It's *other people's* jobs to die for the revolution. The activists are too valuable as future leaders of the new order to be engaging in actual dirty work.

It's died down a bit, but in case anyone is still flirting with the idea that Thomas Massie isn't a giant piece of shit despite his stance on Israel and the Epstein Files (and honestly, it's questionable his stances on those aren't still awful on some level)

Had a weird convo where someone got mad at me that I'm not letting an employee with a new baby work from home. Aside from the fact that the guy we're talking about isn't my employee... his job is port crane operator. It's...not something he can really do from home.

But the left are often called wreckers because so many of us just can't honestly engage with the reality of our political system and environment. You can honestly say that Dems are way better set up for the future now, but you can't honestly say that things would've been the same w/ Harris.

Like, at some point, if you believe that the only way forward is to tear things down, you have to be honest about it and about how awful it could be and actually show how hard you're going to work to help the people who will be fucked.

If you truly, *honestly* believe that Dems needed to be wiped out, you wouldn't spend the next two years trying to backfill justifications as to why their actions didn't actually lead to anything bad. Which, as I learned as a Green in 2017, is a *great way* for people to never listen to you again.

There were so many people who *needed* Donald the Dove or Trump II is not that bad, or Trump may run left of Harris on [x issue] to be true in order to duck responsibility they have for this shit. It's sheer cowardice because they can't stand up for their own convictions.

There's a difference between making fun someone for their appearance and making fun of someone for willingly getting Mar-A-Lago face. Only one of those things is a deliberate choice, and in this case, that choice was made in service of pleasing a psychopathic fascist.

The *craziest* person I've run into is a guy who's a self proclaimed Marxist Leninist, but also makes a living scalping Pokemon cards and when confronted, tries to claim that he's "sticking it" to the corporations.

So Jon Ossoff and AES are just committing dual murders on live TV tonight eh?

Not sure if Ossoff is debating Collins on TV or if Ossoff is committing ritualized murder.

One of the wildest things I went through volunteering at the hospital in high school is listening to little old ladies talk about how they or a friend back in the day lost a husband to a mysterious illness. ...and then having the older charge nurse tell me that the husband was prolly poisoned.

Ahh, the leftists who are left wing because they want strong working class unions, but also they want those unions to engage in the most xenophobic of rent-seeking behavior, and also want those unions to protect good (men) workers who rape their female colleagues, who had it coming for being uppity.

"No, this time it'll be different." Lol, okay. Sure bud. This is why [insert country here] century will *never* happen and we're just all waiting for the lib/left to reassert itself in the US. The other countries are also filled with stupid.

It's hilarious talking to some Bolso supporters in Brazil because they're all like "yes, we're going to work well with Trump and it's going to benefit us all" And it's like, when has corporate selloffs to the US from South America *ever* not resulted in them becoming the US's bitch?

I like how the Dodgers basically spent the '24-'25 off season trashing the Yankees on their defensive fundamentals and baserunning, and the Yankees' brass apparently just decided that the Dodgers were just being big meanies and not actually serious.

I don't just want that man out of power and in jail. I want him to suffer psychologically. I want him to feel the same misery and pain he's wrought on others. I want him to *watch* as his legacy is torn asunder. Then only when he has nothing left, I want to kick him when he's down and jail him.

I don't actually want Trump impeached. I want everything and everyone around him impeached. I want him to watch as every one of his sycophants are thrown in jail I want him to feel powerless and impotent as he spends the end of his admin counting down the days to his inevitable imprisonment.

CA residents agree that affordable housing is necessary. CA residents also agree that line must always go up regardless of economic conditions when it comes to their own home value. CA residents agree that 2 is infinitely more important than 1 if push comes to shove.

Also, more than 1 boomer retiree has agreed with me on M4A but went on to say "nobody should be doing that while illegals are still running around." Issues polling does not capture the importance of the issue. Hell, there are leftists who would rather euthanize the poor than give up burrito taxis.

000

Charlie Wu @sparkleapplepie.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Issues polling is deceptive because it looks like you're getting 100 people to answer 1 question but what you really have is 100 people answering 100 different questions. What encompasses medicare, who is "all", and what does "for" entail are sometimes as unique as fingerprints to each respondent.

100

Charlie Wu @sparkleapplepie.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Also issues polling is very surface level. People want AI development paused, but they still want to play with their slop generators. They want medicare for all, until they find out that also means brown/gay/trans people. They want to stop weapons to Israel, until a scary arab scares them on TV.

This is great because I think it's way too late to matter, but also now they get to deal with the fallout of the budget shortfall in 2028. Enjoy the infrastructure collapse acceleration Ohio!

One interesting quirk about Brazil is that people there basically pay over time for *virtually everything* I know people who have made payments on shirts that they've already thrown out. Which also makes for an interesting discussion every time we get a newbie banker lol

There's nothing more California Suburban NIMBY than the dipshits who buy a house right next to an elementary school, and then deliberately park their cars on the street in the most inconvenient way possible so that parents dropping off their kids can't park in front of their house.
