If you blame/attack Democrats more than Republicans, you are not on the left.

Someday, everyone needs to reckon with the utterly blasé attitude with which the internet left invokes the slaughter in Gaza as a rhetorical cudgel to beat social media enemies with.
It cheapens the suffering, has no positive benefit at all, and turns a real war crime into a meme. It’s disgusting.

Hasan is a bad person, he is incredibly ignorant, and his fans are 100x more toxic than even the Chapo fans were.
It is basically disqualifying for me if someone continues to speak positively of him.
People like Pod Save America tried to hold this guy up as aspirational for the left. Fuck off.

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...

So the big difference between her and Mamdani, who had similar odds at this point in their respective races, is that - at minimum - half the country already hates AOC.
anybody currently raging about Newsom needs to be stopped better get on board or I might think your outrage is a tad performative

I see this sort of No True Scotsman style argument all the time. Sometimes you have dogshit people on your side! Failing to call them out is how you wind up like the GOP.

Rooting for Abughazaleh to lose at this point because I think its important for the health of our politics that poorly run wrecker campaigns actually see consequences for their shitty behavior rather than be rewarded with a nomination.

Reiterating my belief that any trans person in a blue area who thinks there is no difference between parties has a moral obligation to switch homes with a trans person in Bumfuck, Mississippi who believes otherwise.
Your reminder that Jon Bel Edwards, a legit conservative and the last Dem governor of Louisiana, was pro trans rights while being anti choice. "Dems don't support queer people" is like the most easily disproven lie. If JBE, Kelly, Cooper, and Beshear are all pro trans.

Dems could have just stuck with the righteous position on immigration -- "it's good! it needs to be somewhat better controlled, but it's good." -- & they would have been here to meet the public, looking like they know what they believe in.
But no. Chased that way, chased this way, always chasing.

Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.

This is the fundamental flaw in the progressive left’s electoral strategy. They keep forgetting who the base is.
As we all know, the most proven method of winning a partys nomination is to shit all over the party itself and prominent, popular figures within it in the hopes that primary voters who are the base of said party respond positively to those attacks.

I once again remind people that the radical invention of the Constitution (and the Declaration) is that they may be interpreted to speak to a long struggle for dignity and equality beyond that which even their framers understood.

@whstancil.bsky.social Thus far, these sorts of feints have really been about giving congressional Democrats a way to support funding DHS with fewer restrictions on ICE. No accident that this comes right when they're trying to get congressional Dems to stop asking for so much in that regard.

not super important, but when asked for Senators (just Senators not *Republican* Senators) he admired Graham Planter named Josh Hawley, again he wasn't asked for from both parties just senators in general.
Hawley ended up getting so aggressive toward Ellison, including calling for his arrest, that even Rand Paul asked him to tone it down

Yeah, seems weird no one is talking about this.
Had they nuked the filibuster during the 117th Congress, the GOP trifecta would pass every shitty piece of legislation they could get through both chambers, whether it’s a federal abortion ban, banning gay marriage, and whatever else they can’t get done through budget reconciliation.

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.

If you have 1,000 followers online who don't know who to vote for or whether to vote at all, your posts disparaging both parties as the same trash will matter far more than your one vote.
Correct.
The wrecker leftists aren't affecting elections via their *votes*, but restricting political involvement to just voting is purposefully missing the point.
They're affecting elections via *propaganda* and *poisoning the well with their peers*.

More importantly, they tend to be younger and thus have an outsized influence on their peers. These peers may be apolitical or not yet sure of their own beliefs. So wrecker leftists are essentially "poisoning the well" by convincing these young people that Dems are worse than Republicans.
