self-anointed opinions.

I wonder how many of those folks refused to vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016 or 2024?

The fact is THIS, anyone who refused to vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016 or 2024 by either NOT VOTING, or voting third party, was a vote for trump.

Everyone knew what the stakes were, and THAT INCLUDED THE SUPREME COURT.

I am so tired of these sorry excuses, including those who were so vocal and proud in 2016 about refusing to vote for the Democratic candidate, and because of that we lost every swing state along with the supreme court, yet even today those folks still have no regrets for their actions.

So what we don't need right now is another divisive editorial saying my way or the highway, especially NOW.

It is too bad that the editorial writer didn't bother to even listen to what VP Harris was saying.

I guess the Rolling Stone found their replacement for anti-Democratic misogynistic Matt Taibbi.
