Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 19/07/2025You're the idiot here. Clearly I'm talking about lawsuits and civil/criminal prosecutions, not real estate deals 😂 nobody on earth calls a real estate transaction a "court case". 100
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 18/07/2025First of all, the word is "lawfare", a portmanteau of "law" and "warfare". Second, the lawfare argument relies on the notion that Trump is completely innocent. What's more likely, that Trump's had dozens of court cases over the years because people just hate him, or because he's actually a criminal? 110
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Only problem: I've gotta live here 😬 btw I've been to most of the states on this list and they all suck. Almost everybody wants to leave, it's just a matter of opportunity. 010
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/07/2025How do you even write satire at this point, when reality is so absurd? 000
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Fox News, right-wing talk radio, and dumbfuck "Ancient Aliens" type shows really melted people's brains. 030
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 05/06/2025You'll have to remind me what your question is, I'm not sure what you're referring to. 000
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025That's quite literally NOT the kind of race Hogg has said he's talking about, though. He's explicitly said he's not targeting "front-line" members facing tough reelection battles. The stated goal is to target complacent Dems in safe seats in order to revitalize the party. 100
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025This rests on the premise that Manchin and Sinema were uniquely bad, and that there weren't others willing to fill that role if necessary. We certainly need to elect more Democrats, but we ALSO need to primary the Democrats who are useless or actively harmful. 211
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025When did Hogg say he wants "fewer" Democrats? I'm not saying his plans are fully fleshed out, I'd certainly like him to be more articulate. But the core of the idea is to replace these old, indolent, useless Dems with fresh new blood who are willing to fight. Through democratic primaries, btw. 100
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025There aren't enough of them because they suck. They suck in large part because many of their donors don't want progressive policies, so they pay them to suck. Democrats would win more elections if they didn't suck. That's my stance. 010
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Like, how do you think you GET to a Congress that's willing to pass something like that? Not with these do-nothing corporatists who only care about serving their donors. 200
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Build Back Better would have been awesome, it couldn't pass because of exactly the kind of Democratic party politics I'm talking about. How many Democrats were out there running on a platform like that with their whole chest? Instead you get this mealy-mouthed bipartisanship stuff that never works. 000
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025I recognize that things were different then. I also recognize that we've been trying the "triangulation" strategy since Reagan, and it has resulted in our politics slipping further and further to the right, as Republicans continue to push for their agenda and Democrats refuse to fight. 100
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025FDR wasn't perfect by any means. That was a stain on his presidency, no question. How about we push for FDR-style policies, but make it equitable this time? Do you think that's just not possible? Isn't it worth trying? Standard Dem political strategy has lost us EVERYTHING, it's time for a change. 100
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025You mean barely squeaking in by the skin of their teeth, sometimes with margins so thin that they lose the EC even though they win the popular? FDR was our most progressive president ever, won 4 terms, and had supermajorities in both houses. But yeah, let's definitely never try progressivism. 300
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Because real progressivism hasn't been tried in decades, at least nationally. We've been TRYING the "pivot to the center" strategy, and it continues to fail us. It turns out that being halfway between Republican and Democrat makes you not very appealing to anyone as a candidate. 130
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 02/06/2025It's just indicative of Harris's disconnect from regular people, because there IS a group of people who absolutely love Liz Cheney: the establishment elites she surrounds herself with. 030
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 02/06/2025Basically every young person was screaming at her to take a stand against the genocide in Gaza, and instead she was like "hey look at my good friend Liz Cheney that absolutely nobody likes." 240
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 02/06/2025Sorry, but it was pretty bad. Harris and Walz came out hot, but quickly pivoted to the standard Democrat playbook that's been failing for ages now: take your own voters for granted, and do everything you can to court Republicans. She passed up so many opportunities to distance herself from Biden. 220
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Not only would I very much like to become an immigrant and get my ass out of here, at this point I feel like I ought to be considered a refugee! 010
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Nope. It's like how he doesn't understand that an 'asylum seeker' has nothing to do with insane asylums. He heard the word 'asylum' and conjured a whole narrative of other countries dumping their mental patients into the US. He might be the dumbest person to ever lead a country. 010
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 07/04/2025It makes sense when you realize that he literally doesn't understand what a trade deficit is. He thinks it's like a budget deficit, because he's a complete moron. It's like how he doesn't understand that an 'asylum seeker' has nothing to do with insane asylums. 000

Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 07/04/2025I'm imagining pinching the end of a potato and just tearing the skin off... It's kinda wigging me out to be honest. 000
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I think the big difference this time is how D&D is losing its dominance in social media. I remember a bit of drama that happened a couple of years ago with D&D players who did NOT want to hear about other games and resented them being suggested. Influencers seem to be increasingly open to new games. 100
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 22/03/2025That was an election year. It's easy to draw huge crowds as a presidential candidate in an election year. Such huge crowds at a time like this, when nobody is running for anything, indicates a pretty massive upswell in the engagement of the masses. 151
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Do you mop your floors then walk around in your socks? The cleaning solution might be eating them away. Definitely not speaking from experience 😅 000
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Pancreatic cancer took my grandma a few years ago. She was doing alright one day, then less than 3 months later she was gone. She was the most wonderful, selfless person I've ever known and probably ever will know. 000
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 14/03/2025This shouldn't be remotely revelatory to the Democrats. If you fight, you can change the narrative? Who woulda thunk it? 020
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Prison 42 was pretty fucked. It's too bad the MCU adaptation had to be so toned down. In the comics the pre-registration side especially got up to some sinister stuff. 130
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 11/03/2025She would have done better in a more normal era. Unfortunately for her the nation is in a populist mood, and the Democrats are by and large elitists and not particularly shy about that fact. So are the Republicans for the record, but they at least pretend to be populist, and it works for them. 000
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 09/03/2025You've got a really twisted idea of what progressivism is, warped by right-wing propaganda and feckless Democrats trying to pander on social issues so they don't have to address economic issues. 110
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 09/03/2025The Democrats lost control because they insisted on shackling the progressives at every turn while courting Liz Cheney style Republicans. The Democrat base is far more sympathetic to progressive messaging than to neoliberal "centrism" aka economic conservatism. 252
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 08/03/2025They are stupid, but it's not a misunderstanding. This is all very calculated, and most of the actual planning was done by people much smarter than the orange clown. 2151
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 06/03/2025That's Wasp, he's a villain from the old company Quality Comics that DC acquired. 110
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I'll never forget randomly stopping at a laser tag place while on vacation and getting absolutely obliterated by one particular guy. Turned out he was on the local SWAT team and loved nothing more than destroying tourists. 010
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 05/03/2025It's been less than 10 minutes you stupid troll. There is nothing real or genuine about you at all, every second I've spent talking to you has been a tragic waste of my precious life. Later, dipshit. 200
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 05/03/2025I haven't even had a chance to reply to your previous request for specifics and you're already putting words in my mouth 😂 you have to be a little more subtle with the trolling, dipshit. 100
Pit Wizard @pit-wizard.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Is the problem that the Democrats suck, or is it that I noticed and talked about it? Must be the pesky voters who are the problem, right? Couldn't be incumbent on the candidates to make themselves desirable to the electorate. Nah, we should all shut up and bow before the corporate Dems. 200
