    Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they “need to be lynched” for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won’t mourn him.

    edit for clarity

    I don’t understand why any Dem would even bother voting on this. Just abstain or don’t show up for the vote. What could they possibly gain from a yes vote?

    Remember kids, the midterms are only a year away. If your Democrat is on this list, you need to find a new one!

    We will once again be faced with (a) More Trump or (b) ???

    Third-partiers, clock is running out!

      Third parties are irrelevant. They have failed continuously for over a hundred years. How is someone going to build an effective 50 state organization, find and vet candidates that won’t betray us in office, raise awareness with absolutely no old media coverage and social media that buries them, then win an election in 14 months? There are some solid progressives running in Democratic primaries, and they are the ones that need resources.

    The left has been remembering Charlie Kirk for the past week and a half - the right hasn’t seemed to enjoy it very much.

      Charlie Kirk is the first person in my entire life (am over 50) who has openly stated he judges people by the color of their skin and wasn’t condemned for it. I certainly never expected to see America regress that far back into the past.

    More like national day of celebrating his death, hopefully.

    Start organizing protests and building effigies to burn.

    A whole day to remember the Epstein files? Seems like overkill when they could just release them.

    October 14 as “release the Epstein Files day” seems like an odd alternative to simply releasing them.

    This is going to backfire on the GOP in spectacular fashion.

    The DNC… well that depends on if Americans keep voting them back in.

    Please Americans, run for office or support someone new to politics running for office!!

      If they control TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and every TV channel can have their license revoked for saying anything that can be misconstrued as against Trump… I fear it won’t matter much who runs. Their will be ads everywhere lying about them and guiding the public into not showing up to the polls to elect someone he doesn’t like, and if all else fails he’ll just have the electors faked and pardon the people he asks to fake them before leaving office this time.

      Then the next president he chose just threatens the states who try to place state charges against those people
