I mean, it doesn't help that the actual lower classes are never in the news as individuals, but instead as an amorphous blob that are treated as both the most benighted creatures on earth, or treated to noble savage syndrome so obvious that Tolstoy himself would gag at it.

Americans are never beating the “unable to accurately read class” allegations.

Pundits correctly realizes they and their peers are out of touch with most normal people and rather than go to a bar and make friends they glob onto a caricature of The Working Man

Also there's a pretty decent chance that if Sliwa dropped out, he'd endorse Mamdani just to spite Cuomo

Weird how these guys', who *definitely* do not have an ounce of affection for Trump, first instinct when they see a liberal criticizing Trump is to attack the liberal

It sure is interesting what NYT reporters can get away with under their social media policy and what not.

Another example of a failed theater critic being assigned to a beat he knows nothing about because he's a smarmy prick to the readers and anyone who actually studies the field in question. Just like the boss wanted.

bluesky is an even weirder place than twitter. does my post say we should repeal Obamacare

no

does it say that the institutionalist instinct to devote so much emotion to defense of it rather than sympathizing with what it didnt/still has not fixed (for many) is misplaced?

yes. and i stand by that

You work as an economics reporter and you made a deliberate choice to smarmsplain the ACA while republicans are cutting billions in healthcare subsidies.

No Kings is the lib version of the tea party I’m pretty sure:

✅ Hate the President
✅ Overwrought revolutionary aesthetics
✅ Old people with cringe signs
✅ Calling politicians pedophiles
✅ Extremely likely to vote for fighters in primaries

When the Trump admin uses "antifa" as a boogeyman at least that's a reference from the current century but Mike Johnson is trying to get Americans scared of the Communist Party like it's 1950 lol

Antifa has stolen the US constitution. I repeat, Antifa has stolen the US constitution. Please keep an eye out for two men, Benjamin Franklin Gates and Riley Poole, along with a very beautiful woman by the name of Abigail Chase

You have to be a man, preferably white, who holds roughly the same opinions as the NYT editorial board to be treated as a national figure.

Diane, 43, mother of three and accountant at some minor firm: It is with regret that I pronounce the fatal truth: Drumpf ought to perish rather than a hundred thousand virtuous citizens; MAGA must fall so that the country may live

I love it when my friends post a screenshot of their family group chats where their moms are talking about Trump the same way French and American Revolutionaries talked about the king.

People will scoff at virtue signaling and then wonder why today’s billionaires don’t build museums, libraries, hospitals, and universities like Gilded Age ones did.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

larry @larrrrrry.bsky.social · 12d

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character
