the Lincoln project telling them to go along with trump should be a huge flashing warning sign to them not to....so of course they'll do the stupidest thing they could possible do, and go along with trump and not vote...:p...trump is dangerous, and the fuck-nut morons that follow him are too, but they're too busy stabbing themselves in their own asses to present a real threat...there's no fucking way Mitch McConman is going to allow any more election bullshit...in a perfect world, trump would be incensed enough to try another insurrection, his fucking moron followers would all be either shot, or arrested and then hung for sedition, while he himself would be put on show in an orange jumpsuit, with no combover, and asked the same questions over and over and over and....until he breaks and sobs like the fat cheeto he is in public, begs for forgiveness, and gets none on his way to the gallows
Most of trump’s base didn’t vote before the chosen one came on the scene. I’m sure they’ll be thrilled if they don’t have to drag their lard filled asses to the polling stations again.

you'd be surprised how many INSURRECTIONISTS from 1/6, didn't even vote in the 2020.

i think it's pure genius he issued a statement that his base won't show so when he loses in 2024, it's already taken care of. meanwhile, he no longer possesses a base, he did a poll. his rallies have only the paid actors now like Blacks 4 Trump etc. you can tell he's running out of money because the signs they hold are like this.

Sen. Whitehouse blasts Alito speech: 'You have fouled your nest, not us'
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) on Thursday pushed back forcefully against a speech by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito during which he depicted the high court as undeserving of recent scorn.

Whitehouse, a veteran member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and fierce critic of what he sees as the outsized influence of GOP donors in U.S. courts, said public disapproval was warranted. He also suggested Alito may be “touchy” because “his fingerprints are all over this pattern of Republican judicial activism.”

“Understand that you have fouled your nest, not us,” Whitehouse wrote in a piece published by Salon. “The Supreme Court must now at least match every other political institution with a renaissance of transparency. Democracy demands it. And the Court That Dark Money Built has squandered the benefit of the doubt.”

The senator’s fiery op-ed follows remarks Alito delivered last month at Notre Dame Law School in which the staunchly conservative justice bristled over recent criticism directed at the court.

The court’s approval rating saw a steep drop-off recently after the 6-3 conservative majority issued several controversial, high-impact rulings under its fast-track procedure, sometimes referred to as its “shadow docket.” Those included rulings that blocked federal eviction protections amid the coronavirus pandemic and permitted Texas’s divisive six-week abortion ban to take effect.

During his speech, Alito took particular exception to what he characterized as media distortions that feed into a false portrayal of the court as a “dangerous cabal.”

But Whitehouse said the court’s deteriorating standing among the public has been largely self-inflicted. He ticked off a number of court rulings that he said demonstrates a pattern in which the court’s decisionmaking fits neatly with the interests of well-heeled Republican donors.

“The problem for Justice Alito's sense of grievance is that the evidence supports our concerns,” Whitehouse wrote. “Alito has participated in a pattern of decisions — like the court's recent 'shadow docket' ruling suspending abortion rights in our second-biggest state — that deliver wins for big Republican donors.

“Americans' perception that the court lacks independence, and the court's related drop in approval, doesn't flow from some left-wing conspiracy,” he continued. “It's a recognition that the evidence shows a pattern whenever certain interests come before the court.”

That’s surprisingly high. I wonder what percentage of those were young people not able to vote in 2016.
i would assume not any, they surely took that into account...and that actually sounds low to me, most of the people i talk to under 35 eventually admit that they didn't vote, some have never voted, but that sure doesn't stop them from having opinions, or me from telling them to get fucked, if you don't play, you got no say

That’s crazy.

I know my sons vote and my 13 year old daughter will be voting. Hell, she’ll probably be running for office. She has lots of opinions and plenty of agency and loves to argue.

she makes me proud.

Got to remember that half of the attack on our democracy is to use left-trolls to nudge people that would never vote for Trump to 'but Hillary' themselves into not voting (a lot of it using Bernie Sanders/Jill Stein).

Anti-Trump Republicans endorsing vulnerable Democrats to prevent GOP takeover
The Renew America Movement (RAM) announced it is backing a slew of lawmakers running for reelection. The group was founded by a group of moderates within the GOP after the Jan. 6 insurrection, which was fueled by Trump’s lies about the election being stolen in November.

“There is an urgent effort by Republicans and former Republicans to stem the tide of anti-democratic and lie-based Republican leaders in congress before it’s too late,” RAM said in an announcement.

“Today, Renew America announced its Renewer Watchlist. The Renewer Watchlist is comprised of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who are working toward real electoral victories.”

Among the endorsees are the handful of Republicans who have criticized Trump, including Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), who is the former president’s public enemy No. 1 over her repeated criticism of him over the insurrection, and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), who may not have a seat to run for after redistricting in Illinois.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who voted to convict Trump in his impeachment hearing earlier this year, is also being endorsed.

Also included in the list are 11 Democratic members of the House and Senate, most of whom are running in tight elections. Among them is Sen. Mark Kelly, who is running for a full term next year in a marquee Senate race in Arizona, as well as "front-line" House members such as Reps. Abigail Spanberger (Va.) and Jared Golden (Maine).

"With the mounting threats to our democracy and Constitution, we need people who work proactively to lead their party and the country away from the political extremes," Joel Searby, RAM's national political director, told Reuters, which was the first to report on the endorsements.

All of the group’s endorsees are likely to face headwinds as they fight for reelection, be it from primary or general election challengers with Trump’s backing.
