(To be clear, Bloomberg can do what he wants, but I'm sick of the Democrats acting like they're the "money out of politics" party when they routinely outspend their opponents and take donations from public-sector unions.)

You can support getting money out of politics without unilaterally disarming.

I don't know. I suppose it depends on how much the words and the actions match when the power to do something arises.

The difference is that Democrats will still criticize Bloomberg all the time and nobody's going to change their position on an issue because of his spending.  Republicans, meanwhile, are terrified of the NRA and essentially delegate their entire policy on guns to the organization and have to constantly kiss its ass and defend the indefensible.

Exactly right - just a way of virtue signaling while doing the same stuff as the GOP

What evidence is there that Republicans are "terrified" of the NRA, or that Democrats actually follow through on their rhetoric about Bloomberg, for that matter?

They are terrified of the NRA, due to the power the endorsement has(5 million voters)

The difference is that Republican donors (billionaire freaks, oil companies, etc) are bad and public-sector unions are good.

Bloomberg isn't really comparable to the NRA, he's comparable to the Koch brothers except they hide their funding through astroturf roots organizations. That's one reason Bloomberg hasn't had, nor will he have the level of success the Kochs have had.

Public-sector unions are comprised of members whose salaries are paid by tax dollars, whom the union then collects dues from, which are then funneled towards candidates who promise to raise the salaries of the union members. It is the definition of parasitism.

The coolface saga has honestly lost its novelty factor after sooooo many times.

(Another clarification: I'm not a fan of Kyle-- or even this stupid meme format-- but I am sick of the contradictory arguments I hear from far-leftists over these riots.)

Yes; we refer to this as a "virtuous cycle."

According to the Harris County Clerk, they will be doing a continuous 24-hour voting site in a couple weeks for third shift workers and night workers. That’s quite an operation

Yes, Harris will be doing 8 24-hour voting sites on the Thursday before the election.

Harris is CURRENTLY doing drive through voting.

People are sleeping in what a visionary Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is. She has a bright future.

If I lived there I'd vote at like 2am just for the novelty.

The partisan’s embrace of hypocrisy is visible foremost in its response to whataboutery.

I'm tuning back in, had to take a long break because I was so stressed out from all this.

But seriously, what the hell happened?  How were the polls so wrong?  What happened to the Democratic wave in the suburbs?  What happened to Biden winning indies and 65+?  Where were all those people who showed up in 2018?

2016 was a nightmare, but at least I understood it.  I really don't understand what I watched tonight.  My entire political intuition is apparently completely wrong.  Biden won pretty much every news cycle of the campaign, while Trump self-destructed constantly, the fundamentals of the election were all in Biden's favor, and this was reflected in virtually every one of the thousands of major polls taken over the last two years.

And yet here we are.
