      Right now! What are YOU waiting for?

      Oh yeah, your life isn’t actually that bad. At least not bad enough to throw it away to become some kind of martyr that will be forgotten after 3 months (how long has it been since that one guy shot a CEO? 2 months and almost completely out of the news cycle?)

      The sad (SAD) truth is that people on the internet LOVE to convince themselves that they are oppressed. The “resistance” they claim they are putting up (which is really just posting the lamest takes on social media) gets their cortisol 'a-flowin!

      In reality, they would NEVER give up their lifestyle to make any of the changes they claim they want to see. That is, unless they can whip up enough people to fill in the front line first, then they can continue their comfortable online “resistance” without any risk.

      Like I said: you aren’t oppressed.

        Are you a propaganda agent of the state sent to make sure no one ever gets the idea the government is undefeatable? If you aren’t, well, how sad.

          There’s the lame take I was talking about! Way to prove the point!

          I want to see some change. REAL change! There is a uni-party that DOES NOT want that kind of change, and the majority of internet people vote for them time and time again.

          Stop fooling yourself.

    Accused of sexual assault

    Isn’t that a prerequisite for a position in the Trump autocracy?

    I wonder if the dems realize that these accusations hurt the dems more than they hurt the accused? They look like buffoons at this point.

        It comes off like they’re just trying to defame them, like the Dems are lying and persecuting their political opponents, like the Nazis did.

          Dude paid $50,000 to a woman to drop the rape case against him, and you think it wasnt real? Innocent people don’t pay people off. Companies, maybe

          Stating bad things someone has truly, actually, provably done is not defamation. Is everyone immune from criticism because stupid people also use criticism?

            “truly actually probably done”

            Do you even hear yourself? It’s an accusation, nothing more.

              It’s not an accusation if there is proof… I think you’re mistaken by the MAGA party. You know the party that said COVID wasn’t real but it turned out to be very real. They said climate change isn’t real but the whole nation experiences absurd weather conditions all year. They said Jan 6 was a day of peace but people got hurt and killed. Some feared for their life.

              Please sit down. You don’t know what a lie and a truth are. You probably can’t tell the difference between a fact and an opinion either.

      Big shock that you’re standing up for a drunken blowhard just because he’s a fascist.

      Never would have expected that from you.

      Dems look like baffoons because:

      A woman accused Hegseth of raping her at a 2017 conference in Monterey, California, according to a police report unearthed by the Washington Post. No charges were filed, but Hegseth later paid the woman $50,000, according to written answers to questions Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) posed to the nominee.

      In an affidavit submitted to the Senate on Tuesday, Hegseth’s former sister-in-law said that Hegseth was “abusive” towards his ex-wife, who had an escape plan involving texting a safe word to friends and family and, on at least one occasion, hid in her closet out of fear.

      How does that work in your head?

      Republicans confirmed this guy? I am confused why you think this reflects on the Democrats?

      The problem is you’re framing the accusations as if they’re just accusations without proof when they’re not. Regardless of that, in a plainly misogynistic move, you’re also assuming the women aren’t being truthful.

      It only makes the Dems “hurt more” if you’re viewing it through that prism. In reality, where this shit is fucked up and is happening, the GOP is confirming a terrible person. Confirmations used to be largely bipartisan and mostly a walk through, now one party just ignores the other because the moral compass is so far apart compromise is impossible. You can’t compromise with amoral fascist lovers. So yeah of course none of the Dems voted for him.
