There are 2 other candidates and the dem primary is still happening: @andrealaflamme.bsky.social & @davidcostello.bsky.social

i am grudgingly accepting that even if i want US politics to be way less online, mamdani’s shtick of posting every time the government fills a pothole is probably rhe only constructive way to deal with this issue

it’s a sign Schumer is losing control of the party if he can’t find someone to beat a guy with a swastika tatoo. And that should be the final nail in coffin except there’ a dozen of those already

This Platner discourse is a reminder to you that the wisdom of the crowd (eg voters) can be wrong. If you’re argument starts “Platner is only a problem to BlueSky…” you’re contributing to the moral rot. Don’t expect #bluenomatterwho to save him.

It happened in 2001-2006 too. Same shit different day

It’s time to R E A D T H E O R Y

The way to defeat the vibecession is to give the people the deflation they crave

"The Pod Save guys boosted their favorite failson former bartender* from when they were bros in DC and the Maine labor movement grabbed onto him as the alternative to the cryptkeeper governor they hate" is a pretty plausible account of what happened here

they have no artists, they have no culture, and everything they think of as their heritage was created by people they would have hated were they their contemporaries

Soon, we won't have to worry about grocery prices. We won't be able to afford gas to drive to the grocery store.

I get the feeling both parties' presidential nominations will go to people we aren't even considering yet.

My message is that we need to stop all these coalition wreckers regardless of who they are. WelcomePAC wanting to eject the left, others telling people to not vote, it’s all unneeded.

I’m sure LA is great to live in since it has nearly perfect weather but “you can drive around and find diversity” is also what people say about Houston.

way too many socialists hate liberals more than fascists, and that’s a real fucking problem.

There is a subset of people on the left driven far more by grievance and personal animus than any actual ideology and these people would burn the city to the ground if it worsened the day of someone 1% less left of them

“Liberals hate socialists more than they hate fascists” has always been projection.

The Paxtons of the word know little about masculinity; tons about being childish assholes.

Britons have high expectations of a country that is far poorer than they think. But register for free to learn why the politics of small treats will not fade

At the end of the day, whoever pays the bills controls the curriculum

Fellas, I am once again asking: is it gay to be straight?

Silencing freedom of the press. Essential for all dictators.

Dems have been crushing Repubs for well over a year but the NYT keeps publishing new versions of the same “bad news for the Democrats” drivel. I can’t wait until November 4, when instead of “Democrats Win Control of US Senate” the headline will be “Senate Democrats Face Challenging Map in 2032”

This just goes back to the whole you don't convince these people to switch sides, you demoralize them into not voting

Yes, and: you should further grapple with the fact that they were defending a patriarchal household model in which women's labor was either domestic or subordinate and fighting against the displacement of mostly male artisans by mostly female factory workers, and were very conscious of both.

I'm more moved by the argument that the industrial revolution led to capital being a better path to prosperity than conquest, and human society is just lagging a few hundred years in processing that but the musket / infantryman / democrat pipeline helps, fuck warrior-aristocrats with a goedendag

And Abdul Carter’s response.

It is not a coincidence the guys my age I know who are married and have good jobs are all well adjusted and not misogynists.

If anyone is to blame in this completely contrived scenario it is the parents who let their sons listen to the news and play video games unsupervised instead of making them study so they could get into college.

I'd almost say they are unintentionally right in that their obsession with what they believe is masculine has turned them into the the whiniest little piss-babies imaginable.

Maybe they should have tried going out and getting educated and getting a high-paying job instead of mocking and memeing their mediocre asses all day in front of a motherfucking video game. And my son grew up during that time playing ball *and* video games and traveling and

Top five Twitter characters I forget exist until someone screenshots them here: - Bruenigs - Lee Fang - anti housing comedian - taibbi - jay kang

The whole thing that men leave out of the "women are going to college at higher rates" thing is it is because women are working to go to college more and men aren't. this isn't some form of favoring women. they are just doing the work.

> lots of women at college > men do not consider that going to college increases their odds of getting laid b/c of the ratio > bitch about it on the internet instead skill issue

This is greater in sheer idiocy than a certain "Three-Day Military Special Operation", and than Trump's plan to instantly knock over Iran and declare victory with no negative consequences whatsoever.

On a related note, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was one of the most delusional military actions of my entire lifetime, in addition to being a gruesome mass atrocity. Possibly the most delusional. Sinwar literally thought he'd instantly destroy Israel by overrunning and slaughtering a few small towns.

Even so, it is weird that academics don't seem to support a party that is maniacally devoted to the elimination of their profession. We should get to the bottom of it.

This is why you’re seeing liberals radicalize, demanding the destruction of the GOP, and the complicit media doesn’t get it. the professional-managerial class is coming for all of them. We the elites must assert our majority and supremacy.

“And that’s why both sides need to get rancor out of our politics!” (H/t Bruni ‘n #Bretbug , in today’s @nytopinion.nytimes.com )

Honestly, this is good because it removes any plausible deniability about the type of people Trump put in charge of his domestic paramilitary operations

I can’t do American Starmerism but a bit less transphobic. We gotta make sure these people lose every single primary to people with an actual will to power.

I was gone for a few days, how did we go from chart scold to chart pervert? Is this implying people are fucking the charts?

we need to stop listening to—& aggressively discredit—those who thought hurting minorities was a smart strategy my latest audio essay (with transcript) www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/starmer-apea...

This is how Trump’s racist reactionary policies are going to be pocketed by people who don’t really oppose them outside of the crude nature of its implementation.

they have more envy than Venus.

for sure, and another huge problem with this type of analysis is that it assumes that *faculty* are moving to the left, instead of politicians changing their policies. what exactly are faculty supposed to do when the GOP runs on platforms that aim to shut down/repress universities?

It's interesting that we don't study the political diversity of police forces or car dealerships.

"Project 2025 did not 'tackle hot issues' that had electoral salience. It did not attempt to offer a vision for voters at all. It was a purely elite project, and its goal was to provide the blueprints for permanently transforming the political economy of the country."
