"Against edgelordism in all its forms" is becoming a foundational principle for me. Civilization is impossible without an unflinching commitment to pro-social behavior and a willingness to marginalize any deviation.

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

It will break a lot of narratives if the United States is on the forefront of defeating global fascism again.

When it was heard of it certainly would not have been a progressive African American pastor and a Jew.

It is bigoted to attack someone just for being Jewish, which has happed to every Jewish person I know on the left no matter their position on Isreal. If Jews feel unsafe in our movement it is a serious problem. Just as it would be for Muslims or any other ethnic/religious group.

just like the Fugitive Slave Act, conservatives demand that they can impose their evil systems upon liberal states, democracy be damned, but if liberal states so much as offer a mild disincentive for evil to make conservative state maybe Suck Less then it's unconstitutional tyrannical overreach

We've wreaked generational damage on the US, killed millions worldwide, & crucially killed countless Palestinian civilians by electing Trump & all because Joe Biden revealed certain folks fantasy-version of middle east relations weren't real.

Right? I don't remember the media caring at all about Delaney, Castro, Bullock, Sestak, Ryan, Moulton, Inslee, or Swalwell in 20. Those are the equivalent candidates to Rham in 28. Before the media writes any more about Rham's perspective run, they should explain who his constituency is.

There’s a lot to unpack in this whole discussion but I want to say as an autistic man: How dare these grotesque fuckweasels suggest that this has to be the way because they’re ND?!? How dare you imply my brain is so broken I can’t be held to the most basic standards of human fucking decency?!?

The people who underreacted to the racist smear campaigns and "MASS DEPORTATION NOW" signs and calling live human beings "poison to the blood of the country" are the least moral people among us second only to the people who actively voted for our oppression or worse.

Just to be safe we should just vote in every election. It is maddening how such an easy act of civic responsibility is treated every time like we're asking them to make a heavy personal sacrifice.

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

NO!!! Electing a majority that's big enough so that Joe Manchin (or, say, John Fetterman) isn't the 50th vote is what keeps them from defining party priorities!

We have a big issue on the non-Republican side where people will just make things up about Democrats because "hurr durr, both parties same" get you a lot of clout with stupid people on social media. This is just wrecker behavior and people should pay a reputational cost for doing it.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

the thing with this is they can't make a national security argument either! they haven't managed shit! at least with iraq, until it became clear what a complete clusterfuck the aftermath was, they could say "we did in fact topple saddam" iran's regime stands and is more powerful than ever

on reflection I think a part of it is, even when Bush or even Trump 1 was going on, you could go to DC, go to the Kennedy Center, or the Smithsonian and it could feel like it was still you capital that the government was still doing good things you liked its an attack on that

If they had an ounce of political sense they would be lining up to take (undeserved) credit for the pending Democratic victory. But instead, they want to make it clear that everything the Democrats achieve electorally and in government will be done in over their objections and attempted sabotage.

The fatal flaw: Erin explicitly urges trans voters to withhold votes, claiming “A Republican victory costs one seat for one term.” Nonsense. Handing the Senate or Governorships to MAGA means confirming lifetime hard-right judges and eliminating veto pens. That’s pure wrecker behavior.

Folks, this is just a starting offer. If you hold out, and his polling gets worse, we can get him to promise everyone $10K or even $15K that they’ll absolutely never see. Art of the deal, baby.
