John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 22hThat message pops up when you’ve spamming the same message over and over and over again. It has nothing to do with Boise State, it has to do with your repeated copy/pasting. You have to stop posting for 24 hours. Every time you try, you reset the clock. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 23hFar left isn’t winning elections outside of DEEPLY blue areas, and even there they are underperforming. They’re not winning elections in the swing states/districts needed to win the House/Senate/White House. 010
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Exactly! So there was absolutely no reason a sane person would be at a Hawks game aside from corruption and bribery! Chessmate! 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I don’t know. Seems like you’re doing all you possibly can to preserve the system that’s shit on you by not voting for the better candidates. An amazing amount of self-delusion. You’re not gonna burn anything to the ground. You’re just gonna hand the keys to Republicans and make people suffer. 030
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Not only has no candidate stepped up to refute point #1 but because it’s now biting Trump his political opponents are reinforcing point #1. You heard 1-3 for 3 years from the right and now you’re hearing 1 from the left… it’s no wonder people believe 1. 000

John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 15/09/2026My worry would be that the black guy would think I was on my way to help the white guy and view me as a threat. Nah man. I’m gonna help hold him while you break his face. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Yeah. Bernie’s been in congress for like 35 years and has basically nothing to show for it. We’d have been in basically the same place if we elected a potted plant. Fetterman won as the progressive candidate. He, and others, show how badly progressives pick and vet your candidates. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Oh, well… if it won’t save you then screw future generations. Feel free to be a selfish prick I guess. Democrats will not only keep you alive they’ll advance your rights (although perhaps not at the speed you want). Republicans are trying to kill you. And you can’t tell the difference. Moronic. 011
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Yeah. It took Republicans 40 years of sustained effort to overturn Roe. If you want big things (establishing Roe, universal healthcare, etc…) it takes time and years of sustained effort. We got set back by a decade when we lost 2016. Don’t compound the error. 120
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Doesn’t sound like he stood for anything there. Nice little dodge. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Everyone that can should vote for AES. I’ve even donated. Pointing out he’s a weaker candidate who has taken a fairly safe race and made it a coin toss isn’t the same as encouraging people to vote against him. 221
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026He’s taken a solidly blue race and made it a nail-bitter. He’s not super great. You guys run unvetted and inexperience candidates who make mistakes during campaigns and occasionally completely flop. But your purity tests won’t allow for anyone with experience, vetting, or a record. 110
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026You champion shitty candidates like Bernie, Platner, Fetterman, or Al Sayed. When they win the primary I do my part because I’m not an idiot. But when your candidate loses the primary you tantrum and pout like a fucking 2 year old. Fucking morons. 3131
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The only reason I periodically have to eat shit is because you fucking morons forget that fascists are worse than a lukewarm ally. 1221
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Hey look! One of the dumbest people on the planet! Neat. 010
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I think progressives should understand who their allies are. If you let Republicans win you’re sabotaging your ENTIRE agenda for a generation. Even if you eventually pass laws, a Republican Supreme Court means no protections for trans people, no universal healthcare, no loan forgiveness, etc… 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Progressives really are some of the dumbest most self-sabotaging people on the planet. Even the Tea Party of “Freedom Caucus” wasn’t this dumb. A truly spectacular achievement. 1171
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 06/09/2026The law specifically grandfathered in old non-compliant plans. The insurance companies decided to cancel those less expensive plans, force people to new ones, and blame Obamacare. While this was something we probably should have predicted, it’s not the law doing it. Obama wasn’t lying about the law 051
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 01/09/2026As opposed to Trump who lies to everyone, including himself. WAY more egalitarian. 010

John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yeah, the fact that you don’t even recognize those shows how little you know about Bernie or 2016 or 2020. You lack the knowledge to even discuss this coherently. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Sure as hell not Bernie. Hems utterly useless. He passes no bills, he has no influence with other senators, his endorsed candidates can’t win outside of deeply blue areas. We’d have basically the same work done if Vermont had elected a plastic ficus tree instead of Bernie. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026His economic plan, for example, claimed it wouldn’t raise the deficit despite massive new spending because he promised a 6% annual GDP growth over 8 years without a break. His plans are every bit as delusional as “I will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it”. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yeah, Bernie lets his staff spread conspiracies while he plays nice. His campaign was toxic and fact free nothing 2016 and 2020. Coin flips, super delegates, candidates dropping out, Iowa’s software, there’s no conspiracy that Bernie won’t embrace. