More and more convinced that unconditional contentment is the beating heart of spiritual practice, and Buddhism in particular.
It’s so radical it calls into question not only our “personal” preferences, attitudes and orientations, but the entire way society and civilization are organized.

Hard to overstate just how damaging the mainstream progressive dialogue that called everyone with whom the disagree fascists, racists, and pedophiles.

Trump said “the systems rigged and broken, I’m gonna do something”
And Dems said “it’s fine and if you disagree you are stupid and uneducated (probably a racist, sexist, fascist Nazi too)”

Bernie’s not a Dem, which he means he doesn’t need to follow a braindead set of party lines that continue to lost election. Why do DNC hacks keep pretending they know the way out of this? And why do progressives keep falling for it?
Biden pushing this line was bad.
Trump pushing this line is bad.
Bernie pushing this line is bad.
Unless Democrats want to join MAGA's anti-immigration party, we can't start borrowing their rhetoric. We need to make a case for why immigration is good, not run away scared from it.

Just remember: progressives would have won in 2024 if they had stuck to their principles and common sense messaging instead of mimicking the morally bankrupt, intellectually dishonest fear mongering tactics of the GOP.
We lost because of greedy strategists like this, don’t ever forget it.

If you want to know why we lost in 2024 look no further than our failure to run a negative campaign focused on Trump’s dangerous plans for America.

If you hate Trump and MAGA, you support Kimmel. If you love Trump and MAGA, you hate Kimmel.
It really is that simple for 95% of people and all the blah blah blah around it is nothing more than post-hoc rationalizations masquerading as “reasons”

Seems like people here feel so entitled to being viewed as smart, thoughtful, good people. Entitled to their righteousness, that there is abject fury that anyone would dare questions that entitlement.

The fact remains that everyone on here trapped in their progressive echo chamber has a sort of madness as evidenced by beliefs in fiction over reality (like that Elon stole the 2024 election and Kirk’s killer was maga).
Very similar to what’s happened to conservatives over the last 15 years

Can you still have a faux-revolutionary Andor quote in your profile if you just cancelled Disney+?
Are you now forbidden from all Star Wars references to make sense of global politics?

If you spend any time in right wing spaces vs left wing spaces it’s abundantly clear that the left has become the least tolerant of dissenting views. It’s incredible really.

blocked for this post. And we wonder why we can’t break thru out of our progressive bubble
The idea that there are more of us (progressives) than them is fatally flawed thinking and not backed up by data and recent trends. 77 million voted for Trump and 90 million sat it out, could not be convinced by progressives dire warnings.

Reminder that the heavily online left went crazy about Biden being competent (wrong), went crazy that Kamala was going to win with 300+ electoral votes (so wrong), and went crazy that Kirk’s killer was MAGA (obviously wrong from the start).

Nice balanced article for once from NPR about how the disparate reactions from the two ends of the political spectrum were obviously driven by social media echo chambers.
Blue Team - he‘s obviously MAGA!
Red Team - organized Antifa hit!
Both deranged fever dreams and evidence of your echo chamber

After the 2024 debacle, there are only two reasons someone would unironically support the DNC:
1) they are scared and dumb
2) it’s how they make a living

My resolve is steel.

We should be clear about who loses when we engage with this endless culture war bullshit: WE lose, progressive lose, because it co times to isolate us from the vast majority of Americans (ie: voters) who don’t give a shit.
AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
