Keep up the pressure.

I can't and will not link to NYT so I will post the article.


By Maureen Dowd
Opinion Columnist, reporting from Washington
Some Democrats are finally waking up and realizing that woke is broke.
Donald Trump won a majority of white women and remarkable numbers of Black and Latino voters and young men.
Democratic insiders thought people would vote for Kamala Harris, even if they didn’t like her, to get rid of Trump. But more people ended up voting for Trump, even though many didn’t like him, because they liked the Democratic Party less.
I have often talked about how my dad stayed up all night on the night Harry Truman was elected because he was so excited. And my brother stayed up all night the first time Trump was elected because he was so excited. And I felt that Democrats would never recover that kind of excitement until they could figure out why they had turned off so many working-class voters over the decades, and why they had developed such disdain toward their once loyal base.
Democratic candidates have often been avatars of elitism — Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and second-term Barack Obama. The party embraced a worldview of hyper-political correctness, condescension and cancellation, and it supported diversity statements for job applicants and faculty lounge terminology like “Latinx,” and “BIPOC” (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).

This alienated half the country, or more. And the chaos and antisemitism at many college campuses certainly didn’t help.
“When the woke police come at you,” Rahm Emanuel told me, “you don’t even get your Miranda rights read to you.”

There were a lot of Democrats “barking,” people who “don’t represent anybody,” he said, and “the leadership of the party was intimidated.”
Donald Trump played to the irritation of many Americans disgusted at being regarded as insensitive for talking the way they’d always talked. At rallies, he referred to women as “beautiful” and then pretended to admonish himself, saying he’d get in trouble for using that word. He’d also call women “darling” and joke that he had to be careful because his political career could be at risk.
One thing that makes Democrats great is that they unabashedly support groups that have suffered from inequality. But they have to begin avoiding extreme policies that alienate many Americans who would otherwise be drawn to the party.

Democrats learned the hard way in this election that mothers care both about abortion rights and having their daughters compete fairly and safely on the playing field.
A revealing chart that ran in The Financial Times showed that white progressives hold views far to the left of the minorities they champion. White progressives think at higher rates than Hispanic and Black Americans that “racism is built into our society.” Many more Black and Hispanic Americans surveyed, compared with white progressives, responded that “America is the greatest country in the world.”
Gobsmacked Democrats have reacted to the wipeout in different ways. Some think Kamala did not court the left enough, touting trans rights and repudiating Israel.
Other Democrats feel the opposite, calling on the party to reimagine itself.
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a vulnerable Democrat in a red congressional district in Washington, narrowly held her seat. The 36-year-old mother of a toddler and owner of an auto shop told The Times’s Annie Karni that Democratic condescension has to go. “There’s not one weird trick that’s going to fix the Democratic Party,” she said. “It is going to take parents of young kids, people in rural communities, people in the trades running for office and being taken seriously.”
Representative Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, said the party needs rebranding. “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone,” he said. “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”

On CNN, the Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky said that Democrats did not know how to talk to normal Americans.
Addressing Latinos as “Latinx” to be politically correct “makes them think that we don’t even live on the same planet as they do,” she said. “When we are too afraid to say that ‘Hey, college kids, if you’re trashing a campus of Columbia University because you aren’t happy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning, that that is unacceptable.’ But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we don’t know what to say.”
Kamala, a Democratic lawmaker told me, made the “colossal mistake” of running a billion-dollar campaign with celebrities like Beyoncé when many of the struggling working-class voters she wanted couldn’t even afford a ticket to a Beyoncé concert, much less a down payment on a home.
“I don’t think the average person said, ‘Kamala Harris gets what I’m going through,’” this Democrat said.
Kamala, who sprinted to the left in her 2020 Democratic primary campaign, tried to move toward the center for this election, making sure to say she’d shoot an intruder with her Glock. But it sounded tinny.

The Trump campaign’s most successful ad showed Kamala favoring tax-funded gender surgery for prisoners. Bill Clinton warned in vain that she should rebut it.
James Carville gave Kamala credit for not leaning into her gender and ethnicity. But he said the party had become enamored of “identitarianism” — a word he uses because he won’t say “woke” — radiating the repellent idea that “identity is more important than humanity.”
“We could never wash off the stench of it,” he said, calling “defund the police” “the three stupidest words in the English language.”
“It’s like when you get smoke on your clothes and you have to wash them again and again. Now people are running away from it like the devil runs away from holy water.”

“When the woke police come at you,” Rahm Emanuel told me, “you don’t even get your Miranda rights read to you.”

I truly despise the Emanuel's, but he nails it here

Pennsylvania and Nevada don't require voter ID.

NV passed a resolution this year to require ID. So at least that should help in the future. I'm not sure what that means for mail in voting, but hopefully it ends that option. It passed with a 73% approval.

@madman71, here's the full text of the question that passed.

NV Question 7 - Require ID to vote?​

This measure would require voters in Nevada to present a valid form of ID to be able to vote in-person or provide information like the last four digits of a driver’s license or Social Security number to verify their identity and vote by mail. If it passes, the measure will be on the ballot again in 2026 A “YES” vote supports these changes to require ID or identifying information to vote. A “NO” vote opposes these changes to require ID or identifying information to vote.

"There was no conversation between Putin and Trump; this is false information," Peskov said.

The Russian president's press secretary denied statements from the Western press about a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and American President-elect Donald Trump last Thursday.

He emphasized that the newspaper The Washington Post published false information.

This may be bad news for a lot of charter schools. Don’t they receive federal grants?

I’m all for it, just curious

Wait til income taxes go down, or get eliminated all together!

We'll have so much income have so much income we'll be able to fund private education like they did back in the 1950's!

I'd say, unless she won the primary, she has no standing....

Ok. Never mind, fuck that guy and fuck Rumsfeld

I don’t know much about that.

On another note I want all healthcare to be non-profit.

This for profit care has done nothing but hurt the American people.

Sent an email to Hawley to bully him telling him he’d better vote Maga for majority leader. Also tried to all his office. Was on hold for a long time. Couldn’t leave a message either because his mailbox is full. Sounds like my fellow Missourians are lighting him up.

Emailed Moran this morning telling him he's already got 1 strike against him in verifying the 2020 election. Don't screw this up for the American people.

Donations to Kamala Harris' presidential campaign are now being partially redirected towards a vote recount effort.

When users go to donate to her campaign on ActBlue, the nonprofit fundraising platform, the fine-print suggests that the vice president's campaign might be launching a recount effort.

There is little other information about what the recount account is and what it plans to do. Donald Trump won the election with 312 Electoral College votes, including all seven battleground states.

The certificates of ascertainment must be submitted by the second Wednesday in December for the electors to meet on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December (which for 2024 would be December 17, 2024).

Given these deadlines, any grievance or legal challenge would need to be filed in a timely manner to ensure it could be adjudicated before the Electoral College convenes.

Got into the Basilica but the Dome was locked.

4B Movement​

4B (or "Four Nos") is a radical feminist movement that emerged in South Korea during the mid-to-late 2010s on Twitter and on the website Womad. The name refers to its defining four tenets which all start with the Korean-language term bi (비, 非), roughly meaning "no". Its proponents do not date, get married, have sex, or have children with men.

She's a based satirist, and a brilliant one at that. One of my favorite videos was her talking about taking her kid to the vet since they identified as a cat.
