All the fascist Republicans crawling out from every creek there is. And dammit there's a lot of them.
But it is no wonder, because you've had to be a psychopath for decades to be a Republican, and from psychopath to fascist is not very far.

They think AOC’s appeal is that she’s an attractive woman. So, of course, their chauvinistic response to put what they consider an attractive woman out against her.
I can’t tell if it’s just chauvinistic or also a calculated way to keep the conversation about AOC on her looks and away from her policies.
Even if it were true, Meg looks like a dehydrated horse these days.
That's not fair to dehydrated horses.
She could look like an infected foot and I’d still vote for the only progressive democrat.
And that's literally her platform. To be a hater.
One of these days, candidates are going to start running for office “for” something. I’m tired of voting against something.
Good news!
The current DNC agrees with you, here's him being asked about Mamdani months ago:
Ken Martin (current DNC chair):
Well, first, it was a brilliant campaign. And there's a lot of lessons.
One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can't just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There's no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we're for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.
And that's really critical. And I think that's one of the lessons from Mamdani's campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.
I think that's one of the lessons. The other lessons, of course, is the tactics he used to get his message out, both a very aggressive in-person campaigning, meeting voters where they're at, and then also in those digital spaces, using very creative messaging to cut through the noise and to get to voters in an inexpensive but authentic way.
There's a lot to learn from that campaign, and I'm excited to learn more.

And she’d lose.
Bigly
She is a cancerous attention whore, perfect for today’s GOP
In retrospect, Sarah Palin wasn’t a terrible person but definitely a harbinger of things to come.
Nah. Sarah Palin was a terrible person too.

Member when NBC News was like "Let's hire her for millions - she's a serious journalist" and then when everything she did went to shit they were like "hmm. Ok lets' move her to Saturday afternoons . . "
Goddamned republiQan owned fuckwit corporate traitor idiots.
Is she sadistic enough to hold her own against the big beasts of the party, though? She may be a toxic narcissist, but this is the big league and the performative puppy-killers and AR15 family photo people couldn’t eat her for lunch if she doesn’t bring her game.

she would get fucking destroyed in fair election against AOC.
would she though? I can hear everyone from centre left to the far right now saying “I couldn’t vote for AOC she’s just too extreme, we don’t need those far left socialist ideas in our government.”
I have a friend—a big Bernie guy who talks about how he wouldve been great. He said to me the other day, “AOC can go fuck herself.” I asked why. He said, “she just doesn’t know what people want. She went too far left.”
Jesus Christ. He’s usually a pretty sound thinker. I have no idea what that is. Maybe just plain old misogyny.

Bet. Do it. I’d love to see this.
Presidential Nominee Kelly + Presidential Nominee Ocasio-Cortez = President Ocasio-Cortez.
I hope you're right, but we thought similar things about Trump since he came down that hideous golden staircase in 2015, and look where we are now
Trump is a man. He doesn’t have sexism working against him.
And a white man, at that.
Orange is the new white

Republican women so clearly forgetting their party is misogynist
This bitch told Maher that trans was her #1 issue. How is that going to help anyone in America?
Then she discovered how irrelevant she was and started screaming "Look at me!!!" even louder.
Basically that. Just another female MAGA head that gives credibility to "dumb blonde" jokes.
Please do go ahead and split the republican vote you fucking trash GOP sycophant.
Great!
The more crowded the republican primary the better.
trumps going to try and run again, or name a successor. A crowded field of republicans tearing each other down will only help Dems.
We can manage a cordial primary, they only know how to campaign by saying their opponent is the devil.
We can manage a cordial primary
Yeah no. Dem primaries are only "cordial" if the progressive loses, otherwise the neolibs will take their ball and play with the fascists. See: Mamdani.
I'd argue that they'd try to out-crazy one another and we'd end up with a psycho. Also, while we'll be cordial in comparison, there's still a lot of infighting on the Democratic side.

Hahahahahahhhhaaaahahahahaha
Oh you sweet summer child, Megyn Kelly. You actually believe Trumpie is just going to stop being President.
I hear she had blood coming out her . . wherever
Sure, do it
Her hubris astonishes me.
Does she not believe that her Dear Leader will rule over America forever?
And she thinks a woman could do a better job?
Are we sure she’s still a republican?
One of these things is not like the other
Caucasity
Who did the work on her jaw? That's fucking backalley chopshop level work there.
