GenX guy (he/him). I don't hate the Democratic party. I do hate misinformation and groupthink. In-group labels like "centrist" and "progressive" are meaningless. Truth matters, even if it doesn't support your worldview. Trying to learn from others.

The transformation of political media into niche fandoms has been very destructive. The incentive structure is distorted. Encouraging endless "takes". The opinion page has taken over the entire paper. People become "fans" of various purveyors. Show biz, basically.

Public executions are heinous and psychotic, with the goal of inuring the public to state-run violence, which never are one-off under authoritarians and fascists.

It's even worse. It's "I'm sorry I said that but in my defense I've been watching a lot of videos about how bad Black crime is and how that's the only thing Black people do is murder white people. Just watching murders all day long. But *all* Black people don't deserve to die."

Again, folks, we *would have gotten to fixing the problems with AI* if terminally online and terminally contrarian people didn't spend their whole existences opposing the idea that Dems could do good governance. Harris had a plan for *all this*!

I don't even buy no. 1 because it validates the idea that you can actively undermine attempts to avoid Trump 2 and yet still be considered "opposed to genocide".

The Dems have dumped millions into his campaign & slotkin did a fundraiser for him. This comes off as pathetic whining & a very telling need to be persecuted.

The thing about Ben Collins is that he clearly views himself as a political actor. He came out of political journalism, he has no relevant comedy experience, his partner also came out of political journalism and ran for Congress. So we should view his actions primarily through a political lens.

This whole, "everything I don't like is Israeli," thing people keep doing is getting closer and closer to just being mask off Nazis. And Sunrise doing it is making a bid for a red-brown ecofascist alliance based on shared conspiratorial thinking blaming Israel for everything they don't like.

I wouldn't, for two reasons: (a) The phrase is meaningless. It's used as an epithet, but all it means is epithet-ness; and (b) It doesn't describe what is wrong with Rahm Emanuel. And there's plenty wrong with him!

When I was younger I would listen to Rush or Hannity, and joke that I was “keeping an eye on the opposition.” I would find myself yelling at the radio in the car so I stopped bc it was bad for me. MMFA took that idea, and did it at scale, and broke the brains of some really talented journalists.

Whereas leftists just tell up-is-down lies about democrats. They’re anti-trans. They’re pro-austerity. They thirst for war. There is no social cost in leftist circles to just baldly lying about Democrats, if it makes them look bad. You GET cred by doing that. You lose cred by correcting those lies.

“end up losing to him” how? By people choosing not to vote. Against all the horrors we were clearly and repeatedly warned about. So again, people who were not “inspired” enough to vote against all of this terror and violence.

"The people whining about Morello are the same people who consistently make the wrong choice during those primaries. They’re the ones who actually helped Trump" This makes no sense. How exactly are people who didn't choose your preferred candidate "the ones who actually helped Trump"?

No example in the article of Dems not having a spine, thus being the contrast to their supposed growth of a spine. But worth pointing out that it’s been 35 years since an opposition Senate confirmed a president’s nominee, & it’s been 35 years since a Repub nominee was confirmed w <50 Repub votes
