    “If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet” Cruz said.

      It’s just right-wing buzzword scrabble with that guy. No need to even speak in complete sentences, just say a bunch of words that your voters want to demonize, and take home the money.

      “Radical” “Obamacare” “Left-wing” Triple word score!

        I was honestly nodding my head in agreement until I got the the word investment-killing. Then I realized it was meant to sound bad lol

      God damn, Cruz will molest talking points into a sentence by any means necessary. It’s like he rolls dice each morning to decide which random words he has to slap together.

      Drag shows are literally banning gas stoves through an Antifa deep state Obamacare abortion.

        I don’t even know if he actually believes it but rather just wants easily fooled people to believe it.

      It’s just saying a bunch of bullshit and hoping that one of the things you say resonates with everyone.

      If you don’t get them by the first 3 lies, saying ‘Obamacare’ is guaranteed to rile them up.

      Ted Cruz reminds me of a lot of people, but I hate him more than any of them.

      No worries, the Democrats will do what the party does best with a majority - pretty much nothing.

      Enough to say “see? We’re better than the other guys”, but not enough to even nudge the status quo.

        I genuinely don’t give a fuck about these petty little ontological bullshit games the DNC has grown fond of in the last two election cycles. I don’t give the first fuck if they’re “better than the other guys” if the status quo, if the material conditions aren’t changing a jot. For misleaders who claim to be better than the cultists, I see a whole lot of fucking nothing changing for the progressive.

        Until we have democrats that are serious about ending carceral slavery, ending(and fully disarming) the militarization of police, ending our mosquito-like suckling of crude oil and natural gas, ending the domestic espionage programs like PRISM, FIVE-EYES and their ilk, closing the genocide camps at the border, and making actual good on our climate catastrophe, I genuinely don’t give a damn what they say; I’d rather the country fell than humor these career criminals.

      And all of the conservative dumbfucks will eat it up just like how they eat Trump’s asshole.
