Imagine drinking 14 space beers, smoking some death sticks, and gambling your kids college funds on the Boonta Eve Classic

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

If it's the sound political strategy you claim to believe it is, what are you worried about, you'll more than make those lost votes up in disgusting centrists, right? Right? But you know deep down it doesn't work like that

You Can See Everything Everywhere All At Once

All these pseudo-Socratic "lesser evil" arguments make more sense once you understand that the greater evil is "bad for me" and the lesser evil is "bad for someone I don't care about."

The most recent presidential electional had the democratic nominee promising to keep supporting a genocide, and a large part of the base spent their free time defending said genocide, and insisted that you had to support genocide too or the republicans would do genocide

Evergreen

for whatever reason, the Japanese dub of the Simpsons Halloween segment "Clown Without Pity" added extra sound effects to this part

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

1: There's a world of difference between "this candidate isn't perfectly to my liking" and "this candidate actively provided financial, material, legal, and political support for genocide" or "is promoting policies to criminalize me or my friends"

when I see a bodacious pair of bozangas

I think a huge reason Elon Musk is so virulently transphobic is not simply that his daughter transitioned & went no contact, but that he did everything he could to make sure all his kids were boys b/c he hates women, & one of those children deliberately & publicly embracing being female enrages him.

Auron farming

decent goal but incredibly funny to follow “blow up the system” with “campaign finance and transparency reforms.” That definitionally is *not* blowing up the system lol

I applied to be a Democratic political consultant, and I made it to the final round of interviews. It went well, but then they found a few instances where I said something and wasn't totally and utterly wrong while being arrogantly out of touch, so I didn't get the job.

White People who can’t tell you one thing about British colonialism in India, the trillions looted during 190 years of oppression or the 160+ million excess deaths, will lay all the credit for a generational struggle with a diversity of tactics at the feet of Gandhi and its historically illiterate

today I procrastinated by making a witch hat for my budgie

“(crazier even than Hot Wheels)” might even be too stupid for Everyone is 12 Theory

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

democrats will throw you under the bus and then get mad at you for not being on the bus

Again, we have done upwards of 300 focus groups since outset of 2021 & in ones where we asked folks open ended what's wrong with Dems zero times has anyone volunteered anything about trans people. It's possible, yes, to lead them there but it's not top of mind.

Marjorie Taylor Greene comes out with a statement opposing the raid on Ilhan Omar before Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic Party

Pretty surreal how sharing a traumatic story about my daughter's birth elicited someone to call it "insane bullshit". I was just trying to contextualize why people are right to call our healthcare system dogshit, and also why you don't have to be an asshole if you disagree.

Anyone who says shit like this should be laughed out of the room. How can you take this person seriously on literally anything?

“Purity politics” is just a sniveling way to refer to ideological commitments that you won’t be moved off of. It’s good to have those and more people *should* have those.

When is? Serious question. Every election has been the most important one ever, so I’ve been told. I’ve seen elected democrats that roll over to big tech, throw trans people under the bus, and won’t oppose genocide and they’re also dogshit at opposing fascism.

Have any of the major 2028 hopefuls (Newsom, Harris, Rat Boy etc) even issued a forceful condemnation of Trump targeting Ilhan Omar?

You were a libertarian like four years ago. The red scare crew have been right wingers longer than you’ve nominally been a liberal.
