I think a lot of people are falling for the same trap they did in 2020 where there was wide spread public support for "not that" just because the public does not like whats going on right now, doesn't mean they have deeply held and consistent views

one thing I find annoying is how many people post about politics all day long but have a very shallow knowledge base, they don't know more than a handful of members of Congress, they don't know who anyone is, what their records are, who the in the trenches real ones are, bad.

hm local guy I know harassed an immigrant crew of roofers and bullied/blackmailed them into doing free labor wants to set up an "mutual aid" and ICE watching signal group for the neighborhood, I see you white devil.

a lot of people are dunking on this, rightly, but everyone seems to be ignoring the gutter racist antisemitism

there are certain politicians people find attractive and its blindingly obvious that colors everything people say and think about them

also, if that was the mind set of those young progressives, they were also dumb. I mean what do you say to people who claim trans rights were very important to them, but didn't see stopping Trump as the singularly most important thing in the world in 2024? like what is there to say?

for the record, you can be trans, and also wrong on-line and its not "bullying trans people" to say someone who is trans is wrong about something that has nothing to do with transness, particularly when the fact the person is trans was not mentioned before it was used as an excuse this way.

I'm just gonna say what I gotta say, Will Stancil is really good at getting attention on the internet, its really a skill but I don't think he's good at sharing, no spreading that attention to others, I don't think he does it intentionally just maybe the nature of the internet it becomes about him

listen if you're trying to fight Rosa DeLauro from the left you are not a serious person.

Donald Trump’s ego is so bruised from when I stood up to him in the White House last year and beat him in court that he’s refusing to meet with us. Let me be clear — he won’t be able to avoid accountability when I confront him in the Senate next year. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

you know dudes with questionable facial hair keep posting this moody and dramatic shit, but you know what I don't see? I don't see a bunch of anarchists, leftists, socialists out in the streets doing Revolution I see a bunch of lib moms in the streets and Dems in government fighting back.

you see two character traits of Trump clashing, he's a cowardly rodent who skitters away when he senses blame headed his way, thus the deleting it and blaming an intern but he's also a petulant toddler who hates being made to say sorry or admit anything he did was wrong

there's also a pop wisdom idea that Democrats have been moving to the right since.... I've heard different years, but 1968, 1972, 1980, 1988 etc which is also nonsense, while Carter and Clinton were to the right of LBJ, Obama was to Bill's left (and Hill's right) and Biden was full LBJ/FDR

Bill Clinton: "fight me!" any ways when can we expect Epstein's best friend Trump testify? oh? never? huh

"Clintonazi" is a genuinely new one to me, which is rare, when you worked for Hillary you really think you learned it all, but always new lows

I'd also like to add, with abortion and I'm an American so it's mostly from that POV, the American Conference of Catholic Bishops have been pretty gung-ho about fighting Democrats while Rome has pumped the breaks in this case the Pope clearly wants this fight as do the American Bishops.

one day we're gonna have to talk about the damage the Taken movies did to American's perception of reality

one of the great under covered stories of the Trump 2 Administration is that Trump and the Catholic Church are as openly at war with each other as I've seen the Church be over and issue that wasn't abortion in my lifetime, its reached abortion levels

I think a lot depends what you define as "woke 1" because like in my teen years, Hilary Duff did an add telling teens not say "thats so gay" as an insult, that was 2008, was that "woke 1"? idk I think on gay acceptance the shift started in 2006 and reached escape velocity in 2012 if not 2010

also good luck if you're not Christian, non-Hassidic Judaism may as well be found on the dark side of the moon as far as the national media is concerned and Haredi only get brought up in picture form to imply they're the Jewish Amish

Fuck Donald Trump.

it is interesting the difference between the ape video and the reaction to the sombrero posts, in the latter the gutter racism became a "ha ha funny" meme for Republicans they all gleefully repeated this time Republicans freaked out and demanded it was pulled, why?

it is "funny" how the most well known gay politician in America is happily married with two small children (boy and girl) while everyone in the Trump Admin is having weird affairs and we all awkwardly act like Trump isn't sleeping with Laura Loomer.

