This reply seems especially ironic here considering how often Dems are scorned for not doing things that are precisely performative and yet treated like the definition of substance.

Unfortunately, as we've already seen, folks keep expecting Dems to already be doing magic in the minority, and that Dems might not be able to overturn a Veto is already being used as reason to scorn Dems, not focus blame on obstructionist GOPers. Case in point:

The ability to mangle and misinterpret a single ubiquitous phrase like 'pound for pound' in order to defend what Piker says here and insist on the "America is the most unforgivable evil" is...almost remarkably impressive.

The sheer callousness in his post right after that is already something, but his quote replies later to Dana Houle are just...wow. I really don't know what it is about the Bidens in particular that seem to enrage him, especially considering the GOPers who have the same sins but magnitudes worse.

Man, you know what's kinda hilarious? That Weigel thinks this response acquits him somehow, instead of damns his and the industry's entire worldview. "We wouldn't care about Hunter if it didn't give us a chance to put knives to Joe, because we hates him precious."

Citizen K | Long Live The King 👑 @citizenkryptik.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Weigel has an axe grind here, clearly. The thing is Hunter Biden has owned up to his problems significantly more than certain other failsons have, and his failings have had far less far reaching national consequences. And even then, Weigel's post is just fucking ghoulish in general.

And meanwhile, folks are finding ways that they can make it, ultimately, the fault of 'the libs' and 'economic anxiety'.

Ah, but you see, Mike, what they say is always infinitely more important than what they did, and what folks THINK they said is infinitely more important than what they ACTUALLY said!

One of the amazing things is when folks simply remove themselves from Dems' 'messaging problems', because they want to hack at the Dems whose 'vibes are off' instead of spreading the word they want to hear, and then blame the Dems for somehow failing to get the message across.

Citizen K | Long Live The King 👑 @citizenkryptik.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Unfortunately, way too many folks instead demand purity punching their way to victory based off completely invented realities, on the belief that sheer conviction and will necessarily trumps numbers and votes, and that Dems are forever the real enemy on that measure.

Citizen K | Long Live The King 👑 @citizenkryptik.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Unfortunately, no one wants to hear that no matter how true it is, they'll always find some bar that Dems have failed to meet that proves have done "nothing at all".

Gotta love how folks, when presented examples of media being uniquely hostile and mendacious toward Dems, will insist, "If Dems just brute forced the media then the media would of course be just as beholden to them as they are to Repubs!" And like...what world has that ever been true?

Welp, it happened, someone came out and said outright that politics really DOES happen at the speed of posting. (I want to give grace for the possibility of sarcasm, but the post construction and timeline don't suggest so...)

Unfortunately, I'm not so sure it was sarcastic, or at least in the way that gives Dems any grace.

Unfortunately, his reply here seems to suggest he was sincere in laying at Dems' feet, even after being reminded that Dems have *tried* and keep getting negative political dividends for their efforts.

Remember this scene in Guardians of then Galaxy? This is my attitude toward the USA. Yes, it has far too much red in its ledger. But that's reason to want it to be better. Not to claim that it was always bad and thus deserves to burn nor to erase the good, idealistic parts of its foundations

Gotta love folks with a sober conception of how the government works, and the absolute insistence that one wrong plus one one completely unrelated wrong necessarily makes a right.

Because Murc's Law is god. And being a sketchy dude with zero credentials and a tattoo he claimed no knowledge about for nearly two decades is less of a sin than being old and 'establishment liberal'. And of course 'libs should know better so of course it's their fault'.

What we have here are two sides of why Trump gets away with what he does: 1) treating his corruption as 'secret genius' as if he wasn't explicitly normalized by enablers, and 2) folks acting like he's really a paper tiger that Dems refuse to fight, therefore making THEM the real monsters responsible

Someone in the replies LITERALLY claiming Hillary did universal healthcare wrong on purpose back in the 90s to derail it because liberals hate the people and all things good. At some point the hatred of liberals is axiomatic and backfills any explanation for the world they have.

Doesn't matter because Schumer has already been designated as a betrayer. So either he walks back, or if he actually follows through, it's onlly because he was scared by the power of REAL heroes rather than because he actually meant to. Dem'd if you do, Dem'd if you don't. You lose either way

This? This shit is what I meant by "believing in the better angels of the GOP" The GOP is the architect of this shit, and yet somehow the Dems are being held more accountable for not being perfect party line vote? For not finding mythic defectors from the GOP that were surely there if Dems "tried"?
