maybe I'm just old and cranky now but as soon as I realize I'm talking to a right winger I don't go "look at this cool bug I found" and I have firmly come to believe dunking on a right winger is Influencer behavior that usually comes with a flimsy ideological pretense but is really just aura farming
You don't need to follow people who you think have correct political opinions but you find deeply annoying!

Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

That "The law should apply equally to everyone" is now considered a radical proposition only shows how necessary and overdue it is
we need to bring the hammer down on wealthy and connected elites. it’s been desperately needed for a long time. regardless of party or politics.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

2. i'm sensibly skeptical

3. i'm a little put off by how giddy everyone is in a way that has nothing to do with the victims

4. no one with history should see phrases like "child rape" this often

5. idek what to mute

I'm very happy I just expected the Dems to cave without a single worthwhile concession, it seems everyone who got their hopes up has been devastated and I don't blame them but I don't need that kind of depression in my life lol.

the left has been burned a lot before by electing people we thought were good and turned out real stinkers but i think zohran is the genuine real deal for bringing her into the fold

People who hate Zohran and everything he stands for: Now that Zohran has won, the most effective thing he can do is betray all of his principles

this is b/c transphobia is a brain-melting cognitohazard. it's v. important to understand this. once you go down this path you cannot shut the fuck up about it, whether you're a republican reactionary or a beltway centrist, to the point where it resembles any other kind of net-induced cybersickness
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

the ADL is launching a "Mamdani Monitor." Beyond absurd.

It couldn't get more hateful and Islamophobic if it tried, and no it will not make Jews or anybody else safer

Checking in on Rudy Giuliani, I see he's having an insane one

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

Literally less than a week ago Spanberger said that Zohran is not in her party.
Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.
i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

everyone doing the “big tent” song and dance right now is trying to get you to forget that the democrats have excluded zohran from that tent. these people do not believe a big tent can include someone like him unless he abandons his policies, and they’ll continue to call him divisive until he does.
