The fact that “the AOCification of Zohran Mamdani has happened at lightning speed” is a verbatim quote from a socialist congressional candidate in Seattle says volumes more about the unseriousness of leftists than I could say in ten lifetimes. Why are they so desperate to be a Contrapoints meme?

Guys, I promise you do not have to actually pretend to suffer from TBI like this.

I wonder whether the so-called journalists circling the wagons around the Verge right now would be nearly as receptive to the argument that people can be shitty so stop whining about it if someone threw a drink on them at one of their Cool Kids Club cocktail parties.

it's not even a hit piece on stancil, that's not what's wrong with it. it's a fucking groupchat piece written for the approval of intrachat peers who absolutely fucking sneer at all of their same perceived social media enemies. it's old hollywood gossip papers intended for bullying and threats

Hey look, a few comments Will has made which were in terribly poor taste and probably undeserved but which are nonetheless not remotely indicative of misogyny, transphobia, or even anything remotely antisocial especially when compared to the shit the people who hate him spew.

The leftist clique decided Will was a cringey nerd and now they're mocking him for sport in the manner of all bully cliques since the dawn of time.

When you feel the need to say "At least Hitler wasn't.... " maybe you should step back, take a breath, slap yourself, and delete whatever you've written before you put it out to the public.

There are definitely some people who are unreasonably upset in this situation. None of them are named Will Stancil.

Reminder: not a single person could at the time of his confirmation have guessed Rubio would become what he is, and anyone claiming they could is lying. He was seen at the time as the best possible option given the incredibly fucking piss poor judgment of the electorate.

Well, this pretty much proves at this point that a lot of journalists are in the mean girl group chats.

"Let me first make up an argument no one's making, and then defend that strawman by pointing to unrelated things."

Hey buddy, thanks for deciding that my rights aren't all that important.

"Have you seen the rest of our coverage" as a defense against accusations about one piece of coverage is basically a fucking admission that the critics are correct and you know they're correct.

I'm about one more "mog" tweet away from gouging my fucking eyes out.

Saying this in a thread with substantive criticism pretty well proves you're lying.

Imagine just admitting you use phrases you've "adopted" from W. And then imagine going so far as to say you also adopt phrasing from Trump. Couldn't be me.

Hey, Republicans, I found your immigrant-run election fraud.

He really sounds like he's dying. I don't know how else to put it: he's angry, but Trump angry is usually boisterous and flamboyant and he's just... diminished, today. He sounds more than anything DEPRESSED. And like he's having trouble breathing.

This man is on fucking horse tranqs.

30 minutes... Critical support to comrade Thrombus.

Shouting into the void on this, but doomers should consider this thought: Donald Trump sure as fuck isnt acting like this is a win for him

My god. The tariff decision came out literally not an hour ago. You people really need to get it through your fucking skulls that it's good, actually, that politicians take time to respond to breaking news rather than go off the cuff immediately.

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

you don't have to like it, but this is what peak progressivism looks like the left will go so much farther if it embraces patriotism and joy as a rallying cry to aspire for the country to be better

DONALD TRUMP IS MASSIVE STINKY LOSER

There's definitely an argument that in the abstract, the removal of tariffs helps Trump because it helps the economy. But making that argument kind of requires a person to ignore the fact that Trump's going to MELT THE FUCK DOWN over this and find innumerable other ways to fuck himself over.

Come on blood clot you can do, I believe in you.

Hey, Donnie?

Time to pray for high blood pressure to do its job.

Buddy you look like you shouldn't be within 50 feet of a school

Lol I love it when you people accuse Jews who actually know a little more about their community than you, of being antisemitic It shows how you just talk over people when it gets inconvenient

No there's not. Your 1 Jewish friend doesn't mean you know where my fucking community stands Deal with your own trauma you generic white leftist

Fuck off Jew hater All 3 of you are trading in Jewish power tropes like simple medieval peasants Oh noooo I believe both Israel and Palestine should exist, how fucking horrible huh?

What's it like for experiencing this level of psychosis?

I will note stancil talked to the press to let them witness ice atrocities up close and the people mad at stancil talked to the press to tell them they were mad at stancil. I ask you, which one is the Better strategy for victory?

The mean girl Will Stancil hatred has gone mainstream.

Will Stancil does tend to tell people to ignore incredibly fucking stupid advice from people who've never achieved anything.

Disregarding that lol no that will not be the first line in any obituary for Joe Biden outside weird pseudo-leftist Russian-bankrolled toilet paper like Jacobin, I do appreciate these chucklefucks telling everyone openly again and again that they don't actually care about genocide.

I've seen some really fucking stupid attempts to blame Ruth Bader-Ginsburg for leftists deciding SCOTUS wasn't important in 2016, but elevating that to "she and McConnell worked together to sabotage the Court" is a level of fucking moronic I'm not sure I able to comprehend.

Early in my enlistment in the USAF, the entire USAF converted personnel files to a new system. In the midst of that, I got called in to my CO's office where he, being a full-bird Colonel while I was a lowly know-nothing Airman First Class, sprung to his feet, went to attention, and saluted me.

Democrats are winning because of Democrats. They're winning because Democratic candidates are putting out good policies just like Democrats do. It has nothing to do with the people that are still yelling that nobody's listening to. They're not following your advice. They're ignoring you. Thanks.

Let's also talk about the trend of moderate Democrats running and winning elections since this administration started and then people who claim to be progressives taking the credit and acting as if their candidate is the one who won. Let me be clear. I'm not letting you do that shit either.

This has been happening since the 2016 election. I remember somebody on Facebook telling me that because I was mean to them they were going to vote for trump. You're all children. It shows that you don't care about yourself and you don't care about anybody else. I'm not going to kiss your ass.

I'm so tired of people who say you have to coddle them, worship them, and kiss their ass for them to do the right thing and vote for Democrats. You shouldn't need everybody to give you a pass on everything no matter what to not help the worst people on the planet win elections.

This also goes for any and all organizations that use the Democratic Party's label to get elected and shit on the party. Stay out of the primaries.

You people need to pick. If you run under the Democratic Party's name, you should feel obligated to the party and their voters. If you are "Independent" of the party, say that and stay out of their primaries. Using their resources for yourself, seems kind of slimy and you look like a fuck fraud.

That little bastard on the right needs to get got. (It me)

All the minis for our group are here (thanks HeroForge) and they look GREAT!

Every once in a while I really do have to remind you all that if Clinton had won in 2016, we would almost definitely now have a Supreme Court ruling that says trans people have a constitutional right to bathroom access, and none of this would be happening.
