i dunno, taking decades of tutorials, videos, artwork and free advice all made with loving care by individuals and hoovering all of that up to claim "this is mine now, I'm going to charge you for it and try to destroy all the origins of this" feels significantly more "radical" by comparison

"Our enemies all have a uniting north star"...then proceeds to name two wildly different north stars. But I suppose the significantly less-impressive sentence of, "Groups have goals" wasn't as splashy or "dIsRuPtIvE" 🙄

Someone responded to a Wall Street Journal breathlessly covering a robot that made beds pointing out that AI Robots are the wealthy's solution to the security guards taking over-- replace the people with robots. As if that's the only weak link in the paper chain of absurdity

A silver lining I've heard often is that because that highest office is closed off to him, he doesn't have to hedge and be vague and not commit to any position the way so many politicians with those ambitions do. He can just say what he means and not worry about how Texas will hear it.

The value of that lived experience + The Archival Quality of the internet I think has shifted things in a way politicians haven't realized yet. The kids that survived shootings may not have been tapped in enough to hear every excuse politicians made not to help; but they can still watch them now

Democrats are most like Republicans when it comes to how they treat their leftmost flank. "This is America (our party) love it or leave it" "Look at our big tent, how dare you not assimilate?!" "What do you mean structural barriers??; leftists are all welfare queens, siphoning off our resources"

I don't think he does If right, he spits in the face of progressives that were told to "Vote Blue No Matter Who or it's your fault Republicans win" and Dems are hypocrites If wrong, he's telling Voters that Democracy actually doesn't matter because they voted wrong and not for the Establishment

sptmain.bsky.social @sptmain.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

I understand, progressives and leftists form a significant organizing/door-knocking/volunteering bloc that was actively pushed out post-Sanders and actively disregarded during Harris. Pundits used to lose their minds that Sanders voters multiplied because they converted their friends

I think he disagrees because their constituents are people, and his are corporations (who are also technically people I guess?!)

His first 100 days in office made every Democrat wish they had their own Mamdani in their city. Contrasting that with the fact that every Democrat running for office has to say they're a "Fighter" because we haven't seen that in the party for decades kind of exposes who really has "work to do"

Imagine, as a congressperson, viewing "The voters who also form your base of support chose someone other than who you wanted for office" and viewing that as A War On You instead of a hand, writing prophecies on the wall.

I think that was part of his whiny little, "Mamdani has to heal the wound he caused to the Democrat Party" jab, as if the freshmen congresspeople should bow, scrape and apologize for being selected by the voters in a humiliation ritual. But Jeffries lacks the influence, skill or relevance of Pelosi

I feel like whenever a kind of solution begins, they have a stable of talent, then one or a couple talents starts outgrowing the place and there is tension to either cater or abuse the most profitable and the ensuing resolution either changes the company for the worse or destroys it and its talent

13 Conservative Democrats unite to drop the word "Democrat" from their party affiliations.

I wonder if that's because conceptually, it's easiest to generate a "fine" Action-adventure game. We know what those need, what they look like, and even if not everything lands, we know how to execute everything to be "fine". The other genres are not anywhere near as well defined or explored

sptmain.bsky.social @sptmain.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Well, from what I understand, a lot of the last few cycles were spent demonizing, ignoring, or talking down to a portion of the base that was was overrepresented among the door knockers, volunteers and organizers. At what point does it cease being "your" party and not theirs?

This could also be an animated show, where you get to learn about different people's (whether in-character or out of game) relationships and whether they built out to something more out of game or not, through flashbacks. And all we see in the present isn't spoken exposition, just how they are now.

Damn, imagine being so unaware that you are a man far, far past his apex of relevance, honored by a man a few years past his apex of relevance and a man vaguely near his global maximum of relevance. And at best only Louis CK is aware of where he is on that scale

Marge cashed out the second she could and is positioning herself to try to catch some power when Trump departs because he wasn't interested in giving her a hand up to climb anymore. There's no principle here, just another angle

He's so at home with comics who can't joke without saying slurs, who are themselves failed musicians. The year is 2026, he can just admit that he's more comfortable in the Republican Party because he has money now and he likes the level of inequality that got him there.

Possible. From the beginning of her career, she admitted that she was working with an inside-out strategy while Sanders' approach was more outside-in Embedding herself with the Establishment has been the source of most of the fiercest criticism against her, for little to no reward. I hope it works

He didn't commit to run for only 1 term, but he spoke about being a "transitional" president to pave the way for a younger generation of Democrats. What do you think he wanted people to believe when he said that?

Or, assuming the spineless complicity of their fellow Republican members, if *DEMOCRATS* did it instead.

You say "moving forward" but this has always been the text on the page. It hasn't been applied evenly, and a broad statement like it's not deeply slanted in specific ways when it comes to race, money and political affiliation feels too soft, with kid gloves on. January 6th happened

American Republicans yearn for a mythical cultural 50s that never existed. Democrats yearn for a mythical cultural 90s-2000s that never existed. They are both conservatives; just yearning for different time periods.

Given repeated losses of Democrat Centrists to Donald Trump each time, I suggest that it is time to actually either compromise with the left or get comfortable shrinking their party even further. Democrats compromise with the right all the time, it's not like this is foreign to them
