Lol nobody is against working with people "who are different than them" theyre against working with fascists. "big tent" doesnt mean let literally eveeyone in regardless of their politics lmfao what the fuck? "Pick the lesser evil" we been doing that and ain't shit changed. Shocker.

PS: I’m probably just explaining something 99.9% of you understand but those few intellectually dishonest are making: Recognizing a big tent opposition doesn’t mean subsuming the causes you care about. This is not anti-fascism at the expense of X, Y, and Z. It’s your cause AND the big tent.

If you're wondering whether or not to get a flu shot, I didn't get one in time, and I just had a fever dream where I was in the Drew Carey Show because several days ago I was on the Wikipedia page for the Drew Carey Show. You don't have to do this to yourself.

This is good. We shouldn't have a stockpile of bombs to throw at people every second they dont do what we want. Am I the crazy one for thinking this?

This will effectively cripple the US military capacity to fight prolonged conflicts beyond the occasional targeted strike. Meanwhile, Hegseth is gutting the military leadership capacity. It's truly a perfect storm of stupidity and bad luck.

It's hard to feel anything about the ceasefire because I fully expect Israel to either break it - or have only agreed to it so Gaza becomes a Gulf monarch run client state of Israel

Lol when people say "its been two years of genocide" i need you to realize they are, willingly or not, doing propaganda for the right. This has been happening since 1947. This isn't new. Please stop acting like the past two years are all that has happened.

The obsession of these business-brained tech weirdos with the concept of Reading Books™ while simultaneously fighting tooth and nail against actually having to read books needs to be studied.

I didn't realize she was rambling on about how poor she was again until I saw my analytics spike on this video. If you want to know what Joanne used to say about her poverty before she started stretching the truth - this is it.

The president stood in front of the UN and whined about a malfunctioning escalator and tomorrow 15 centrist pundits are going to write the same op-ed they’ve written for a solid decade scolding the left to not get outraged over every little thing, by which they mean human rights.
