There’s some things I see where I’m like “if this is even close to the median view we truly are fucked/deserve everything bad that happens“. Doubly so if AI slop is used to get the point across.

At the end of the day politics is Zionist conservatives and Hitlerian conservatives (and sometimes Putinist conservatives) fighting over which flavor of genocide is cooler

Just two years ago I would have made fun of people who wanted to leave the US from a sort of weird, left-nationalist perspective. Now I’m actually considering it unless we change course. I am well aware that no country is perfect - far from it - and that every country has its problems (many, even)

When rightoids (and centrists for that matter) talk about Marxist-Leninist states or communism in general:

I have zero respect for Democrats who vote against progressives in favor of moderates or conservatives (in both primary and general elections.) I will have zero respect for socialists who refuse to vote for a progressive because they’re not exactly what they want. If there’s a progressive, VOTE

Conservatives talk about “family values” yet their policies and politics harm families. They use the term as a scapegoat against queer people, but even without that their politics harm families. They never cared for families. They only care about big business, oligarchs, and the Epstein Class.

Saw a clip where a farmer who is being harmed as a result of Trump’s policies was venting about how he was shown no empathy. Seeing that clip touched me in a way which made me think “we need to offer more for farmers and people like him who are struggling, which few in the anti-Trump coalition are.”

I talked about a new Progressive Party and noticed three stars on the moose…so I decided to give them meaning - unity of urban workers, farmers, and small business (the stars) against big business, corporations, conservatism, and neoliberalism, under the party (moose) Did an accidental Maoism there

Congrats to my comrades across the border in the NDP who just flipped a seat (Calgary-Shaw) that Conservatives won by 14 points last year 🧡🌹 They fought the good fight when they were the CCF, and they’re fighting the good fight today. For the many, not the money

Joe Manchin endorsing Susan Collins and Mike Rogers really is a testament to how shitty moderates* are, and how they’re basically conservatives who can’t admit it. Their market fundamentalism and Islamophobia is…something else. *Ideological moderates, not normies who aren’t well-versed in politics

Looking at the Omaha Platform and of course some of the language or subjects are antiquated (eg: free silver), but the platform touches on a lot of things which were relevant then and are, somehow, still relevant today. www.americanyawp.com/reader/16-ca...

Some of the races this election cycle will either confirm my greatest hopes for the US, or my worst biases about US politics and the country in general. Namely Michigan, Maine, Florida to an extent, and CA-34.
