Just had a DNC defender say to me “you’re acting as if the Dems didn’t pick up any Republican votes” when I criticized the catastrophic failure of the Dems strategy to pivot right in 2024 during the campaign

Cool how centrist Dems who say we have to moderate and “meet people where they are” (IE not lead or make a case for something that will shift political opinions to the left) on “economic/class issues” that are actually popular, suddenly find a leading voice on foreign militarism which is unpopular.

They really had the young girl statutory rape song guy hold a bible and sing about Jesus at their alternative halftime show lmao

When they tell you to keep it “quiet” and “respectful” and appeal to “civility”

Mfw Corey Booker says the problem with ICE is that they haven’t been recently given better training and body cameras when the dude who plugged Renee Goode in the face 3 times was a multi-year veteran of the force

Anyone really surprised the Trump admin doesn’t understand “no means no” with regards to Greenland?

“The Iraqi people are with us, they’re cheering in the streets, they’ll welcome as as liberators”

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

MAGA is a sinthome

At this point if you’re a Dem rep and you are not running on the *promise* of pushing for legal punishment across the board for Trump admin officials and agents- promising *not* to do what Obama did in the wake of the Iraq war and *not* to do what Ford did after Nixon- you don’t not have the sauce.

Imagine how far you’ve fallen as the Dem party for Ezra Klein to write an Op-Ed saying “yea I wouldn’t have done that”

As we see moderate liberals collaborate for nothing material; we, once again, must give credit where it is due

Also, the objectively correct response to all of the right wing meltdown “you forgot 9/11” “omg communism” etc online right now is aggressive mockery. Reclaim the enjoyment of righteous contempt for fascists.

We should not forget that Cuomo’s presence in the race at all was, from the beginning, the Democrat establishment’s attempt to torpedo Mamdani. His victory actually helps them more than they’ll ever admit. But we should remember their duplicitousness.

Rabid anti communist remains super confused about capital and capitalism. Strange

Hard

Whole page feels relevant

“Vote blue no matter who [unless the party’s establishment choice doesn’t win in which case they will stay in the race as an independent and get billions of Super PAC dollars to run ads about how winner of the Dem primary is a scary brown radical who wants to fill the subway with homeless people]!”

All you really need to know about how political/theoretically sophisticated Peter Thiel is- he sincerely describes Obama’s administration/policy as “low tax socialism.” These people aren’t dark genius anti-heroes. They’re high school accelerationists with billions of dollars and influence.

I’ve heard Mamdani give versions of this line before but it’s worth repeating that his winning strategy was talking to actual human beings who might vote for him, versus some mythical voter democrats are trying to swing from the right who does not exist.

Finding out good news about a mayoral election via the right wing and moderate liberal meltdown over it online in the morning is really something

Dem power brokers/strategists: we’re bleeding young voters, this is a problem we need to figure out! *raises 17 quintillion dollars of donor money to try and torpedo the campaign of an energetic young popular candidate for mayor in favor of a septuagenarian former gov who resigned in disgrace*

In case you are waiting for maga folks to “realize” the errors of their ways after Trump finally crosses some “line.” You are largely waiting in vain.

DEMOCRATS: Taco Trump. Hehe. He hates that. It’s driving him nuts. REPUBLICANS: We are going to string the communist pedophile Democrats up by their toes and rejoice as we watch the life leave their body.

“Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime; am I right?” Hell yea, brother. “The capitalist bourgeoise don’t pay you the actual value of what your labor produces.” What are you? Some kinda fuckin commie?

Trump signing a “new” Iran nuclear deal that will generally just be a reprint of the Obama deal, just with Trump’s name on it, will be unreservedly very funny.

Everytime a Twitter fascist in 2025 posts that same land mass election map instead of a population based one and asks how it’s possible the government is so consistent split close to 50/50, I move one notch farther along being openly pro Chinese internet firewall and Soviet style censors.

Fetishistic disavowal will go pretty far until something really painfully and directly effects them. But even in those cases we are in totally unchartered social-psyche territory. Look how many people you see online directly and painfully affected who, nonetheless, don’t change or deflect blame.

Rumors of Trump recognizing a Palestinian state are really giving DeGaulle exiting Algeria

this would be so funny if this guy wasn’t president

Civil disobedience

Why, no, you shouldn't have to have your 'papers' on yourself at all times or face extraordinary rendition to a foreign country, actually

Jordan Peterson going on Rogan to express his surprise and concern that the right is full of a “growing number” of psychopaths and sociopaths is really so hilariously on brand for him.

Trump is the great uniter- uniting China with Japan and Korea; and uniting Thomas and Alito unanimously with the rest of the court

Ya know we really didn’t have to change from pensions to 401ks right

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

Race realism EO just dropped

Radicalizing white women by showing them how Florence and the Machine’s song Seven Devils can be read as an analogy for Fanon’s argument about the colonized claiming their subjectivity in the violent destruction of an oppressive system

They’re still calling climate change mitigation policies and concerns “Marxism” but now they’ve added the even spookier sounding “voodoo” to it

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Use the list of democrats who voted in favor of Al Green’s censure as a handy list of those who don’t get it. A who’s who of collaborators.

Blackrock bought the Panama Canal lol

He’s running the country like a (private equity rug pull scam) business

“When they go low, we go high” *gets sent to a camp by those who went low* “Hey wait a darn minute”
