The crashouts people have on here when someone points out that it was ineffective for Dems to overly fixate on identity over telling a cohesive story about universal issues is weird
I have to assume that it comes from people who are very emotionally invested in their own moral correctness

You know what's really pathetic? Journalists and other members of the media who are still helping to cover this up even when they weren't even invited to pedo fuck island themselves. I mean have some fucking self respect

I really have been noticing lately that ppl, especially online, don't seem to comprehend any sort of specific context to textual statements - they pick out keywords and assume what you said around them. It's why you can repeatedly clarify statements in basic English and they still won't get it
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

I love how ICE agents dress, talk and act like they're busting major crime rings and instead they're dragging working moms out on the street in front of crying children.

I don't think "SNAP is a subsidy to low wage employers" frame is useful or correct. It implies that, if SNAP did not exist, these companies would be forced to pay workers more when the actual situation is that low wage workers would get the same wages from these employers as now but be poorer

Free advice to leftists:
Your biggest stars weren't actually random working class joes who were driven to action. They *can* convincingly perform that ideal while having been selected and groomed for years to be in office.
AOC interned for Ted Kennedy, she wasn't actually just a waitress

It will be briefly popular to dunk on that recently announced Disney animation about the heterosexual couple having a baby, please be aware this is by one of the animators on Moana whose infant son died during production not an expression that woke is over.

OK i gotta admit my new mild pet peeve is Dem politicians throwing a rally in a red district that is still within a short driving distance from a major metro area, and then posting like "I'M IN BUMFUCK, WHICH IS A RED AREA! LOOK AT THIS TURNOUT!! SHIT IS BREWING IN RED AMERICA!!"

Hot Take - feeling cute, will probably delete.
The *Mamdani Discourse* is an anti-Dem 26 Op to keep people from focusing on their own local politics.
Seriously, 98% of you do not need to put this much effort into who governs the Five Boroughs, a far more parochial locale than you realize.

When Obergefell was decided a decade ago, the Christian right immediately declared it the new Roe, pledging to eventually overrule it, even if that meant, like with Roe, they would spend decades chipping away at LGBTQ equality in a multitude of ways. They got a chip with Mahmoud v Taylor today

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular.

Uhh this is a weird comparison. Mamdani came from a rich connected media family, the Great Recession is not why he didn't have a normal job in his 20s. He literally did music work for his mother and tried a rap career. AOC is very different.
This is a really smart point about "experience" from @besttrousers.bsky.social, presented as a screenshot of a thread for readability
