You fucking won and now you don’t even care, wtf does any of this even mean to you anyway? And for the record, they probably would have treated Abdul much better during the primary if he just didn’t embrace Hasan Piker, something he now clearly understands was a ridiculous mistake.

How did you think a competitive primary as an outsider was going to go? All these people did for a year was say how badly they wanted to primary out the Dems and rub the loss in their noses, and now they’re crying because the Dems didn’t just lay down and let their guy win. Pissy little children.

How have the Democrats treated Abdul El-Sayed, exactly? Every single Democrat of significance has endorsed and campaigned with him, for God’s sake Obama is campaigning for him next Saturday! Are you talking about the primary? “Vote Blue No Matter Who” doesn’t apply in a primary…everyone is blue.

I’m sorry the primaries weren’t as socialist as you hoped, but this isn’t about trans people. You asked them to put down their fight to stand for Palestine in 2024 and you’ll ask them to do it again in 2028 because, idk, the Democrat won’t promise a moratorium on data centers or whatever. Spare us.

Republicans are the problem. Republicans are the source of all bad policy. Every major issue this country suffers from is either caused by, exacerbated by, or ignored by Republican policy. Shifting the focus to Democrats helps Republicans convince people they aren’t the problem. They are.

“I’m going to turn a historically significant abuse of power by the Republican President and his cabinet into a conversation about how Democrats are racist, and I’m going to do it by imagining a scenario that confirms my priors. I am helpful, I am someone who is helping the situation!”

If you spend time in your day posting like this, never ask that anyone take your opinion on anything seriously. You have a child’s understanding of the world. You live in a fantasy land you and your friends are hallucinating together. You have chosen to be stupid and are therefore unimportant.

“The Trump DOJ wants to strip a sitting congressperson of her citizenship and deport her. Here is why that’s the Democrats problem.” These people cannot shit themselves into absolute irrelevance fast enough my GOD.
Stupid tankie account making the Ilhan Omar political “investigation” into an attack at Dems for being racist, for some reason

People no longer look for news that informs them. They look for news that confirms and validates their emotional reality. This is true here, but also when people report on - for example - what the median voter believes. Or the Israel/Palestine conflict. Or climate. Or economics. Or any issue.

Also it explicitly says in the article that one of the items on the agenda is prosecuting Republican corruption. Not beating the “Only reads the headline” allegations, I’m afraid.

The irony of them doing this while attacking liberals for not being anti-death penalty is too much. I think if Jeffries called for the execution of Trump, these people’s brains would melt down trying to decide if it was Blue MAGA or Based, like a robot trying to find the square root of pi.

You can do it as leftistly as you want, you and Palmer Luckey both agree that acts of violence as spectacle are useful to reinforce social order. I think it makes both of you dangers to peaceful Democratic society.

I think this is a pretty important point from @hollybfletcher.bsky.social that’s often overlooked or waived away by communists or the communist-curious. Communism doesn’t erase (and never has erased) inequality. hollyberkleyfletcher.substack.com/p/the-time-i...
Capitalism creates inequality. Absolutely. But so does communism, it's just based on proximity to power rather than economic activity. And so does nature. Would that all of us be as beautiful as Gisele Bunchen, as smart as Pete Buttigieg, as athletic as Saquon Barkley, as funny as Tina Fey, as artistic as Monet, and as musical as Mozart. Would that all of us have good mental and physical health and loving families. Life is unfair as hell.

Basic equality is still a good goal for society. We should strive for systems that protect the basic welfare of weak, allow the most number of people to pursue their dreams with the talents they have, incentivize generosity, punish the cheaters and bullies, and tax the most fortunate more. We should want the basic dignity of people to be equally affirmed.

Because it's right, but also, it is to all our benefit. It turns out—when more of us thrive, we all thrive more. A market-based system is not a zero-sum game. There is not a finite amount of wealth that must be fought over. But to have a robust safety net, you have to have money to fund it. And to have money, you have to generate wealth to begin with. You have to bake as big a pie as possible, then you can think about how to distribute it.

And probably more to the point MAGA as a movement is virulently anti-LGBTQ+ and yet their leader frequently expresses admiration for big, strong athletic men and their thighs and asses.

It wouldn’t be weird if: A.) The media actually spoke about this in frank terms instead of just pretending he never says these things. B.) His party wasn’t actively running a Senate campaign in Texas where they’re accusing their opponent of being gay and therefore unfit to hold office.

The leftist’s situational opposition to violence is laughable. Opposed to the death penalty when they can throw it back at liberalism as an attack, but posts guillotine gifs when a billionaire says something tasteless. Spare us this charade, please.

I know folks hate this, but candidates should all say whatever they think helps them now. When impeachment (likely) comes, Brown and others will have no trouble saying that they didn't want impeachment, but give [whatever] now there's no choice. (And of course Senators don't impeach, anyway).
