Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

Of course he is, but it's always important to remember: These parasites talk a good game, but they are virtuosically incompetent. They are ALWAYS bluffing, and whatever they do, will always fail.
That last part is where I disagree. They may falter, they may struggle to overcome their massive incompetence, but they literally have unlimited funds to throw at it, and a rabid cult of a fan base. Even if they don’t accomplish their goals, they will cause enough damage to “ruin it for everyone” for the foreseeable future.
We've seen many times in the past that money won't guarantee an election. In fact, it seems to make them overconfident, which is a classic blunder, so exactly the kind of hole MAGA would fall into.
We are already on to their propaganda. Screaming it louder or more often, won't make it sound reasonable.
In addition, they will have a serious problem building negative campaigns against Progressives. Go ahead and holler about how Democratic candidates want free health care, free college, free day care, etc. and try to convince everyone how ANOTHER endless war in the Middle East is a better path for America.
They will focus nearly entirely on trans rights, because they have NOTHING else.
