There is another Democrat in the primary. There is a YEAR to pick a new progressive for the primary if you want. We should reject your false choice between a Republican and a Nazi.

Stop fucking listening to these people. If Black people, especially Black women are telling you that a candidate looks suspect, yoi need to fucking listen

There's a year to choose a new progressive, and regardless of if they win the primary there will still be a non-Nazi Democrat to rally around

"How many vets took mercenary work?"

Honestly fuck 'em. If you become a gun for hire it completely belies any claim to honor or virtue you want to say motivated your enlistment in the first place.

Work food service. Sell drugs. Take feet pics. Figure it the fuck out.

The whole internet loves buff white populist, who combines left wing ideas with masculine aesthetics prized among reactionaries!

Fetterman was his. Tulsi Gabbard was a founding fellow of the Sanders institute. He tried to hold onto Matt Orfalea after his repugnant MLK wet dream video came. Like at some point this is a pattern. Progressivism doesn't need Bernie, and he is not helping.

Milkshake Duck (1971)

Professor Dooley (Dean Jones) takes home an adorable milkshake-drinking duck (voice: John Wayne) from his research lab as a pet for his wife (Sandy Duncan), only to find out it has the opinions of John Wayne.

It's less "We regret to inform you the milkshake duck is racist" and more "We regret to inform you the goose-stepping goose is indeed racist."

Honestly most of the Nazis I've ever seen started ironic. An ironic Nazi is just a Nazi. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Hitler was just joshin' and it got away from him.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

=
IHUFFPOSTI
"Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

You absolutely can come back from being a nazi tattoo having racist. And if that's this man's story, good for him. At the same time, where white folks are getting caught the fuck up is, even if you do all that folks DO NOT HAVE TO FUCK WITH YOU!!!
And that's just something you gotta deal with

Bro, don't put Mamdami's name next to Platner if you want him to win. Platner literally has a Nazi chest tattoo, be serious.

They updated the headline to be even more Orwellian: "Immigration agents shot a suspect after he rammed their vehicle during LA stop, DHS says"

I've been trying really hard to concentrate fire on the fascists and cut back on internecine bickering with the Sanders wing. And now he's defending a fascism fanboy. I really can't, folks.

bro what are you SAYING???

when pressed on platner's nazi tattoo, sanders lashed out at the "corrupt campaign finance system" adding "we don't have enough candidates in this country that will take on the powers that be and fight for the working class."

Then the vast majority of progressive speakers on the matter have been terrible communicators. The case generally made is about inequality with a focus on the argument that the poor and working class should have that wealth to improve conditions. Which is true and right! But its not the power topic.

This.

I never much cared about the *moral* assertion that billionaires should not exist. It's true but never seemed like the most pressing moral failure to resolve.

The REAL reason billionaires shouldn't exist is entirely practical: they're an apocalyptic-level threat.

Micah @rincewind.run · 1d

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 1d

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Always take sentences using “the Cloud” or “the Internet” and try replacing those phrases with “A shed in Virginia” to see how they hold up. “Our service is fully based in a shed in Virginia”; “All my files are in a shed in Virginia”; “A shed in Virginia was designed to survive a nuclear war”, etc.
