everybody who rushed to do hagiography for Charlie Kirk, some guy who chose to live as a terrible and hateful person, is simply the latest fool to get their hand stuck in the far-right honey jar we call The Media Cycle

I can't believe that Harry Braverman, writing under a pseudonym actually wrote this "drivel": "the fight against British oppression of the colonies". The conceptual gymnastics involved in that are grotesque.

a lot of the people who will chastise you for criticizing Dems instead of focusing on Trump are surprisingly willing to criticize protestors instead of focusing on Trump

I mean, yes I would like evidence that fishing was the number one voting issue for 43% of old guys. You think its a gotcha that I think there should be evidence for an argument? Let alone one that had no basis before it was constructed by a well funded propaganda campaign in real time?

there isn’t a specific amount of immigration that you can hit and make people happy, it can always be made to feel like too much

Sadly, the degree to which bluesky is Democratic Party "central" overwhelms the fact that it's also much less batshit crazy than X/Twitter.

The idea that personal ideology is a continuum from right to left and that people who cannot reliably be expected to vote for one party or another must be in the center is the kind of thing you can only believe if you don’t know anyone who didn’t go to grad school

This is a very consultant-brain type of thinking bc swing voters aren’t “centrists” by any meaningful sense of the world. Their most salient ideological characteristics are, like, a general disinterest in “the news” and a loose and absolutely incoherent set of political beliefs
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s leading voices. But some worry she will turn off the centrist voters needed to win competitive races.
AOC Isn’t Ruling Anything Out, Including the White House
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s rise to prominence worries some Democrats who say the base is taking the wrong lessons from the 2024 election.

May I kindly request that we all recommit ourselves to the convention of capitalizing the first letter of the names of political parties and their supporters and officials? Clearly, the Democratic party and Democrats, are not democratic and democrats, e.g..

It can be legitimately claimed that X is a "dumpster fire". From my pov, bluesky is likewise very problematic. Shitlib central.

Marx made the case that capital incites the creation of the net, additional, surplus value which it extracts and appropriates.

Explain why the State in a society characterized by capitalist property & production relations is structurally dependent on sustained "capital accumulation", without presupposing that money tax revenues & proceeds from the issuance & sale of Govt securities is required for State expenditures.

Tbc i do not buy a bond vigilante story except as an ideological thing about Trump and Bessent's mindset. But even that can be behind the scenes people talking financial market stress and them only partially understanding.
