Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

One way or another, he’s a liar.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

People are weird.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Come on, man.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

The polls for Biden aren’t quite as good today as some past days. His campaign already has Oprah money though, so I think I’ll focus on down ballot things that can also help with the presidential race.

The two “tipping point” states right now are Pennsylvania and Arizona. Let’s give to the Pennsylvania State Democratic party and the Maricopa County (where all the action is in AZ) Democratic party.

And some more for Fifteen for Flipping. If we win this fifteen races, we take control of a majority of the state delegations in the House which means that Biden wins if there’s a tie.

As always you can see all the candidates we are supporting here. We are nearing a million dollars in fundraising this cycle.

    There was a lot of talk on Pod Save America last night about the ways Trump can win.  It was fairly distressing.  I think we are in pretty good shape, and I would much rather be us than them, but we do not have this thing in the bag.

    If you want a dose of realism, listen to the podcast.

    My penny pinching habits are losing their grip. I donated my $1200 check to my Instacart drivers and Democratic Senate candidates. Now I’m into my savings and I don’t feel a bit bad about it.

    I got you, that’s all I want…

    Glad to see some BJ love to the PA Dems. I threw in some more here. Gave last weekend for the Spinal Tap table read. Michael McKean spent his college years here at CMU.

    The vast majority of our donations weren’t via DougJ’s B-J fundraising thermometers. So Balloon Juice may be over the million $$ total already if those donations were added in!

    I get these plaintive emails from people running for office, late at night…

    @J R in WV: I hear you. Great blegibg skills from many of the campaigns.  The DGA needs a reboot. I do get tired of feeling as if I’m helping to buy ads, but somewhere I found a note about paying for voter outreach and safety.  So maybe this really is getting closer to the finish line. Inch by inch.
