The Enemy Gets A Vote

“Don’t like Donald Trump’s policies? Wait 10 minutes, they’ll change 🤣🤣🤣”

Not to get too Zillennial on here but I have not yet been able to figure out from context what “Peak Oil” is.

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

What’s a king to a god (public transit rider)

Better believe it, United States Senator Ron Wyden.

Tired: inanimate objects as cat names Wired: human names as cat names Inspired: human nicknames as cat names

Shout this from the rooftops.

Does the progressive mainline lack vibrancy? Okay, so be it— let that be one more separation between us and the gangrenous tissue of American conservative Christianity, rotted to bone by decadence, fear, and insularity.

Merovingians said #onhere that Platner is the test case for the Dem Tea Party; now Matt Y says that he’s a sign the Dem Party has gotten less censoriously woke. Maybe one of his assets— much like Fetterman, and for that matter Trump— is that you can project whatever future you want onto him.

Hahaha Matt Y polarized himself into supporting the dumbest online lefty to ever run for office

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

Seems like a smart move for climate people is to organize these folks and stop with the, "AI is good, actually," takes.

This is a man who kneels to pray, brags to his God about how many people he killed today, and thinks he gets a spiritual fist bump and a guttural “hell yeah, brother” from the divine.

We simply cannot allow these fucking morons to act like they're the ones who truly love this country. They don't take matters of life and deaths seriously. They aren't patriots--they're the most selfish people on the planet.

This took me out unexpectedly while I was scrolling, much like what happened to Dan Crenshaw

[gesturing vaguely] give me two hundred dollars

big, strong admirals, with tears in their eyes, they come to me and say, “mister president, what in the fuck are you talking about?”

It's not that I had fond feelings about Neera Tanden before but I think her retweeting Nick Fuentes is pretty good evidence that twitter is a gamma radiation field for your brain

The right memed themselves into antisemitism on X (after doing it on 4chan) bc it was the most transgressive, vice-signaling edgy thing available; the left memed themselves into on here bc they couldn’t (or didn’t bother to) parse the overlap b/w signifiers of Jewishness and signifiers of Israel.

It’s time for Europe to recognize that Democrats are their friends who want them to prosper and Republicans are their enemies who want them to suffer and act accordingly tbqh.

I have recently started relaxing to the point of giving my personal opinion of Platner and Mills on here but as a general rule I do not comment on Maine politics because the lesson I took from 2020 was that Maine Politics Do Not Want To Be Commented On.

This is maybe my #1 fear with Platner.

The horror of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza has enabled me to convince many of my Boomer Jewish relatives to be more critical of Israel, and not to reflexively assume pro-Palestine activism is antisemitic. If Platner becomes the leading anti-Israel voice in the Senate, that work disappears overnight.

Support my new platform plank devoted to lifting up the working class: total immigration amnesty.

It’s such a low stakes thing in the grand scheme but the question I am absolutely stuck for an answer on right now is this: what should I say to my Iranian intern at work tomorrow?

The Democratic Party is already a party of working people. You know, baristas, government middle managers, adjunct professors, software engineers, nurses... We have got to get over the stereotype of what "working people" means, because it hasn't meant "white guy in hard hat" for decades now.

I agree with this kinda, but also the fact that the Democrats elected these specific men their leaders (and there has never been any serious sign of a mutiny) is a great demonstration of why I call myself a “progressive” instead of proudly claiming my formal party ID.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Most incredible part of this is saying “it’s a social media thing” dismissively. Oh that issue is important on social media? The most society-shaping innovation of the last 30 years? The place you go to look at other people’s opinions until it drives you crazy? That social media?

Trump's Motivations Are Unknowable. Could This Be His Moment? By Some Dipshit

[weakly] this was flatly unconstitutional and a congress with any investment in the constitution would remove the president from office tomorrow

yeah

“if you won’t let us use your product to spy on Americans and kill without supervision we will single-handedly destroy your business by fiat” is the single most authoritarian anti-business action I can ever remember any administration taking

I think these foreign policy views are normal and good

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Dudes rock

“There go my people. I must find out where they are going, so I can lead them.”

Oof, yeah this seems like it could be a big one

Fascism leads, as always, to annihilation.

Hate it when my biggest project gets delayed because the woman I contracted to do the plumbing gets elected to Parliament.

If this isn’t the first target for VIGOROUS antitrust action by President AOC I don’t know what is.

This is prob the most perceptive take I’ve seen on Platner today

Thanks be to God who called me to Pennsylvania and saved my soul from having to make a decision in the Maine Senate Democratic Primary election.

This is what actually happens when the rule of law breaks down, funnily enough

we have to build more housing to get these people out of red states

lots of evidence of the influence of anti-system bias on voter psychology in this poll (easier to detect in primaries where party polarization is not a factor. more: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/meet-ameri...)
