According to https://news.gallup.com/poll/654560/quarterly-party-affiliation.aspx

Quote :

" In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat or an independent? Republican: 25% Democrat: 30% Independent: 45% If independent, other party, unsure or no answer: As of today, do you lean more to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party? Republican/Republican leaner: 39% Democrat/Democratic leaner: 50% "

seems this result is mostly about Independents (read moderate) in a typical midterm swing cycle being forced to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich rather than half of Americans suddenly becoming DSA members or donating subscribers of Assigned Media

nobody said anything about the DSA

" Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump." "

just thankful that some Dems have decided to speak with their chest as opposed to meekly trying to appeal to voters who would never vote for them

10/8/2026 8:13:41 PM

Hey, at least they are doing it meekly and not wholeheartedly!

10/8/2026 8:24:21 PM

Even the perceived importance of inflation is inflating!

Thanks, Obama!

10/8/2026 8:26:57 PM

Man they were forever hammering obama on that and it never came

10/8/2026 8:50:26 PM

^ oh, it came

" This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed. This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities. Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery. Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children. Abolish ICE. "

I think Susan Dell next to trump is the strangest looking human being I’ve ever seen.

That seen could be the poster for ending billionaires— it’s for their own good

10/9/2026 9:22:20 AM

Yes, Susan Dell is extremely weird-looking, but I'll hold out the possibility that there is some medical problem behind it.

10/9/2026 9:36:34 AM

I don't know for certain, but I think the "medical problem" is body dysmorphia.

10/9/2026 9:44:22 AM

Most probably.
