Talarico’s comments along with other statements on transgender rights and immigration were highlighted in Paxton’s first general election ad, which ends with the tagline “Radical Talarico: too low-T for Texas.” “Low-T” is a reference to levels of testosterone that is used to insult men for a lack of masculinity.

The far-right’s obsession with masculinity contributes to many of its problems.

Juste un autre mensonge de Trump.

A cheap PR campaign that requires further customer spending and entrenches their prior price increases.

The sad thing is that many right-wing voters genuinely believe every word Trump says, and that anything he says that doesn’t come to pass is due to someone else interfering in his otherwise ‘sound’ plans.

This is why the Democrats ideally need to have 52 seats to hold the Senate.

Good riddance.

Here’s an article discussing it.

If voters can’t understand materials written at a 12th grade reading level, the education system should be improved to fix the problem rather than dumbing down society to account for it.

And even if they do reach 51, Fetterman would become a much more valuable asset to the Republicans.

While small details like that might not be important to the average American, I think that most Americans having little to no personal exposure to anything outside the U.S. is in part responsible for many of the bad electoral outcomes that the country has had.

Someone from Utah taking a roadtrip to Idaho isn’t as culturally enriching as someone from Czechia visiting Portugal. While Europe’s cultural diversity and geography make such contact easier, it’s a shame that many Americans base their worldview around nationalism.

Sadly even that’s probably more than the average American would know; using ‘England’ as a shorthand for the U.K. as a whole is far more common than it should be.

I would hope that most people wouldn’t need to do a search to know where Poland is, but I suppose some schools put more effort into having people needlessly memorize state capitals than the placement of countries.

While any and all efforts by right-wing election deniers to subvert election legitimacy are disgusting, I do think that differential privacy makes census data less useful (particularly for less populated areas) by making comparisons to historical data and future data less accurate.

Yet another person on the far-right demonstrating violent tendencies.

Mail voting makes voting easier for people with disabilities and avoids any waiting time at polling places. Their suppression is part of a larger pattern of voter suppression generally conducted by Republican-led states.

Preventing Republicans from enacting yet another gerrymander is not a ‘win’, it’s just reducing the disadvantage that all the other gerrymanders already add up to.

They only want free markets when it benefits them.

Derailing elections is the point.

What many don’t understand is that universal healthcare would decrease the overall amount spent on healthcare by giving one buyer (the government) enormous leverage over multiple sellers, enabling it to negotiate on price in the same manner that other single-payer healthcare systems do.

Those who approve of Trump “fighting crime in America’s cities” probably mostly aren’t the actual ones actually living in America’s cities.
