I want something clear: I have never said "I will never vote for a Democrat" My vote is winnable. My demands have never been unreasonable. If they seem so, that says more about your ethics than mine. These things amount to a minimum standard of human rights. In no particular order:

Major press failure: treating Jared Kushner taking foreign bribes and shaping US foreign policy as less relevant than Hunter Biden not taking bribes nor influencing policy. Covering Kushner accurately was considered partisan, biased. Lies about Hunter or his minor actions treated as more important.

I'd be deeply ashamed of this. Holy shit, imagine being this out of touch with your own 10yo child, and this unable to form an independent thought

Some Tennessee and Texas voters report touchscreens highlighting the R candidate when voting for D. Officials blame touch sensitivity, and voters caught it. Check your screen, the review page, and the printed ballot if your machine prints one.

listen, I'm not saying that making private equity firms turbo-illegal would fix *everything* that's wrong with the world, but I am saying it'd be a good fucking start

It feels even worse at times cause some races are 'you are allowed to kick as many of this breed as you want, as long as you don't kick too many of the ones we like'

Were at a point where a plurality of people in power are just openly cartoonishly evil, not a difference of opinion, but like "not kicking puppies is woke liberal bullshit" degree of stupid, insane evil and the other main group meant to save us are busy going "whats if we only kicked 1 or 2 puppies"

In November, Dems will likely win big. Liberals will feel relieved. In 2028, a milquetoast corporate Democrat will win the presidency, spend 4 years maintaining what Trump did as liberals go back to brunch. Then, in 2032, as life keeps getting worse, we’ll get something like President T Carlson.

theres this idea in the media that if netanyahu loses his election that israel is going to become acceptable to support again, as he is singularly the problem. but if you look into the election you find out every single opposition party is casting him as "too weak on palestine"

Voting for 99% Hitlur so you don’t end up with 100% Hitlur … … is the same result if you fall within the 99% crossover. It’s only a difference for that 1%.

I say it all the time now. If somebody wants to put trans people on the sacrificial alter, I will throw them in as well. I'm not voting for an anti-trans Dem, and no amount of yelling at me will change my mind

so you vote for the dems, desperate to stop the death squads, and then the dems keep paying their salaries, supplying their weaponry, until a republican gets in office again. and we’re back to square one.

Trans people saying they are focusing on their own issues because they don't trust Democrats to protect them can only be convinced by successfully assuring them their backs are being watched. You can't bully someone into trusting you, and the attempt will only make the distrust worse.

If you think the solution to stopping fascist republicans is electing fascist democrats, my take away is that you are a fascist

If I were secretly a collaborator working with republicans from a position of power within the democratic party, I cannot think of anything I'd do meaningfully differently

Does anyone else recognize the irony of this? If the Democratic party represented what the people actually wanted, no one would have lay on this guilt trip bullshit to get us to vote Blue.

And inspires spite! People can get really upset when they are told the lesser evil has teeth sharpened for them specifically.

In an ideal world, people would act completely rationally and people would turn out to vote for the least-bad option and the Republicans would lose in a landslide no matter how badly democrats fumble the ball. But we don’t live in that world. In reality, demoralizing your base loses elections.

Its really telling that every election season sees liberals complaining that "Leftists only show up to complain about dems now" and its just...no. Leftists have been talking about this the whole time. YOU only started paying attention during election season. Thats a YOU problem you're projecting

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

instead of saying "but you have to vote for him if he wins the nomination" you need to start saying "oh shit we better make sure he doesn't win the nomination" because the answer to the first thing is fuck gavin newsome

Gavin Newsome: Well I'm a huge believer in reaching across the aisle, in finding common ground despite political differences, for the greater good of the nation. It's for that reason that i am honored and excited to welcome you to the show Adolf Hitler: Danke
