In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump announced that he was revising a lawsuit against The New York Times to include the organization’s polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
edit: spacing; Kinda supports the rest of what I said no?
edit: spacing; quite possible.

edit: spacing; I agree. But we need a bigger shift, this isn’t going to happen because one guy or even 5 sensible people get elected. Until that point, DNC is by far the lesser of two evils, but we can’t afford to ride that. We need grassroots that can organize and reform, back the lesser of two evils and work their way into proper control.
The nation started with only white, land-owning men being able to vote (land which they stole from indigenous people using genocidal violence). Now it’s mostly only wealthy, land-owning, disproportionately-white men and women influencing the direction of the nation (at least “through the proper channels”).
I think you might have a mythologized vision of America based on the Civil Rights era. That was the exception, not the rule.
Once you reach the point where you’re guilty of genocide, I don’t think you’re allowed to play “lesser” evil anymore. Even if you “only” genocide 400,000 people and ‘the other guy’ genocides 800,000 people, you’re both just irredeemably evil.
Again, we already had that with Bernie Sanders and the DNC rigged it. “Grassroots reform” in the capacity you’re talking about is a democratic function. You cannot play democracy with a fundamentally un-democratic institution.
