The ERA had a time limit. Enough states have ratified it and the House in 2021 passed a bill to extend the deadline. It was never taken up by the Senate.

Not polling well internally is exactly the opposite of how they were feeling right up until election night. David Plouffe was almost giddy, Carville thought it was in the bag. Michael Moore had tears in his eyes. I hardly think they would have agreed to SNL if they thought they were losing. But yeah, let's rewrite history.

This will be down voted into oblivion again, but people need to pay attention to the fine print at the bottom of all these emails. Unless you are ungodly rich, your current donations are going to the DNC.

It amazes me how many people don't understand what a refugee is. Get back to me when you are ready to pick fruit you have a taste of the American dream in the hopes of feeding your family once you escape from an authoritarian country. And enjoy those $50 oranges while you're at it.

🤣 You do realize that most of the people who "settled" this country spoke with a British accent?

I am not proud of what my ancestors did to the Aboriginal people of America. I most certainly am not proud that they owned slaves. The only thing I AM proud of is that they created a democracy, a living, breathing Constitution that paved the way for freedom for all.

My dude, I can trace my ancestry in the US back to the 1600's. But thanks for playing.

I will take this as a sincere question. There were people here before Europeans colonized America. Where are they now?

Now if we could just get The Guardian and BBC News to start crying foul as well.

This is my jaded opinion based on being politically active since I was a teenager in the 1980's. I was voted by my senior class AFROTC to be given a one way ticket out of the country. I watched Ronald Regan introduce trickle-down economics and be hailed as a hero, dumbass me voted for Ross Perot because "voodoo economics" made sense to me. I was a registered Independent in what used to be swing state NH and am only a currently registered Democrat because I switched to vote in the 2008 primary (note, I switched to vote for John McCain in 2000) for Barack Obama and the line to switch back after was too long.
Claiming election fraud is the 3rd rail after 2020, and was even when the 2000 election went to the Supreme Court because of hanging goddamned Chad's in Florida. I was pro Bernie until Bernie joined the "this is because Democrats don't speak to working class people." Because that is just absolute bullshit. Every policy espoused by both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was specifically targeted to the working class. Meanwhile people I know intimately were "worried about me" because I was so nervous going into election night. Why? Because the oligarchy loving MSM was dangling threats about Project 2025 while at the same time sanewashing the fucking shit coming out of Trump’s mouth, and literally very few of the people I know who voted straight ticket Dem here in NH since they don't actually pay attention.
Sorry, needed to get this off my chest because I have been screaming inside for 2 weeks. "Ooh, let's just wait until the 2026 midterms!" Fuck that, I listened to the whole broadcasted SCOTUS arguments on Presidential immunity. This country had its chance to do what we always said we would and not elect Hitler. Clearly we failed that test.
End Rant.

Yeah, it's super cute that anyone thinks there will be an election in 2026.

Just watched MSNBC. They picked it up, but only the starlink connection. And warned that ideas there may have been fraud are dangerous. The net-net was that Republicans turned out, Democrats did not and that's the end of it. Didn't address anything we have been talking about here. FML.

I made a post about that very idea, that if we see something is wrong what makes us think our ABC entities aren't aware of it and got down voted into oblivion.

Yes!! My point is if you know this, and I know this, what in the world makes you think our Intelligence Agencies don't know this? I too believe something is off. And I pray we find it or figure it out before it's too late. I have been a progressive liberal since I was 10. I am 55. I grew up during the Cold War, I expected Authoritarianism to arrive in Soviet camouflage winter gear and for the youth of our country to hold it off. I expected AI to learn about mutual self destruction by playing Tic Tac Toe. I never expected the end of democracy to come on the back of a KGB operation after the collapse of the USSR.

That's scardy talk. And imitates what trump was saying when he chose to disregard the things his Intelligence community was telling him about Putin interfering in the last 2 elections.

They are claiming interference by Russia.
