This should be the very first Executive Order, removing his name from everything along with urging Congress to pass a law expressly forbidding sitting politicians to put their name on things. Not the most important issue, but perhaps the most symbolic of what comes next.

That "No" should be "Yes and". I'm not sure why people want to make their message more contrarian and stupid. I guess it drives engagement. What a wonderful system we have created.

How does one become a Democratic Strategist? Is failing an IQ test and losing an argument to a middle schooler part of the hiring process, or is that just a coincidence they can all do both?

He is absolutely right. Much in the same way PCs/Internet could have given us the 4 day workweek and return to single incomes. It certainly could have. That is the life we all COULD be living right now. Instead we got oligarchs like Bezos.

Never forget that we've always sucked. We trend toward better, but it is a jagged line getting there.

Party leadership has shown to correct as many as half the issues in the report while creating many more. To expedite the process, they have hired consultants from the Washington Generals.

When reached for comment on The Onion's signature hard hitting reporting, Martin said "Please don't bother us right now, we're busy selecting the 2028 POTUS candidate."

It's so much worse when you know that CPI has been underreported all century. Fucking Boskin Commission.

Translation: We wrote this article specifically for the president so he would do more tariffs so we, the rich, can price gouge more and pocket the eventual settlement, again.

Decision: Have Trees Next to Roads? On the one hand, trees near roads look nice, are natural traffic calming, and drastically reduce heat island effects. On the other, people who drive into those trees should be free to drive into homes and people instead. Somehow we got this one wrong.

Last vestiges?? You're describing the last Democratic administration, most of the '28 hopefuls, current congressional leadership, and legions of state level officials.

Let me see if I have this right. The big promise is stuff it's almost unbelievable it isn't a thing already, a vague lowering of age, and the USA still being miles behind civilized countries when it comes to healthcare coverage. Also, no chance of this being veto proof. That's a BIG swing.

In their defense, most Democrats have been saying "we passed the Heritage Foundation healthcare plan over a decade ago- what more do you want from us?" and people fall for that... Glass houses and stones.

Sorry, we just can't tax unrealized gains they say, sitting in houses whose property tax is adjusted annually.

It's so much worse because what they did with inflation in the 90s is invisible on this chart.

The "If such-and-such, something would get done about it" talking point is a very, very bad one. We know this because people keep using it for causes that are losing. Stay focused on the issue at hand, do not diffuse the message at the end as it often leaves the listener mad about the wrong thing.

We decided company stores were an unacceptable way to tie a person's necessities to their employer, so we replaced them with employer-sponsored benefits, where the necessity is no longer cans of soup but medical care. Progresso.

I don't want to diminish the pure insanity of the 2020s, but when was America ever not like this? War? We've done that way more years than not. Corruption? We invented lobbying and kept it. Scam based economy? That's Tuesday.

"Two people I don't like were in the same state the day after news happened- it must be a conspiracy" is an insane take. Laughing that he had one of them in the wrong state barely scratches the surface of what's wrong here.

"Do the stuff that's actually doable" is pretty much the loser slogan that Democrats have followed for decades as our nation declines. We're a quarter of the way through the century and Democrats landmark wins so far are a Heritage Foundation healthcare plan and ... ?

This is good. Stick to your message. The vids where you reply to the insane things the GOP are saying are bad. You look defensive, feed their insanity, and it all comes across as weak.

10 Minutes Sober and Counting @not-dicax.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Dems are already, before the election, walking back their rhetoric and having their talking heads hem and haw about how doing things is hard and stuff. We're a quarter way through the century and what have Democrats done? Seriously.

Episode #430 in the ongoing series, Congressman brags about doing the job of HR. Could you at least change it up to weed some flowerbeds or make someone a sandwich when you're aiming so far beneath your station?

Plus the states you skipped over. If Dems spend 27-29 impeaching without conviction, subpoena everyone and arrest anyone who is noncompliant, and pass laws they know Trump will veto it will be infinitely better than what leadership is planning to do, which is precompromise and look weak.

Abolish ICE and prosecute from the top down. Anyone who demands less is a collaborator.

Since when does it require POTUS to prosecute criminals? Congress can impeach, subpoena, and even arrest people. States can arrest people. Democrats are still counting on tradition and decorum like Charlie Brown kicking that football.

Yet, the DNC propaganda mill is already churning out stories and posts telling us that even if they do win the midterms we need to temper our expectations down near absolute zero. "We just can't get it done" should be the party slogan until the old guard is excised.

And they are correct. They have their target idiot audience. Democrats have their own. The stunning idiots of third parties. Then there are the apolitical idiots. All of us is be idiots.

Except Project 2025 and Mayor Mamdani have proven beyond a doubt that this line of thought is utter bullshit. Things can get done. Decades of Democrats pretending like their hands are tied brought us to where we are and more of the same is no longer acceptable.

No, I definitely want socialism. I'll gladly settle for Social Democracy if it means ending the living nightmare we've created, but socialism and eventually Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism are in fact the goals.

Perhaps first we should sort out the difference between an opinion and a mathematical fact. Then we can move on to exponential growth and finish with how CPI has been a lie for three decades, which is the primary cause of our increasing economic pain.

Yes, "look foolish". Meanwhile, this multi-billionaire who has evaded consequences for his many crimes has a chance to win governor of an economy larger than Belgium. So who exactly is/are the fool/s here?

Certainly not far enough to give some kid who couldn't shoot loads of drugs you hide via cremation and a janky rifle to fire into a crowd of "nobodies" where you have your WWF-style razor, complicit SS agents, camera ushers, and flag crane guy waiting.

Yes, please stop doing that. It's a inherently weak position that confuses issues. Focus on what is in front of you and be the voice you want to see in the world.

The world SHOULD NOT forgive us. It's actually convenient that the GOP is sabotaging our role in the global community, because we clearly no longer deserve it. The abject failure of our electorate, legislature, antiquated election systems, and criminal Justice System laid plain for all to see.

This one is on me. Sorry. I kept daring them to use AI to replace air traffic controllers in order to drive home the absurdity of the AI psychosis gripping our society. On the plus side, plane crashes have a tendency to get attention. Maybe that will break the spell before we give them missiles.

Gross. Unless a tiny fire breathing T-Rex runs across the desk, or some other obvious stamp that this is fake, this is engaging in several problematic behaviors and acting like it is funny. What's the point in beating MAGA if you're just going to become them?

You need to talk to your teammates. "Mayor Watson said he was "very angry" and "extremely unhappy" about the shooting, while accusing ICE of creating fear and chaos in Austin and other cities." By saying "Austin and cities" instead of "Texas communities" he gave MAGA an erection.
