If you think the stuff I post is dumb, you should see the stuff I hit “discard” on.

If I remember correctly, Basil literally edited the final panel of a Haus comic to have no text and said it was funnier (it was), which was then taken to mean Basil was silencing the artist and committing a crime. (The internet was a mistake)

lol

I typo all the time. It happens. That’s why I don’t do the “oh you mean [correctly spelled word]!?!?” thing unless it’s particularly egregious or relevant. Not to mention, the iPhone keyboard and autocorrect have gotten multiples worse over the years. Typing on a phone is harder than ever!

lmao It sucks so much she wasn’t our president.

It’s been 10 years and Bernie has not shown any interest in reigning in his cult even one time. On the contrary: He’s elevated people like Tulsi and never owned up to it. Him continuing to support Platner is insanely predictable.

The group chats always win.

(It’s also racist.)

This is the post that has mentally broken me.

I cannot believe it’s 2026 and we’re still making this woman put up with this shit.

A lot of this is downstream of people refusing to pay for news. I know plenty of good, left-leaning people who will look at you like you have two heads if you tell them they should pay for news. Online, it’s worse. If you share a paywalled article, people yell at you to copy/paste the text.

I kind of don’t think this is true. The campus left effectively held the Democratic Party hostage for the entirety of 2024 and eventually shot the hostage. And all of this was paid attention to by many!

who made this

I think this is actually my biggest peeve with these folks: they exist in this superposition of "I can influence other people's opinions" and "my statements can't meaningfully harm the party". And when you ask them what their plan is, they go "that's not my job! that's Dems' jobs!"

It just would be nice for people to focus on the fucking lunatics assassinating/abducting foreign heads of state for a little while. The Dem obsession is childish.

Ghoulish.

A sizable portion of internet leftist dogma was wholly hallucinated. I’ll give her credit in that she didn’t get defensive when called out on it, but a lot of people gaslit themselves about who Bernie is and who the Democrats are.

This is a very weird thing to post because it never happened! Bernie Sanders wasn't in the Senate until 2007, and the AUMF passed 296-133 (including Sanders) in the House, and 77-23 in the Senate. He was part of a minority who voted against it yes but there were over 150 of them!

Posting on X, of course.

tbh, I think a credible, high profile case of the American left successfully policing antisemitism would ultimately do Palestine more good politically than one dipshit oysterman.

Pod Save America has been platforming Hasan Piker for a long time now. They also gave an all time softball interview to Platner. The reality is that post-10/7 social media has convinced a lot of people that it’s ok to downplay antisemitism because it’s politically potent. It’s just Vance-ism.

I get tired of American voters being pure innocents who can never be judged for their shitty, shitty choices.

Really sick of people suggesting this is the consultant class pushing Platner on us. He was found and pushed by the Bernie wing of the party. They are trying to push this onto the rest of the party now that his nazi-dom is undeniable.

Since this is a response to me, I’ll respond back: I don’t think I can sink Platner that way. I think he’s definitely going to be the Democratic nominee and likely the next Senator. And that means both parties no longer have taboos against candidates who associate with Nazis, and that scares me!

I had someone explicitly say this to me: They're happy to excuse his nazi tattoo because he has sufficient mistrust of Israel.

I'm a former subscriber, and I have listened to them less and less since basically Biden's decision to step down from the nomination in 2024. Between their support of Platner and their continued support of Hasan Piker, it's really sad what happened to them. Disappointing is an undersatement.

I was literally bullied out of the Democratic Party public discord by its leftist DSA clique for being anti-Platner.

It’s been a busy weekend for our fantastic global team of reporters and editors, partic our unmatched Tehran crew - so instead of doing a thread of various news items you’ve missed, I’ll just leave you with this: proof that print is still alive and kicking in the 21st century. #buyapaper

*this* is the shit that you shouldn't look away from; not war gore or bombing cam shit put out by the administration, but this kind of utterly unholy contempt for everyone and everything coming from the president of the united states. *this* is the kind of thing you should let sear your eyeballs.

Can you imagine if a Democratic President said a bunch more American troops are going to be killed and we just need to suck it up. Yet another Presidency defining scandal for anyone else that for Trump is just a normal Sunday afternoon.

Why are these folks protesting Kamala Harris when it should be Trump who they ought to be rallying against? Are they so fearful of the Trump admin that they would rather harass someone who currently lacks executive powers?

Remember: the main thing they don’t like about the Nazis is that they killed socialists. The entire point of the “first they came” poem is that each subsequent group on the list was fine with the prior groups getting carted off by the state.

At least we know enraged protestors killing people while storming a U.S. diplomatic outpost is a redline for Congressional Republicans. apnews.com/article/paki...

Cool antisemitism in Stancil’s menchies.

We literally just got a new House leader and people do the same thing to him, so I’m not sure what your point is.

There are really two core dangers from Iran. 1) The state collapsing and becoming a haven for regional terror. See: Iraq. 2) Non-state groups that Iran supported conducting terrorist attacks on the homeland. Both could take years to really impact people. This is also why “ABOLISH DHS” is dumb.

It’s pretty amusing the extent to which basic facts get some people on this website absolutely frothing mad.

I gotta say, all of the “ha ha sucks to be you!!” about people living in Dubai is really disgusting. It’s really not all affluent jerkoffs avoiding taxes and buying Lambos. A huge amount of NGOs and media are based there (or in other gulf capitals) specifically to safely be close to conflict zones.

"It's actually good that all the pretense is gone and we know where we stand!!" is a bad take when leftists make it to play into their accelerationist fantasies, and it's a bad take when liberals make it too.

It’s a sign of just how much social media (and foreign influence) has cooked people’s brains that they’re making arguments that no one even made during the Iraq protests. Not even the most radical anti war leftist in 2003 was shedding tears over the fall of Saddam.

The great irony of the online far left thinking “blue maga” is clever is that they’ve done more to support Donald Trump than nearly anyone associated with Actual MAGA.

This app is full of deranged people who literally would hate a pop tart if you told them it was an incumbent Democrat.

Generally, on the foreign policy stage, elected leaders act within a clear reading of the national interest. That may be informed by morality, but not controlled by it. That’s why Biden maintained our alliance with Israel. Trump (and Putin) don’t do this, so everyone seems to have forgotten that.

When America does something bad, it doesn’t automatically make the people we did it to good. Like the problem with Iraq wasn’t that Saddam was an amazing person who we deposed. Not even Code Pink was trying to argue that back then. There’s nothing wrong with Duckworth’s statement or comments.

This leaves out the part where Democrats tell everyone this is gonna happen but the country ignores them for reasons they cannot articulate.

It seems pretty clear at this point that when the online far left says they hate Nazis, the actual thing they don’t like about the Nazis is that they killed so many Soviets, specifically.

Just gonna put it out there that calling Jeffries “AIPAC Shakur” is probably antisemitic but definitely racist, and you should not do it

It didn’t really supercharge until Twitter took over the media in 2014-2016. We’re fucked until these microblogging platforms die. Eliminating nuance is hostile to Democrats (and democracy).

It’s worth noting the people online who say stuff like that are also some of the worst people on social media.

American leftists are so American they think consumption of content is praxis
