This is the laziest strawman I’ve seen yet.

“We’ve had lots of politicians who won without Donald Trump’s help. Richard Nixon. Hoover. That Teapot Dome Guy. How’d they work out for us?”

What the hell does Zohran Mamdani have to do with Mitt Romney?

I hate to do this to ya’, Beast, but your wallpaper may be the one thing you have in common with the Young Republicans of Greater New York! 🤣

These types decisions are why I finally got rid of cable. I don’t need any access to the networks.

The party has to stop telling its base that the “right way” forward is to abandon its most vulnerable members. There are people in these comments saying the problem is how the Dems communicate. I disagree. You have forgotten how to listen, and who to listen to. Stop with the consultants.

I don’t believe a damn thing this administration, home of the choose your own job statistics, lies about the CK shooter all the down, says about anything. If it’s coming from Kash Patel, it’s a fraud.

What a weird comment. First, I was responding to a specific quotation by Harris. It was on topic for this thread. Second, I am not “fixating”. It is specifically Trump’s “plans” that have now become what is known as our “reality”. We *must* focus on them, because *that* is what we are resisting. 🤨

planetjess2002.bsky.social @planetjess2002.bsky.social · 23d

Project 2025 is a detailed plan that goes far beyond simple vengeance on Trump’s enemies. It wasn’t devised by Trump himself, but he certainly planned to execute it if elected. Trump’s personal focus on vengeance is just one part of the picture, and Harris is giving “book tour” more than facts.

No. It cannot be blamed on Cook. Victim blaming is disgusting.

It’s also very much about racism and misogyny. He went after the Black woman first.

But I truly would love to have this exact car back:

1987 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with powder blue interior, preferably with the included Oldsmobile cassette soundtrack that had “Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong” as well as the “There Is a Special Feeling in Oldsmobile” song for full rocking out purposes.

How up your own asses are you to think that you’re the first youths to think it’s hard to find somewhere private to get up to shenanigans? Bitches, please. This is why you need AI? Are you incapable of creative problem solving? We had ALL the problems and NONE of the tech.

Young people are “telling” us all sorts of things. Which mostly seem to rest on the “wisdom” that previous generations who maintained friendships didn’t face racism, poverty, disability, homophobia, transphobia, gang violence or any of the social ills facing today’s generations. Wow. The ignorance.

planetjess2002.bsky.social @planetjess2002.bsky.social · Aug 22

You’re determined not to grow at all, & thus you’re a waste of my time. My personal experience is a)also the experience of a diverse array of people who do use the parks for free every day, and b)doesn’t need to be taken literally but as an example of thinking creatively rather than fatalistically.

Is there racism in the public parks? Yes, there’s racism everywhere, and the Parks Police are dicks. Are you also just trolling this thread because you’re determined to naysay any simple solution to sitting on your ass whining that you can’t hang out with your friends unless you’re rich? Yes.
