the weird thing about "the big club" is that it's so obviously unidirectional and not just in keyfabe. they tried to get Pelosi killed and then celebrated it. leaked messages showed them conspiring to deliberately attempt to give COVID to democrats. what the fuck are democrats thinking

"socialists are so stupid they think everyone in the country is closet socialists" in fact socialists and communists may be the only two political movements in the US that are actually aware they AREN'T universally beloved.

remember when every day you'd log on and someone was lecturing you about how Warren was a SOCIALIST with INTEGRITY and the only possible reason you didn't like her was YOU HATE ALL WOMEN

three amigos together again in hell

and you may tell yourself this is not my mickity mouse and you may tell yourself this is not my looniful tunes

my favorite liberal posts are where they completely make something up to call a leftist Bad, they then list every leftist who has ever talked to them as proof THOSE leftist are Bad too

you ever wonder if there's going to be a book about how the most popular and beloved politicians among conservatives are the two who medically speaking did not have working brains

i feel like it's getting more and more common for candidates who see that they're about to lose to have destructive crashouts and try to sabotage their own party

the prevailing political narrative in this country on the right and center, and among liberals until very recently, is that Vance is a working class whisperer who is a leader of a revolt against "elites"

this week i got a notice that due to recent law changes in Michigan, to get unemployment you now have to submit proof of three job interviews per week instead of two per week. wow, thanks for addressing this urgent issue in the face of *waves hands*

it rules that there's a whole industry of deboers and greenwalds whose entire careers consist almost solely of sneering at the left, never the center or right, for not hating Our Institutions enough, and then liberals get to point at THEM as the left's representatives

it's actually maddening how hard it is to get people to understand that for all they think it's worth excusing scumbags because of their Accomplishments, we're losing all the (almost certainly much better) Accomplishments of their victims

much like Fetterman the lesson centrists will take from Platner is "if a candidate runs a populist campaign that voters like, that's bad"

yeah yeah there's the weasel word "definitely" but "20% of self-identified 'swing voters' outright say nothing would make them vote for a Democrat" is really confirming my priors about how "independent/swing" voter identification is just a scam!

motivate your base to turn out, demotivate the other guy's base if you're lucky, and any "swing voters" can only be gotten if you get lucky and they like your haircut or some offhand remark you made about postage stamps being not square enough resonates with them. that's all you can do

watch till the end youtu.be/WzICVSqfUpw?...

i am compelled to point out that the left's sin (and it WAS a sin, i don't want to downplay it) was saying "i can excuse the nazi tattoo if he supports taxing the rich" the center's sin was saying "i LIKE that he was in blackwater and says the r-word and has a nazi tattoo, because that's antiwoke"

RIP to the GOAT youtu.be/fsgWUq0fdKk?...

Republicans love to say "unlike Democrats we would never let a person as awful as Platner run on our party ticket" and then let hundreds of people that awful run on their party ticket while the Democrats kick Platner off

im also ready and i've put in exactly the same amount of work and probably have more support

Platner discourse is never going to end it's going to be 2016 discourse all over again with KHive telling each other made up spooky stories about it in 2040

"posts on the internet should be subject to the same rigor and legal process as criminal trials" -self described libertarians and "free speech absolutists"

i think he's much more obviously impeachable than impaired, but I also do think a lot of the chaos (not all, but a lot) is because he's too confused and tired to execute presidential duties

we might be facing a big problem in the near future in that i don't think it's societally feasible for elementary schools and grade schools to fail 75% of the class but the alternative is passing students who don't know a single thing

ok but the politician who actually makes it illegal for a robot to use the phone and aggressively prosecutes ""hidden fees"" will win 50 states

no they won't

whatever else your feelings about free speech and cops catching crooks by "brilliantly misleading them" at the very least there needs to start being mandatory legal consequences for this shit

i get that but the guy who coined smoothgroins is forever a shithead

hot take: many people who trusted Platner didn't commit a "sin" and have nothing to apologize for. they're just very very stupid and shouldn't ever comment on any issue ever again

these people also claimed to have had conversations with Terry Schiavo sooo

it's an ad hominem to dismiss my opinion just because it turned out i was wrong about this and every other thing i've ever opined on

phantom spark is a really neat little racing game, it's all time trials on relatively short tracks, no items or boosting or drifting or drafting, it's just finding the perfect racing line and preserving as much speed as you can on corners

people can change, for example a rapist with a nazi tattoo can change into a guy who lies about and justifies being a rapist and having a nazi tattoo

every white house staffer is currently in an all hands meeting brainstorming how they're going to steal the cup from Belgium and by cup I mean the physical trophy

the centrists and post-left guys were extremely explicit that they liked him MORE because of the nazi tattoo, which signaled to them that he would wage war on the wokes

im just saying a lot of problems could be solved if Dems had a "has never been a troop or a spook" litmus test

imagine if they were sitting on the "bad stuff" until he won the primary. like the nazi tattoo wasn't the "bad stuff"

looking at the replies and wondering why people who cannot and don't want to read are even on a text based social media site

they're going to feed TADC into an AI plagiarism grinder

people are laughing at this but they're going to rebrand "Windows" as Xbox. the rebrand will cost 0.8 trillion dollars. astronomical Xbox growth, much investor value. that's how being a CEO works

it owns that we're ruled by (1) the dumbest person and worst businessman in history (2) a guy who accidentally ended up with his sexual harassment website being an advertising empire (3) two guys who made illegal online banks and were lucky enough to be friends with the ebay guys

the remake of The Thing video game is so funny, in the original there's multiple points where characters are scripted to turn into Thing which made players mad because you could blood test them as clean right beforehand, so in the remake they all just get too scared and suicide lmao

American: How about that America 250 celebration Belgian: Oh so you're saying you don't care about the World Cup American: WAFFLES Belgian: ... Was that meant as a racial slur?

is my 5G having huge intermittent connection issues today because of Particulates 🤔

is she demanding court reform? oh she's not? so then not speaking too forthrightly is she

i think it's awesome the court made the university say that AND pay the money

you ever think that maybe 70% of punditry is false flags consisting of people deliberately making bad arguments to discredit the movement they're pretending to be a part of, but politicians and voters keep saying "you convinced me" so they keep trying stupider and stupider arguments

people love to sarcastically post that the media doesn't need to put "and this is bad" in every story about something Trump does but it genuinely is what he warrants. you should not be writing "neutral" stories about someone who's this much of a criminal corrupt nazi murderer rapist pedophile
