Very cool and not at all suspicious how insane bills (like this 1 *trillion* dollar “defense” budget) always seems to find just enough Dems to cross the aisle to have it get passed.

Evers’ bizarre endorsement of Crowley when he had already dropped out is an indictment on his legacy and proof positive of their willingness to try to torpedo rising leftist politics. As they tried with Mamdani, so will they with Hong.

Just had a DNC defender say to me “you’re acting as if the Dems didn’t pick up any Republican votes” when I criticized the catastrophic failure of the Dems strategy to pivot right in 2024 during the campaign

Cool how centrist Dems who say we have to moderate and “meet people where they are” (IE not lead or make a case for something that will shift political opinions to the left) on “economic/class issues” that are actually popular, suddenly find a leading voice on foreign militarism which is unpopular.

At this point if you’re a Dem rep and you are not running on the *promise* of pushing for legal punishment across the board for Trump admin officials and agents- promising *not* to do what Obama did in the wake of the Iraq war and *not* to do what Ford did after Nixon- you don’t not have the sauce.

Also, the objectively correct response to all of the right wing meltdown “you forgot 9/11” “omg communism” etc online right now is aggressive mockery. Reclaim the enjoyment of righteous contempt for fascists.

We should not forget that Cuomo’s presence in the race at all was, from the beginning, the Democrat establishment’s attempt to torpedo Mamdani. His victory actually helps them more than they’ll ever admit. But we should remember their duplicitousness.

All you really need to know about how political/theoretically sophisticated Peter Thiel is- he sincerely describes Obama’s administration/policy as “low tax socialism.” These people aren’t dark genius anti-heroes. They’re high school accelerationists with billions of dollars and influence.

I’ve heard Mamdani give versions of this line before but it’s worth repeating that his winning strategy was talking to actual human beings who might vote for him, versus some mythical voter democrats are trying to swing from the right who does not exist.

Dem power brokers/strategists: we’re bleeding young voters, this is a problem we need to figure out! *raises 17 quintillion dollars of donor money to try and torpedo the campaign of an energetic young popular candidate for mayor in favor of a septuagenarian former gov who resigned in disgrace*

In case you are waiting for maga folks to “realize” the errors of their ways after Trump finally crosses some “line.” You are largely waiting in vain.

Trump signing a “new” Iran nuclear deal that will generally just be a reprint of the Obama deal, just with Trump’s name on it, will be unreservedly very funny.

Everytime a Twitter fascist in 2025 posts that same land mass election map instead of a population based one and asks how it’s possible the government is so consistent split close to 50/50, I move one notch farther along being openly pro Chinese internet firewall and Soviet style censors.

Fetishistic disavowal will go pretty far until something really painfully and directly effects them. But even in those cases we are in totally unchartered social-psyche territory. Look how many people you see online directly and painfully affected who, nonetheless, don’t change or deflect blame.
