Tom Daley is adorable. That’s what I’m taking from this. The rest wears me out because Ohio is waaay over there and not adorable.

Something I was just thinking about, if Drumpf's behavior really caught on in the GOP, the party wouldn't even be able to hold a primary ever again. Every candidate who lost would accuse the winner of "fraud" and charge the party with plotting against them.

“Turner … had compared the choice between Trump and Biden to eating a full bowl or half bowl of human excrement.”

Yeah, that’s absolutely not who we need representing us in Congress at all.

Meh, I will be more impressed if Carey wins and even thats not certain since there's plenty of districts that an bucket of fucking Lawn clippings could win if they had an R in front of their name.

Yeah, that's harsh. And completely unnecessary.

The crisis of America's political class; our inability to take obvious measures to address our growing problems aren't going anyway. The failure of our social, political and economic systems; thrown into sharp relief by COVID anfd the murder of George Floyd; also aren't going anywhere.

That President Biden adopted so much of Sen. Sanders' platform should tell everyone in the Democratic Party, "progressive" and right-center, how this will eventually shake out.

Activists gonna Active, but there's no sense in chasing away support for change while the status quo is actively destroying itself in full view. The establishment "change from the inside, without disturbing the power structure" died with George Floyd. Those who keep clinging to it just haven't worked out the flow of corporate money quite yet, is all.

The crises will continue and worsen until different action is taken, so it's not an emergency worthy of literal shit-talk.

I'm from Ohio. "District south of Columbus" should be read as "the worst suburbs of Appalachia".
