maybe I'm just old and cranky now but as soon as I realize I'm talking to a right winger I don't go "look at this cool bug I found" and I have firmly come to believe dunking on a right winger is Influencer behavior that usually comes with a flimsy ideological pretense but is really just aura farming
Wherever communists who are really into treating pre-Nazi Germany like the Red Silmarillion talk about the Gotha Program they are talking about how people like this have the reins of centrist liberalism
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

The fundamental problem the Democrats have: "How can we slap a different coat of paint on the same shit and still sell it?" ran out of answers sometime between 2008 and 2016.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??

a lot of people are asking (fair, honest) questions like "why didn't zohran just kamehameha trump" or "call me when this helps people". to which I say, there is value fighting for the hearts of the people and this whole affair further humiliates the dipshit centrists
This guy has his finger on the pulse of his party's base in a way that others in his caucus unequivocally just do not

What's funny is the government is now set to shut down 1/31. They literally just wanted to be able to end the session and go on vacation for the holidays and not have to worry about travel schedule interruptions.
