Trek they don't like and others might want to avoid. Fuck that. All parts of Star Trek are not equally good.

They already tried Jan 6 !

Nope. Those bootlickers were on the side of the corporate/billionaire enshitifiers, trying to make the enshitification MUCH worse.

Genuine question: what is the real alternative to WP?

What's wrong with html/css/js? It can do anything you want it to do.

I would have thought this would be the most highly upvoted, because it focuses on what actually matters. Policy. Weird that the most important submission is the least upvoted.

Jake Tapper is the worst. Can't stand the guy.

His nephew is still in politics and he thinks speaking out will hurt his nephew's political career.

While it’s not inconceivable that you could see an offshoot try to replace the Republicans, I doubt it would happen.

It really depends heavily on timing. If Trumpism fades almost immediately after the election, the GOP can probably survive. If not, there is a good chance of it being replaced. All that would need to happen would be 2 critical steps. (1) A few big conservative big names announce the formation of a traditional conservative party that rejects Trumpism. (2) Over the next couple of years a wave of incumbant GOP senators and congressmen announce they are moving to the new party to break free of MAGA. That new party might still caucus with the GOP but would have a huge amount of leverage over it.
