These folks have spent a decade trying to convince everyone and themselves that there’s a closeted socialist majority just waiting to be activated by the right insurgent anti establishment white man that keeps getting foiled by some woke liberal bitch. And it’s all fucking gender folks !

The thing about all the Newsom posting is that people are giving themselves negative feelings about the party as a whole based on something at best hypothetical (more likely imaginary) and after the thing doesn’t come to pass, those negative feelings will remain, searching for justification.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

yeah, sorry, but whatever their many flaws (and they are many tbc), the dems - to their very real credit - have held up pretty well on trans rights. lot of that "left" people jerk off to in europe would be infinitely better if they could even get halfway to the average dem position
Oh boy, did Hasan just fly into an anti-Democrat rage after being criticized by two trans people? You'd think he'd be more mature than this, but...

Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

At a certain point it becomes clear some people won’t stop defending this guy’s Nazi tattoo because they *want* people to know he had a Nazi tattoo
Incredible
“Let's get this out of the way: Graham Platner isn't a Nazi. He had a Nazi tattoo, sure, but he doesn't anymore.”

I'd take the left commentariat a lot more seriously if they were willing to acknowledge that their posture for 2024 was "sure, we will sacrifice American queers, but at least we will protect palestine by putting Netanyahu's bud into the white house."

This is why I didn’t have any time for the “listen to protest VETERANS” shit. Lots of people just like Being Radical for its own sake, especially those who flit from cause to cause. You don’t owe them any deference!
Parts of the Palestinian activist movement in the US have unfortunately been overtaken by campist politics that have utilized Palestine for broader ideological projects. This is the co-founder of Palestine Action US. (1)

Is "No, we want them to vote for us because we're offering something to every American unconditionally." just left speak for "We don't care about social safety net expansion because we're not precarious."
This guy just makes shit up because he loathes Democrats more than anything in the world (except Israel).
There’s literally no reason for Dems to engage with this wrecker.

Sanders decided to relitigate deplorables on election day 2016 and spent the final months of the 2024 election shitting on the former furthest left senator's commitment to working families.
plus, the left has shown much better "party loyalty" and harm-reduction instincts in the actual voting booth than the center has. PUMA democrats bail to support the right when a more progressive candidate is on the ballot far more than leftists do when the usual centrist is.

If you want to claim "the center" are worse party soldiers than "the left", you probably should find an example that isn't nearly 2 decades old, especially when people were interrupting Kamala Harris book events last year when she was no longer even in office to call her a murderer.

If you're wondered why when some right-wing thinktank comes out with an opinion that beggars belief and all the left legal apparatus say they're all really good people with reasonable disagreements, here is one such law authority getting into an argument with a pleizar and losing.

The lack of national coverage of Border Patrol and Operation Midway Blitz in Chicagoland is perhaps the most profound failure of the media in 2025.

Serious question, did we have loads of articles about how word processors in the 1980s were going to eliminate tens of thousands of clerical jobs or did we not have those because the people impacted were overwhelming female?

Chris, you believed that Trump was going to outflank Hillary on the left in 2016. You don't know what dignity is.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
