I love weekly TV, and think that most things do not benefit from binging. But whether this was a compromise or intended, I think having these full arcs drop at once feels like the best in between of traditional TV viewing and the on demand binging. Probably wouldn't work as well in lesser hands tho

Good? I feel like that will end fairly well for everyone involved.

A thing I wasn't aware of until corporate interests lazily started to implement it for pr & then turned into a culture war by ignorant chuds is actually bad because I only bothered to care about the caricature provided to me by corps and right wing grifters Independent thinker award winner over here

Their fear is large and untamable, even when they have the outlet anger and rage allows them.

Because they don't just want to do the things they want, they want to be liked while doing it.

To not even take the opportunity to embrace the iconography they hold so dear on the public stage. Even the American Nazi party of decades past has more of that brash arrogance to do it in public when it would have been seen even more unfavorably. These people are cowards at their core

While there are dangerous people involved, and the coming threats are very real and must be taken seriously, it is important to see just how soft these keyboard warriors and Nazi LARPers that make up a sizeable portion of the base truly are

Fascism has always been a cowardly position, couching the fear and feeling of smallness in a bravado of hate and anger, but to be afraid even when you have the stage. These people are not cut from the same cloth, of the fascists they want to nerdily RP as

The messages sent out tonight seem to be showing that a deal was made. They really were playing different games the whole time

YouTube doesn't matter because they somehow turned that into a right-wing shit hole by making just two "wrong" clicks pipeline seemingly by accident and just for the sake of growth. Just the old school bastardization of the tech giants. Money not an explicit agenda lol

Along with taking over all the branches of government, between tiktok, meta, and Twitter, whatever ends up happening, it's very clear that the Republicans understood the importance of gaining footholds in not just old media but the new. The Dems were never even playing the same game

It didn't seem to hurt sinema or Manchin, in fact they always got what they wanted. So let's do it, if everyone has to fling shit, then at least be someone working in the muck to actually do something.

If the end result is a do nothing Dem party, with any accomplishments won being able to be stripped by a candidate like Trump that you can't stop losing to, then there is nothing left to lose. No more harm that can be caused. Obstruct them, even when you agree, make them come to you, need you

No one plays nice, no one does anything for anything than their own power, if we want that power to effect change, they have long ago shown us the only way it happens.

"vote blue no matter who" won't work like it did for the GOP of there is no one actually playing the game.

We've watched the GOP transform into its final monstrous form, with the grip of power being stripped from those in charged that cultivated it because the base, the officials they elected didn't care about losing, or being disliked or breaking norms if they won in the end

I don't want to see AOC leave, I don't even actually want her to stop being able to make deals and play politics, but maybe it's time to take the reigns, they need to play ball with us or we will pick it up and go home. None of these people respond to anything but power and bullying
