Ofc some online libs are pretty tactless as they “attempt” to persuade ppl to act pragmatically within difficult political circumstances etc. But this right here is such an embarrassing inability to actually reckon with said political reality and obviously-true points being made.
It is absolutely vital for leftists to put in some serious effort to NOT say things a broad audience would find outrageously dumb/mockable. This ‘OPTICS NUKE’ -> ‘rightwinger clips & shares it widely’ -> ‘leftists double down on intentions/context’ cycle is completely untenable!!
Evergreen, Dems have to answer for every single wacky thing any rando even plausibly left-leaning ever says, while Republicans/Trump himself don’t even have to answer for the actions taken within the office of the President of the United States
Someone makes a public comment at a city council meeting and this guy acts as if it’s a real policy actually being considered.
Guys a joke.

I despise lefties who say stuff like this. “If you get pushed away by annoying people, you were never a great ally in the first place”. Ok? So now what? What’s the implication here?
Politics is a competition of repeatedly winning over fairweather fans. Unless you already have …

Beyond the disingenuous-ness of the word "smugly" and framing this 6-year-old interview (as he successfully attempted to flip a red state) as a good, up-to-date representation of his current stances, the lefty approach to data/polling here is really bad.
Do you support the Green New Deal?
Ossoff [smugly]: no
Do you support Medicare for All?
Ossoff [smugly]: no
Do you support abolishing ICE?
Ossoff [smugly]: no
Any poll that has Jon Ossoff or Gavin Newsom as more likely to win a general election over AOC is a junk poll.

This reminds me of when I’m just messing around on fifa and I concede because I bring my keeper charging 30m out just for a laugh. This comparison isn’t even as funny as it could be because it is so on-the-nose to what actually happened. In a top-5 most important USMNT game ever.

Annihilating public trust in something as critical as election integrity, as a high-level sitting congressman who knows everything he is saying is utter bullshit, needs to be criminally punishable. This is obscene, and so much more third-worldist than anything Dems could dream of
These parents should never be allowed to see their child again
South Carolina parents living in the state’s measles epicenter tell of their devastation after their unvaccinated 7-year-old son, Ethan, developed encephalitis, a complication from the virus that causes swelling and inflammation in the brain. trib.al/Fw47zA6
There are a lot of reasons this whole Hasan cycle is really dumb, but perhaps worse than everything else is this whole charade of claiming “Dems aren’t REALLY your friends” and then not even pretending to back it up with any semblance of policy evidence/discussion.

This is why people are fed up with Democrats in Congress: they’re unable to achieve the impossible (force Republicans, who control every corner of the federal gov’t, to obey the law), and I am going to rack up twitter likes by vaguely referencing an unspoken miracle play to do so
This is why people are fed up with Democrats in Congress.
No urgency, no action.
Zoom calls, strongly worded letters, and fundraising emails.
HEY @TheDemocrats, DO YOUR DAMN JOB FOR ONCE.

Trump doesn’t even pretend to address the factuality of Kimmel’s comment, let alone care about Kirk. Almost verbatim, his stance is, “late-night shows are not allowed to constantly insult me”.
At absolute most, a single-digit number of prominent republicans will criticize this.
The president on Air Force One: “When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that’s all they do — if you go back, I guess they haven’t had a conservative one in years, or something — when you go back and take a look, all they do is hit Trump. They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that.”

The median conservative commentator is incapable of analyzing a pie chart at the level of a 3rd grader. This person even has “Dr.” in her name. Extremely funny, until you remember these people’s votes count the same as ours. Fuck.

Our president, who has called every Dem city a shithole and every Dem leader some combination of stupid/inept/evil, is threatening to withhold infrastructure funding bc the governor was too "nasty" when he suggested they take a walk to discuss an issue. Third-worldist to the core

It’s simply not possible to hate republicans enough. A rainbow memorial for mass shooting victims is political, but a street named for Rush fucking Limbaugh doesn’t meet the criteria. There is no lie too cynical, too stupid, too downright evil for these subhuman freaks to pass up

Just so fucking depressing how easily he can lie to everyone. DC crime is down again this year, after 30-year lows in 2024. If he said the sky was green, most of his base and the political media at large wouldn’t give a shit. Half the country is entranced by an illiterate rapist.