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026She won. He should have had zero people on any of the committees. They changed the rules because crazy people made up conspiracy theories about super delegates and it was easier to avoid future fights than convince nut jobs that they were crazy. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Those votes aren’t locked in. Just like voters in a poll aren’t locked in. But the media treats them that way. Every candidate has advantages and disadvantages. Bernie ran as an outsider, this means he’s unburdened by past disappointments or compromises but it also means he has fewer endorsements. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Bernie IS a malignant interloper. Like Trump he cries “rigged!” when he loses, lies about what he can and will accomplish when elected, is entirely selfish, lacks any real accomplishments, and leaves a legacy of enthralled supporters who believe conspiracies rather than truth. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Nope. Same exact threshold. She may have started with what amounts to a polling lead but those weren’t locked in votes. Nothing happened to Bernie. He got fewer votes and lost. That’s what’s supposed to happen. The rules were changed to avoid harmful arguments with conspiracy theorists. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 03/08/2026They said the same thing in 2008. The super delegates always support the person who gets the most votes. The story is spin from a campaign and clicks for the news, it’s not real. But take out super delegates and Hillary still won more pledged delegates. Supers had nothing to do with her win. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Gabbard didn’t expose anything except that Bernie supporters love a conspiracy theory as much as Trumpers. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026She won the majority of pledged delegates because she got more votes and won more states. She didn’t have some kind of lower threshold than Bernie. Hillary won over 2200 pledged delegates, Bernie won about 1840. Supers had nothing to do with her win. 200
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Take the 2016 super delegates out of the equation and Hillary wins as she got more votes and more pledged delegates. She didn’t need super delegates to win. Anyone trying to make super delegates a thing doesn’t have the first clue. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026See? You don’t know anything. Super delegates aren’t locked up and can change their vote. Hillary’s superdelegates flipped to Obama when he won the primary in 2008. Super delegates don’t make a difference EVER. 200
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026If you think superdelegates mattered then you don’t know “all about” them in 2016. No, Obama didn’t promise her anything for her endorsement. He adamantly wouldn’t do that. It was implied that SoS would be a possibility but couldn’t be a quid quo pro. Nothing about 2016 was even hinted at. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Who’s doing “fandom insanity”? Who is covering up anything? Hillary beat Bernie soundly in the primary. Hillary got beat in the general. The primary was fair, Bernie just lost. And then he did it again in 2020. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026You’re building a strategy to elect 1 person once. And you’re doing so at the expense of the long term political wins necessary to actually accomplish your goals. You’re harming your own ends. Your strategy is self-defeating. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026So your strategy to win is to promise a bunch of stuff you can’t deliver. And then during the midterms or re-election bid or for the next person when voters are disillusioned and think you’re a liar because you promised things you couldn’t deliver… then what? 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Bernie’s message is a far left one. If it can’t prevail during the primary when only the left votes, it can’t win the general. Hillary might not have been strong enough to win the general election but she was strong enough to stomp Bernie. That tells me Bernie would have lost the election as well 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Well you run those candidates who shun PAC money against those who don’t and we’ll see which strategy produces victories. Spoiler: we already know and it’s not yours. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Delusional. She wanted VP and was told no. There was no deal for 2016. The DNC didn’t push anyone. They don’t have the power to push anyone. This is nonsense. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Money is required to win. It’s been part of the Dem platform since the day after Citizens United to over turn it. But you can’t win without PAC money. Bernie takes PAC money, AOC takes PAC money. Any candidate who doesn’t isn’t viable. 000
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026More got the message from Hillary than Bernie. She beat him soundly. One Biden term. Republicans campaigned on overturning Roe for 50 years before it happened. Things take time. Part of the problem is Bernie promises instant gratification and that’s not possible. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Biden made the decision for himself. He’d just lost his son and didn’t feel like he could campaign in the way that would be necessary. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Bernie was ENTIRELY out for himself, otherwise he would have dropped out when it became clear he couldn’t win. He didn’t in both 2016 and 2020. Show me the progressive wins in swing states/districts and I’ll believe it can be done. But you can’t, because there aren’t any. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Yeah. I’m sure about that. Ah yes, AOC. 8 years in Congress and not a single bill passed. What a shining example of public service. And electing a progressive in one of the most deeply blue areas of the country? What an accomplishment for Bernie. 100
John Tuttle @tuttle.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Nonsense. Anyone could (and did) run in 2016 and 2020. And anyone could have run in 2024, but no one did. 050
