"This 88 year old woman is too weak and frail to be in power and also is too strong and powerful for anyone else to possibly defeat." Like, IDK man, get good? If you can't defeat the weak institutional power of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY then what happens in the general?

Shakespeare talks about this.

I love you Dr. Zaius!

based on some replies further down I'm starting to wonder if an issue with a certain brand of Leftist Poaster isn't that Democrats (and yet still only Democrats) have agency, it's the fact that they exercise it

Man am I glad I decided to buy some extra RAM when I saw prices dip a couple years ago. I think I'm going to be "stuck" with 64GB for the foreseeable future.

In general a lot of this is just the fact that a ton of political hobbyists dont actually have a theory of politics that allows for the existence & agency of voters. "They keep running old ppl" comes from the same place as "the DNC wants X candidate." My brother, *voters* keep making those choices!

If I may cross the discourse streams, I feel like the gerontocracy talk is another case where a small number of folks realize they don't have the numbers to win democratically & have committed themselves to being noxious as possible in the hope they can force the majority to accede to their demands.

White progressives are still going to pretend this guy has fight in him even tho he cowers at literally the bare minimum questioning by a queer outlet (reminder: Janet Mills told Trump to go fuck himself and she’ll see him in court when he came after trans Mainers - and she won - that’s fight).

You know, I'm starting to believe that the mods don't even CARE about my spilled juice.

The problem with Newsom isn’t so much that he’s a sincere transphobe as it’s questionable if he’s a sincere anything.

Nothing ever happens bros we are so back!

Shit.

The basic problem here is that the kind of edgelord behavior that became popular on the left starting around 2015 is indistinguishable from the behavior of Gamergate, so if you embraced that milieu of leftism someone's eventually gonna point out the similarities.

The point ladies and gentlemen, is that cringe, for lack of a better word, is good. Cringe is right. Cringe works.

I don't know why, but I'm extremely disturbed by the human hands the minifigs get in some of these shots.

How much of US’s Iran plan requires that the other side not read the news? Seems like…more than would be ideal.

Sir, Shatner has gone woke!

Whose making us use paper straws now bitches?

I remember in 2016 Deadspin having a "who will you vote for?" and so many of the writers were offering tortured, too-cool explanations for why I guess they'll vote for Clinton. Jezebel ran the same question and every writer had a one-word answer. It was a very cutting rebuke about the stakes.

"Antisemitic violence is a false flag" is the Buy Now Pay Later of Holocaust denial send skeet

Roe was doomed by electing Trump, not because young women in the aughts were distracted by "Cover Lies."

Is this a Mass Effect reference?

at long last we have created the "fighting jack reacher" scenario from the critically acclaimed series, "don't fight jack reacher"

If you think the problem right now is "turbolibs," you need to stop performing cool and touch some damn grass

This is an extremely good thread.

@universalhub.com reports of ICE at the Hernandez school in JP this morning confirmed by LUCE

i just find it hard to look at the last twenty years and believe that bullying is good, effective political praxis. sorry

I want Platner to draw a fucking clock.

Bullshit Jobs was to sexism what The Population Bomb was to racism.

You know what other country used male pronouns?

The way in which the US media live reports partial election counts in breathless fashion really is bananas, and the way it’s covered is regularly actively detrimental to understanding the result

The thing is "we need to harass turbolibs off the Internet" is EXACTLY what gamergate's objectives were. Not even a word changed.

We should consider what it would do to them to have Orban lose. The guy's been the poster-boy for how the whole fascist international project is supposed to succeed & if the system breaks down there it can break down anywhere. I would not be surprised if it makes Miller extra jumpy & mistake prone.

This guy doesn’t realize it but this is a “masturbating and smoking crack on public transit is a positive good because it scares off the normies (not me, a cool and gritty person)” take.

"There's no concrete friction to these viewpoints so we need a return to toxicity" is basically just an unexamined intellectual lightweightness of your specific ideology, and a desire to pantomime what other intellectual lightweights have done when they feel their viewpoints are losing.

"You should be hunted for sport for your Cringe Crimes" A LITTLE LATER "Hang on, I only meant we all need to compete in the marketplace of ideas, where we 'hunt' for the truth"

Ironically, the fact that you’re getting lit up for this confidently stupid opinion seems to be evidence against your claim.

Of all the wrong ideas that are taken as articles of faith here, “Gavin Newsom is incredibly popular among liberals” is near the top of the list.” Newsom doesn’t have a base of support outside of the consultant and article-writing classes.

This is genuinely disappointing.

The Dirtbags entered this site under the rather childish delusion that they were going to post pigpoopballs at everybody else and nobody was going to meme them back.

I too would like the exact level of toxicity which scares off everyone I don’t like without anyone ever being mean to me and my friends. Unfortunately, we live in a society so sometimes people are mean back when I’m mean to them.

"I'm against harassment, unless I agree with it" thank you for being so brave, Chris

"it's bad for normal people with normal political opinions to be able to express them without harassment"

Started/going

I have nearly 30 moots with this trash ass bigot. Wtaf?

Also like fetterman he has a history of racism that people just pretend doesn't exist
