You ain’t gonna learn what you don’t want to know - New York

I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.
I quit in 2010, and this happens occasionally. Sometimes you get a whiff of someone smoking 30 feet away and it smells amazing.

Zero chance I would act on that though. Usually the smell is repulsive.

Mr. Schumer, why do this after the bill passes? There should have been a modern, very online messaging strategy on every platform well before today.

How do you pierce the reality distortion field of the right wing online media ecosystem?

Not only of the details of this bill, but to explain their vision to America. Get us excited and motivated for their policy ideas. Talk about how their vision for something different will help everyday people.
July 3, 2025 at 6:25 PM
Ignorance of the details is the goal on the right, because they want to jam this through even though Many GOP senators and house members hate it, and they don’t want to a rouse the public.

As such, it was the Dem’s job to raise that awareness.

They just don’t understand how to effectively counter the 24/7 onslaught of far right PR and messaging.

Most people probably have no idea what is even in this bill.
July 3, 2025 at 6:21 PM
They need to figure out how to be blasting out their vision on every modern online platform on a daily basis.

Delaying this vote does absolutely nothing to stop it being passed. The house will pass this today regardless.

This is leadership in a nutshell. Focused on a manufactured PR appearance of doing something, but ultimately doing nothing.

They should be GOING TO BAT for us, not posting a picture of holding a literal bat.

Unreal

Car brained boomers can’t fathom wanting to live in walking/biking distance transit and shops.

If you want a single family detached suburban lifestyle that’s fine, you just don’t need to have that right next to public transit and shops.

It really is. People can be obnoxious about it on here.

Am I remembering correctly that the Dead’s In The Dark tape had My Brother Esau, when the CD did not?

It was usually the CD that had the “bonus” track 😂

People were cheering on the deaths of the couple murdered outside the museum in DC. Thankfully less so the Molotov cocktail attack on elderly protestors in Colorado.

This isn’t an abstraction to us. Synagogues have armed security for years at this point.

Then we are scolded and lectured on what is and is not antisemitism, because of a refusal to hear what we are actually saying.

It’s hard wanting to advocate for a Palestinian state while getting shut down and scolded for asking for help with things like “globalize the intifada” & “Zionism is evil”

The problem with the endless arguments about this topic is that there are more sentiments being expressed than just “compassion for the people of Gaza”.

Jews worried about antisemitism are talking about one thing, and this “compassion” viewpoint is a different thing.

Unfortunately, this did not age well.

These hearings are pointless political theater, and have been for quite some time. They get 5 minutes to attempt to generate sound bites and nothing of substance happens.
