It follows Republican outrage over Mamdani offering the same heatwave advice as everyone else.
The US Department of Energy reportedly deleted about 6,000 pages related to energy conservation as a historic heatwave tears across the country.
The deletion was suspiciously timed, following Republican outrage over Mayor Zohran Mamdani asking New Yorkers to help reduce strain on the grid by setting their AC to 78 degrees. Republicans like Ted Cruz (who has famously fled severe weather in his home state), Nikki Haley, and Representative Nancy Mace (South Carolina) quickly pounced, framing the request as socialism and an act of war on women in menopause (the Republican Party is notoriously friendly to women’s health).
Of course, this is pretty standard advice during a heatwave. It was the official stance of the Department of Energy that Americans should set their thermostats between 75 and 78 degrees, and Republican governors in deep red states like Texas have issued the same advice in the past — including current governor Greg Abbott.
Whats important is that we kept the Democrats from taking the presidency. Right kids?!
Vote blue no matter who! Fix everything!
Literally incapable of not strawmanning
Well, how the fuck else do you portray those people?
How’s winning over those voters your party lost last election going?
Look around! Clearly everyone made the right decision!
And i’ll tell ya this for nothin’ - they’ll do it again! Yeah! And get all this glorious fascism for free. Enjoy!
Seems like democrats should run a candidate that’s worthwhile and isn’t a female Reagan.
Seems like, if democrats didn’t want this, they shouldn’t have run a Republican campaign.
Does your mommy still shake your dick for you? You shouldn’t need to be pandered to - just vote for the better choice. If you didn’t, you’re responsible for the worse outcome that we’re all stuck with now.
I did. It sucks the rest of the US didn’t agree with PSL’s platform enough to get out and vote for the obvious better choice, but that’s just another example of the tragic consequences of the US being so far behind the rest the world in education I guess.
In the general election, there were only two choices. That’s how the game theory of our election works. You can talk about making the obvious better choice in the Democratic primary all you want and that’s fine, but if you bitch about voting third party in the general election you are objectively a fucking moron who doesn’t have a goddamn clue.
Either that or a pro-fascist concern troll spreading disinformation on purpose. One or the other.
Incorrect, the first party to get 51% of electoral college votes win. That is the system Americans choose to continue to live under. Not the made up system you described.
If 31% of the US population voted third party, a third party would win the white house.
Actually it’s as low 21%, but that’s a theoretical low and unlikely to happen.
And if my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle. So fucking what?
So is the shit you’re spewing!
Well, I hope you enjoy the fascism you helped cause with that stupid move.
Incorrect, Third Party voters did not cause Harris’ loss.
What did was Democrats running Kamala Harris without a primary, after trying to pretend Biden was mentally and physically stable enough to actually be president again. That and the whole endorsing and explicitly materially supporting a genocide. And Harris’ extensive history of anti-black racism. And Harris exclusively catering to the far-right despite every single retired democratic strategist telling the DNC for over a decade now that going right will not win a single vote as Trump supporters do not change their voting habits.
And people like you. Trying to shame people into voting for a genocidal racist far-right fascist with a blue tie.
I understand the extreme need to justify your horrible action/inaction to yourself. But you should keep it to yourself
And because of your failure to vote usefully, and your encouraging others to do the same, we have Trump. No matter what mental gymnastics you try to use convince yourself otherwise, you know it’s your fault.
No one stupider than a 3rd party voter in America
A female Reagan!! Hahahahaha!
I also thought that was hilarious. She was a terrible candidate. This country is the worst.
