i can't take this anymore

this has been something i try to drive home with everybody who says "ICE is bad but it's not ethnic cleansing they're just overstepping in deporting illegals" the admin is very specifically trying to alter the legal status of people they don't like based on ethnicity

government agencies aren't supposed to be Posting, much less Posting Through It

internet discourse about Pandoran colonization must go crazy in the Avatar universe

if politics is just vibecession forever then maybe we gotta start cooking up some goofy policy ideas to fix it like what if we unironically subsidize specifically fast food combos

can we just do NGDP targeting and move on

which wars did Joe Biden start

they very obviously do

this entire discussion happened while i was at work

Anyway the problem with a permanent vibescession caused at least in part by social media posturing is that while it might screw Trump in the short term it really screws the politics of generosity and solidarity in the long term. Believing times are bad makes people more selfish.

there is literally not enough money in the country to pay everyone $100,000 a year in real terms people just be saying shit

finally someone figured it out

most new hires are not joining ICE or Border Patrol out of economic desperation please be real right now

did labor unions accomplish that or did boring ineffective shitlibs in Congress accomplish that

the threats facing trans healthcare access have basically nothing to do with providers discontinuing services of their own accord Republicans in government are making it illegal to treat trans people, no level of bargaining with health insurers can fix that

"zero pushback" except for a near unanimous party line vote lol

Democrats suck because they might lose elections and that endangers your healthcare that's why you should become a socialist and ??? healthcare

so allegedly according to some redditors that Lions fan that DK Metcalf swung on is a season ticket holder who's well known for doing a bit where he heckles players with their full government names gotta say i'm kinda doubting the n-word story at this point

he's going to make railguns uncool this is my personal 9/11

my girlfriend only has trans healthcare access because she lives in a state with Democratic governance but sure have fun with the revolution, comrade

the claim here is that "Democrats would be center-right in Europe," and it falls apart in the health care context if you consider abortion and gender-affirming care to be health care (which you obviously should)

i am praying to every god that may or may not exist that she tries to have this one pulled too please god make this into an international incident

"dems would be center right in uk/eu" staggers on, zombie like, immune to evidence the uk tories just proposed deporting 4-7% of the uk's population - self-partition- they are, in fact, to the right of adam schiff

and bingo was his name-o

the biggest problems facing Americans today are largely not in the realm of the labor market and people's continued obsession with "working class issues" is something i'd like to dispel

i'm sorry but i'm just not going to take it very seriously when basically every argument i have about how supposedly awful the modern economy is for the average American inevitably ends up with this level of innumeracy

only 29% report being "not satisfied with their pay" do people even read things anymore

that sucks for you but "most people are fine with their job" remains true

by this logic curing cancer and the war in Ukraine are labor issues lol

Mamdani's most popular policies have nothing to do with labor laws or labor relations

i'll make you the same offer i make to everyone: name and provide evidence of one political accomplishment you have personally contributed to and i will Venmo you $50

right now there are armed soldiers on my streets and it has literally nothing to do with worker's rights please tell me how stronger labor unions are going to protect trans kids lol

the human rights under threat right now have nothing to do with employment but internet socialists think they can just make everything into a labor issue by treating it as a synonym

this was the Biden administration's plan and look where it got us lol

so far not a single person has explained why i should put "worker's rights" at the top of my priority list

i can look outside of my window and see apartment construction that only recently became legal because of canvassing efforts i personally knocked on doors for

i forgot that i was chair of the DNC my bad y'all

the ACA and marriage equality both still exist

you lost even worse

what you consider "politics" is exclusively complaining about things on social media

there's this funny thing that people do where they respond to feelings of powerlessness by voluntarily giving up even more power if you're frustrated with Democrats being politically weak then becoming a communist is only going to make that problem worse lol

why would i react to frustration with political effectiveness by becoming even less politically effective

the stupidest motherfuckers out there have to be the tech bros who somehow thought these goons would do massive buildouts of renewable energy if they had paid even thirty seconds of attention to politics before 2024 this would have been blindingly obvious

social media bubbles fostering elite psychosis is probably going to be looked back on as the reason for a lot of This Stuff happened with academics and activists during peak woke and now it's happening to the richest man in history and the entire federal government

i have spent so much of my life pushing back on criticisms my young nihilistic peers make of Democrats and begging them to vote for Democrats and then these mfs go on TV and say "yeah the internet communists are right" fuck you

it is genuinely a fucking miracle that Trump is as stupid and narcissistic as he is

in the same vein as what i've said about how consequences need to extend to the private sector, we also need to not fall for the fall guys there will be plenty of people thrown under the bus as the wheels start to come off and we shouldn't be satisfied with the scalps they're willing to give us

the one thing that i don't think Bari Weiss (the fucking moron) recognizes is the fact that if there's one the press loves, it's about reporting on internal reporter drama
