Who said anything about a trailer park? Not everybody WANTS to or even necessarily SHOULD watch the news 24/7 and center their lives around politics. The fact that highly educated, comfortable people in blue states engage more in more 100% has a cultural aspect

misanthropic? if you judge people for having different interests and more personal things to worry about than global politics, that’s on you. all you have to do is step outside your circle for one second to realize most people aren’t that political. and it doesn’t mean I hate them lol

+ most people just do not go out of their way to learn about global politics and have never had nonetheless actually listened to a canvasser at their door. when politics is forced in their face they pick the easy explanation

im not saying they don’t care about tax dollars in fact tax dollars is pretty much the only thing they care about. but they’re going to follow the explanation that is easiest to believe based on “evidence” they can actually see front of them. aka immigrants and welfare, not foreign debt and war

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

The ONLY way progressive (and pro-Palestinian) voices are EVER going to have ANY control in their country again is if you are willing to stop moral grandstanding for one second and at least PRETEND to care about the issues that affect these people DIRECTLY.

The fact is that the average American doesn’t even fucking know what the fuck Gaza is nonetheless what Israel is doing there. They don’t understand how it affects them either. They’ve never heard the phrase “debt ceiling” in their life.

When I say we need to compromise, NO, I’m NOT saying we need to compromise with the fascist GOP and useless DNC. I’m saying we need to compromise with the AVERAGE AMERICAN and what THEY want. Instead of continuously trying to appeal to a well-educated and (relatively) financially stable minority.

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

fixating on the most upsetting issue you know, refusing to accept it as a complex/unpopular issue, and endlessly proclaiming how you don’t care about anybody who doesn’t know/care enough might make you feel like a hero but it saves nobody. compromise is unavoidable in life

You only think support for Israel is “wildly unpopular” because A. you’re in an echo chamber of college educated young people who’re comfortable enough to even think about global conflicts and B. because your favorite political streamer said so.

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

A HARD TRUTH THE LEFT MUST SWALLOW. You cannot fight against colonialism without a support base, and the ONLY Americans who understand and care about global conflicts (including the genocide in Gaza) are a well-educated, financially stable minority.

100

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

yes, the genocide is horrific. yes, colonialism is the root of all evil. but you can’t fight anything w/o support and if you think a global conflict is in the top 50 things the avg american cares about you’re lying to yourself. only well educated + financially stable ppl understand what it even is

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

colonialism and the genocide in gaza are literally the only thing hasan ever talks or cares about anymore. im starting to wonder if he any other leftist belief he ever had was genuine

TLDR: The state the left is in sucks balls, but historically, the doom and stagnation we feel right now indicates eventual rebirth of the movement, not death. Progressive infighting could even be growing pains that bring us closer to the organized mobilization we need.

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

I cannot tell you how frustrated I am when all we do is infight instead of organizing, but we don’t even have a cohesive and inspiring progressive voice to stand behind…and maybe we can’t find one until we burn ourselves out and learn to compromise like the right did.

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

The internet has changed culture and late stage capitalism has numbed us. The tame, sterilized, polite politics of the DNC aren’t working anymore. In order to win again, the left build itself back up in a big way. But this cannot happen until we burn it all down.

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

ALWAYS. Even the dark ages came to an end eventually. It is incredibly hard to take two steps forward without inciting one step back, but it is even harder for them to take one step back without inciting two steps forward. And when they manage to take take two steps? We take FOUR steps forward.

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

Now I’m going to get very abstract and philosophical but hear me out. History is not an arrow. It’s a spiral, or a pendulum on a forward track. Politics have been hijacked by hateful, reactionary thinking many times before…and yet progress always wins in the end.

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

Right now a lot of us feel how Republicans did in 2015-2016. We can’t envision a progressive candidate winning ever again. Liberals are calling leftists communists. Leftists are calling liberals fascists. Organization nonetheless mobilization seems impossible. No mainstream DNC candidate inspires.

MAGA hated nevertrumpers. Nevertrumpers hated MAGA. And yet, the right sorted itself out and came back stronger and more united than ever— delivering what today’s America clearly craves most: populism. So how is this a good thing?

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

🧵A DASH OF HOPIUM FOR CONCERNED PROGRESSIVES: in ~2014 a Republican told me there’d never be a Republican president again. in ~2015, most Republicans laughed at the idea of Trump as their candidate. from 2016-2019, the Republican Party was divided into MAGA and “nevertrumpers.”

I roll my eyes every time I see a progressive parrot insults from their favorite streamer, crying about “tankies” or “liberals,” refusing to find common ground with anybody who doesn’t pass their purity test while clearly having no idea what the word even means. BUT,

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

as much as it pains me to watch the left fracture into various performative echo chambers that are currently more focused on infighting than working together… I have to remind myself that messy, contradictory chaos like this is exactly how the right won. Modern America clearly craves populism.

They took away abortion and criminalized miscarriages, so people stopped trying to have children. The pregnancy rate dropped. There are now not enough new births to replace the workforce in the United States. And it’s still dropping as more people are choosing abstinence. /

The USA had Watergate. Why can it not have Pedogate when the President and many of his cabinet are clearly involved in it. It is time for everyone in Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile ring to go to jail.

How weird is it that the media keeps referring to her as “executive” “employee” “mother” —anything but CEO? Why..?

0150

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

A lot of sources are also referring to her as a “loving mother”…I don’t think BREIT is a big deal or anything but it seems a bit strange to leave out the fact she was CEO. Is this misogyny, or the fear or “CEO killed” in another headline?

000

LOBBYING IS CORRUPTION @coco143.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

Senseless murder is obviously bad. Why is the media referring to BREIT’s recently murdered CEO as an “executive” or “employee” though? It’s a bit strange.

spoken like a diehard White Sox fan

In our competitive society, where it seems that only the strong and winners deserve to live, sport also teaches us how to lose. It forces us, in learning the art of losing, to confront our fragility, our limitations and our imperfections. It is through the experience of these limits that we open our hearts to hope. Athletes who never make mistakes, who never lose, do not exist.
