"New York is going to turn into a communist hellhole where poor people are barely exploitable anymore. So count me out. I’m packing up the offices of my toxic masculinity troll site and taking my miscreant talents somewhere they’ll be appreciated, like Florida or Texas."

Maybe we should stop funneling money and resources to thinks like “blue Missouri”

capitalism is about the consolidation of power. the dollars are the scoreboard, not the goal. they hate redistributive policies not just because it would cost them money but because they would redistribtute the *power* as much as the money.

Mamdani is already cleaning up the NYPD!

The Pentagon says they'll treat drug smugglers "exactly like we treated Al Qaeda", presumably by losing at least one extended war against them, murdering millions of civilians in the process, giving up and letting them have a couple of countries, and then agreeing to fund their militaries.

Dick Cheney never got to see Predator: Badlands

No, we don’t. Next question?

Reminder that the Bulwark is almost exclusively conservative GOP apparatchiks who allayed themselves against Trump but were defeated and excised from the party. They emulate defenders of civil rights and liberties, but posts like this show they are just straight up idiots.

It’s true Pelosi didn’t get beat as often as O’Neil. She rolled over and gave up way before it was necessary to beat her.

Barrack Obama has not congratulated Zohran Mamdani on his Facebook Page but he has offered his condolences to Dick Cheney’s family, that oughta tell you everything you need to know about what this overseer values in his twilight years

We turned it into a sporting event because we didn’t want to see a sleazy sexual predator win?

The international sign of the pedo makes a roaring comeback

Which things? Be specific.

Think about how the left told Biden, and then Kamala, that their campaign would 100% lose if they did the exact opposite of what Mamdani's would be. They literally plugged their ears and said shut the fuck up, and then she lost by doing the exact opposite, in every way on every issue, of Mamdani.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

For better and for worse, it's undeniable: democratic socialists are the base of the Democratic Party

Someone should ask them why it's good for candidates in conservative districts to "appeal to their constituency" but bad for a candidate in NYC to do the exact same thing

Somewhere Kamala Harris keeps trying to post a heartfelt eulogy of Dick Cheney but her publicist has hidden her phone.

Kamala's best friend died and you're laughing

Truly what the Democratic Party needs are more snot-nosed dweebs telling voters that it’s all in their heads.

There’s been a recent spate of “Bernie 2016” discourse on here for…some reason, and it’s very funny that some are huffing that empty paint can when Cuomo lost a primary and then openly ran a spoiler campaign against the Dem nominee and is now endorsed by the most hated ppl alive

This is how centrists respond to the fact they voted for genocide.

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

If you look at two fascists and decide that ether of them should be in power, you're the one that deserves what you get under fascism.

The Republican Party and wider conservative movement is diametrically opposed to the US Constitution and way of life. Democrats, liberals and others need to start saying this and repeating it — the people are already there.

I really hope Americans understand that the forced famine in Gaza and this are intrinsically connected

Almost every “is it acceptable to like X again yet” sentiment is about some wildly popular, widely feted thing that is disliked by people with “taste.” It’s someone who likes crap triangulating around the minority that doesn’t to harass people into admitting it’s good for the sake of their ego

Would be awesome if any of the white, hetero, gentiles bloviating support for the Maine Nazi took a single step back to look at themselves and what they are doing to the left.

“We” being your 200 bot followers?

Hamilton is still running, has made Miranda famous, rich(er), and culturally omnipresent, was received with often hysterical degrees of rapture by most critics, and is pretty universally beloved. The people who can't stand it (myself included) are outliers.

Literally doing the poem

I was 21 when the second Iraq war broke out. I marched against it for a year and never once contemplated a Nazi tattoo. So no, I won’t vote for someone dumber than I am. That’s sort of my threshold.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

With all these shiny tech toys, people always say "Well, I like my shiny toy, even if it has all of these downsides. So, you must acknowledge how important it is that I like my shiny toy and you must allow me to keep it despite all the damage it causes. My shiny toy is very special, like me."

Travis Bickle ass poster.

Yeah, a Minstrel Show about how a warmongering slaver who got owned by Aaron Burr with the worst schoolhouse rape ever so a white Puerto Rican can do blackface is “good”.

The Big Bang Theory of plays

The guy has inspired huge disparate voting blocs, he’s running a campaign of total positivity and concrete plans, and he’s extremely hard to catch bullshitting because he seems to believe in what he’s saying. If he isn’t the face of the democrats in 2026 and 2028, we’re gonna lose. Again.

I’ve been marching against the war on terror, the apartheid state of Israel, and religious oppression of women and trans folks for decades. I’ve volunteered for a half dozen campaigns. But you put up a lawn so you think you can lecture me.

Incredible way to talk to a Jewish man concerned you’re making a concentration camp float all about yourself.

There's no classic combo like the aspirational duo of "misunderstanding" and "power".

I think we can all agree that the only fair and decent reason for a grown man to enjoy Labyrinth (1986) are the muppets.

Thanks, Drake.

"If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" Billie Eilish speaking directly to Mark Zuckerberg, as she donates $11.5m to food poverty and climate justice organisations.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

To even mention "incrementalism" after what we've seen this administration do is completely absurd. Under Biden, Dems controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress, but they pretended to be powerless. It's not that they can't get things done, they don't want to. They manufacture excuses.

In the same way, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a massive, roaring backlash against Woke exploded out of the American squillionaire class, at the exact same time that lots of women started using social media to talk publicly about the very wealthy men who harassed and assaulted them.
