If you need to be persuaded to vote out Republicans, you aren't actually against fascism.
100% geek and caretaker when not politics-ing.

This pic is the explanation for everything going wrong.
It is all entirely because America is unwilling to tell Republicans and conservatives "no" or give them consequences.
And that is because we have a psychotic hangup about telling Democrats "yes", even if it's just so we can tell Repubs "no".

It's not the whole reason and I don't want to inflate their importance but influential accounts blasting this kind of demotivational message every day to thousands of people who should support Ds is part of the story why Kamala lost
Rs do not have these kind of people supposedly on their side

Lawrence O’Donnell gave a very good explanation of leadership in the Senate context. It’s not everyone’s strength. The fact Schumer held all thru the elections is a win.
At least 2 states are immensely devastated by the shutdown: NV & VA. ATC & Fed employees are imbalanced weight on their econs.

After listening to Lawrence O’Donnell’s perspective yesterday, those 5 Senators got 271 R’s to change their position on increasing the funding for SNAP long term. They also got all those who were laid off by Trump during the shutdown their jobs back, as well as other govt workers. All is not lost

Schumer led Senate Democrats in fighting Trump over healthcare, period.
If you think Senate leaders can control members of their caucus, you don’t know much about the Senate. And before you say “McConnell,” remember why we still have the ACA when Trump and McConnell wanted it gone.

Been pointing this out to people who are claiming the Democrats that caved somehow are ignoring their voters.
No, this is in fact what some people intentionally voted for. Time to start blaming the voters themselves for that.

So I pissed off a GPT stan who didn't like I criticized their precious LLMs, and in crying about it they did a screenshot of me with a labeller.
Which leads me to ask based on said screenshot: WTF is a "mink" in terms of what a GPT stan would use as a slang term?

I am also unreasonably disappointed I can't find a good meme reaction gif of the whole thing from Blazing Saddles with the man trying to take himself hostage, because that perfectly sums up how American voters act regards Republicans vs Democrats.

I was going to rant about "unserious political takes".
But I realized they all amount to the same take:
"I am mad Democrats didn't stop Republicans from doing horrible things. So I will reward Repubs by letting them stay in power to do those things, to punish Dems for not stopping them. Got that?"

I really wish what would happen is Bluesky makes it so you can enable reposts on Feeds.
As on Twitter I had no problems with mutual following everyone because I could make Lists galore to actually read.
But here Feeds don't show reposts, which kinda sucks as I follow many good curators.

Also FYI the reason I limit quotes and replies on a lot of my posts to followers only, is I get tired of far leftists loving to quote and reply not with good faith discussion but with trolling, insults, logical fallacies, etc.
I don't have the bandwidth to deal with people being assholes anymore.

OK, just had one of my followers go bugnuts at me.
They thought I had unfollowed them, when I actually had never followed them in the first place. I explained it's because I'm a wacko who actually reads all of my following feed, so I have to be really picky to keep the feed at a size I can read.

Honestly, whatever, I'm back to "unhappy resigned apathy" about what happens because Americans are too crazy and dumb to ever do what's necessary to fix anything so there's no point in having any hope it will get fixed.

Murc's Law has become the default state of politics. It's almost never about openly rewarding Republicans for being corrupt psychopaths, but punishing Democrats for not living up to cartoon superhero standards in terms of action and/or moral purity that the Republucans get a complete pass on.

Why do so few people see this the way I do?
To me the concepts of "Democrats are better than Republicans and so aren't the ones who need to change" and "Repubs are terrible as we keep rewarding them for being terrible, so stop doing that" are obvious, yet I get treated as crazy when I point it out.

If you're wondering why my response to the 2025 election was muted, the whole "wow, known conservative Democrats from known conservative states voted conservative, I now hate the entire Dem Party because they planned to betray us and will let Republicans stay in power to send Dems a message" is why.
