This is such bullshit. There wasn't a single Dem who made bathrooms and sports significant parts of their campaigns. I'm really getting sick of guys like Cuomo and Rahm Emanuel retconning the 2024 election.

The image features a symmetrical, abstract floral design with a central yellow flower surrounded by purple petals and green leaves. The petals are elongated and have a gradient of purple hues, with darker shades at the tips and lighter shades near the center. The green leaves are positioned at the intersections of the petals, adding a contrasting color to the composition. The background is a solid light blue, which enhances the vividness of the purple and green colors. The overall design is balanced and harmonious, with the elements radiating outward from the center, creating a visually appealing pattern.

The image depicts a character with long, dark hair and a serious expression. She is wearing a dark jacket with intricate gold patterns on the sleeves and a white shirt underneath. A silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant is visible around her neck. Her right arm is adorned with a mechanical or robotic sleeve, featuring a number "33" on the upper arm, and has a metallic, geometric design. Her left hand is raised, with fingers slightly curled, and she appears to be wearing a dark glove. The background is abstract and textured, with a mix of earthy tones and splashes of white, suggesting a gritty or battle-worn environment.
