Yeah, like, I'm not saying Democrats don't have to do *anything*. But fundamentally since it's them or the Republicans, all they need to do is be better than Repubs. Which they already are by reasonable standards. So if we still choose Repubs, we need to start being honest about what that says.

I would bet there's 20 stories a day like this talking about critical systems most people have no clue exist, and how trump is dismantling them. And it goes under the radar because of the insane huge shit he does. And its going to be a painful, long process to fix it back.

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

Hey... until the "voting isnt going to save us" folks figure out what is going to save us, I say we vote in the meantime. It's still wild they cant seem to figure out how to do an organized national boycott.

when they ask you why you’re not friends with that one person anymore

I just had a person who seemingly wants to have a revolution demand that I start it for them, when it's not my idea? How odd? I don't think that's how revolutions work.

Oh primary season is starting, who y'all got in dem texas senate? www.texastribune.org/2026/01/15/e...

The left on bs: how can liberals think that the system is going to save us? We must destroy our systems! Also the left: Do nothing and apparently waiting on chuck shumer to lead the revolution.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Sometimes I feel like the left is very individual based... Which is ironic for supppsed collectiveists. They're very bad at working with each other. Instantly will subdivide over small issues and rarely seem to put the actual greater good above thieir ideas.

God I would be so despressed if I were a leftist. They're so angry at dems. Yet so resigned in zero ability/path to form their own effective party. The fact is, if dems are that bad, you can win races. And you can raise money. Maybe not enough to challenge every seat, but deep blue ones. 1/2

The nurses are pissed

The left: WE MUST MAKE ALL THESE CHANGES TO EVERY BIT OF THE SYSTEM. Also the left: We can't vote to do any of it. It must be done with pure magic and happen with zero effort, instantly. We will never ever take steps to get there if any work must be done over any amount of time.

Folks talk about a general strike and BS can't even stay off paramount+.

Me: What is this thing about alex horn old? He doesn't seem that old? @alexhorne.bsky.social Ah.. i misread. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Does the left really understand the political situation here? Trump is horrible all that, may not have elections obviously, but... if we do... There are some key points about the upcoming midterms and why they may be pretty critical to the left afterwards: 1/3

True. Also for context, 218 gop reps voted to fund ice, only 1 did not. Less than 1 percent. Less than half 1 percent.

Bluesky needs crisis teams of leftists to go to places where children are being kidnapped, people shot in the face, sexually assaulted and killed at black sites to calmly explain to their friends and relatives that both sides are the same and Kamala Harris would have done the exact same thing.

HOLY SHIT. Democrats now have a TWENTY-TWO POINT advantage on the general ballot. Dems had a 14-point advantage leading up to the 2018 election which netted us 41 seats in the House alone.

Wow, folks are freaking out over this winter storm coming up. I just got a text talking about an "ice appocalypse menu" at a local resatuant for takeout bake at home meals. Lol

100 percent detatched from reality. If i had money still in the market i would pull it out now, because this is all going nowhere good.

Tesla quietly cuts 1,700 jobs at Gigafactory Berlin despite denying it A new report from the German business newspaper Handelsblatt confirms that the automaker has been quietly downsizing the plant’s workforce significantly, based on figures reported by the workers’ council. /1

The left doesn't really care if the dems try or fail, they can mock dems either way. The critic who has nothing on the line. The left can push hard for exteme positions, which feel good during crazy times. And if dems do them and it fails "why did you do that? It would obviously fail!"

Lol www.mentalfloss.com/food/candy/k...

100 percent trump is letting the cat out of the bag. Any strategic advantage greenland has, iceland also has. They're making plans for next steps after greenland and trump got them flipped in his head. Coming soon.

Really wild on here. Folks run up to call me a facist for voting dem in comments. And I say "at least I vote". And then they get furious and say they vote and work as a volunteer for the dem party and on and on. So... why did they work for the "fascists?" This seems insane?

It is SURREAL to see people still defenidng choices to not vote against trump. After all we've seen. And nothing positive being gained from it. I feel like I'm visiting someone in the hosotial with 3rd degree burns all over and they're saying "I'd touch the hot stove again!"

I keep seeing this "democrats recently voted to fund ice" idea? Which seems to be a straight lie?

Incredible quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/19/a...

Anyone surprised? Feeding info to Putin? Today we read he’s invited Putin to serve on his peace team for Gaza? Translation Putin has the P tapes, Putin has the Epstein files!

While I agree 100 percent with what he said, and he says it well. Directly he doesn't seem to be saying anything that other than what mayors from the other cities are doing, which are the classic approaches. A path that many leftists have vigorously attacked and demand more from other mayors.

Did you ever think that the countries were going to just hand over that money to us. Only really stupid people would not have figured that out a long time ago.

Popularity, however measured or idealized, that wins few to no elections is about as useless as a horse with an algebra book. There are many ideas thay may be somewhat popular. But if it's not the issues many people are voting on, then it seems little more than background noise.

Imagine that

BREAKING: What can be done when you elect Democrats to run your state. Just in days Democrats have moved to End Immigration and custom cooperation with ice under Donald Trump, advanced new electoral maps, LGBTQ protection, abortion rights... And more.. This is what happens when you elect Democrats

Hilarious. The left screamed that no one should donate and is now worried thier candidates might not get money for the election. Lololol Maga famers and leftists aren't that different.

Someone told me that there was a way that dems can shut down ICE and hold ice accountable for crimes right now in congress. I asked them how, colorfully, and got a block? Dems shut down congress and trump still funded ice? This is 95 percent ironic, but 5 percent checking. Lol

The bone temple is amazing. Insane. Brutal. Complex. Boyle direction, fiennes, and an amazing cast. You will need to see the first 28 years later to get it though.
