VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 2hTreating voters like naughty schoolchildren that must be disciplined into sacrificing for the greater good is a hell of an electoral strategy. I wonder how that's worked out over the past decade? Record unfavorables you say? ... All three branches lost you say?... To SHREDS you say? Goodness me. 0100

VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 12/10/2026You know that creepy term "monopoly on violence" to describe legal use of force? The underlying ethics are the same as always: Monopoly on sex reserved for the "pure", the "worthy", and above all the male. They hate not being in control of sex and the bodies of others, especially "lessers". 000

VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026On the one hand you don't want it to be a fringe protest group, on the other you want it to be true to its environmental roots. As a fringe protest group. Environmentalism is not a political platform by itself. It's one pillar in a series of pillars that holds up a platform. 020
VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The perception of media really is fascinating Liberals view it as an institution, and therefore sacred and locked in to a social contract. They'll cry foul when it doesn't live up to its "obligations" as the Fourth Estate but won't do anything about it. To the right, media is just another tool. 060

VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This is a time, like many others, when the chewing gum and duct tape holding together the Democratic big tent need to be replaced. The contradictions inherent in its coalition are unraveling. Feedback is not a threat to be suppressed. It is essential to pulling back from the cliff's edge. 091
VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The truth is Trump is the result of over 50 years of right-wing grievance media being funded by the billions, institutions failing to live up to the faith placed in them, and the opposition taking the bait and playing defense at a time when no one thinks we're moving in the right direction. 1111
VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The ones who aren't still believe that the system works, and if only Trump was gone everything would go back to normal. He's an anomaly that came out of nowhere because none of the context leading to him can be acknowledged. In that perspective, blaming the messenger for bad news makes sense. 1110
VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Trump is an unfathomable evil to liberals because until he came along, all the same evil shit was still happening BUT liberals didn't have to see it or hear about it. Trump ripped the mask off and showed how the national hotdog is made. Some people are learning from that, some aren't. 1141

VonDonDolo @vondondolo.bsky.social · 23/09/2026One-issue voters are the gold standard of politics.
