If you’re still saying “Democrats need to earn my vote,” you really don’t care about what happens to the rest of us.

Literally every last argument against voting blue no matter who I've ever seen from social media leftists boils down to "VOTING IS SHOPPING AND THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO DEMOCRACY'S MANAGER!"

People ask why the Democrats aren't doing more to stop the Republicans. The answer is twofold:
1. Because, as the minority, they usually can't.
2. Because obstructionism isn't popular unless people know that what's being obstructed is bad.

Of course it’s not a threat at all, under any interpretation, LET ALONE a true threat outside First Amendment protection, but I guess some of these people have a lot on their conscience about supporting a pedophile and tend to blurt it out.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

This is the thing that blows my mind: leftists sabotage any attempt to make progress happen. They don’t vote, never have a candidate that’s appealing to the masses, they don’t build community with others and their anti-blackness is always present. So, you are the enemy.

I do think that the fact that the stars of the online “left” are all definitionally self-employed small-business owners is underdiscussed

hasan, who is not trans or queer, saying that Dems would shoot every trans person in the head to win elections, is just straight up ratfucking, indefensible

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy.
Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

And the press, consisting almost exclusively of people in the top quartile, destroyed him for it.
One of my black pill moments was that Biden actually focused on lifting the lowest quartiles up at the expense of the rich and the online left screamed at him about student loan forgiveness.
The vibecession was primarily driven by lower sentiment among the upper and middle classes, not the lower classes.
