How about:
Isn’t that the point of Lemmy? So you can get additional context and perspectives with the news?

Isn’t that the point of Lemmy? So you don’t have to rawdog news?

But (nearly) all the reporting and commentary on Project 2025 badly misses the point. I’ve only read a single writer who immediately grasped the true significance of Project 2025: The American Prospect’s Rick Perlstein, which is unsurprising, given Perlstein’s stature as one of the left’s most important historians of right wing movements:

As Perlstein points out, Project 2025 isn’t new. The Heritage Foundation and its allies have prepared documents like this, with many identical policy prescriptions, in the run-up to many presidential elections. Perlstein argues that Warren G Harding’s 1921 inaugural address captures much of its spirit, as did the Nixon campaign’s 1973 vow to “move the country so far to the right ‘you won’t even recognize it.’”

The threats to democracy and its institutions aren’t new. The right has been bent on their destruction for more than a century. As Perlstein says, the point of taking note of this isn’t to minimize the danger, rather, it’s to contextualize it. The American right has, since the founding of the Republic, been bent on creating a system of hereditary aristocrats, who govern without “interference” from democratic institutions, so that their power to extract wealth from First Nations, working people, and the land itself is checked only by rivalries with other aristocrats. The project of the right is grounded in a belief in Providence: that God’s favor shines on His best creations and elevates them to wealth and power. Elite status is proof of merit, and merit is “that which leads to elite status.”

Yeah, I didn’t word that well. I know it’s not re-election to the same seat, but it’s elected again to congress. What would it take to defeat her in the general election? Money?

Is there nothing we can do to prevent her re-election?

Yes, you’d know this, too, if you’ve done any research on Rule 34.

Never test in production!

I forgot to add the ellipsis. Fixed.

The U.S Justice Department said on Tuesday that it disrupted a Russian operation that used fake social media accounts enhanced by artificial intelligence to covertly spread pro-Kremlin messages in the United States and abroad.

…

The Justice Department secured court approval to seize two domain names and search nearly 1,000 social media accounts allegedly associated with the effort.

If this convict is worried about Biden quitting, it makes me think all the calls for Biden to step down “because he can’t win” might be originating on the right, not the left.

They don’t seem to care.

What’s he waiting for then?

But SCOTUS can choose how to interpret this amendment however they choose.
