fundamentally the actual argument going on is that some people see reams of receipts of julian's misogyny & gleeful malicious rejection of consent, and they simply don't see anything wrong with it. the disagreement is about whether women's real life (nonfictional) consent is an ethical factor at all

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

For every $1 in benefits fraud, agencies spend $3.72 trying to detect it, based on the unproven assumption that means-testing lowers the rate of fraud. But there's evidence to indicate that trusting people to self-report what they need would be cheaper overall, even factoring in fraud/abuse.

Utterly contemptible trash. Completely unable and unwilling to pretend to be an ally for even *seconds*. Why is anyone shocked that these people are happy to make sacrifices out of marginalized people? Not all of the deplorables are in the same basket

Drinking game: for every reply or quote that makes a joke about TWOW take a drink

They’re committed to never winning again.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

This is disqualifying. Period.

It’s not even white people broadly, it’s literally just WASPs who are this atomized and distant and weird!!!!

*Democrats run centrists three elections in a row* Centrists: We need to run a centrist. That's the solution

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Why would any Democrat listen to Nate Fucking Silver considering is far-right heel turn since 2016?

“Unemployed by January 2027” wish list

Every single freak who adopts this will lose bad by the way

i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer 1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else 2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

Some of these replies actually make me sad. Imagine being a fucking nobody who identifies personally so strongly with millionaires who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire that you get offended by this.

"No longer should we think about our political process as settling for the lesser of two evils. We can demand a greater good. And in doing so, we can make City Hall a place from which New Yorkers expect change, not failure."

So many things he does lay claim to extraordinary powers no president has ever used before. meanwhile, keeping 42 million people from starving during a shutdown — which presidents have done, he claims is impossible. In reality he just doesn’t feel any particular obligation to human life.

Does she remember she’s going to actually have to win a primary this time or what lmao

Congrats to these 6 people for securing a whopping 6 months of employment lmao

Does he think this is going to help him lol

It's going to be so amazing being alive in 2026 because the front page will say "BREAKING Mamdani Received Free Cheese Pizza From a Local Vendor, Calls to Resign Mount" and then on page 3 you'll see "Hegseth's Pentagon Rape Dungeon Raises Legal Questions."

People will bitch about how this will alienate men. Hmmm gee I wonder if keeping them around would alienate a different 50% of the population or something!!!!! I wonder if!!!

I want men who sexually harass, abuse, and assault ppl to be ostracized and excommunicated IMMEDIATELY AND FORCEFULLY from a united front. Stop making excuses for these men. They know what they’re doing

If the East Wing of the fucking White House turns out to be the breaking point I’m gonna [REDACTED]

TWO Nazi tattoos????

No no it’s shitty on purpose as part of his penance. Yeah he feels really bad about the Nazi tat so he punished himself by getting absolute dogshit permanently etched into his flesh. Senate please now?

Katy Perry Astronaut Moment

Yeah that’ll fix everything buddy

If I wanted to paint leftists as broadly in defense of Platner through a manic episode of quote posting my own skeet of a few screenshots I would strategically crop out the fact that the post has 44 likes total.

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

Remember that "smug internet communists" means "progressives" in smug internet shitlib-speak.

literal actual fascists: we must eradicate transgenderism libs: you're not a real anti-fascist if you take a hardline on protecting trans rights

I feel so owned by my political positions becoming mainstream and yours dying from irrelevance after losing the two easiest fucking elections of all time. Own me more please!

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

WHY do these useless fucking journalists never ask a single follow up. WHAT POINT MIKE?

Being a Giants fan is infinite pain

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

Did you know that the New York Times reporter who wrote the first fawning profile of Trump in 1976 also promoted the hoax about poisoned Halloween candy? Misinformation is contagious. The media helped build the Trump myth, and we're all suffering now. I wrote about it in my free newsletter.

Trump to China: obey my command or I will destroy the United States

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

No ones gonna watch this because despite all their posturing they know their “art” is unwatchable dogshit

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

“I’ve been saying braindead shit the whole time (still not confident about it though. Gonna keep my replies off about it.)”