1. those lying fuckers, Trump posted it and he posted it because he thinks calling black people monkeys is funny 2. every coms staffer working for this admin is a Neo-Nazi who spends all day making racist memes to be posted on government social media.

no, no he could not.

DNC conspiracy posting? thats a blocking, being crazy about Mayor Pete? thats a blocking, saying Biden had dementia? thats a blocking, accusing Harris of war crimes and genocide? thats a blocking, saying AIPAC rules the world? thats a blocking

yes but will you be voting for Democrats in November? in 2028? so much of the last 10 years has been taken up with "I know he's bad, BUT!"

any ways are we setting up a count down clock for when Trump says the n word in public?

1. the DNC can't kick anyone out of a primary 2. Joe Biden announced he was running April 25, 2019 3. Bernie is the only person to run in 2020 to live and work in Israel

oh also today the President of the United States posted a video with our first black President and First Lady as monkeys so if the very mention of the first black Vice-President causes you to have a screaming melt down, maybe just maybe look into that, fix your shit.

lots of people rage posting about Democrats in my mentions at 3-4am eastern time, now maybe west coast anarchists stay up late, but...

one fun thing about now is dealing with people who talk like they're having a mental break and having to act like its normal politics not totally unhinged

the fairly anodyne observation that Harris has lead every poll taken on this subject since the election is very triggering for some people 🤷‍♂️

I guess criticizing a sitting US Senator and twice candidate for President is "punching down" how interesting, I'm glad to learn I'm more powerful than Bernie

I know the Catholic Church hasn't changed its views on gay rights, trans rights or abortion, but I'm more than happy to march with priests and nuns for immigrate rights

we've seen a lot that the progressive/leftists have 25-30% of Democratic primary votes and they don't seek to expand past that but hope to win a crowded primary by splitting the norm 60+% of the vote up between 5-10 candidates its why they're endlessly upset by people dropping out in 2020

Fundamentally stupid move since Mejia is much worse

but of course we mean that very special kind of democracy, people's democracy rather than that sneaky bourgeois democracy.....

oh man.... to have a government that does little every day things to make your life better.... *sigh* a boy can dream.

I'm agnostic when it comes to Democratic 2028 Primary stuff we have to get through 2026 first and anything else is distraction past that we have no idea what the world will look like by 2028 all that said I do think Democratic voters were pumped for Harris and want a do over

I was reflecting on 2016 and how often I turned up for work at Hillary For America wondering if like that was the day we all got murdered, and knowing that stopping Trump was more important than my life and hey maybe if we got shot it'd help us win the election. what were you doing that year?

"well punk, do you feel lucky? do ya?"

big brain thought Empathy, supporting people who've had/are having a hard time, matters to a lot of people and sometimes over academic language can feel like sterilizing and even punishing the human instincts and feelings we have meaning well and doing good matter more than the right words

"vote for me, I'll tell you up front I'll suck" also pro-tip most awful Congresspeople get re-elected over and over because in fact they are good at something, constituency services. A thing if I remember right Kat didn't know existed.

you really can't say there was a time Trump tricked you and then he went racist because he started his campaign for President, literally the speech that started it saying Mexicans are rapists and before that he got into politics saying Obama couldn't possibly be an American because he's black

to be Trump never really talked about "universal healthcare" he just said Obamacare sucked and he'd replace it with "something" (literally) "much better" that "I think everyone will be really happy with" which is nothing, its just "repeal Obamacare" thats the policy and then hand wave

you cannot imagine what it was like to be fighting for her on the ground in real time, how often people would say "oh she's got this" which again being out there, knocking, organizing vols to knock etc, it did not feel that way and even though I believed she'd win, why fucking risk it?!

in the vein of a unified theory of PedoCon, how do you think the total break down of US Attorney system and the turning of its remaining limited resources solely to Trump's political hang ups is effecting efforts to detect, stop, and prosecute child abuse?
