Abundance is a pitch deck for wealthy tech donors, and its leading brand ambassadors have already moved on to whatever other bullshit they think will let the air out of the tires of economic populism.
So abundance is a policy framework while affordability is a campaign slogan and while they interplay with each other they're both still here.

I believe this was the first movie I saw at a theater, the Wildey. And for their whole thing to be there are no cats in America, and then there's a bunch of cats in America? That's a good anti-jingo lesson for a little kid.
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

This is driving me fucking crazy. It should be a felony to depict a real person in AI videos like this. If you do this, you should never see sunlight again.

I'm sorry to repeat myself but all of this shit is pretty meaningless after Democrats spent several years going to the mats to support an orgy of mass murder in Gaza. There is no standard of decency, no moral standing, nothing to fall back on.
honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

No one is entitled to this level of smarminess
This is the thing. A bunch of groups representing young voters went all in with an endorsement for Platner without doing any due diligence. They’d never even heard of the guy a few months ago. These are the same folks who rage against older Democrats. Well, with age wisdom often comes too.
Like, I was aggressively wrong here. Loved the video. Thought he looked like a fucking champ. People who know him like him and are loud about it.
But now there’s new information and you adapt to it. Getting all pot committed to a guy you had never heard of three months ago is unhinged.

You know what they say, one minute you nominating a guy with a Nazi tattoo, the next you're helping carry out a genocide. I'm very glad neither is happening or has been happening for several years now
Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.
All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."
It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

This sort of self-congratulatory nonsense just seems pretty irrelevant to me
After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.
Resistance Is Cringe

You do not have to engage. They are here in bad faith. No one needs to hear about Wayne Chrebet or Chad Pennington. Block New York Jets fans and move on.

Profiles of raging losers like this guy need to share their internet browser and comment history. That should be the baseline requirement.
I was trying to put my finger on what bothered me about this portrayal and I think it’s that it just takes the guy’s words at face value, like he was a nice guy and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death just pushed him over the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

Jumping on this to add that standing for god bless america is bitchmade behavior, like doing the pledge of allegiance as an adult.

One fight I will never abandon is that Indiana and Ohio are not Midwest because they are the Brown states. Separate category.
This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Yes its wild that leftists prefer one type of candidate to another, and think that significant aspects of his campaign can traduce different regions of the country. No one else does this.
It's telling how leftists in the national media who are saying that Democrats *must* follow the Mamdani model bc he won a primary in an overwhelmingly Democratic city aren't saying Democrats should follow the Spanberger model when she's leading an R by 12 in a statewide race in a purple state.

It is so unsettling to watch a truly stupid person emotionally contend with a shadow puppet
An entire generation of dumbs are getting themselves worked up into a fascist frenzy over inaccurate nostalgia videos they know are complete false and it is terrifying hot profoundly strong these feelings are for them despite being very aware it's fake and bullshit.

“If it is to succeed, abundance needs to resist the gravitational pull to turn the whole movement into a platform for moderate Democrats.“ @jerusalem.bsky.social is correct, and I would reiterate that fascists can also have no place in the coalition. www.theargumentmag.com/p/dont-make-...
